On Tuesday Washington State coach Mike Leach told reporters that his football team is banned from tweeting, effective immediately. Any Wazzu player caught tweeting is subject to immediate suspension.
When asked what prompted the decision, Leach said, "I decided."
Okay then!
This hardline stance is particularly fun coming from a coach who could very well be mistaken for a rambling homeless person if you catch him at the wrong press conference. But Leach isn't the first one to make this move. Florida State, South Carolina, and Nebraska are just a few other programs that have told football players to stay off Twitter, and it's likely that others will follow suit over the next few years.
Urban Meyer sorta banned Twitter when he took over at Ohio State, then apparently softened his stance, and nine months later an Ohio State player tweeted this...
...setting off a tornado of stupidity that definitely wasn't fun for anyone associated with Ohio State football. So, okay: Twitter can be problematic. Let's talk about banning twitter.
There are a few reasons any Twitter ban is obnoxious.
1. People are stupid. Half the time people freak out over athletes' tweets, the offending tweet is a rap lyric. Example: A Florida State player who quoted a Lil Boosie lyric about killing police and it led to the Florida state police releasing a statement saying, "For a Florida State University Football player to publicly advocate the murder of police officers is outrageous and hateful. His disparaging language was racist, provocative and violent in an attempt to incite others to violence."
It's not to defend the sentiment, but if people read that kid's tweet as a rap lyric instead of a call-to-arms, the reaction would be different. Then he's stupid for posting an offensive lyric, not evil for wanting to kill cops.
Athletes say a lot of truly stupid things, but just as often, there's a cultural disconnect that underlies the shock and outrage when people see stray screenshots of "vulgar" tweets proving our culture's imminent downfall. Banning Twitter basically sides with the confused old white people, doesn't it?
2. Football coaches are not God. There's nothing more unbearable than the Omnipotent Football Coaches of 2012. It's bad enough that everyone seems to love angry, control-freak coaches (ROLL TIDE), but now they want to tell players what they can and can't do on the internet. It would be like a coach banning AOL Away Messages because they might be seen by the wrong people. There are ways to educate players and give them guidelines to follow without banning social media altogether, but college coaches won't do this, mostly because they don't need to make the effort. It's much easier to just ban it, and there's nobody around to tell them they can't.
3. Free speech. This is a perfect example of situation that compels stupid people to say, "This isn't about free speech! They're free to say whatever they want! They just have to live with the consequences." WELL ... When you start creating new consequences for speaking out, guess what? YOU'RE RESTRICTING FREE SPEECH.
We don't need to get preachy, but let's just be honest about exactly what's happening. If you're asking a player to choose between tweeting about the new Kendrick Lamar album or quitting the team and losing his scholarship, that player's freedom is being compromised.
Considering most of these schools--and athletic programs--are publicly funded, it's an ugly precedent. Washington State football is not a private business, and shouldn't act like one.
On the other hand:
This point cannot be overstated. At least five times a month I see a college kid say something awful on Twitter and thank God that Twitter wasn't around when I was in college.
There are exceptions to this rule--like UNC's Kendall Marshall last year--but on the whole, college kids are idiots. They do and say things for shock value, they have no concept of how they stupid they sound to normal human beings who aren't in college partying 4-days-a-week, and almost as a rule, we all look back at our college years and cringe in horror at what we did/said/wanted to be.
Oh, and also:
Seriously. Twitter is a great information resource and can be entertaining 24 hours-a-day. But tweeting? Even the world itself single-handedly makes 2012 a dumber place. There's an 80-90 percent you have nothing important to add about the Oscars, or that 30for30 episode, or the new Kendrick Lamar album. If you are a college student tweeting, that percentage becomes 99.9.
The athletes who use Twitter in a smart, promotional way are ten times more annoying than the ones who screw around and tweet rap lyrics. With all due respect, give me fake Ryan Mallet, not real Matt Barkley. And schools like USC--who puts every player's Twitter name on the scoreboard--are even more obnoxious.
Nobody needs to follow star athletes to see them tweet #Leggggoo before games, #RiseAndGrind before weightlifting sessions, and re-tweet Drake. Everyone will survive. And if a team getting rid of Twitter means preventing even one horrible PR mess because a someone's never heard a Lil Boosie song, then it's all worth it. If any star college athletes really want to speak out about social issues and use their influence, there are literally hundreds of available reporters who will listen, and then we can all re-tweet their articles, saying "THIS." and it'll be like nothing ever changed.
So that's where we stand, I think. There are a lot of good reasons to hate the idea of Twitter bans, but in the end, "College kids are idiots" and "Tweeting is stupid" are two points that just cannot be argued. We will miss funny college athlete tweets, but it's for the best, and it's only a matter of time before major programs across the country make this move.
With that, a moment of silence for former Florida safety Will Hill. Still the best college football tweeter of all time. Always the best college football tweeter of all time.

On tap at the Old Toad in Rochester, NY.
Pours a deep golden yellow/orange, with a 2 inch foamy, fizzy head, and a lot of lacing.
Smells like Citra hops, black pepper, honey, and grass.
Tastes similar, a lot of stuff going on in here, hard to wrap my head around it. Some honey sweetness, some orange and pineapple flavors from the Citra hops, some black pepper spiciness (the Tasmanian pepper berries maybe?). There is a really fresh herbal quality to this, and some gin botanical like qualities to it as well. Really complex and unique. I don't really know what Buddha's hand zest it, or what it tastes like, so I'm not picking it up.
Light bodied, crisp, clean mouthfeel, which is a miracle, given all the flavors that could muddle it up. No bitterness. Medium carbonation.
My first braggot- without comparing it to other braggots, I will say that Twisted Pine knocked it out of the park. I haven't liked many of their other brews, but this hit all the right notes for me.

25.4oz brown bottle, no freshness date.
Patchy lacing, deep golden hue. Aromas of exotic fruit, lemon pith, pepper corn, earthy honey, and bready malt. Citrus twang, spicy, mildly peppery, underlying honey, warming, faint yeast, clean graininess, grassy, fruity with a drying finish.
Very interesting and very extreme with the additions of Buddha's Hand Fruit and Tasmanian Pepper Berries. It is still a full on Braggot and a whole lot of fun to sip.

1 pint 9.4 fl oz brown glass bopttle with waxed over pressure cap served into a Guinness goblet in me gaff in high altitude Castle Rock, Colorado. Reviewed live.
Served straight from the fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a white colour three finger head of fair cream and thickness, and nice retention. Body colour is a transparent pale copper. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show.
Sm: Honey, spice, pale malts, and nordic spice. Residual sugar. An average strength aroma.
T: Honey, heavy spicing, brown/fermented sugar, crystal malt, sweet lemon, and some light citrusy hops.
Mf: Nicely coarse, wet, and well carbonated. A bit nectary. Good thickness and palate presence.
Dr: Drinkable and enjoyable. I'd have this again. I quite like this. A tasty brew from twisted pine.

It takes all kinds of palates, I guess, but I like the moderate amount of honey flavor. From the 750 ml bottle pours a light, honey-colored brew with a white, persistent foam with a champagne mouthfeel. Aroma of lemon and pineapple.
A nice tart edge offsets the sweetness. For the record, the flavorings include orange blossom honey, Buddha's Hand citron and Tasmanian pepper berries, whatever that is. This is a very pleasant mix of citrus and honey, with a touch of heat. It leaves you with a woody taste in the mouth. I like the fact that this does have both tart and sugary elements, but it's quite edgy with what tastes like Belgian yeast. It dries out toward the end and leaves a hint of that yeasty bitterness.
This seems quite complex and interesting to me, and well worth a try, especially if you aren't crazy about Braggots. They're closing this one out at Mayfair Liquors in Denver.

Poured into a snifter. Limited release #4 of 12.
3.0 A: Moderately hazed dark yellow color. Three fingers of frothy white head. Retention is a bit below average and little lacing is left.
3.5 S: Big honey from the start, like it should be. Huge herbalness including chamomile and dandelion. Earthy and peppery spiciness. Neutral, lightly grainy maltiness. Pleasant nose.
3.5 T: Lots of honey, but I still want some more. Again spicy pepper, herbal tea variety of herbalness, and dirty earth. Clean, grainy malts.
3.5 M: Medium body. Good moderate carbonation with a light spritziness to it. Smooth.
3.5 D: I'm a big fan of braggots, and while it isn't bad, it's not super complex or super potent. I prefer braggots to have an unholy amount of honey. Still, definitely worth a buy since there is a paucity of braggots on the market and this one is tasty.

I would really love to go to London. I've never been out of Canada or the US and think it would be a great experience. I want to start making arrangements, but when I have looked up info on the net so far. it's been overwhelming. I do not know about the hospitals there (which ones are teaching and accept international students, which have an active medicial imaging department etc)
I also don't know much about the area, which complicates arrangement making for where I should stay while there.
Any information from staff/students of the hospitals there, or just anyone with tips on where are some good places to stay (and definitely those to avoid! ) would be IMMENSLEY appreciated!
I'm not sure how things are going to end up, but I am going to think positive and start planning now!
Thanks in advance!

Digicel Jamaica falls to No 3 spot in group
CURRENCY movements and lower call rates resulted in Jamaica dropping one spot to the third highest revenue earning territory for the telecoms group Digicel.
Concurrently, the group earned US$36.9 million ($3.9 billion) net profit for its December 2013 quarter, reversing the loss in the prior year's quarter.
Over nine months net profit totalled US$61 million which reversed a whooping US$215-million loss in the comparative period the year before.
Haiti remained the top territory, followed by Papua New Guineawhich surpassed Jamaica over the quarter, financials indicate.
"Revenues in Jamaica decreased by 16 per cent to $104 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013," explained Digicel in its financials. "Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Jamaican dollar has depreciated by 13 per cent."
In fact, the top three territories all earned less revenues in the December quarter but Jamaica tumbled the fastest, followed by Papa New Guinea, which was down four per cent to US$117 million, and Haiti, down 3.9 per cent to US$122 million.
Digicel added that even at constant currency basis revenue in Jamaica dipped six per cent to US$117 million.
The Jamaica revenue decline comes in the context that the group is relocating key management to Ireland.
The group in 2012 opened an 11-storey office in Kingston Jamaica describing it as its "global headquarters".
However last June, five managers from the Digicel Group relocated from Jamaica to a new corporate office in Dublin, Ireland. Digicel reportedly will establish a corporate base in Dublin from where Group CEO Colm Delves, Chief Financial Officer Lawrence Hickey, Head of investor relations Brian Devine, and a couple other senior members of the management team will oversee the group operations.
The move raised questions as to whether Digicel's corporate base in fact remains in Jamaica, where the group has called home since its start-up in 2001.
"Local currency depreciation, relative to the US dollar, particularly in Haiti, Jamaica and Papua New Guinea, which adversely impacted revenues in those markets," the telecommunications firm explained. "In constant currency, against the US dollar, Group service revenues increased by three per cent to US$694 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and reduced Mobile Termination Rates in French West Indies, Jamaica and El Salvador, which negatively impacted reported service revenues in those markets by a combined US$10 million."
The group earned US$305 million before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the quarter, which represents an EBITDA margin of 46 per cent of service revenues, an increase of one percentage point from the prior year period.
Subscribers increased by five per cent from 12.8 million subscribers at December 31, 2012 to 13.4 million subscribers at December 31, 2013, financials indicated.
The 404,000 net additions were recorded in the quarter with growth across a number of markets "including Haiti, Jamaica, El Salvador and Papua New Guinea," Digicel added.
Last December, Digicel announced that its subsidiary, Digicel Asian Holdings Ltd, signed an agreement with Ooredoo to develop, construct and lease telecommunications towers in Myanmar.
It also announced that the group entered into a share and asset purchase agreement with Global Caribbean Fiber to acquire certain submarine assets in the Eastern Caribbean region.
The proposed transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the coming months.
Digicel group's cash on hand at December 2013, amounted to US$1.5 billion. The group recently issued an additional US$500 million of the existing 8.25 per cent DGL senior notes due 2020, which brings the total amount outstanding of the DGL 2020 notes to $2 billion, financials stated.
Calls to Digicel for clarity on the financials in relation to Jamaica went unanswered up to press time.

Movie News
Ghostbusters theatrical rerelease slated for next month!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The next entry into my editorial column THIS SHOULD HAPPEN was going to be about rereleases (and it still very well might be), so consider my pleasant surprise at the news of Ghostbusters being rereleased to theaters next month.
Now, there aren't any details that I've been able to find. I don't know how many screens, if it's a real 2k/4k re-release or one of those shitty DVD projection jobs, but the Ghostbusters Facebook page hinted at things in the works and then posted a trailer announcing the return of Ghostbusters to the big screen.
If it ends up being a well-pushed wide-release then this could very well be the studio's way of gauging interest in the franchise as they decide what to do about Ghostbusters 3.
I want this trend to continue, so you better believe I support these re-releases. The UK is getting Jurassic Park, we're getting Ghostbusters... If studios are smart they'll realize how much money they could make in pushing rereleases of these big audience pleasers.
Anyway, I'll save that rambling for the next This Should Happen. More Ghostbusters rerelease news as it comes in!

If the rerelease of the original film goes well, as you suggest, they'll likely take that as a good indicator that GB3 should go, WHICH ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

That's awesome. Hell...Hollywood is already fresh outta NEW goddamn ideas...may as well treat us to a re-release...rather than a "re-imagining", "re-boot", "remake" or "re-fucking-hash". <p> Fuck...it's Halloween...why not throw the original "Nightmare on Elm Street" & "Halloween" out into theaters while yer at it? I'd take that over those two shitty "re-boots" that brought absolutely NOTHING fresh to the table! <p> I think it's a smart move for Hollywood to roll out some classics to the big screen, especially for holiday occasions. <p> JAWS for 4th of July...Scrooged or Die Hard for X-Mas...etc. You don't need to "remake" something to bring it to a whole new audience. Just dump it back into theaters for a month...make some money while yer at it. <p> Meanwhile...take that $$$ to fund FRESH and NEW ideas....create brand new franchises...and stop taking the lazy way out.

I can only make it to an AMC via train, so a 7:00 PM show means getting one back from Boston is a tight squeeze for me. I had to pass on the recent big screen showing of Scarface for that very reason (starting a three hour movie at 7:00 PM?!). At least with their recent showings of Back To The Future and Airplane!, they offers two showings apiece, one on a Saturday afternoon, and the other on a Tuesday night.

Ghostbusters II was *hardly* a commercial failure
by Nasty In The Pasty
About $110 million in 1989 dollars was a pretty impressive haul. It only *seemed* like a failure because the original grossed more than twice that five years earlier. Kind of like how the same summer's "bomb" Licence To Kill was supposedly the reason why the James Bond franchise went into a 6-year hibernation, and yet the weak $30 million U.S. gross was a FRACTION of what it pulled in worldwide, considerably more than it cost to make.

I wish more old films would get NATIONWIDE theatrical reissues
by Nasty In The Pasty
I know Disney is doing The Lion King for two weeks starting Friday (which is what they did for their Toy Story double-feature in 2009), and that's a business model more studios should try out. Instead of these ENDLESS REMAKES, just make a few thousand new prints, advertise a two-or-three week window where you cans ee your old favorite on the big screen again, and make some fresh money on films that have been in the can for decades. I miss the days when Disney animation classics would get reissued every seven years or so (which came to a halt by the end of the 90's...I think The Little Mermaid in 1997 was the last major theatrical reissue, and that was done just to sabotage the success of Don Bluth's Anastasia). I mean, making some new prints and creating a new advertising campaign can't cost THAT much, and since nostalgia rules these days, you could easilly make $20 or $30 million a pop for some of these reissues. Imagine if, prior to the release of Crystal Skull in 2008, we got each of the previous Indiana Jones movies reissued in the previous three months? Or Tron before Tron: Legacy? Or The Thing before...um, The Thing? Easy money.

Re-releases don't work anymore
by Jaster Mareel
It was different in the 70's before home video. Then, of course re-release shit. Disney films were on a continuous re-release schedule and in the 80's stuff like Star Wars and Close Encounters enjoyed a couple of re-releases. Hell, even by the time the Star Wars special editions came around re-releases were still viable because as the trailer suggested, an entire generation had only seen the films in pan and scan on low resolution VHS on 19"-27" shitty CRT TVs. My of my how far we have come since then. Now everyone has at least 42" HDTVs and Blu-ray is extremely popular. Ghostbusters has been out on BD for years. So why in the holy fuck would I pay more to go see it in worse quality with a bunch of loud-mouthed assholes and expensive snacks when I could pay less to OWN the mother fucker on Blu-ray? It will look and sound better on my system and I can pause and eat whatever the fuck I want on my comfy couch. I mean.... HELLO? McFLY?

It's a no-brainer, even for Hollywood
by Johann Wolgang von Eisenschwanz
Like, how often do expensive reboots and unnecessary prequels just alienate fans of cult franchises? I'd gladly shell out regular admission to see one of my favorites, because the best home theater system and small group of friends is no substitute for catching a classic on the big screen with a high grade sound system. Case in point: how much better do you think a limited rerelease of "Conan the Barbarian" would've done than the floptastic shitty reboot? It certainly couldn't have done much worse, and it would've cost far less. For a fraction of the cost of making a new film from the ground up with NO assurances the audience will respond positively, you can trot out the a few of the old warhorses every couple of years. Best case scenario: the studios net an easy couple million, the fans go home happy.

You are correct that Licence to Kill was not a bomb, but under performed at the box office. However, that was not the primary reason the Bond series was put on hold in the early 90s. Quitnex, Pathé, MGM/UA and Danjaq/EON became embroiled in a legal dispute about the distribution and licensing of the Bond film franchise which took several years to resolve. Production for the followup to LTK was slated to being in 1990, but that date fell through as all sides lawyered up and the case dragged on. So even though LTK had softer returns than expected, there was other behind the scenes studio turmoil that got in the way of continuing the series on schedule.

Common Practice, Now Lost
by THX1968
Re-releases were a long, storied part of Hollywood history. Maybe studios will get a clue and realize that a re-release of, say, Superman: The Movie would be a better investment than an Idiot Produced Green Lantern movie. The home video craze that began in the 80's put the kibosh on re-releases for the studios, but it hasn't deterred George Lucas from making a killing on re-releasing Star Wars movies. The goon doesn't even have to mess with it, and people would still flock to a limited engagement of Star Wars (1977). Think of the millions Hollywood could save on production costs. Outside of prints and distribution, you're looking at all profit. It's a win-win, because the audience will know that it is seeing a great movie instead of a shiny new piece of mustard shit like the Idiot Produced Green Lantern movie.

I agree regarding re-releases
by the_man_with_two_brains
Some films, no matter how many times you watch them on your home cinema system are best appreciated on the big screen. I pay £14.99 a month for unlimited cinema via Cineworld and I see just about everything I care to (except the odd one or two films I have no interest in), the cinema chain annoys me a little though because they decided not to screen Tree of Life or Troll Hunter instead opting for a 3 month run of Harry Potter, which I have no interest in. Anyway, re-release as many films as possible (and I'm not just talking classics), an eclectic mix of 2001, Blues Brothers, Animal Hosue, Ghostbusters, Terminator 2, Close Encounters, Independance Day and so on...why waste money remaking when you can re-release so much cheaper. Surely someone somewhere has linked DVD retail sales and can work out what films are regarded as repeat worthy.

For all the bitching that goes on in this site about Indy 4, did it ruin the original and your related "childhood"? Did the Jaws sequel where Jaws fights the Russian or whatever ruin Jaws? I didn't like Ghostbusters 2 or Back to the Future 3 but that has nothing to do with my enjoyment of the originals. Let them make GB3, if for no other reason than we can then stop hearing about how they're going to make GB3. You don't have to watch it.

a small, secondary distributor is providing prints for theaters to show in October. They've been doing it with GB for years, but this is the first time they're doing it on a slightly larger scale. Unfortunately, their FB happened to make mention of it, news sites picked up on it, and now people think a) the studio is actually behind it or promoting it b) it will be a big nationwide release on tons of screens c) these will be nice clean new prints none of those are true.

GB II didnt do well because it was EXTREMELY inferior to #1
by ShiftyEyedDog
I rushed to see it when it came out, but it was just a giant disappointment compared to the first that it didnt deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence. So I filed it under "sequels that dont exist" (along with Speed 2, Crow 2-19, Blues Brothers 2000, etc). I rewatched it not too long ago, and while still mediocre at best, its not the worst movie ever made. But its no surprise it didnt do near as well.

THIS should be what Hollywood does instead of Remakes!
by Topher4801
I really hope Ghostbusters comes back to my city. I still remember seeing it here in a now closed movie theatre and just loving it! Stop doing remakes and start bringing the originals back to theatres! Fix up the picture and sound and sent it back just like that. I would LOVE to see older movies like Red Dawn, Fright Night, hell even Footloose and Dirty Dancing in our modern theatres. And these are just a few of the movies being remade that I can think of off the top of my head.

"pay to see it with a bunch of assholes who won't shut up "
by Nasty In The Pasty
Um, if it's a reissue of a classic film, won't the audience consist mainly of people who have seen it before and WANT to see it on the big screen? I doubt today's teenagers would be lining up to see a limited run theatrical reissue of an "old" movie like Ghostbusters, so the audience would consist mainly of people who are old enough to have seen the movie when it was first released, and who would likely be quiet and respectful (except for laughing at the proper places).
Sept. 14, 2011, 9:33 a.m. CST
gee, just what I want
by coz
a 27 year old movie run through a modern projection system, has the thing been remastered at all? a few years back I went to see a special midnight screening of Wrath of Khan at the local AMC, I think it was an original print. It looked terrible and sounded worse, the single worst movie experience of my life, which really pissed me off because it's one of my favorite movies. I think I'll pass for two reasons: 1, I'm not going to pay money to watch a movie I can recite in my sleep, and 2, I'd rather stay at home and watch it in HD on my HT rig which looks and sounds excellent and isn't in a room full of noisy fucking children whose parents could give a shit less about their little demon-spawn running amok because they're too busy twittering on their iphones as far as a third movie goes, they missed the mark for that by about a decade and a half. you people who rag on the last Indy movie, you think that was bad... p.s., herc is still a juvenile shill

It was also a big seller on home video too. The Bond series was held up by legal problems, not the "failure" of Licence To Kill. Although you'll probably notice that since "Goldeneye", Bond films are released as Christmas blockbusters, rather than summer ones...

Destruction of film prints...
by the_patriot
On July 1st, Disney president of exhibitor relations and distribution Chuck Viane sent this letter out to theaters still equipped with and running 35mm film. Some theater owners have taken this as a threat while others such as drive-in owners see it as the end to their business. ---------------------------------- Dear Exhibitor: At the end of this month I conclude 40 years in exhibition and distribution. I do not want to make this transition without sharing my deep concern with you. Some of you are among the dwindling number still playing only 35mm prints, apparently without plans to migrate to digital cinema. Others of you have converted only a few screens. (For those of you who are in the majority who have committed to conversion, congratulations and you can stop reading!) The window of opportunity is closing for you to take advantage of our VPF contributions to convert to digital cinema. At the same time, 35mm print costs are rising as suppliers grapple with falling volumes and soaring input costs such as silver and oil. (Film stock costs are up about 20% in just the past year.) I can't predict when, but we may reach a point when it is no longer economic for us to supply film prints on the same terms we have in the past, or at all. Likewise, it may become uneconomic for our suppliers to remain in the 35mm print business. Under these circumstances, if you intend to remain a long term player in the theatrical exhibition business, why take the risk of the eroding economics and questionable prospects for 35mm? The question is particularly timely and urgent when you can still take advantage of limited-time distributor-subsidized programs to convert to digital cinema. I urge you, as a friend in exhibition, not to miss the best opportunity you will ever have to upgrade. For the sake of your business and the moviegoers that we serve, I urge you make the move to digital, and do it now. Very truly yours, Chuck Viane (contact info excised)

it seems to me...
by Chad
...that the reason the studios don't do a lot of rereleases of old movies is because people can watch old movies for dirt cheap in multiple ways. Sure, if they rereleased some iconic, popular films, they could probably make some quick cash, but they also risk making the cinematic experience start to feel like reruns of the experiences of yesteryear (if they end up doing a lot of rereleases). If they do that, they could erode the sales of new releases also--and the windows in which new releases have to make their money are so much smaller now than they used to be. The studios are only thinking about money. They may be wrong, or they may be right, but I for one have said many times it would be nice to go see the rerelease of (fill in the blank), but whenever a rerelease is around...I find I'd just rather stay at home. I've seen that movie a million times already. Watching a new movie, opening night, that turns out to be really good or iconic, with a group of people who are "in the moment" with you is the best cinematic experience. Watching an old movie with a group of people who all know the movie (like you do) like the back of their hands doesn't even compare. Some things just can't be recreated.

Dont agree with shitty DVD projection statement
by poseidon72
First off many theaters that are doing midnight and other revival showings are using Blu ray projection now. Ive backed more than a few at my local community theater showing Dawn of the Dead 78, The Towering Inferno, The Shining, Taxi Driver and Aliens and they have all looked and sounded great. Really great. Ive even watched standard DVD's projected- last week I watched The Dead Zone and it looked really good. While I understand if its a national release it should be 2k/4k but a standard midnight revival is more than fine shown in Blu ray projection. Dont give it a bad name because your wrong about that issue. A few months ago I went to NYC at the Clearview cinema and they showed The Poseidon Adventure using the remastered DVD and it looked great. Again if its a national re-release I agree with you but community revivals its not always realistic to get a 35mm print (they most likely are old and scratched).

Digital projection is better than nothing - and can look fantastic
by melonman
Couple of years ago I got the chance to see From Russia with Love, Manhattan, Raging Bull, The Thing, The Good, the bad and the Ugly and Spartacus on the big screen. Digital reissues. And they looked amazing. No matter how good your home cinema is, it's still beaten hands down by a cinema experience. So digital screenings should be applauded as manna from heaven for cinephiles. And rkdn is right - rereleases did use to be standard policy for cinemas. I remember Bond/Pink Panther double bills still being popular into the 80s.
Sept. 14, 2011, 2:50 p.m. CST
jacobfromlost ... i disagree
by treatment
sure, watching a new movie, opening night, that turns out to be really good or iconic, with a group of people who are "in the moment" with me is a great cinematic experience. however, watching an old movie with a group of people who all know the movie (like I do) like the back of our hands is far better. nostalgia trumps all dude/dudette.
Sept. 14, 2011, 3:12 p.m. CST
Agreed, do this more often with ALL classics...
by SK229
I love the idea of a Halloween/Elm Street double bill for Halloween. If you live in L.A. and love movies, you know about The New Beverly, Egyptian, and Aero. The Egyptian, in particular, plays a lot of my favorite double bills. My fave so far was Alien/Aliens a while back. People in every city should get to experience this. I just think every studio could brand it "Universal Classics" or 'Warner Brothers' classics... it's a fun thing to do on a Friday night before going out for some drinks. I must say, though, that the worst city, BY FAR, and the one that should be among the best at doing this, is NEW YORK. Worst fucking venues imaginable except for the one month out of the year at the Ziegfeld when they'll do this (not even sure they still do it) and NO love given to classic cinema. Now, if it's a bunch of pretentious indie shit with no actual substance and no entertainment value or even a fucking brain behind it, then NYC is your city. L.A. is the fucking mecca of movie-going, as it should be, but even in Silver Spring, Maryland, where I worked for a bit, they have the AFI theater that just showed Blade Runner and Die Hard last month, among MANY others, including a Dennis Hopper tribute and, I think, a Lethal Weapon marathon. But yeah, I think studios are throwing money away by not figuring out how to combine these screenings with blu-ray/book/merch sales in the lobby, and poster sales. Also, just to engage your audience more and brand your future content the way studios used to do. It's really a hidden revenue stream, figuring out how to tap nostalgia in myriad ways while offering the ability to revisit the classics in a wider release.
Sept. 14, 2011, 3:15 p.m. CST
Fuck, just project off of a blu-ray...
by SK229
They're technically 2k, aren't they? And by the time you get to see a print of a film, it's usually beat to shit and UNDER 2k, especially these classic movies where I don't think you can justify the cost of making new prints unless there's a huge potential upside. I see it more as a cool, quiet thing they do that doesn't have to justify a huge expense, but it sort of has tentacles reaching into other areas where the studios CAN make a lot of money by engaging their audience... fuck social media, how about SOCIAL EXPERIENCES, which is what watching a classic film in a theater full of moviegoers is all about.
Sept. 14, 2011, 3:46 p.m. CST
by WeylandYutani
Agreed. I think Dalton gets unfairly criticized. I am not a fan of LTK, but I thought The Living Daylights had some great moments and was a good cold war action adventure. It would have been great to see Dalton in another Bond. As for Brosnan, he never got a fair shake either... the man was born to play the part, but as you suggest, the scripts mostly failed him - Why they insisted on goofiness for so long is beyond me. Only after the Bourne films came out did EON get their act together. Craig's two outings have been good IMO... CR was probably one of the best of the entire series, due in most part to the source material. I was less warm to the followup, but it was far better than many of Bond's poorest outings. As a very weird side note: While I was in university, I had a prof that was a former intelligence officer for CSIS and lectured a course on 20th century international relations and military history. He claimed that he once saw a demonstration where a defense company made a Humvee (sort of) disappear. He said it was totally impractical but that it showcased the crazy shit that outfits like DARPA work on. In retrospect I wonder if he was just fucking with us, but at the time he seemed very matter-of-fact. So perhaps invisible Bond mobiles are not as far fetched as it seems.

Yes, the tech for the invisible car was being worked on

Before Die Another Day. Doesn't make the execution in the film any less silly. Brosnan was my favorite Bond behind Connery and besides DAD, I don't think his movies were bad. GoldenEye was actually really good.

The theatrical experience beats the home experience HANDS DOWN! For you kids too young to have seen it originally, Jurassic Park is a singularly AWESOME theatrical experience. Ghostbusters - I saw on a theatrical release in about 1988, theatrical rereleasing used to be commonplace. I'm telling you - the past is the future!
Sept. 14, 2011, 6:33 p.m. CST
Yes please, more re-releases!
by Jason Moore
One of our local Regal theaters used to run Flashback Flicks and the screenings were always packed, even during summer when there were shiny new movies to choose from. Got to see all the Indiana Jones films, plus Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Goonies, Breakfast Club, Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail... hell, they showed Jaws on Thanksgiving night one year and it sold out. There's definitely a demand. I wish studios would do this more often instead of investing in feeble remakes that shit all over the memory of the original.

Agreed about the silly execution of invisible cars. As for Goldeneye, I think it fell into a lot of goofiness traps that were common for Bond films before the series reboot a few years back... But to each their own. They also spent screen time setting up that BMW and then it was never used?! Sometimes EON makes odd script choices.

Now with super enhanced special effects! The Demon Dogs are now re-imagined in glorious CGI!

More rereleases and less remakes!
by CuervoJones
Sept. 15, 2011, 10:55 a.m. CST
Rereleases would be great, but if they think I am going to pay the same price as a first run film, they are batshit crazy.
by HarrysNemesis
Please don't tell me they are going to want to charge me $7-10 just to rewatch a movie whose production has already been paid for, right??
Sept. 15, 2011, 9:12 p.m. CST
Is it a re-release or a single showing?
by Autodidact
From what I can see it's a single showing on Halloween night?
Sept. 15, 2011, 9:13 p.m. CST
I will go, by the way
by Autodidact
I need to see more re-releases of movies I never got to see on the big screen. Seeing the Alien director's cut in 2003 was fucking amazing, still one of the best times I've had at the cinema.
Sept. 16, 2011, 9:03 p.m. CST

This Undead Pirate Does Not Support Taxpayer-Funded Bank Bailouts
by Ian Chillag
Explore this
Reported by
Ian Chillag
Let's say you're a fatcat banker and recipient of a taxpayer-funded bailout, looking out into the crowd protesting you. Does the terrifying undead pirate make you think differently about taking the bailout? Or do you think, if the terrifying undead pirate is against me, maybe I'm the good guy?
Really the whole thing would be a lot more interesting if it was Wall Street Bankers versus Army of Undead Pirates.

Several farmers in the area surrounding Kokomo are turning to organic farming.
Some of them say they're making the switch for personal health reasons. Others say they like selling their produce face-to-face at local farmers' markets.
Chemical-free produce accounted for about 4% of U.S. food sales in 2011. But the organic food sector grew by $2.5 billion that same year.
Jay Martin says he started growing his own crops after he decided the food he was eating was contributing to his high blood pressure. Now, he and his wife Gena run a company that sells beef from grass-fed cattle and produce from their 30-acre farm about 16 miles west of Kokomo.

text: Do you guys think we would have lost these last 2 games if we wouldn't have traded Talib away? I really think we would have won them especially the Atlanta game! Thats how I feel after watching, How do you guys think they would have went?I Honestly believe were only losing because We don't have a number 1 corner on the field. On another note Im strongly starting to wonder if we should take a strong pass rushing DT in the 2nd round of the draft We are getting no pressure on the QB the last couple games also Bowers looked great we need to leave him on the field more I hate that they keep subbing him out Hes good at everything.

Duffy Conroy has finished his eighth season as an assistant coach in Milwaukee for Rob Jeter.
At UWM, Conroy participates in the recruiting, scouting and on-court coaching aspects of the program.
"This has been a great opportunity to get to work under Coach Jeter, who has had a great influence on me over the years," Conroy said. "It was very exciting to come back to UWM, where I started my collegiate coaching career, and it is great to be building on the winning tradition of the program."
Conroy spent the 2004-05 season as the director of basketball operations at Wisconsin before starting his second stint at UWM. He served as an administrative assistant for Bo Ryan during the 2000-01 season in Milwaukee, and then moved to Madison with Ryan, where he was the video coordinator for two seasons.
He took over head coaching and athletic director duties at his alma mater, Assumption High School, for the 2003-04 school year before returning to Madison for the 2004-05 season.
In his second stint at Wisconsin, Conroy was responsible for the day-to-day operational aspects of the program, including travel and budget matters.
"Duffy was one of my first recruits and I always respected his work-ethic as a student-athlete," Jeter said. "He does a great job of relating to the players and the experience he gained as both a high school head coach and athletic director is invaluable. He has worked hard to earn this opportunity, starting as a video coordinator, moving to basketball operations and getting a chance to be an assistant coach."
In both of his stays at Wisconsin, Conroy was a part of the incredible success the Badgers enjoyed under Jeter and Ryan. Conroy was part of the Badgers' staff as they won back-to-back Big Ten regular-season titles for the first time in school history and advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2003.
Then in 2004-05, Conroy was back on the staff as Wisconsin made a run to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. In all, the Badgers won 68 games in the three seasons Conroy worked at the school.
Conroy played basketball at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. A two-time all-conference performer and team captain, Conroy led St. Ambrose to three appearances in the NAIA Tournament. St. Ambrose won 20 games during his junior campaign and then 26 games during his senior season. That year, he averaged more than 10 points, five rebounds and four assists per game in earning honorable mention All-America honors. He finished his career with more than 1,000 points.
Conroy, who was born in Naperville, Ill., was an all-state football and basketball player at Davenport Assumption High School. And, Conroy comes from a college basketball family, as his brother, Ed, is the head coach at Tulane.
He and his wife, Nikki, have two sons, Callum and Macklin, along with a daughter, Keeva.

Daniel Schorr - Seriously Newsy

Okay... So, for a long time (when I was but a small child), I thought that Daniel Schorr was just a longtime NPR reporter. That is until I was sternly told that this was a genuine journalistic icon, who made started with CBS in the Edward R. Murrow days, and earned a place on Nixon's enemies list for his coverage of Watergate. Here's the other thing about him — he's so charming and still incisive that it's hard to believe he's 91. He has a new book out, and since he and Neal are old friends (Schorr was the first host of TOTN! When it was still untitled, of course), we asked him to come by and reminisce. This hour is simply a New Years gift to you — from us. Enjoy.
