The surviving members of Soundgarden have filed a counter-lawsuit

По сообщению Rolling Stone, музыканты SOUNDGARDEN выдвинули встречный иск против вдовы Криса Корнелла, Vicky Cornell, обвиняя её в том, что она использовала доходы от трибьют-концерта в январе 2019 года на свои нужды.

В ответном иске, который был подан в окружной суд Южного округа Флориды, Майами, в среду (6 мая), утверждается, что в конце 2018 года Vicky Cornell потребовала, чтобы Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron и Ben Shepherd согласились выступить на концерте "I Am The Highway: A Tribute To Chris Cornell" 16 января 2019 года в Лос-Анджелесе без компенсации. «Чтобы побудить SOUNDGARDEN согласиться на эту просьбу, Vicky Cornell заявила, что доходы от Cornell Concert будут использованы в благотворительных целях», — говорится в жалобе.

Thayil, Cameron и Shepherd утверждают, что «заявление Vicky Cornell было ложным в том смысле, что Vicky Cornell не имела намерения использовать часть или всю выручку от Cornell Concert в благотворительных целях, а скорее — в личных целях для себя и своей семьи. SOUNDGARDEN сообщают, считают и в связи с этим утверждают, что Vicky Cornell заранее знала о том, что заявление было ложным, либо она проявила небрежность или безрассудство в отношении его правдивости с целью и с намерением склонить SOUNDGARDEN к согласию выступить на Cornell Concert без компенсации», — говорится в ответном иске.

Согласно иску, «представление Vicky Cornell было существенным для SOUNDGARDEN в том смысле, что участники SOUNDGARDEN не были заинтересованы в том, чтобы выступить без компенсации на концерте, который принёс бы финансовую выгоду Vicky Cornell и её семье. SOUNDGARDEN полагалась на свою веру в то, что доходы от этого концерта будут использованы в благотворительных целях, когда принимали решение согласиться выступить на Cornell Concert без компенсации. Как прямой и непосредственный результат нарушения правил игры Vicky Cornell, участники SOUNDGARDEN понесли ущерб в результате искажения фактов, допущенных Vicky Cornell, включая потерю разумной компенсации за Cornell Concer и репутационный ущерб».

В ответном иске добавляется, что «все получатели дохода с Cornell Concert не были идентифицированы, а компания Vicky Cornell не смогла адекватно ответить на официальные и неофициальные запросы следователей о том, как эти доходы были использованы и израсходованы. В заявлении в поддержку ее несогласия с ходатайством о прекращении дела Vicky Cornell утверждает, что 643 000 долларов дохода от концерта были пожертвованы в Фонд медицинских исследований эпидермолиза Bullosa Medial Research Foundation. Но контрагенты не установили местонахождения и возможности распоряжения оставшимися доходами. Контрагенты до сих пор отказывались отвечать на запросы, связанные с Cornell Concert, в том числе не предоставили ответы на вопросы по существу и не задокументировали материалы в ответ на обнаружение SOUNDGARDEN в этом деле, связанном с Cornell Foundation и Cornell Concert. Более того, незадолго до подачи этой заявки, когда Cornell Foundation выпустил Форму 990 2018 года (почти год спустя), Cornell Foundation не публиковал никакой информации, подробно описывающей его финансовое положение, начиная с 2017 года. Наконец, на момент подачи данных встречных исков веб-сайт Cornell Foundation, судя по всему, не обновлялся с 2017 года. Требуется тщательный учёт, поскольку Vicky Cornell пообещала SOUNDGARDEN, что никакая часть доходов, полученных от Cornell Concert, не будет использована ни в каких иных целях, кроме благотворительных, как повод для побуждения SOUNDGARDEN к участию в Cornell Concert». #Soundgarden #AlternativeRock #Alternative_Rock #GrungeRock #Grunge_Rock

Вдова Криса Корнелла ответила на контриск со стороны бывших коллег её мужа словами своего адвоката Marty Singer'a:

«Очень жаль, что три бывших участника группы Криса Корнелла, заработавшие миллионы долларов на упорном труде, таланте и творчестве Криса, продолжают нападать на наследие Криса, его вдову и маленьких детей, делая непристойные, злобные и агрессивные обвинения, чтобы отвлечься от правды. Их откровенно отчаянные встречные претензии, которые были намеренно поданы незадолго до годовщины смерти Криса и годовщины свадьбы Криса и Вики, не меняют того факта, что именно они неправомерно утверждали, что являются владельцами записей, которые были созданы исключительно Крисом, и что именно они незаконно удерживали значительные суммы денег у вдовы и детей Криса (что является основанием для нынешнего судебного процесса).

Достаточно сказать, что Вики Корнелл и Cornell Estate яростно отрицают предполагаемые "факты", содержащиеся во встречных претензиях SOUNDGARDEN, которые будут встречены быстрым судебным разбирательством. Ирония заключается в том, что бывшие соратники Криса по группе теперь изображают невинность в связи с трибьют-концертом 2019 года под управлением фонда Криса, который собрал более 1 миллиона долларов США для благотворительного фонда и выплатил более 650 000 долларов США в адрес EBMRF на медицинские исследования, и который не имеет никакого отношения к вопросу о том, кому принадлежат вокальные записи Криса, когда SOUNDGARDEN получили более 78 000 долларов США за выступление на благотворительном концерте.

Как хорошо известно бывшим участникам группы Криса, каждый цент выручки от концерта был должным образом распределён и учтён, а их заявления не только фальшивые и клеветнические, но и демонстрируют глубину, до которой бывшие товарищи Криса готовы опуститься, чтобы запятнать его наследие.

Также иронично, что, потратив значительное количество времени и средств на гонорары адвокатов (оплаченных из денежных средств, причитающихся Chris estate) и утверждая, что судебная система Флориды не обладает персональной юрисдикцией над ними, бывшие товарищи Криса по группе теперь обращаются за помощью к той же самой судебной системе, подавая свои встречные иски». #Soundgarden #AlternativeRock #Alternative_Rock #GrungeRock #Grunge_Rock

Avengers: Endgame
U/A:  Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson
Rating: 

Avengers: Endgame, undoubtedly the most anticipated film of recent year's, lives up to most expectations. This film is a befitting finale for the decades-old, 21 films, Marvel Cinematic Universe that heralded the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye. Together they formed the original Avengers team while the newer allies and villains added more power to subsequent outings. This may not be a non-stop action spectacle. Instead, what we get is a well- proportioned, engagingly structured narrative that spreads out its content and thrills in momentous expansiveness, End game basically posits a finale worthy of the superhero characters it promotes. Marvel's time-travelling sci-fi adventure saga throws up a few surprises too along the way.

The story is rather basic - After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), which ended with Thanos getting all of the six Infinity Stones and then using them to wipe out half of existence, including beloved heroes like Black Panther, Star-Lord, and Spider-Man. The surviving heroes go through a period of self-recrimination, hopelessness, heartache and self-doubt before they take the necessary steps to reverse Thanos' actions, they're fatalism keeps us grounded.

The script by Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely among others, is surprisingly inventive, fraught with emotion and funny. The performances live up to the iconoclastic expectations of the fans while the CGI and effects lend whole new meaning and dimension to quantum physics and chaos theory. The film is a sort of nirvana for the thousands of people who sweated night and day to make such a unique and unprecedented experience come good. Endgame has a much slower, deliberate pace allowing for deeper character development and strong motivations while developing intensity and attachment all the way through. A major portion of the action happens only towards the last half hour of a nearly 3-hour runtime – yet, doesn't feel bloated or unnecessarily expanded.

This film incorporates beloved elements from earlier outings and recalls character beats, origins, and sub-plots while adding texture and complexity to the inter-galactic drama envisioned as homage to the never-say-die superhero spirit. Alan Silvestri's amazing background score elevates the intensity and involvement. The helming by the Russo brothers is also quite remarkable – creating a well-sprung of entreaty that is truly an event!

How does one put together words about a film that, for all practical purposes, anything and everything you write, is likely to be misconstrued/diagnosed as a spoiler?

Suffice it to know that this expectedly dramatic conclusion of Marvel's three-part Infinity Saga is a relatively internalised, deep and sober film, concerned more with the motivations of super-heroes, the choices before them, and what they should pick, in order to take on super-villain Thanos—of course.

For one, the earth is a much quieter place, since as you're aware, its species have been annihilated, decimated by Devil Thanos, ever since he got his hands on the infinity stones, and went on to execute the bizarre plan of supposedly ethical ethnic cleansing—randomly ridding planets of half its populations, to make them more sustainable, by restoring balance of sorts, as it were.

Of course, there will be survivors. And Iron Man or Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), to start with, is thankfully rescued or reunited with the human family back home. So is Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Both of them, like all the others, seem to be somberly dealing with the aftermath of a universal tragedy.

Surely, you have your own favourites from this cinematic universe (and how can Iron Man not top that list?). But there's something about the inherent cuteness of Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) that saves this franchise's final installment from turning into a complete depresso—left to be downed over rounds of espresso, what with the screen-time running three hours plus.

Indians might thank their theatres for the usually hated interval. I caught it without one, but didn't miss it either. There's enough material here to keep you engaged, even if to wonder, on occasion, if some of it makes any sense. You may or may not be impressed with the long drawn explanations, but you're only too happy to go with it.

Frankly, I'm no Marvel fanboy/fanatic—if the movie-world is indeed divided into two types, then more the DC demographic. That said, there is an infectious verve and energy that multiple super-heroes bring to this cinematic universe that is hard to not be swayed by, even if an individual or sub-set, Guardians Of Galaxy in particular, may be difficult to appreciate on their own.

Check out the Avengers: Endgame trailer here:

Avengers: Endgame does a fine job of navigating a reasonably cogent script without over-populating the screen. Avengers: Infinity War seemed more overwrought in comparison. I re-watched portions of the 2018 prequel on my phone (for quick revision), which of course means I didn't watch it at all.

For, at the end of the day, battle sequences and pyrotechnics is the point of it all, isn't it? Endgame, despite all the philosophy, is not an exception. It shines gloriously as 3D spectacle on the IMAX screen, ideally viewed from the third-row, from the back—and if you're not on IMAX, then the third row from the front—for a stunningly immersive experience, with such depth of field that the points where the camera focuses on a river, the ripples flowing towards you, you almost feel like you can wade through the frickin' water!

I know, don't need to put in a word (spoilers be damned). Suffice it to know that seldom has the excitement of audiences entering a theatre, matched by those exiting, after a hugely hyped pic. Endgame equals its astounding anticipation. And that's saying a whole lot!
