La mejor serie asegura 3era temporada

Exclusive! Brothers & Sisters Gets Supersize Season Three, Surprising Twist

Season three is a go! That's what we've been told, but sources on the set of ABC's addictive drama Brothers & Sisters have even better news: The series pickup for the 2008-09 TV season is for—drumroll, please—27 episodes. Yes, five extra whole hours of the best dang family around, the Walkers.

Oh, and speaking of that holy "W" moniker, I have a little inside intel on the upcoming storyline that will rock your world (at least it did mine!) when the show returns April 20. But before you read, heed this SPOILER ALERT! And don't read any further if you don't want to know...

From what I hear, producers are most definitely steaming up some kind of love connection between Rebecca "Walker" and Justin "Walker"...So clearly, one of those two gorgeous kids pictured above is actually not biologically linked to William or Nora. And even better? You don't have to wait very long to find out. I'm told the bio line is answered definitively in one of the first three episodes back—and the chemistry can't be missed. All together now: Gaaaaah!

From everything else I hear, there will be lots of good juice when B&S returns this season for all the Walkers, including a deep love affair for Nora (yay!), wedding bells for another Walker and a reappearance of William Walker in episode 16.

Premio Pritzker de Arquitectura 2008


El Premio Pritzker de arquitectura es un reconocimiento dado anualmente por la fundación estadounidense Hyatt. Creado el 1979 por Jay A. Pritzker e impulsado por su familia, se entrega anualmente a un arquitecto en vida de cualquier país, que haya mostrado a través de sus proyectos y obras las diferentes facetas de su talento como arquitecto y haya contribuido con ellas al enriquecimiento de la humanidad.

Este año fué entregado a Jean Nouvel (12 de agosto de 1945), arquitecto y diseñador frances. Nació en Fumel, Francia y estudió arquitectura y diseño en la escuela de Bellas Artes de París.

Nouvel ha ganado numerosos premios de arquitectura y diseño, y ha recibido varias distinciones por su trabajo. En 1980 se le concede la Medalla de Plata de la Académie d´Architecture. En 1983 fue nombrado doctor honoris causa por la Universidad de Buenos Aires. En 1987 recibió el "Grand Prix d'Architecture" por el conjunto de su obra y la "Equerre d'Argent" por sus diseños minimalistas de muebles. Su obra ha sido expuesta en diferentes museo internacionales como el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, el Museo de Arte Moderno Exposeum o el Centro de Arte y de Cultura Pompidou de París. En el año 2005 recibió el Premio de la Fundación Wolf de las Artes de Jerusalén.

Una de sus obras arquitectónicas más conocidas es el Instituto del Mundo Árabe, en París. El edificio alberga una importante colección de objetos y escritos del mundo árabe. Las fachadas diseñadas por Nouvel constan de elementos cuadrados, construidos en metal y vidrio. En el centro de cada cuadrado se encuentra un diafragma que se abre y cierra automáticamente según la intensidad de la luz natural del exterior. Con ello Nouvel consigue mantener la iluminación interior en un nivel prácticamente constante. Al mismo tiempo se proyectan hacia el interior las formas de estos diafragmas, que recuerdan ornamentos árabes, y que confieren a los espacios interiores un ambiente de gran originalidad.

Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows en dos partes

From TLC:
Big News everyone! The L.A Times is reporting an exclusive today: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be made in two films, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" , and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. Furthermore, the paper cites producer David Heyman confirming the return of David Yates as director for both films, with Steven Kloves to finish out his duties as screenwriter for both Harry Potter movies as well. The movies are to be filmed at the same time, and will be released several months apart, with Part One due November 2010, and Part Two, May 2011.

The article has additional information now, with quotes from producer David Heyman on his conversation with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling on splitting the book into two films. "Heyman said he approached Rowling with some trepidation about the strategy but found that she signed off on its logic rather quickly. "I went to Jo and she was cool with it," Heyman said, "and that was quite a relief."

The newspaper continues saying "Producer David Heyman said the decision was made with some anxiety and only after considerable deliberations. The producer joked that "while my wife and Warner Brothers were pleased" to hear that the Potter movie magic will continue into the next decade, he himself fretted that the cynical observers would see the decision as a purely mercenary move."I swear to you it was born out of purely creative reasons," Heyman said during an interview in a converted airplane factory outside London that has been home base to all of the "Potter" productions. "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book. You can remove scenes of Ron playing quidditch from the fifth book, and you can remove Hermione and S.P.E.W. [Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare] and those subplots . . . but with the seventh, that can't be done."

Actor Dan Radcliffe who portrays Harry Potter in the film is quoted as saying "I think it's the only way you can do it without cutting out a huge portion of the book," Radcliffe said recently during a break on the set of "Half-Blood Prince," the sixth "Potter" film, which is due in theaters on Nov. 21. "There have been compartmentalized subplots in the other books that have made them easier to cut - although those cuts were still to the horror of some fans- but the seventh book doesn't really have any subplots. It's one driving, pounding story from the word go."

Of interest to many fans is the spot in the book where the films will break, and producer David Heyman addresses this as he notes: "The question will be, where do you break it? And how do you make them one but two separate and distinct stories? Do you break it with a moment of suspense or one of resolution? These are the interesting challenges. But each book has presented its challenges."

Warner Bros. Chairman Alan Horn and Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, are expected to discuss the new plans for "Potter" on Thursday during a presentation at ShoWest, the convention of movie exhibitors in Las Vegas.
