Jet set radio, Possibly the BEST game ever on dreamcast, same goes with JSRF and JGRA except different systems. Now I know a bunch of people want more, maybe for wii, I dunno. At least just make a new one for any system! If you own any of these games and you think they're the best EVER (or you just love them) support this!

There are a growing number of people in the UK buying property in the Bodrum area and also holiday sales in the Turkish Aegean area are on the increase.

We ask that Easyjet begin flights from UK airport(s) to Bodrum BJV.

ENGLISH:

“The Forbidden Kingdom”, the movie which has Jackie Chan and Jet Li to play together after years of demands from fans all around the world and after so many problems caused by the difficulty to find a good and worth plot, is now being filmed.

In order to realize the plan called previously “The J&J Project”, they aimed at the best and at last director Zhang Yimou was chosen (1: http://www.monkeypeaches.com/0508M.html 2: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/comments/?entryid=230819).
Later on Yimou dropped the assignement because he said: “Only Jackie Chan can make a Jackie Chan Movie”, so Peter Jackson was supposed to take his place.

Well...they dropped this idea too and chosen at last director Rob Minkoff (“Stuart Little”).
We think he is not a bad director, but HE IS FOR SURE NOT GOOD TO DIRECT A MOVIE LIKE THIS.
Only an oriental production team can handle this kind of movie, with its traditions, its methods, its directors and its way of doing things, but not Rob Minkoff, who has not enough technique and experience on the set about directing oriental action movies and action sequences.

The plot moreover is completely different from the first previews: the story written by John Fusco was previously announced as an “Epic/Action Movie”, but now it turned in a “Family Movie” with SOME action scene.
And the worst part is that Jackie Chan and Jet Li are not the protagonists!!! They have important parts: Sha Monk (Jackie Chan) and Monkey King/Lan Cai He (Jet Li), BUT Michael Angarano, a young american actor, will be the protagonist!
He will be an adolescent American obsessed from kung who find himself in tha Ancient China and joins a group of martial arts masters in order to free Monkey King.

There are no words to comment.

ITALIANO

“The Forbidden Kingdom”, il film che vede Jackie Chan e Jet Li recitare assieme dopo anni di richieste dei fan e problemi interni causate dalla difficoltà di trovare una trama che sia all’altezza delle aspettative e dei due attori, ha iniziato le riprese a Maggio 2007.

Per realizzare concretamente il progetto, denominato precedentemente “The JJ Project”, si era puntato al meglio e si era infine parlato del famoso e bravo regista Zhang Yimou (FONTE1: http://www.monkeypeaches.com/0508M.html FONTE2: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/comments/?entryid=230819 ). In seguito, accantonata questa idea perché lo stesso Yimou ha affermato che “Solo Jackie Chan può fare un film per Jackie Chan”, si è parlato di Peter Jackson.
Ebbene non solo anche quest’ultimo è stato accantonato, ma si è infine deciso che il regista sarà (e tuttora “è”) Rob Minkoff, regista di “Stuart Little”.
Non che sia un cattivo regista, ma non è ASSOLUTAMENTE ADATTO a girare un film di questo genere, un film che SOLO UNA PRODUZIONE ORIENTALE, con le sue tradizioni, i suoi metodi di fare e i suoi registi, può girare e rendere al meglio. Un film che implica una conoscenza di tecnica e metodi di girare le scene d’azione che il suddetto regista, anche in riferimento alla sua precedente carriera cinematografica, non possiede neanche in minima parte.

La trama inoltre si distacca molto da come si leggeva nelle prime anteprime, infatti questa sceneggiatura scritta da John Fusco rende il film, precedentemente annunciato come Epico/Azione, una “Commedia d’avventura per famiglie” con qualche scena d’azione, e NON SOLO:
i protagonisti non sono più Jackie Chan e Jet Li, che comunque interpreteranno parti importanti, cioè il Monaco Sha (Jackie Chan) e Monkey King/Lan Cai He (Jet Li), bensì un attore chiamato Michael Angarano che interpreterà la parte di un adolescente americano ossessionato dal kung fu, che tramite varie peripezie finisce in Cina e si unisce ad un gruppo di maestri di arti marziali per liberare Monkey King.
Non ci sono parole per commentare.

I'm 18 years old and have a beautiful 13 month old daughter. I started the young parents program at balga senior high school in Western Australia in July 2006.

This facility helps young parents go back to school so that they can receive a proper education and do well in life for themselves and their children. We currently get JET assistance so that we dont have to pay full price for child care, and we can still afford the necessities in life. May I add that not only young people receive this payment it is ALL parents that return to study, whether it be school, TAFE or Uni. Now the government are planning to only give the JET payment to eligable applicants for 1 year and then make them pay $127 per week! We are trying to do whats right by going back to school so we can get a good job and get OFF centrelink.

As you can see the Government really cares! Please sign this petition so that all parents have a fighting chance in life to build a good foundation for their children.

Thankyou.
