(GHABASH)
RFC FILMMAKERS CLUB
BACKGROUND:
The Royal Film Commission was established in July 2003 with a mandate to develop and promote an internationally competitive Jordanian audio-visual industry through the advancement of human, technical and financial capacity in addition to providing comprehensive production support services to local, regional and international productions. The Royal Film Commission is a financially and administratively autonomous Jordanian government body led by a board of Commissioners chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein. The RFC believes that filmmaking is a form of creative expression that transcends borders promoting cross-cultural understanding through the sharing of stories, thoughts and ideas. The RFC is the first Middle Eastern member of the Association of Film Commissioners International.
The capacity building department in the RFC aims at empowering young men and woman from Jordan and the region to tell their stories using film as a medium, through providing them with opportunities of training and hands on experience.

We are Men These are Our Rules.....!!!
Guys' Rules
I recieved it via E-mail:
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear " the rules " From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem.
See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like Soap Opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say
during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and
neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to,
Expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as sports, cars, or sex.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

The Grandizer Effect.....!!!
this is for all the 70's & 80's kids who lived day after day with cartoons.... real cartoons.....!!!
about grandizer....!!!
there were somethings that kept me thinking but after I saw the whole series again it made me wonder why no one said anything about it.......!!!
come to think of it:
the Duke of fleet (Daisuki) is a mixed breed of a Jewish-Native Indian-Hippi.....!!!
Gandal (the guy who had a female midget inside his face) is what we call a futeristic bisexual fag
why with all the technologies the Fleet people had while doing the Grandizer how come they forgot to include a safety seat belt, and why are the buttons on the board lacked instructions or labels for that matter.....!!!
that reminds me, the fucking buttens remind me of beneton every four buttons are alligned together with similar colors....!!!
why Dampi (Hikaro's father the UFO's fan) had a cat's mostache....!!!
why did they like wearing spandix, every one from the aliens to even the humans wore spandix.......!!!
why do Koji Kabotu (Mazinger Z) and Diasuki always wear watches with thier uniforms....!!!
the alien troopers look like the KKK on sperms.....!!!
and don't Grandizer look like a Knight wearing an adult diper.....!!!
and where is this tunnel is exactly located in the G unit that connects the grandizer control room with the flying saucer's control room....!!!
and why did he needed to spin each time before entering or exiting the rooms.....!!!
why Dr. Amon had a different mostashe in each episode.....!!!
why do Dambi and his family travel always in horses and carieges while the rest of the planet is driving futeristc transport mobiles, and why are they cowboy-esque even though they are living in Japan, eating Japanese food, having Japanese names.....!!!
why in each episode they sacrifice Koji's UFO in a suicidal head on fight with a whole fleet with only a few rockets (not even a seeking mesiles-short corny looking) and after kicking the bejesus out of his ass, the Duke comes to the rescue......!!!
why do he always choose the trash hole instead of the door....!!!
why UFO's explode and evaporite in the air without a trace....!!!
the funniest names are always reserved for the aliens mandroids: DOM DOM the chains and machine gun pink monster that had a vacium as a weapon....!!!
JERO JERO the solar energy droid who need to absorb sun rays to generate his pulsars.....!!!
and why the doubling....!!!
I stop here with this final thought.....!!!
grandizer sucks now that we are adults, but not as much as Kabamaru the ninja.....!!!which I'll talk about him later......!!!
p.s. I don't know why the hell can't I upload any picture.....!!!
I'll post them later....!!!

who wants Girgi'an.....?!?!
I don't know why, but I feel the urge to go Garge'ing (اقرقع) today......!!!I will pass by the same houses that I used to pick my share of the candies from.....!!!
so if you're living in Nuzha don't be frieghtened if a 27 year old "kid" shouts "Salam waladhom yalla khalhalomma yallah".....!!!
the Picture was taken by the gifted Nescafe
care to join me.....?!?!
I might take some pictures and maybe post them even.....!!!
الوطن..... مراهقة متأخرة.....!!!
طالعتنا صحيفة الوطن يوم الجمعة (6-10-2006) بتحفة فنية موضوعية من اعلى عيار......!!!"حط حيلهم بينهم" بقلم خليل خلف....
طبعا اتقبل مثل هذا الكلام عندما يصدر في ديوانيه، بين الاصحاب او حتى في الشاليه..... و لكن عندما تحتضنه صحيفة كويتية في وقت نعتز و نفاخر فيه بقدسية نزاهة صحافتنا و موضوعيتهم الاحترافية" أمام اترابنا العرب فهذا موضوع آخر.......!!!
و ما زاد الطين بلة ان تقوم "الوطن" و بكل سلاطة ان تصفع كل من يطالع الصحيفة من الصفحة الاولى و بالبنط العريض.....!!! تحليل و عرض للفساد الاداري و علاقة الفلسطينيين بحركتي حماس و فتح و المشاكل و الخلافات.... كل هذا لا خلاف عليه، لكن أن يحضن كل ذلك بكلام مراهقين: ".... و تضارب الاخوة و صوبت الحراب باتجاه بعضهم البعض، و العدو الإسرائيلي يتفرج و حط حيلهم بينهم، و هذا جزاء من ضحك على معاناة الكويتيين في الغزو العراقي و نكأ بجراحهم..." ثم يزيد بالجيلة و يقول في تكملة ما سطره على الصفحة 31 : "... و هم في ذلك كما تآمروا على الكويت أيام الغزو العراقي و لعبوا وفق المصلحة الشخصية متنكرين لكل المباديء و القيم... فأتتهم اللعنة من حيث لم يحتسبوا، و حلت عليهم حوبة الكويتيين، فأصبحوا فخارا يكسر بعضه."
اين الموضوعية، اين الامانة الصحفية، هل هذا خبر أو تحليل او رأي شخصي، ثم هل يستحق مثل هذا الموضوع و بهذا الطرح أن يعرض على الصفحة الأولى.................؟!؟! هذا كلام يهال صغار لا يستحق ان يعرض على الصفحة الاولى، دعك من ما قد يقوله الفلسطينيون تجاه ما ورد و دعك منهم، التفتوا لنا للحظة، تحليل سياسي للوضع الفلسطيني تشوبه العصبية و التحيز.....؟!؟! من متى صارت......!!!

who wants 3arayes.....?!?!
how many copies should I prepare of the short version of 3arayes (I'm working on the extended/director's cut& DVD).....?!?!
I will distribute the copies in the next bloggers meeting.....!!!
Will (I'm doing my best to do the subs)......!!!
that reminded me....
we had a screening on the 16th of sept. on the RFC, which was great since we finally got to see the reactions of others, the crowd was overwhelming, and alot of directors came to see the works.....!!!
we were the last team to show thier movie, which gave us a good chance to observe the audience, and the fact our movie was the only comedy film among them, the rest are experimental movies that mainly talk about terrorism, palistine and islam, with the exception of Yarmok uni's film "a wormer shade of grey"........!!!
the reaction of the people was amazing, and in the end we were cheered for, and coplemented us on the work, and that made me feel like an icy shower that refreshs you...!!!
all the efforts and work is not in vien..... and the appreciation alone was enough for us ......!!!
I'll post something about it soon.....!!!
