Zouganelis- Hatzigiannis- Boulas Exclusive: The sudden departure from the shape

From the end of October when they premiered until last Saturday, the Piraeus Coast store was sold out and everyone was talking about one of the most successful bands of the winter - although seemingly unmatched, the shape managed to show a very strong chemistry.

However, A few days ago there was a departure from the shape that no one expected. The reason for him George Magga, who, during the program he played the clarinet, while his wife was singing - in fact the two of them had their own fanatical audience.

A man close to George Maggas confirmed his departure, stating to Yupiii: "Indeed, George left the group and the reasons were purely personal. There was not the slightest disagreement with the businessman of the store either, nor with the other artists. George left as a friend. Just the big issue he faced was that of distance, since he lives in Kammena Vourla and he had to 3 times a week to spend the night in Athens, where he has no home and had to stay in a hotel. This was a trouble for George and so he decided to leave- although he was very upset ".

The successful team of Piraeus Coast continues its regular appearances, with Michalis Hatzigiannis, Giannis Zouganelis and Sakis Boulas to lead and give the 100% of themselves to entertain the audience.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE – A sofa wedding

I can't tell you how heartwarming and uplifting it is to see a gentle, tender and intelligent film with top stars playing real people with real problems in the everyday world. The New York Observer, Rex Reed

"It's Never Too Late" keeps in mind that the good ending is temporary. What the exuberant film gives the two protagonists is a renewed zest for life. And that is something that never gets old.Peter Travers , Rolling Stone

"It's Never Too Late" is a minor miracle. While the Hollywood tradition tends to treat sex as something titillating or idealized, as taboo or completely pornographic, finally someone made a movie that handles it in the most risque way possible: as the physical expression of intimacy between two imperfect adults. Ann Hornaday,Washington Post.

After the great box office and artistic success of "The Devil Wears Prada", the perfect duo, director David Frankel and star Meryl Streep reunite for a delightful comedy about a woman's unexpected decision to rekindle her sex life after 30 years of marriage. Written by the talented Vanessa Taylor (Game of Thrones) and co-starring the one and only Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell, "It's Never Too Late" in addition to amazing performances has all the ingredients of a bold film that can disarm even the most cynical.

Summary:
Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) they can be a loving couple,  but they suffer from all the symptoms of familiarity. After decades of married life, Kay feels the need to rekindle the passion between them. So, when he learns about a famous marriage counselor (Steve Carell) based in Great Hope Springs, a country town, she tries to convince her wary husband to leave with her for a week of intensive care. But this is only the beginning. However difficult it may be to get the stubborn and workaholic Arnold to accompany her on this journey of pleasure and discovery, the real challenge awaits them when they reach their destination. There, they will need to shed all their inhibitions and try, with their hearts, to rekindle the spark that once brought them together.
Duration: 100’

Trivia/Fun facts:
• Screenwriter Vanessa Taylor has gone through a lot for this script, after, as known, a good idea is not enough to make a movie. When she showed the first manuscript to her mentor, he told her to throw away the last ones 60 pages. Of course she didn't like that idea at all, but decided to take his advice and rewrote the final scene. After its completion, the script was circulated, as they say in Hollywood, but no one was choosing it. And then the script entered the so-called Black List. The Black List includes the most promising scripts circulating in Hollywood that have not yet been made into films.
• It was producer Guymon Casady who took the initiative to bring the script to light. He himself remembers: “My wife Robyn, who is also a screenwriter herself, had met Vanessa Taylor at a barbeque, resulting in Vanessa giving the script of Never Too Late to Robyn. A week later, we were lying in bed reading and my wife was engrossed in the script. When he finished it, he came back and said i know it's late, but you must read this script. It's amazing. I read it that night and fell in love with it and decided to take it on as a producer.".
• For the scenes, where the couple meets with the psychologist, the director thought that the best way to achieve a live, fresh and funny scene, was to avoid many rehearsals or in some cases no rehearsals at all. For Steve Carell this was a big challenge for obvious reasons. “Imagine! You sit across from Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones for a scene that has 9 pages and say “Action!” and you start. There was definitely an element of fear, and I think David wanted to capture that. But it was fun. I understand why David didn't want a lot of rehearsals. He wanted it to feel fresh and organic, and not that of the written script".
• The film has been shot exclusively in Connecticut. In the first three weeks, the scenes were shot in the office of Dr. Feld, for which an old factory was transformed into a conference space. Next came the scenes of the lead duo at their home in Omaha, in the hotel in Maine and in the room of a romantic inn.
• The script's fictional town of Great Hope Springs is set in an idyllic fishing village called Stonington. There, the crew had to intervene in some buildings for the needs of the scenario, while the locals not only watched the filming, but they also participated as extras.

Honda Gold Wing F6Β 1800

It is this "passpanto" of the motorcycle; No, sure, Europeans have discovered this in the form of Adventure or mega On-off. As with most recreational items, Americans have a different point of view, strange most of the time and often charming.

This F6B version of the legendary Gold Wing is a bold mix of elements from the two mainstays of American two-wheeled culture. –of custom and road kings.

The success of the Gold Wing GL has been going on for thirty-eight years 1800 in America. However much respect he exudes today, it cannot be considered cool, especially among younger riders. (How cool can a reverse bike be;). Honda has known this for a long time and has tried to expand the appeal of GW with very daring bikes like the Valkyrie (F6C) and the Rune. And it probably failed.

The new stripped-down Gold Wing F6B will change that; It all depends on which strings of the American motorcycling soul it touches.. It's not Honda's first six-cylinder custom, but it may be the first that has a logic.

This time the "Japanese" (because the bike is designed at the Honda Design Center in the USA) avoided creating a jumble of mismatched elements with period aesthetics, which he eventually named Valkyrie. He also avoided drawing inspiration from some utopian space opera, creating an unreal "something", who dipped it in chrome and took it to the streets under the name Rune.

To tell the truth, how many Americans do you think usually ride such bikes, have some idea of ​​what Valkyrie and Rune mean; Honda must have been confused, thinking the bikes will be sold in Germany.

So with the third and drugged attempt, Honda has a chance to succeed. And this time, starting with the simple, understandable name. The aesthetics of the motorcycle, a Komodo Dragon with its tail cut off, can be considered an authentic "translation" of the legendary GW. And authenticity is everything to the American, especially when the word is mentioned in advertisements –however, we do not have an opinion on this matter, let those concerned decide…

Essentially, then, the F6B is an aesthetic exercise, and a rather safe way for Honda to approach the younger part of motorcyclists or motorcyclists who like such vicious constructions.

The platform is the same as GW's, but the silhouette has changed dramatically. The huge trunk behind the passenger seat has had a haircut, but the large side cases have remained. The lower half of the fairing has been renewed, having more intense hot air exhaust grilles, while the "garage door" that wears the classic Gold Wing for jelly has been replaced by an "eyebrow".

Everywhere in context, engine and wheels, one sees black strokes, while the colors offered are gloss red and gloss black. Under the skin anyway, everything has remained the same. The flat-six engine comes directly from the Gold Wing. It is housed in an aluminum frame of gigantic dimensions, low and forward –this position keeps the center of gravity low and contributes to the easy change of inclination, but also direction.

The weight amounts to 382 kilos, 29 less than the standard GL1800. Standard equipment includes a sound system with MP3/iPod connection, large digital display with Trip Computer, clock, air temperature and sound system controls. The expensive Deluxe version offers the front passenger a back cushion, central stand, self-extinguishing flashes (!) and heated grips.
