Some movie projects orbit the edges of entertainment news in a seemingly endless cycle of vague updates, pre-production rumors, and innumerable creative hand-offs. These ephemeral properties don't seem to inhabit Development Hell as much as they do Development Purgatory.

A prime example of these whispered-of but little-seen ghost-projects is the classic video game adaptation Asteroids. Announced three years ago, Asteroids immediately gained a reputation as another instance of Hollywood scraping the bottom of the creative barrel. After years of vague plot reports and script changes, it appears that the production has taken on yet another writer: scripter Jez Butterworth.

According to a short article published by Variety, the Asteroids film adaptation has signed Jez Butterworth to revise and restructure the film's existing screenplay. The movie's script was previously tackled by Matt Lopez (Race to Witch Mountain) and Evan Spiliotopoulos (Wanted 2). Asteroids has always been the pet project of producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, one of the major producers behind the Transformers series.

The acquisition of Butterworth to rework the Asteroids script may be a coup for the production. Butterworth has more experience in scripting than either of his predecessors, having written screenplays for The Last Legion and Fair Game. He also has experience as a director and actor. Whether he channeled this experience into a workable Asteroids script is, as ever, up in the air.

'Asteroids' has seen numerous graphical updates over the years.

An undeniable limbo project, Asteroids has spent years as an "upcoming release" with no clear timetable for production. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura gave a brief description of an early plotline, saying that it involves, "…two estranged brothers that must team up to save Earth from an alien race." Despite insisting that a "strong, deep mythology" has been built for the film, one can only imagine that the number of changes in writers and scripts reflects the difficulty of "adapting" a video game that literally dates from the first days of the medium. The Asteroids production seems to share more than a few traits with Battleship – which is to say that a completely plotless IP is going to be used to sell a generic special effects extravaganza.

That said, the upgrade to a more experienced writer may allow Asteroids to rise above its rather hollow beginnings. Also, the lack of solid source material can be as much of a boon as it is a hindrance. If the film actually does follow up on the promise of a rich mythos, it could transcend its arcade cabinet origins and become a fun new science fiction property. One can only hope that the movie will be more than two-and-a-half hours of exploding space rocks.

Asteroids has no projected release date.

How To Tell If Balik Pulau Durians Are The Real Deal? - Peter Tan ...

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 04:36 PM PST

The Star published an article about durians from elsewhere being passed off as those from Balik Pulau. How does one tell if a durian is really from Balik Pulau and not from Kulim, Bukit Mertajam or Taiping?

A pile Balik Pulau durians on the floor before sorting

Freshly picked Balik Pulau durians.

For most, a durian is a durian is a durian no matter where it is from. However, for the connoisseurs the subtle differences in taste can be very obvious. And Balik Pulau is said to produce the best durians anywhere.

If one has been savouring Balik Pulau durians long enough, one can tell the subtle difference in tastes between an ang heh from Balik Pulau and one from Batu Kurau. The one from Balik Pulau has a stronger pungent odour and a more intense taste that lingers longer in the mouth and hand.

First things first, we need to realise that most of the popular durians like ang heh, khun poh ang and hor lor are no longer harvested from the original trees. There can only be one original tree and from a specific plantation. Due to popularity and demand, they are stem grafted from the original tree or from stems from budding seeds and cultivated in other plantations to increase yield and profit.

These durians may not taste exactly the same as those from the original tree because of soil conditions and other geographical factors. Likewise, durians from other places just do not taste the same like those from Balik Pulau due to those same factors.

The telling characteristics of a specific durian cultivar are the shape, size and colour of the thorns, and the size and shape of the fruit itself. Truth be told, after so many years of savouring Balik Pulau durians, I am still not good at identifying a durian by those characteristics but a durian planter or seller can tell with just a glance which cultivar a durian is from.

The other characteristics to look out for are the shape of the pangsa (the compartments in the fruit that holds the flesh and seed), and colour, texture, taste and aroma of the flesh, and the size of the seed. Each cultivar has a specific colour and taste that is unique.

For example, cheh puay has flesh that is a shade of bright yellow with very creamy, sweet, rich and sticky texture. On the other hand, ang heh has a mild pleasant aroma, not overly sweet and has a smooth texture with hints of pink in the flesh and pangsa that resembles a big prawn, hence its name.

Durians, be they from Balik Pulau or elsewhere, share those same general characteristics. So how do we determine that a Balik Pulau durian as claimed by the durian seller is really from Balik Pulau?

The important fact to remember is that durian season in Balik Pulau usually lasts from June to August. Any durian that is claimed to be from there in other months is probably not genuine.

I remember a story that my cousin Peter recounted. He was at a durian stall selecting durians and asked the seller where those fruits were from.

"Balik Pulau," the guy told him.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes, from Balik Pulau," came the confident reply.

Now, Peter grew up in a durian plantation in Balik Pulau. Our great grandfather cultivated durians. So did our grandfather. Peter's father who is my maternal uncle is still cultivating durians there. And he knew for sure that Balik Pulau durians were out of season then.

So he challenged the durian seller, "Lets go to Balik Pulau. If there's even one single durian on the tree, I'll eat the roots and twigs of that tree."

There was not another peep from the durian seller after that. Peter caught the durian seller red handed but imagine how many unsuspecting customers the seller had cheated and profited from. The only way to ensure that the durian is genuinely Balik Pulau is to personally pick the fruit after it has dropped from the tree. Otherwise, one has to trust the durian seller. That is also the reason why I only get my Balik Pulau durians from the one source that I can trust.

Kronologi: Roboh binaan 'haram' di Sg.Gelugor selepas 5 tahun ...

Posted: 09 Nov 2012 02:35 AM PST

SEKUMPULAN Direktorat Penguatkuasaan Majlis Perbadaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP) semalam menjadi mangsa keganasan 10 pemuda - dipercayai penyokong Umno - gara-gara mahu merobohkan sebahagian binaan tambahan tanpa kebenaran membabitkan sebuah rumah milik Melayu di Sungai Gelugor, Sungai Pinang.

Seorang pemandu jentera turut dikasari selain cermin jenteranya dipecah oleh pemuda-pemuda misteri berkenaan.

Kekecohan yang berlaku kira-kira jam 10.00 pagi itu tergendala sehingga jam 11.30 pagi sebelum menerima campur tangan polis.

Dilaporkan, sehingga kini langkah penguatkuasaan masih tertangguh sungguhpun aduan penduduk setempat kepada Majlis dilakukan sejak lima tahun lepas lagi.

Ekoran itu, beberapa blog serta Facebook mesra pembangkang Pulau Pinang - Umno dan Barisan Nasional - mula menggambarkan pentadbiran Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, YAB Tuan Lim Guan Eng serta DAP anti Melayu hatta cuba digambarkan mengusir Melayu daripada negeri berkenaan.

Sumber memberitahu, langkah penguatkuasaan itu sebenarnya adalah hasil aduan jiran setempat sendiri sejak lima tahun lepas dan MPPP telahpun melaksanakan prosedur berwajib sebelum langkah akhir merobohkan binaan tanpa kebenaran itu cuba dilakukan semalam.

Malah kata sumber lagi, Majlis pernah beberapa kali menangguhkan langkah penguatkuasaan ke atas rumah berkenaan, termasuk selepas diminta secara rasmi oleh Koid Teng Guan, iaitu Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) DAP bagi Kawasan Sungai Pinang.

Berikut adalah kronologi kes bagi membuktikan MPPP mengikut prosedur sebelum langkah meruntuhkan binaan haram itu cuba dilakukan semalam.

2007, 1 Oktober – Satu notis telah dikeluarkan di bawah Seksyen 72 Akta Jalan, Parit dan Bangunan ke atas kerja-kerja pindaan dan tambahan yang telah dijalankan tanpa kebenaran.

Majlis juga telah menerima aduan berhubung pembinaan ini.

Tambahan adalah dari jenis tiang dan konkrit bertetulang berukuran 10' 0'' x 80' 0'' dan juga pada bahagian depan 20' 0'' x 10' 0''.

Tiada sebarang pelan dan kelulusan diperolehi dari MPPP dan juga bangunan tiada anjakan 2 meter dari sempadan lot sisi.

2007, 11 Oktober – Notis susulan dibawah Sek.72(6) Akta Jalan Parit dan bangunan dikeluarkan memberi tempoh 30 hari kepada pemilik untuk meroboh dan mengosongkan premis terbabit .

2008, 2 Januari – Notis 24 jam Sek.97 dikeluarkan meminta pemilik mematuhi arahan notis sebelum ini dan juga notis untuk memberi MPPP kuasa untuk memasuki bangunan bagi tujuan penguatkuasaan.

2008, 21 Julai – Kes ini telah dibawa ke mahkamah untuk kesalahan dibawah Seksyen 70 AJPB dan pada 21/7/2008 En.Md.Noor bin Tahir pemilik premis telah mengaku salah dan telah dikenakan denda oleh mahkamah sebanyak RM2,000/=.

2008, 4 November - Kes ini kemudiannya dibentang ke mesyuarat JPO pada untuk tindakan perobohan.

2009, 19 Januari - Penguatkuasa telah memberikan amaran lisan kepada pemilik premis.

2009, 17 Februari - Satu surat rayuan daripada YB Koid Teng Guan telah diterima meminta Majlis menangguhkan tindakan perobohan dan beri tempoh masa kepada pemilik untuk mematuhi notis.

Rayuan ini telah dipanjangkan kepada Tuan SU utk pertimbangan dan pemilik diberikan tempoh 3 bulan untuk patuhi undang-undang.

2009, 12 Mac - Surat makluman kepada YB Koid Teng Guan dan pemilik berkenaan lanjutan tempoh 3 bulan telah dikeluarkan pada 12/3/2009.

Untuk makluman pemilik tidak mengemukakan sebarang permohonan pelan bangunan kepada majlis sehingga kini dan struktur haram di tapak juga dibiarkan terbengkalai dan tidak dirobohkan.

Tempoh lanjutan juga telah tamat dan tiada sebarang permohonan dikemukakan.

2011, 7 Disember – Pengadu En.Zulkifly menghantar emel kepada Majlis menyatakan kelewatan Majlis mengambil tindakan ke atas aduan yang beliau yang telah berlarutan selama 5 tahun.

2012, 25 Julai – Memo jabatan kepada Penguatkuasa minta tindakan penguatkuasaan dijadualkan.

2012, 28 Ogos – Surat pemberitahuan kepada YB Kawasan Tuan S.N Rayer dan juga kepada YB Exco dikeluarkan untuk memaklumkan tindakan penguatkuasaan yang akan diambil ke atas premis ini.

2012, 4 Oktober – Surat maklumbalas dari YB kawasan Tuan S.N.Rayer diterima memaklumkan yang pihak YB tiada bantahan ke atas tindakan penguatkuasaan.

2012, 7 November – Memo diterima dari Pejabat Penguatkuasa memaklumkan yang perobohan akan dilaksanakan pada 8.11.2012 ke atas premis tersebut.

2012, 8 November – Jam 10.00 pagi tiba di tapak dan memaklumkan penghuni rumah seorang perempuan warga emas dan anak perempuan beliau akan tujuan operasi dan menerangkan kepada beliau secara baik akan perlanggaran undang-undang yang telah dibuat oleh pemilik rumah.

Di mana pada jam lebih kurang 11.15 pagi terdapat sekumpulan ( 10 orang ) pemuda melayu tiba dan membuat kecoh ditapak.

Pemandu jentera berantai telah dikasari oleh pemuda-pemuda terbabit dan cermin kaca jentera tersebut telah ditendang hingga pecah oleh salah seorang daripada mereka.

Dengan bantuan dari pihak Polis yang ada kekecohan dapat dileraikan dan keadaan adalah terkawal.

"Kronologi kes ini akan dibentangkan kepada kepemimpinan Kerajaan Negeri dalam masa terdekat, mungkin minggu depan untuk menolak fitnah pihak-pihak tertentu," ujar sumber kepada PenangInsight.com.

BN DAN UMNO JADI BENTENG - meloya

Muhyiddin Yassin menegaskan, UMNO dan Barisan Nasional (BN) perlu mendapat mandat yang lebih besar pada Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-13 bagi mempertahankan asas-asas pembentukan negara bangsa.

Dia berkata, ia kerana asas-asas seperti institusi raja, kedudukan Islam, keluhuran perlembagaan, hak keistimewaan orang Melayu, bahasa Melayu dan sebagainya semakin diancam akibat keghairahan parti pembangkang mengejar kuasa.

"Bila mereka (pembangkang) menganjurkan bendera Malaysia ditukar, pijak gambar Najib, kalau nak senaraikan dah berpuluh-puluh atau beratus-ratus petanda termasuk mereka menentang rasuah yang bagi saya amat bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Malaysia," katanya.
