![]() That didn’t happen, and nervous producers and financiers are hoping - but not expecting - a rebound at Cannes next month. After a rocky end of 2007, some were expecting a foreign-sales rebound in Berlin. “SKE made exactly the kinds of movies that other companies make,” said one film-financing insider, “and that the foreign market says it doesn’t want.” While some tried to write off the company as an anomaly because Kimmel himself made his money outside Hollywood, in the apparel industry, the scaling back could bode darker times. Meanwhile, newer entities like Media Rights Capital (“Babel”) earn high marks from insiders.īut the news that Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, producer of such films as “Charlie Bartlett” and “The Kite Runner,” will reduce its operations has been one sign that the market could get worse. Once a budget increases beyond $10 million - in a “more money, less risk” paradox - it gets easier.įor these and other pics, the question remains: How much of a shakeout is on its way?īig Beach (“Little Miss Sunshine”), River Road (“Into the Wild”) and politically conscious Participant (“An Inconvenient Truth”) are among the steadier players in the single-picture financing game, and all have enjoyed at least one or two hits during the past few years. ![]() That’s the area in which pictures require too much money to be covered easily with state money and the odd equity investor but not enough money that they’d have sufficient upside to attract bigger equity and debt players. The dead zone for single-picture financing lies in the $3 million-$10 million budget range. At talent firm Creative Artists Agency, a Tim Robbins directorial project called “The Heretic” fell apart for reasons likely connected to financing. The Oliver Stone-Antoine Fuqua biopic about Colombian drugs baron Pablo Escobar was set to go until it became clear the financing wasn’t ready. Meanwhile, at the agencies, a number of promising packages have struggled. The producer has since sought studio backing, and while several prospects have emerged, a deal has yet to materialize. “I’ve been producing movies for a long time, and I’ve never seen that happen before,” he said. ![]() One producer who’s behind some of the bigger indie crossovers had his movie, a $5 million drama with a noted director, fall apart just as it was ready to go into preproduction. Projects across the spectrum already have been affected. If a project can’t be presold and risk limited, financial institutions such as Aramid and Newbridge Partners who provided this funding become more reluctant to lend.įor, say, a $10 million project, $5 million may come from debt financing, $3 million from equity investors and the rest from state grants and tax rebates.īut with the debt market prohibitive, equity investors tight-fisted and foreign sales languishing, film-finance pipelines are starting to close up. Producers can’t finance most pictures without selling off the distribution rights in foreign territories, and foreign presales help cover much of the debt in what’s known as Gap/Supergap financing. To top it off, a barren foreign-sales market - some call the recent Berlin market the worst in many years - is dinging the financing world. Money is either too expensive - interest rates have soared from the neighborhood of 10% to 20% for many films - or impossible to get in the first place. ![]() Most evidently, skittish equity investors who once thought nothing of dropping a few million into a project are becoming a lot tighter with their money, while the overall number of equity investors is starting to drop.Īlmost as dramatic is the change in debt financing, the means by which much of a film’s budget is covered. “Now we’re getting a lot more.”Ī number of problems, many of which could soon be deepening, are to blame for a contraction that already is under way. “We’ve always gotten calls from producers saying, ‘Our financing has fallen through can you help us?”’ the Film Department’s Mark Gill said. ![]() Movies that are practically in preproduction are falling apart at the eleventh hour. Projects that would have sailed through easily a year ago are stalled in development. Much of the focus has in recent months been the fate of outfits such as Dune and Gun Hill, which invest in a slate of films, as Wall Street wrings its hands over their low batting averages.īut so-called single-picture financing - which encompasses films ranging from the smallest indie to a $60 million star vehicle - is going through its own turbulence. economy faces a swirl of negative forces, the film-financing world is set to endure its own perfect storm.Īnd like the economy, things could get a lot worse before they get better.

![]() ![]() Adding to my sense of Jewish déjà vu, after the election, in mid-November, the ADL’s national director, Jonathan Greenblatt, had announced at the organization’s yearly conference that the American Jewish community had “not seen this level of anti-Semitism in mainstream political and public discourse since the 1930s.” What was I afraid of? It wasn’t as if I’m expecting a replay of the now famous Billings, Montana, incident in 1993, when, according to JTA, “a brick was thrown through the bedroom window of a 5-year-old Jewish boy, Isaac Schnitzer, who was displaying a Chanukah menorah.”īut in an Anti-Defamation League report about anti-Semitic incidents issued before the presidential election, California was cited in 2015 as the state with the second-highest level of anti-Semitic incidents. Was it a good time to draw the light safely in and bring the flickering candles into the kitchen? After all, that’s the way my mother, who grew up in the Bronx borough of New York City in the 1930s, when anti-Semitism in America was on the rise, did it in our home. But there it was, a government-issued reminder that in the window, where your neighbors can see it, is the place from which your menorah should send out its glow.Įven so, a statement released by the Postal Service with the issue of the new stamp renewed my concerns when it reminded me that “at times in history when it was not safe for Jewish families to make a public declaration of faith, the menorah was set instead in a prominent place inside the home.” Though the statement went on to say that “today in the U.S., many families have renewed the tradition of displaying the menorah in windows during the holiday,” I still wondered if “today” was one of those “not safe” times in history. The design - a traditional, branched menorah shown burning in a window against a background of falling snow - seemed innocuous enough, even unseasonably fanciful if you live in California, like me. Helping to banish my second thoughts, however, was that new stamp. Was this a wise time to let our light shine? ![]() Why was I worried now? Since the previous Hanukkah, nothing had changed in our multi-ethnic and multi-denominational neighborhood, a place where non-Jewish neighbors have wished me “Happy Hanukkah” and at Passover “gut yontif.” But in the uncertain light of political change in our country, I was worried about what was emerging from the shadows: anti-Semitic iconography online, attacks on Jewish journalists, the re-emergence of Jewish conspiracy stories, Jewish college students being confronted with swastikas. ![]() In fact, it wasn’t really Hanukkah for me until I walked outside and, looking at the lit menorah emanating from my own window, affirmed that we had arrived to this time once again. Saying the blessings and lighting the candles is a mitzvah, according to the Talmud, and by doing so, we were also recognizing the blessing of our freedom of religion and expressing our Jewish identity. We’ve proudly placed our menorahs - whether lit by candle or by bulb - in our front windows, publicizing the miracle of the holiday both to our neighbors and ourselves. Hanukkah postage stamp depicting a lit menorah in a window was an unexpected source of inspiration.įor 17 years we’ve lived on a block where there are no other Jewish families. Though Hanukkah represents a victory of light over darkness - by the Maccabees over the Seleucid Empire, which resulted in the rededication of the Second Temple - recent events were causing me to rethink our window menorah lighting, turning me toward sharing our menorah kindling with only family and friends.īut, surprisingly, like finding an extra Hanukkah candle in the box, a new U.S. As I pictured our menorahs burning in their usual place - the front windows of our home - a warning light began to blink. LOS ANGELES ( JTA) - In the weeks before Hanukkah, with anticipation of the holiday brightly filling my mind, the darkening news of rising anti-Semitism in the U.S. ![]() ![]() They are added to your binary by the compiler. It tells make to compile X files (lol ) at the same time.C/C++: How do you set GDB debug flag (-g) with cmake? Site design / logo 2023 Stack Exchange Inc user contributions licensed under CC BY-SA. Last note, not necessarily CMake related, if you happen to have a multicore CPU and want to speed up builds, you can use the -jX option of make, where X is the number of cores in your CPU. Note that you must not specify a build type (Debug or Release) since it apparently conflicts with the manually set compiler flags. Set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-s") # Strip binary This is an example that shows how to do it: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6) So before forcing compiler options, you need to check that the compiler is really GCC. However, keep in mind that a CMakeLists.txt file should ideally work with many compilers. Last, if you are a GCC wizard and you want full control of the options passed to the compiler, you can also set them manually. And if you find uncomfortable to have to edit the CMakeLists.txt file to switch between Release and Debug mode, you can also specify the option in the CMake command line, like this: mkdir build & cd build usr/bin/c++ -O3 -DNDEBUG CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ usr/bin/c++ -O3 -DNDEBUG -o CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ -c /tmp/cmaketest/foo.cpp usr/bin/c++ -O3 -DNDEBUG -o CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ -c /tmp/cmaketest/main.cpp With the Release build type, the options passed to the compiler are these: Of course, change “Release” with “Debug” for debug builds. To fix this you simply need to specify a build type in the CMakeLists.txt file, in this way: set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)Īt the end of your CMakeLists.txt file. The build type is a feature most IDE have, it allows you to compile your program in “debug” mode, for easily single-stepping through it with a debugger, or in “release” mode, with speed optimization enabled. That’s because no build type has been specified to CMake. Now, if you’ve read my previous blog post on GCC’s compiler flags, you might probably not like what you see, since no optimization flag has been passed to GCC and as a result, your program won’t run as fast as it should. usr/bin/c++ CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ -o hello usr/bin/c++ -o CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ -c /tmp/cmaketest/foo.cpp Building CXX object CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ usr/bin/c++ -o CMakeFiles/hello.dir/ -c /tmp/cmaketest/main.cpp Here is the relevant part of the printout: But if the goal is to see the compiler flags used, it is always possible to override this behaviour with the VERBOSE=1 option. ![]() ![]() By default CMake hides the options passed to the compiler, and displays a higher level status indicator with the build completion percentage together with the name of the file currently being built (a much more elegant solution than autoconf). The interesting thing here is the VERBOSE=1 option. To do so, it is possible to use the commands: mkdir build & cd build But let’s see exactly what CMake does to compile these files. The first CMakeLists.txt looked like this: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)Īs already explained, it successfully creates an executable called “hello” using the main.cpp and foo.cpp source files. Now it’s time to explore the CMake syntax further.

Still there is a little hope left for the captain as he can be healed by the supreme healers and then he would be able to avenge for what is lost. The enemies never showed mercy on him they left him in such a state that he could be an example for everyone who dare to challenge. His team and the castle the two things he considered his life once are taken away from him.Įven the physical strength is not left with this warrior as his body is in a precarious state. The colors of romance can be seen in the air but once again it is just for the first scene as a single tragedy takes this warrior to a state where he can neither live nor kill himself.

With no greed of the throne this true super soldier is ready to make the miracles happen for the state. Chaol Westfall is the new face that we expect to see further in the series as he is the new captain of the royal forces and the one who is true to the throne.

To avoid tackles in the open field you have to make use of your evasive maneuvers like juke, spin, hurdle, stiff arm, and truck. Relying on outside runs against apt real opponents is probably a recipe for disaster, but definitely work more run variations into your offense. To be quite frank, when playing against the CPU, you can rack up double-digit yards on the ground with regularity regardless of the difficulty level you’re playing on. Basically, any play that takes you to the left or right of linemen. With regards to which running plays to use, we had stupendous success This will open up your offense and keep your opponent on their toes. You should, however, implement the QB scramble into your run game philosophy to force your opponent to try and counteract it. If you’re playing against a human opponent, you won’t be able to use this technique repeatedly. They still picked up a few yards and often more on each scramble. However, we tested this out against the CPU with pocket QBs such as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Obviously, mobile QBs like Marcus Mariota, Russell Wilson, Tyrod Taylor, and Cam Newton fare better at scrambling. Even when playing on All-Madden difficulty, we were often able to drop back for a pass with the intention of running and pick up at least five yards on almost every play. QB scrambling seems to be much more useful this year. Running into your blockers won’t send you to the turf as frequently and running through smaller creases in the defense is easier. It can also lead to a lot of turnovers. Thankfully, you won’t be as tempted to pass on every down due to the game’s improved run game.įor Madden 20, EA Sports made improvements to the run game that keep your back on his feet longer. Rifling deep passes downfield is fun and hey, it can lead to huge plays and quick scores. It’s easy to fall in love with the long ball in Madden.
