Summer Season Opens at Disneyland Park,
May
25, 2013 with dazzling new live
show. By Gary Sunkin Walt
Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort will kick
off a Monstrous Summer by keeping three theme parks
open for 24 hours nonstop on Memorial Day Weekend,
the traditional start of the family travel
season.
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mickey Mouse and a cast of
beloved Disney characters will embark on a series
of musical adventures through the magical powers of
a sorcerer's map in "Mickey and the Magical Map,"
the all-new live show coming to the Fantasyland
Theatre in Disneyland Park May 25, scheduled for
five daily performances.
••••
Created by Disney Creative Entertainment, "Mickey
and the Magical Map" was conceived for children of
all ages and represents the return of Disney
storytelling to the newly refurbished Fantasyland
Theatre, a venue that merges the tradition of live
outdoor performances with theatrical technology.
Performed in the most magical of lands,
Fantasyland, the new show reveals a mischievous
Mickey Mouse, in his timeless role as the
sorcerer's apprentice.
••••
Fantasyland Theatre, a classic Disneyland venue,
was inspired by the original Fantasyland Theater
(former spelling) which showed Disney cartoons and
Mouseketeer footage from 1955 to 1964. The
current theatre debuted in 1985 as Videopolis, a
dance location, which quickly drew crowds for stage
productions including "One Man's Dream," "Dick
Tracy Starring in Diamond Double Cross," "Mickey's
Nutcracker," and one of Disney's first stage
productions of "Beauty and the Beast."
••••
In 1995, the venue was renamed Fantasyland Theatre
with the debut of "The Spirit of
Pocahontas." "Animazement -- The Musical"
enjoyed a popular three-year run and "Snow
White--An Enchanting Musical" played for two years.
The theatre was then converted to an area where
guests could meet Disney Princesses.
••••
President of the Disneyland Resort, Michael
Colglazier, said "We're thrilled to debut our
captivating new show 'Mickey and the Magical Map'
and to invite guests to experience Fantasy Faire, a
new themed area with Disney Princess encounters and
two live shows based on favorite princess stories,"
The show also sends Mickey Mouse on a theatrical
adventure and takes the audience to India, China,
Virginia, New Orleans, Hawaii, and "Under the
Sea."
••••
"Mickey and the Magical Map" has writing by Carolyn
Gardner and is directed by Tracy Halas. The
production designer is Steve Bass; the creative
director is Sylvia Hase; the music is produced by
Bruce Healey, supervised and arranged by Timothy
Williams and supervised by Matt Walker. The
show producer is Ray Coble.
••••
"Mickey and the Magical Map, will be a highlight of
2013 at the Disneyland Resort, which also features
recent additions such as princess encounters in the
new Fantasy Faire in Disneyland, and the
spectacular new Cars Land and Buena Vista Street in
the expanded Disney California Adventure Park. •

Steven Spielberg heads jury at Cannes Film
Festival CANNES, May 15, 2013 -- Once a year,
"the entire world comes together at Cannes." Steven
Spielberg introducing this year's nine-person
Cannes Film Festival jury at the opening press
conference said, "We're always sitting in personal
private judgment of the films we see."
•••
Therefore it was time, to take it public and accept
the film festival's offer to serve as the main
competition jury president, an offer made several
times in the past, though his work schedule never
permitted it,
he said.
•••
Also serving as jurors are actors Nicole Kidman,
Christoph Waltz, Daniel Auteuil, Vidaya Balan and
directors Cristian Mungiu, Naomi Kawasi, Lynn
Ramsey and twice Academy Award Winner Ang Lee. The
jury selects the winners for acting, screenplay,
direction and, honored with the Palme d'Or, the
award given the film of the year. Last year's Palme
winner was Michael Haneke's "Amour."
•••
Spielberg noted that it's apples and oranges to
assess movies designed to get "as many people into
the theaters as possible" by the same criteria as
films compelled by more adventurous impulses.
"Honesty" and "courage": those will be the key
attributes in the competition titles as viewed by
Spielberg's fellow juror, director Cristian Mungiu,
who won the Palme in 2007 for "4 Months, 3 Weeks
and 2 Days."
•••
Spielberg last came to the Croisette in 2008 for
the world premier of "Indiana Jones and the
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Released to
generally positive reviews, it it was also a
financial success, grossing over $786 million
worldwide.
///
CANNES, France-- Palm
D'Or goes to the
French The hometown
favorite won big time at the Festival de Cannes as
France's Blue Is the Warmest Color walked
off with the Palme d'Or. Jury president Steven
Spielberg announced in a highly unusual step, that
the prize was given not only to director Abdellatif
Kechiche, as considered traditional, but to
co-stars Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa
Seydoux as well. Both actresses were in tears by
the time they reached the stage.
••••
The sexually explicit story of a young woman
discovering desire and herself, Blue was the great
favorite of French critics but divided English
speakers, who called it everything from voyeuristic
to the gold standard for lesbian romances to a
three-hour Sundance movie in French.
••••
The film, whose French title is La Vie
d'Adèle, will be distributed in the US
by IFC's Sundance Selects.
••••
Kechiche's movie succeeds by displaying that same
degree of intimacy with his actresses in the scenes
when they have their clothes on. For the younger,
fragile teen at the center of the plot -- also
named Adéle -- blue-haired art student Emma
(Seydoux) provides a gateway to experiences far
beyond the limitations of her conservative social
circle. Some of the tender moments make the
explicit scenes especially noteworthy:
••••
Kechiche's film is a testament to the
possibilities of uncensored storytelling that
ignores traditional boundaries without playing for
shock value. It's a touching romance first, and
undoubtedly one of the best movies about nascent
adulthood in recent years. Not Playing it Safe Spielberg himself makes no apologies
about directing movies aimed at the largest
audiences possible, but as a unit, the Cannes
jurors did a fine job highlighting the merits of
not playing it safe. This was evident not only in
the selection of the winners but the snubs: --
Steven Soderbergh's Liberace biopic "Behind the
Candelabra" won plenty of accolades for Michael
Douglas' performance, but ultimately amounted to a
giddy by-the-numbers treatment of the show-biz icon
-- however, a skillfully made one.

Spring in
Cannes By Josie Cory
A h h h . . . Spring in Cannes…where mild
breezes blow as the warm Mediterranean sun smiles
over this beautiful spot on the Cote d'Azur. There
you can feel a timeless sensuality, assuaging a
nostalgia for the Mediterranean which since as far
back as the 16th century has been a constant theme
in many a Northern European's life.
• • "Now
give us lands where the olives grow," Cried the
North to the South, "Where the sun with a golden
mouth can blow blue bubbles of grapes down the
vineyard row!" Cried the North to the South. (to
borrow a phrase from the English writer Elizabeth
Barret Browning).
• •"Cannes,"
wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable and
erudite historian of maritime Provence, in 1880,
"is a town where you feel no need to work," and
"where the inhabitants were not interested in the
world that lay beyond their shady gardens, or the
sheltered balconies of their hotels."
• • Now the
world has come to Cannes, chosen it to be their
Mediterranean queen for its annual events, and when
you stroll along the Croisette on some warm April
day you will hardly share Mr. Lenteric's
sentiments. Voila! Cannes! It has emerged truly
cosmopolitan. Festival

Comedy Central's "The Daily Show

Supreme Court sides with book
reseller in copyright ruling ••
The Supreme Court gave foreign
buyers of books, video discs and
other copyrighted works a right
to resell them in the United
States, without permission of the
copyright owner, giving discount
retailers a victory and the
entertainment industry a
setback.
•••
The 6-3 decision Tuesday came in
the case of Supap Kirtsaeng, a
USC graduate student from
Thailand who figured he could
earn money for his education by
buying low-cost textbooks in his
native country and reselling them
in the United States.
•••
John Wiley & Sons, a textbook
publisher, sued him over
copyright infringement and won
$600,000 in damages from a New
York jury. Kirtsaeng was ordered
to turn over his golf clubs,
computer and printer as partial
payment.
•••
But in Tuesday's decision, the
Supreme Court found the Thai
student's view of U.S. copyright
law "more persuasive" than the
publishing industry's, and it
threw out the verdict against
him.
•••
In doing so, the justices adopted
a version of ebay's motto: "If
you bought it, you own it, and
you have a right to sell it." •
Judges
had been divided over whether
-- copyright
protection extended to works that
were lawfully made and sold
abroad, but were imported for
resale in the United States. One
part of the law says the U.S.
copyright holder has an
"exclusive right to distribute
copies" in the U.S.
•••••
It is unclear how the movie,
music or video game industries
will be affected by the high
court's decision, as more
entertainment content is sold
digitally.

106- The limits of copyright
law.
-- The Supreme Court has
forcefully declared --
that copyright law does not
extend to
prohibiting
the resale of books bought
overseas.
• March - 2013 was the month
that -- Supap
Kirtsaeng was a Thai student in
the United States who helped
finance his education (and then
some) by reselling textbooks that
family members bought for a low
price in Thailand. Textbook
publisher John Wiley & Sons
sued Kirtsaeng for copyright
infringement in 2008, citing a
federal ban on importing
copyrighted goods without the
copyright holder's permission.
Lower courts agreed with Wiley,
opining that the "first sale"
doctrine -- a buyer's right to
sell, lend, rent or give away a
lawfully purchased copy of a
copyrighted work. •
But
that did not apply to
foreign-made products -- even if they'd been
manufactured under contract with
the copyright holder. •
On
Tuesday, the Supreme Court
overturned -- those decisions in a forceful
declaration of the limits of
copyright law.
•••
The justices ruled, 6 to 3, that
the first-sale doctrine applies
no matter where a copy is made,
as long as it's done in
accordance with U.S. law. The
decision in Kirtsaeng vs. John
Wiley & Sons provides a
welcome clarification that
Americans are free to
redistribute the copies they own
that were legally made and sold
overseas, just as they are with
the copies they buy in the United
States. •

The book itself looks beyond
the glossy appeals. •••
As
tax deadline looms, ex-NPR chief
Ken Stern looks at how little
donors understand about the needs
and the operations of even the
most prominent charities 'With
Charity for All' looks beyond the
glossy appeals.
•••
Americans just love feeling
philanthropic. In any debate over
cutting tax breaks in the income
tax system, the deduction for
charitable donations is always
held sacred -- even more than
that other sacred cow, the
mortgage deduction.
•••
It's a rare political leader who
doesn't bow to the role played by
charitable foundations in filling
gaps left by government services
to the indigent, the sick and the
elderly, here in the United
States and around the globe. The
globe-trotting, tent-dwelling
relief worker, the doctor without
borders, the logistics expert
getting food and medicine to
camps of war refugees -- all
elicit unique reverence from us
armchair empathizers in civilized
lands.
•••
So why, asks Ken Stern in his new
book, "With Charity for All," do
we spend so little time thinking
about the charities we give our
billions to? • Stern is a veteran of
the nonprofit world -- having spent nine years
running National Public Radio,
the nonprofit organization with
which most of us are more
familiar than any other. Thanks
to his experience and a wealth of
further research, "With Charity
for All" makes many important
points about how little we
understand about the needs and
the operations of even the most
prominent global philanthropies.
The book opens with a telling
anecdote about the American Red
Cross and its response to the
disaster of 9/11.
