Filed under: Action, Comedy, New Releases, Sony, Celebrities and Controversy, Box Office, Fandom, Distribution, Exhibition, Home Entertainment It seems fairly certain that Hancock will do decent business when it hits theaters this Friday, if only because Will Smith rarely stars in a dud these days -- especially when it's face selling the movie before all else. Whether or not the film has staying power after opening weekend, however, remains to be seen, but Sony Pictures clearly has a lot of faith in its potential: Last week, the studio revealed its intentions of releasing the film online sometime after its theatrical run and before its DVD release, but only to users with Sony Bravia TV sets. It's a bold maneuver, one that assumes its core base of consumers actually have an interest in Hancock -- but the movie will make a profit either way, so it's a reasonable choice for this intriguing experiment. Left in the dust by Apple's iPod, Sony continues to struggle in its search for a piece of the digital revolution. Company head Howard Stringer recently told the New York Times that the strategy for releasing Hancock "vanishes the memory of the failures of the Sony Walkman." Well, maybe. While on-demand technology has changed the way audiences consume their media, they don't like paying more money than necessary. Asking your audiences to buy a special device in order to access what, at this point, amounts to one movie -- well, that's asking a lot. But it's still a step in the right direction.

Filed under: Drama, Paramount, RumorMonger, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt This past Sunday, The New York Times featured a popular City-section story about the first-ever prom held for students of Brooklyn's International High School. In case you don't like to read, you can simply watch the video accompaniment here. And if you don't like to read and you don't like documentary-style videos, and have a lot of patience, you can wait for the feature film, which will apparently be hitting theaters some time in the future. According to New York magazine's Vulture blog, a number of producers are interested in optioning the article, while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have personally brought it to the attention of Paramount Pictures, where Pitt's Plan B Entertainment has a first-look deal. Supposedly an unnamed non-Paramount studio exec beat us all to the punch by joking that "maybe Maddox and the twins can star in it." Of course, he forgot about Pax and Zahara (and the twins aren't really international). Actually, the first joke I thought about was the running gag on TV's The Critic about the kid from Easter Island who attends the United Nations School. Then, the second joke I thought of was about Brangelina's adopted children. Then I kept thinking of other things, such as how thanks to Prom Night people might assume this other prom-themed movie is also a horror flick. But that's not so much a joke as it is me trying to think on a studio exec's level (hey, we were synchronous with the Maddox bit) in order to contemplate what they'd call the thing. International Prom? A Prom for All Nations (ala the video's title)? Or will Hollywood appropriately go for one of those song-based titles? Been around the World, perhaps?

The White House behind pit bull, Dana Perino went on the offense today.  They attacked the New York Times for not printing the truth, misstating the facts possibly over reaching with a subtitle.  Yep, Dana wanted the Times to correct this problem.  Not the facts in the story.  It seems those were right.  The fact that the White House didn t acknowledge that at least 2 other White House lawyers advised the CIA not to destroy the tapes didn t seem to phase Dana Perino.  The fact that again the White House hasn t been straight with the American people didn t get Perino s goat.  A sub title that was the problem of the wicked New York Times. TCR has more.   I, of course, have the video below. - From NYT: The Central Intelligence Agency has agreed to make documents related to the destruction of interrogation videotapes available to the House Intelligence Committee and to allow the agency’s top lawyer, John A. Rizzo, to testify about the matter, Congressional and intelligence officials said Wednesday. But it remained unclear whether Jose A. Rodriguez, who as chief of the agency’s clandestine service ordered the tapes destroyed in 2005, would testify. Officials said Mr. Rodriguez’s appearance before the committee might involve complex negotiations over legal immunity at a time when the Justice Department and the intelligence agency were reviewing whether the destruction of the tapes broke any laws.  (more ) bush administration, central intelligence agency, dana perino, house intelligence committee, new york times, videotapes, white house

It’s hard to make the IT industry’s only intelligent enforcement engine better known as BIGFIX interesting and viral. But that is exactly what BIGFIX’s Vice President of Marketing, David Appelbaum, and his marketing firm Rassak Experience did. Creating a presidential candidate, Ray Hopewood, and making him real through Facebook, Flickr and other online marketing techniques, BIGFIX ended up landing more than two million dollars in sales and a front page story in the New York Times, National Public Radio and the SF Chronicle.

Rachel Sterne, founder of GroundReport has a chat with Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., Publisher of the New York Times.

The Panther?s Claw starring Sidney Blackmer, made in 1942 is in B&W and runs 70 min. A man is suspected of killing his secret lover, only to find a business rival turn up dead as well. Fictional cool cop Thatcher Colt comes to the rescue as he thinks something smells funny all around.

Our second feature film stars Trevor Howard in The Opium Connection. Made in 1966, this movie runs 99 min. trying to catch international drug dealers; U.N. investigators add radioactive isotopes to the dope to track the criminals down.

With southern California ablaze, forcing the evacuation of a quarter of a million people after the of charring at least 267,000 acres and still going; and the latest reports that the Great Lakes have lowered as much as seven inches, we realize even more so, that climate change is and should remain our issue under fire. Thus far, leading scientist say these abnormally drying events are directly attributable to the changes in the planet?s climate.

RetroVision Media's Issues Under Fire offers commentary on the issues of climate change for the negative, the continued war talk from Dick Cheney and America's unwillingness to engage the outside world

Our second full length feature film is Murder Once Removed. This one runs 94 minutes and is not rated. Both of these movies are vintage seventies and very camp. Enjoy!

Today?s feature films scheduled for your viewing pleasure is Hollywood Man. This flick runs 107 min and is rated R.

To torture or not to torture that is the question; whether it is nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or the take up arms against a sea of Arabs and Muslim extremist and beat the living shit out of them. That was clearly the dilemma Michael B. Mukasey wrestled with as he tortured Pat Leahy and other Democrats trying desperately to drag a straight answer from the purposefully vague and evasive Attorney General wannabe. Mukasey, president Bush?s pick to fill the vacuum left at the Justice Dept. by the disgraced flunky Alberto Gonzales, fought valiantly to fend off an agitated group of irritated inquisitors, doing all they could to ensure they did not let a yes man slip through the process and end up serving at the whim of the president and not the nation.

Our second stress reducer of the day is Midnight Limited, starring John King. On a train ride to Montreal from New York, murder and robbery is served up, while a detective and his partner tries to solve the crimes before they arrive at their destination.

Hey how about a couple of good films to ease your pain. We got Hold That Woman, starring James Dunn. An agent for a process serving and repossession company reclaims a radio from a deadbeat only to find the radio has a stash of stolen gems hidden inside. Big trouble ahead!

Apparently the Zogby pollsters tapped into yesterday?s podcast here and ripped us off for our random sampling of the country?s feelings towards this nation?s leadership; both in congress and the White House, as they are reporting only 24% of their respondents think the president is doing an adequate job and a paltry 11% of congress gets a positive nod from the voting public.

America is standing alone in the world now as we enter the 08 elections and the votes we cast will determine if we as a nation will fall flat on our faces with little chance of rising to global prominence again for decades to come, if we don?t get the right leadership in place now.

We Congratulate ?big Al? Gore on receipt of his Nobel Peace Prize in recognition for all his efforts in brining attention to the most significant issue facing humankind. We realize this battle to inform an unwilling public to accept the inconvenient truths and facts about where this planet will be in thirty to forty years if we don?t make major adjustments in our methods of using energy sources and conserving the world?s natural resources.

Hillary Clinton has predictably aligned her self with Joe Lieberman and other Republican hawks to continue putting pressure on the Iranians in what are presumably the first moves towards military conflict with Iran. With her vote to designate Iran?s Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, it opens the door to the forthcoming lets fuck-em speeches.
