MARS ATTACKS! A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1996 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
"It is an awesome sight. The Martian spacecraft hovering in the Nevada desert like a giant hubcap," reports breathless and brainless TV talk show host Nathalie Lake (Sarah Jessica Parker).
Yes, Tim Burton (ED WOOD, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS and BATMAN) is back, and this time he turns his considerable creative talent to a spoof called MARS ATTACKS!. He tries to make a parody of a science fiction movie, but instead comes up with a film that plays more as a parody of a parody. The picture is laced with sag gags from end to end, but most manage to fall as flat as the spoken humor from screenwriter Jonathan Gems. Like a well-constructed bad painting, there is much to admire in the film, but the net effect leaves you dispassionate.
The movie, which has some similarities to the vastly superior INDEPENDENCE DAY, has the president as the central character. Jack Nicholson plays President Dale as well as hard drinking, Las Vegas developer Art Land. Actually, Jack Nicholson plays Jack Nicholson doing his usual shtick.
Like the president in INDEPENDENCE DAY, President Dale has his big speech to the nation when the aliens, in his case Martians, are spotted. In a singularly trite address, he proclaims to his people, "It is profoundly moving to know there is intelligent life out there."
Accomplished costume designer Colleen Atwood (LITTLE WOMEN, THAT THING YOU DO!, and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS) designed the costumes for MARS ATTACKS!. She uses badly contrasting pastel colors to make the already ditzy cast seem even more so. Parker plays a role reminiscent of her kid's TV show part in THE SUBSTANCE OF FIRE. Here, her clothes are even more outlandish. The sets by Wynn Thomas are a panoply of bad taste. Parker's character, for example, sets in egg shaped black and white checkered chairs while doing her interviews. The chair's contrast with her clothes will probably short circuit a few picture tubes when the movies goes to video.
Lukas Haas as Richie Norris is the only sincere character in the movie. He also gets the best line. When the Martians land, everyone assumes that they are friendly. After the Martian Ambassador makes a circular motion, Richie says, "Wow, he made the international sign of the donut."
Most characters in the film do little set pieces having only tangential relation to the rest of the story. Annette Bening plays a rich new ager named Barbara Land. As the Martians disembark for the first time, she sets lotus position on top of her Mercedes convertible while holding a Crystal pyramid.
Martin Short is presidential press secretary Jerry Ross. After the Martians slaughter hundreds of army soldiers and innocent civilians, he wants the president to hold a town meeting to get America's opinion before making a decision on how to respond.
As shown in the trailers, the Martians vaporize the entire congress. Not unpleased, the President says, "I want the people to know that they still have two out of three branches of government and that ain't bad."
This is one of those Hollywood casts of thousands movies. Everyone who is anyone gets a part. Even Tom Jones, playing himself of course, comes to the rescue. For the record, the movie also has Glenn Close, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, Michael J. Fox, Rod Steiger, Natalie Portman, Jim Brown, Lisa Marie, Sylvia Sidney, Christina Applegate, Joe Don Baker, Pam Grier, and Paul Winfield. See what I mean.
I am not against using large numbers of stars in a picture. Earlier that day I saw the new and absolutely marvelous four hour Hamlet. In it Kenneth Branagh uses a large cast of acting's luminaries to great effect.
MARS ATTACK! is a violent film. Most of it is semi-cartoonish with hundreds of people vaporized with their skin being eaten away until only a red or green skeleton is left. Why some end up red and others blue is the story's chief conundrum. In a scene lifted straight out of an R rated horror movie, one character's finger is realistically eaten and then the bloody stump is thrown in a fish bowl. The camera moves in for a close-up to make sure we see it.
Taken as a film for adults, the violence is not a problem, but considering this film is rated PG-13, there will be many frightened grade-schoolers. It certainly frightened my son badly, and I have not seen him scared at a movie in over a year. As a son of movie critic, he sees many films. He has been to the theater 26 times this year, but none of them affected him as this one did.
I did enjoy portions of MARS ATTACKS!, but its whole is less than the some of the few good parts. At least it has a totally unpredictable ending. Even an experience alien fighter will not be able to figure out the Achilles' heel of these Martians.
MARS ATTACKS! runs 1:42. It is rated PG-13. There is no nudity, but there is brief sex, some profanity, and lots of violence. My son Jeffrey, age 7 1/2, gives it a "thumbs 55 percent down and 45 percent up." My ever affable son, tends to like every movie, but not this one. He said the film is "for kids 7 1/2 and up because I really was scared, and I get scared easier than most kids my age." I think the film is for kids 9 or 10 and up. I can not recommend it, but I do give it **.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

Specific time specification.
A Specific interval is more complex, but defines a certain time to run and
the days that it should run. It has the following attributes:
time - the time of day to run, as 'HH:MM'
ordinals - first, second, third &c, as a set of integers in 1..5
months - the months that this should run, as a set of integers in 1..12
weekdays - the days of the week that this should run, as a set of integers,
0=Sunday, 6=Saturday
timezone - the optional timezone as a string for this specification.
Defaults to UTC - valid entries are things like Australia/Victoria
or PST8PDT.
A specific time schedule can be quite complex. A schedule could look like
this:
'1st,third sat,sun of jan,feb,mar 09:15'
In this case, ordinals would be {1,3}, weekdays {0,6}, months {1,2,3} and
time would be '09:15'.

Sakurai On Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Becoming Best-Selling Fighting Game of All Time
His thoughts on Terry's inclusion, plus more
by Robert SephazonThe latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has been released, and once again we are treated to a column written by Masahiro Sakurai. This is a summary of the column, as translated by Nintendo Life.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has exceeded the lifetime sales of Street Fighter II to become the best-selling fighting game of all time.
- In Japan, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is classified as a Battle-Action game rather than a Fighting game.
- With so many variations of Street Fighter II having been released on so many different platforms, a decision has to be made on what makes a title unique under the same name. (Is Street Fighter II Turbo and Super Street Fighter II both considered the same Street Fighter II?)
- Sakurai adds that despite Super Smash Bros. Ultimate exceeding its sales, he feels Street Fighter II will continue to be the king of fighting games.
- The recent DLC fighter, Terry, has a playstyle like that of a classic fighting game, such as a command input. His inclusion makes for a fun and exciting eSports game.
- Even though Super Smash Bros. Ultimate can be a challenging game, particularly online, it's still fun for fans of any age.
- Super Smash Bros. is a series based on the idea of a fighting game. A fighting game with many tactics is interesting once you get the hang of it. To keep from being stale, Super Smash Bros. is designed closer as a party game.
- Super Smash Bros. is a paradox of a game, but Sakurai is happy to see it top the fighting genre. Although he had always planned for it, it's not his achievement alone. As always, thank you for supporting Super Smash Bros. and Sakurai will continue to work hard.
What do you think of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate becoming the best selling Fighting game of all time? Who do you think the next DLC fighter will be? Let us know in the comments below!

This hearty soup gets its flavour from ham hock. It’s traditionally eaten on Thursdays, with Finnish pancakes for dessert!
Put the split peas in a bowl with the bicarbonate of soda. Cover with cold water and leave to soak overnight.
Put the ham hock in a large saucepan, cover it with 1½-2 litres/2½-3½ pints cold water and bring to the boil. As soon as it has reached boiling point remove from the heat. Drain, wash the ham hock and the pan to get rid of any starchy foam.
Put the ham back in the pan and cover with water again. Add the whole onion studded with cloves, mace and bay leaves to the pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 1 hour.
Rinse the split peas and put in a saucepan, bring to the boil and boil for 10 minutes. Drain the peas and add to the ham hock pan along with the diced onion and carrot. Simmer until the peas are tender, this should take between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Top up with more water if needed.
Remove the ham hock, whole onion, bay and mace. Break up the ham hock, discarding the skin and bone and pull the meat into pieces.
Add the mustard to the soup and season with salt and pepper. Use a stick blender to blend to a rough purée, add the ham hock meat back into the soup and warm through.
Lightly whip the cream if using and fold gently into the soup. Serve with chunky bread.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS (2000) * Directed by Dominic Sena. Written by Scott Rosenberg. Photography, Paul Cameron. Editing, Tom Muldoon and Chris Lebenzon.. Production design, Jeff Mann. Music, Trevor Rabin. Cast: Nicolas Cage (Memphis Raines), Giovanni Ribisi (Kip Raines), Angelina Jolie (Sara Wayland), TJ Cross (Mirror Man), William Lee Scott (Toby), Scott Caan (Tumbler), James Duval (Freb), Will Patton (Atley Jackson), Delroy Lindo (Detective Roland Castlebeck), Robert Duvall (Otto Halliwell), Christopher Eccleston (Raymond Calitri), Chi McBride (Donny Astricky), Timothy Olyphant (Detective Drycoff), Grace Zabriskie (Helen Raines), Master P (Johnny B.), et al. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Mike Stenson. Released by Touchstone Pictures. 119 minutes. PG-13.
Master car thief Memphis (Nicolas Cage) quit the racket some years ago because he did not want his impressionable junior brother Kip to follow in his footsteps (or tire tracks). He is now an honest gas station owner (I think) who teaches kids how to race go-karts. But he comes out of retirement when Kip (who, alas, did join the underworld), is about to be punished by getting compacted within a car at a junk yard. The yard (and more) belongs to master thug Calitri (a British import). He is Kip's boss and a caricature of demented villainy, Calitri about to punish Kip with extreme prejudice for non-performance of heist duties. He can only be saved if senior brother Memphis can steal, pronto, 50 classic cars to be shipped abroad.
It's a race against time, with clocks, watches and the countdown regularly printed on the screen. Memphis, in record time, assembles a regiment of "colorful" gang members, most of them from his old organization, many of them having gone straight (it's like an epidemic), some of them new faces. And the big heist is on: the gathering of the tribes, the planning, the introduction of an able cop who will play Nemesis, the complication presented by other thieves, the actual execution of the project.
It's all miserably, poorly, incoherently strung together. The characters as well as the cars are interchangeable. Nothing is elaborated, or at least explained. Heist movies have an educational, how-to-do-it function, but here not a single instructional detail is delved upon or even vaguely illustrated. The car chases are generic, lacking specificity, and interchangeable. If the projectionist were to mix his or her reels it would make no difference, cause no problems.
This incoherence contributes a great deal to the film's total lack of interest, suspense or even sub-suspense.
Is all this dull? Yes, but the noise can keep you awake and especially --in some cases-- your curiosity to see if a car that your daddy or your pal Jake's granddaddy once owned (for we're talking here about a pre- and low--teens audience, the only one possible) is among the "classic" vehicles on the screen.
The film is a sort of remake of the 1974 "Gone in 60 Seconds," the first (of two or three movies) made by H.B. Halicki. That was a movie of chases and crashes shown in drive-ins and said to have become a sort of cult-film in some circles. Halicki produced, wrote, directed, starred, did stunts and everything else in his movie. (Does this make him an "auteur"?) He died (1989) in a stunt accident while filming the sequel "Gone in 60 Seconds 2." His widow's name appears in the end-credits of the remake, as one of the executive producers.
The cast of the current flick is as dull as any, including Angelina Jolie who plays (?) the "de rigueur" one gal in the otherwise all-male/macho gang. He role is (to quote someone else's film) "Less than Zero." Her main function is to pout thick lips and to slow down the action.
The director comes from TV commercials (if you haven't guessed this already) with one feature to his credit, the actioneer "Kalifornia," (1993) which, I am told, has a certain following.
"Gone" is a Jerry Bruckheimer production. JB has a record of spectacular money-makers, most of them summertime action flicks. Among his latest: "Crimson Tide" (1995), "The Rock" (1996), "Con Air" (1997), Enemy of the State (1998), "Armageddon" (1999).
Other Bruckheimers coming in the summer of 2000 "Coyote Ugly" and "Remember the Titans." Caveat emptor.

Builder¶
Class used for the registering and application of rules for specific widgets.

class
kivy.lang.builder.
Observable
¶ ベースクラス:
kivy.event.ObjectWithUid
Observable
is a stub class defining the methods required for binding.EventDispatcher
is (the) one example of a class that implements the binding interface. SeeEventDispatcher
for details.バージョン 1.9.0 で追加.
-
fbind
()¶ See
EventDispatcher.fbind()
.注釈
To keep backward compatibility with derived classes which may have inherited from
Observable
before, thefbind()
method was added. The default implementation offbind()
is to create a partial function that it passes to bind while saving the uid and largs/kwargs. However,funbind()
(andunbind_uid()
) are fairly inefficient since we have to first lookup this partial function using the largs/kwargs or uid and then callunbind()
on the returned function. It is recommended to overwrite these methods in derived classes to bind directly for better performance.Similarly to
EventDispatcher.fbind()
, this method returns 0 on failure and a positive unique uid on success. This uid can be used withunbind_uid()
.

kivy.lang.builder.
Builder
= <kivy.lang.builder.BuilderBase object at 0x05EC2A50>¶ Main instance of a
BuilderBase
.
-
class
kivy.lang.builder.
BuilderBase
[ソース]¶ ベースクラス:
builtins.object
The Builder is responsible for creating a
Parser
for parsing a kv file, merging the results into its internal rules, templates, etc.By default,
Builder
is a global Kivy instance used in widgets that you can use to load other kv files in addition to the default ones.-
apply
(widget, ignored_consts=set())[ソース]¶ Search all the rules that match the widget and apply them.
ignored_consts is a set or list type whose elements are property names for which constant KV rules (i.e. those that don’t create bindings) of that widget will not be applied. This allows e.g. skipping constant rules that overwrite a value initialized in python.
-
apply_rules
(widget, rule_name, ignored_consts=set())[ソース]¶ Search all the rules that match rule_name widget and apply them to widget.
バージョン 1.10.0 で追加.
ignored_consts is a set or list type whose elements are property names for which constant KV rules (i.e. those that don’t create bindings) of that widget will not be applied. This allows e.g. skipping constant rules that overwrite a value initialized in python.
-
load_file
(filename, **kwargs)[ソース]¶ Insert a file into the language builder and return the root widget (if defined) of the kv file.
Parameters: - rulesonly: bool, defaults to False
If True, the Builder will raise an exception if you have a root widget inside the definition.
-
load_string
(string, **kwargs)[ソース]¶ Insert a string into the Language Builder and return the root widget (if defined) of the kv string.
Parameters: - rulesonly: bool, defaults to False
If True, the Builder will raise an exception if you have a root widget inside the definition.
-
sync
()[ソース]¶ Execute all the waiting operations, such as the execution of all the expressions related to the canvas.
バージョン 1.7.0 で追加.
-
template
(*args, **ctx)[ソース]¶ Create a specialized template using a specific context.
バージョン 1.0.5 で追加.
With templates, you can construct custom widgets from a kv lang definition by giving them a context. Check Template usage.
-
unbind_property
(widget, name)[ソース]¶ Unbind the handlers created by all the rules of the widget that set the name.
This effectively clears all the rules of widget that take the form:
name: rule
For example:
>>> w = Builder.load_string(''' ... Widget: ... height: self.width / 2. if self.disabled else self.width ... x: self.y + 50 ... ''') >>> w.size [100, 100] >>> w.pos [50, 0] >>> w.width = 500 >>> w.size [500, 500] >>> Builder.unbind_property(w, 'height') >>> w.width = 222 >>> w.size [222, 500] >>> w.y = 500 >>> w.pos [550, 500]
バージョン 1.9.1 で追加.
-
unbind_widget
(uid)[ソース]¶ Unbind all the handlers created by the KV rules of the widget. The
kivy.uix.widget.Widget.uid
is passed here instead of the widget itself, because Builder is using it in the widget destructor.This effectively clears all the KV rules associated with this widget. For example:
>>> w = Builder.load_string(''' ... Widget: ... height: self.width / 2. if self.disabled else self.width ... x: self.y + 50 ... ''') >>> w.size [100, 100] >>> w.pos [50, 0] >>> w.width = 500 >>> w.size [500, 500] >>> Builder.unbind_widget(w.uid) >>> w.width = 222 >>> w.y = 500 >>> w.size [222, 500] >>> w.pos [50, 500]
バージョン 1.7.2 で追加.
-
-
exception
kivy.lang.builder.
BuilderException
(context, line, message, cause=None)[ソース]¶ ベースクラス:
kivy.lang.parser.ParserException
Exception raised when the Builder failed to apply a rule on a widget.

Hausdorff distances.
Classes Hausdorff, HausdorffDegrees, HausdorffRadians, HausdorffCosineAndoyerLambert, HausdorffCosineForsytheAndoyerLambert, HausdorffCosineLaw, HausdorffDistanceTo, HausdorffEquirectangular, HausdorffEuclidean, HausdorffFlatLocal, HausdorffFlatPolar, HausdorffHaversine, HausdorffHubeny, HausdorffKarney, HausdorffThomas and HausdorffVincentys to compute Hausdorff distances between two sets of
LatLon
, NumPy
, tuples
or other
types of points.
Only HausdorffDistanceTo -iff used with ellipsoidalKarney.LatLon points- and HausdorffKarney requires installation of Charles Karney's geographiclib.
Typical usage is as follows. First, create a Hausdorff
calculator from a given set of LatLon
points, called the
model
or template
points.
h = HausdorffXyz(point1s, ...)
Get the directed
or symmetric
Hausdorff
distance to a second set of LatLon
points, named the
target
points, by using
t6 = h.directed(point2s)
respectively
t6 = h.symmetric(point2s)
.
Or, use function hausdorff_
with a proper
distance
function and optionally a point
function passed as keyword arguments as follows
t6 = hausdorff_(point1s, point2s, ..., distance=...,
point=...)
.
In all cases, the returned result t6
is a Hausdorff6Tuple.
For (lat, lon, ...)
points in a NumPy
array
or plain tuples
, wrap the points in a Numpy2LatLon respectively Tuple2LatLon instance, more details in the documentation
thereof.
For other points, create a Hausdorff sub-class with the appropriate
distance
method overloading Hausdorff.distance and optionally a point
method overriding Hausdorff.point as the next example.
>>> from pygeodesy import Hausdorff, hypot_ >>> >>> class H3D(Hausdorff): >>> """Custom Hausdorff example. >>> """ >>> def distance(self, p1, p2): >>> return hypot_(p1.x - p2.x, p1.y - p2.y, p1.z - p2.z) >>> >>> h3D = H3D(xyz1, ..., units="...") >>> d6 = h3D.directed(xyz2)

'Unfortunately we lost him this morning' - shock after amaXhosa king dies
by Jenni EvansThe Eastern Cape health department says more details on the death of amaXhosa king Mpendulo Zwelonke Sigcawu will be released, but only after the necessary protocols were followed.
The king was admitted to the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in Mthatha on Wednesday night for treatment.
"Unfortunately, we lost him this morning," said department spokesperson Sizwe Kupelo.
He added protocol dictated that further details would not be released yet but could be forthcoming in a later statement.
"He was not an ordinary person," said Kupelo of the monarch who was 51.
Sigcawu was the 12th king of the amaXhosa and was born at the Nqadu Great Palace in Willowvale, the Eastern Cape.
He was crowned in 2015 following delays due to disputes over succession.

Sigcawu showed he was staunchly protective of cultural rites when he was among the people demanding that the film Inxeba, which dealt with initiation, not be screened.
He threw his weight behind President Cyril Ramaphosa after he was elected leader of the ANC, but also used the royal visit as an opportunity to lobby for the release of Abathembu king Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo.
Sigcawu came under fire for comments relating to whether he thought a woman could take on the role of president, with his spokesperson saying he was misunderstood when he talked about Ramaphosa's competitor, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
The king's uncle had to clarify that he was not referring to Dlamini-Zuma specifically, but felt he should be told if the country might get a female president, according to news reports at the time.
As news of the king's death spread, the Amathole District Municipality said its acting mayor would lead a delegation to visit the kingdom to pay homage.
