  Judge orders Yari to amend 'Crash' lawsuit
Yari sued the two organizations in March for allegedly denying him a fair proceeding in refusing to grant him a credit on "Crash," which went on to win the best picture Academy Award for fellow producers Cathy Schulman and Paul Haggis.
Ferns ruled that Yari's case was largely based on what the plaintiff believed was "fair" and that such a subjective belief was "insufficient to support a cause of action." The judge also took issue with Yari's claim that he had some sort of implied contract with PGA and AMPAS.
Yari complained that the decision-makers and evidence were shielded "behind a shroud of secrecy," making it impossible for him to fairly contest the results.

  Yari
Most yari are produced with a straight-grained pattern on the body of the blade, known as masame-hada.
As this is a characteristic of swords made in the Yamato tradition of sword-making, it is thought that many may have been made during that period.
It may have been that this is simply the easiest method to forge a yari blade rather than in the more complex methods that produced more complex patterns in the steel.
