    The Rev. Al Sharpton believes the world needs more fathers like Joe Jackson - a man the King of Pop said routinely beat him and his siblings when they were children.


    The civil rights leader heaped praise on the dad's parenting skills at the National Action Network in Harlem Saturday.


    "The arrogance of [people] attacking a man for being a stern father," Sharpton said. "I wish we had more stern fathers - then we wouldn't be shooting each other up."


    Jackson said he was honored to be recognized by Sharpton.


    "This feels great," he said. "I feel like I'm someone very special."

    After much reshuffling, the guest lineup for the Pocono Mountains Film Festival looks set.


    And one of the guests is sure to elicit some raised eyebrows.

    Joe Jackson, the controversial father of the late "King of Pop" Michael Jackson, will be on hand to accept the festival's Humanitarian Award at its closing banquet Saturday night.


    Jackson will be accepting the award on behalf of his son Michael, who died in June.


    The banquet is being held Saturday at Peppe's Ristorante in East Stroudsburg at 6:30 p.m.


    The appearance of Jackson is good news to PMFF founder Bridget O. Davis, who had been disappointed by celebrity cancellations earlier this month.


    "It's been really hectic," Davis said about coping with losing and gaining celebrity appearances. "We tried to take it up a notch this year and get some really great guests. It was a greater challenge, but it's made things harder."


    Joe Jackson has been accused of mental and physical abuse of Michael Jackson and his siblings and has been a lightning rod for controversy.


    He replaces actress Jessica Biel, whose representatives gave verbal confirmation of her intended attendance, according to Davis, had to cancel her local in-person appearance earlier this month.


    Biel is shooting the June 2010 movie release "The A-Team" in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and couldn't fly in for the local event.


    She was the first choice to receive the Humanitarian Award for starting the Make a Difference Network, a charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for non-profit organizations.


    She will, however appear at the festival via satellite from Vancouver to accept the festival's Career Achievement Award. The career award has previously gone to Oscar winners like Cliff Robertson and Jack Palance.


    The scheduling issues have taught Davis a lesson — make sure you have written confirmation.


    "From now on, that's what we'll be waiting for, to have it in writing," she said.


    The film festival got a lift Tuesday when officials at the Pocono Community Theater on South Courtland Street in East Stroudsburg — where the festival's movies are being shown — announced as part of the festival, it will be premiering the new animated family film "Astro Boy" a day before it hits national theaters.


    The new movie, with the voices of Nicolas Cage and Freddy Highmore, starts Friday around the country. In conjunction with the film festival, it will premiere with a free showing at the Pocono Community Theater on Thursday at 7 p.m.


    It will be the theater's only showing of the movie.


    A suggested $5 per person donation benefitting the non-profit Pocono Community Theater will be collected at the door.


    "We're one of 10 theaters in the country that gets to premiere it a day early," theater executive director Eric Hantson said. "That's exciting."


    The festival runs Thursday through Sunday at the Pocono Community Theater.


    It features the film work of local, regional and national filmmakers in competitions like best screenplay, best feature, best documentary, best short film and best student film.

    The Pocono Mountains Film Festival received another jolt Thursday when organizers were informed two outspoken and prominent civil rights leaders plan to attend Saturday's awards banquet.


    The Rev. Al Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson have told festival officials they plan to be at the festival's awards banquet Saturday night at Peppe's Ristorante in East Stroudsburg.



    The banquet starts at 6:30 p.m.


    Festival founder and organizer Bridget O. Davis said she was told the two would be there to support Joe Jackson, the father of the late Michael Jackson.


    Michael Jackson is posthumously receiving the festival's Humanitarian Award. His father is accepting the award on his behalf.


    Sharpton is a well-known Jackson family friend who spoke at Jackson's memorial service in July.


    "He's going to introduce Joe Jackson," Davis said. "That's what we were told. They've been friends for a long time."


    It was not explicitly explained why Jesse Jackson would be at the festival.


    Joe Jackson also will be accepting the Lifetime Achievement Award.


    Actress Jessica Biel, who originally was scheduled to receive the Humanitarian Award, will appear via satellite to accept the festival's New Emerging Artist honor. She had to cancel her appearance because she's shooting the 2010 movie "The A-Team" in Canada.


    The seventh annual Pocono Mountains Film Festival got under way Thursday with an exclusive showing of the new animated family film "Astro Boy" at the Pocono Community Theater in East Stroudsburg.


    As part of the festival, the theater was permitted to be one of 10 theaters in the country to premiere the movie one day before its wide release today.


    The show was free, and donations to the nonprofit theater are being collected.


    The festival — which includes eight features from local and regional filmmakers — begins in earnest today at the Pocono Community Theater and runs through Sunday afternoon.

    “In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world
    filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with
    despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with
    distrust, we must still dare to believe.”

  • Man kann Kindern Grenzen aufzeigen, man kann sie führen und in eine bestimmte Richtung lenken, die für sie gut ist.. ich streit das auch nicht ab, dass eine gewisse Art von Disziplin ganz gut sein kann...


    Aber Kinder zum Erfolg PRÜGELN, sie ihrer Kindheit berauben, nur um das eigene Verlangen nach Anerkennung und GELD zu befriedigen.. das verdient nun wirklich keinen Preis.


    Baaa, macht mich wütend sowas.. lustig ist das nicht.. :blossnet

  • Naja, wenn die meinen, dass es eine Auszeichnung wert ist, wenn ein Vater seine Kinder zum Erfolg PRÜGELT, und zumindest einer von ihnen (MICHAEL) eine dermaßene Scheißangst vor seinem EIGENEN VATER hat, dass er zeitweise in Ohnmacht fällt und sich laufend übergeben muss... :spinnen:blossnet


    Willkommen im Land der Freiheit, die Heimat der Beknackten... :rolleyes


    :bla

  • :spinnen


    im ersten moment hab ich gedacht, die meinen das ironisch :kicher


    seine kinder verprügeln (wie michael es schrieb: von ihm "...in der luft zerfetzt..." geworden zu sein) und dafür auch noch belohnt werden. wie krank ist das denn? :negativ
