The 33rd Annual Razzie Awards Nominate All the Usual Crap
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhile many would like to think that snark was something born of the Internet age, the fact that the Razzie Awards for Worst Achievements in Film are now in their thirty-third year pretty demonstrably proves that to be untrue. There's an uncomfortable truth at the center of all this, which is, to snark, to pass judgment, to make fun of things that fail publicly and spectacularly—it's all kind of fun, at least in a sick way. If it wasn't, something like The Razzies wouldn't be able to stick around this long. In recent years, however, the film industry's laser focus on building franchises and sticking to the same formulas has taken a little bit of the fun out of seeing who gets picked on for being the worst of the year. A crop of usual suspects has developed, making the announcement that the latest Twilight movie and the latest Adam Sandler comedy have earned the lion's share of the nominations something of a tedious formality. So, here we are, having yet again sat through another Twilight movie and another Adam Sandler comedy, and, sure enough, it seems that they've once again gotten the bulk of the nominations. If there's any new narrative going on, it's that Madea's Witness Protection seems to have annoyed the people who vote for the Golden Raspberries more than usual. Perhaps that's due to Jack & Jill making men in drag a more contemptible offense after last year, or perhaps it's because they're trying to set […]
'Dog Day Afternoon' Tells Its Own Tale of Civil Unrest, But Still Isn't as Funny as 'Airheads'
Features By Nathan Adams on October 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentSidney Lumet's 1975 tale of a bank robbery gone bad, Dog Day Afternoon, is not only considered to be a high point in the careers of both its director as well as its star, Al Pacino, it's also considered to be one of the key films that was a part of the New Hollywood movement, which started in the late '60s and continued through to the blockbusters of the 80s. New Hollywood was all about a generation of filmmakers making films that were artsier, grittier, and more experimental than most commercial fare, all from within the confines of the studio system. But while Dog Day Afternoon and its tale of cross-dressing and violent crimes certainly looks at home under that classification, is it really good enough to be mentioned in the same breath as stuff like Bonnie and Clyde, The Godfather, or Mean Streets? The early '90s saw one of the biggest boom periods in the history of sketch comedy mainstay Saturday Night Live. Cast members like Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Adam Sandler, and Chris Farley led the show to probably its most critically successful period since the original cast, and pretty much everyone on the show went on to become a star in film. Out of all of these talented comedians, however, none became quite as successful as Sandler. After starring in Billy Madison in 1995, he was off to the races, earning big paychecks, pulling in big box office dollars, and gobbling up media attention. Some of his […]
Blood, Sweat and Latex: Does Wearing Witch Make-Up Constitute Cross-Dressing?
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on July 4, 2011 | Comments (3)In 1983, the California Institute of the Arts, being a liberal arts college in, what was then, a remote part of the Santa Clarita Valley had garnered a few reputations. It was not unusual to see helicopters hovering around the dormitory on weekends because of the "clothes optional" pool (if you enjoyed seeing naked hippy-types). There were also the drugs. It was well known that on the west side of the dorm building was the "fourth floor walk up" which was the only floor not accessible by an elevator. I visited that corridor once and it was like walking into an opium den. The air was thick with marijuana smoke and half of the dorm room doors were open all of the time. However, I believe what CalArts had become most infamous for was their Halloween party. Every year, attending students and alumni who were fortunate to call in early and request tickets would gather in the Main Gallery room for a party that resembled something out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting. You name it; it was there. I can best illustrate with this short story:
Joe and Jerry are two musicians who see a mob murder and decide to go into hiding in an all-female band. The gorgeous Sugar Kane Kowalcyk is part of the troupe, which might just be two good reasons to stay in hiding.

8 Stocks Hitting New Highs Today
BioMarin Pharmaceutical
BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN - Get Report) develops and commercializes pharmaceuticals for serious diseases and medical conditions. This stock is trading up 1.1% to $36.00 in recent trading after hitting a 52-week high of $36.13 earlier in the day.
Today's Range: $35.47-$36.13
52-Week Range: $23.09-$35.94 Volume: 225,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 803,464 BioMarin Pharmaceutical has a market cap of $4.11 billion and an enterprise value of $4.19 billion. This stock trades at a price-to-sales of 9.34 and a price-to-book of 5.25. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -120.2%, and for next year it's pegged at 8.6%. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for BioMarin Pharmaceutical is notable at 6.8%. From a technical standpoint, BMRN has started to trigger a major breakout trade today now that the stock is taking out some past overhead resistance at $35.47 to $35.56. The only thing lacking on this breakout is heavy volume, since only 225,000 shares have traded versus its average volume of 803,463. That said, price always trumps volume, so if BMRN can sustain a move and close over $35.56, then it has a shot at trading back toward its all-time high at $40. Traders should continue to monitor the volume in the coming days to see if it firms up, and continue to look for long-biased trades as long as BMRN continues its trend above $35.47 to $35.56. As of the most recently reported quarter, BioMarin is one of the top holdings in Columbia Wanger Asset Management's portfolio.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

POSTED: Thursday, April 4, 2013 - 2:29pm
UPDATED: Thursday, April 4, 2013 - 3:06pm
(NBC News) — A public memorial for Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, was held at a Baptist church in Sunnyvale, TX Thursday afternoon.
The McLellands were found shot to death in their Kaufman County home on Saturday.
Authorities have not said if their deaths are connected to the murder of the county's assistant DA Mike Hasse two months ago.
Their funerals will take place Friday in Wortham.
As Texas and the nation mourn the loss of District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Governor Rick Perry says he will leave no stone unturned in tracking down the killer.
"We are a small county, we are a close knit county, as you are aware," said Kaufman County Judge Bruce Wood. "We have a small courthouse but we work very well together and these folks are family, our courthouse family, and we love them dearly and loved the work that they did, the passion they had for the job that they were assigned to do."
The Governor offered a $100,000 reward for any information leading to the killer. This doubles the total reward to $200,000.
"It is our hope and expectation that these rewards will help convince those who may be holding information to come forward," Perry said.

I have a Curly Leaf Croton that is about 4 years old, and for some reason, it has been dropping leaves throughout this whole growing season.
I could be wrong, but I don't believe that it's root bound, because the size of the pot that it's in, looks as though there's still plenty of root space in comparison to the size of the plant. Anyone's help will be much appreciated! Thanks,

Entercom Communications has suspended Kirk Minihane, a co-host on WEEI's "Dennis and Callahan" morning show, for a week as a result of the uproar following insulting comments he made more than a week ago about Fox Sports sideline reporter Erin Andrews.
Station management had initially said that it would not discipline Minihane over the Andrews comments. Minihane was away for a week due to a preplanned vacation, and when he returned on Wednesday he apologized about his choice of words before again harshly criticizing Andrews, saying that if she weighed 15 pounds more she would "be a waitress at Perkins."
On Friday, however, The Boston Globe reported that the Fox Broadcasting Company had decided to pull all advertising from WEEI and other stations owned by parent company Entercom. Fox personalities were also barred from appearing on Entercom stations, according to the report.
The Globe obtained a copy of a letter from Fox Sports president Eric Shanks to Entercom president and CEO David Field.
"As we have previously stated to various media outlets, the comments made by Mr. Minihane were boorish and sexist," the letter said, in part. "Further, the 'apology' made by Mr. Minihane was juvenile and insincere. To make matters worse, the 'apology' was posted under a banner (allegedly approved by your Boston VP and Market Manager, Phil Zachary) hailing 'The Triumphant Return of Kirk Minihane.'"
The news that Minihane was suspended came just hours after the report.
"Kirk Minihane's statements regarding Erin Andrews were offensive and deplorable. It is clear by the response from our listeners, advertisers and employees that Kirk's efforts to apologize and make this right have been insufficient and ambiguous," according to a statement, attributed to Field, reported by Boston media outlets. "We want to make it unequivocally clear that his comments were unacceptable and do not reflect Entercom's values and standards. As a result, we have suspended Kirk for the upcoming week."

Researcher Kamal Meattle shows how an arrangement of three common houseplants, used in specific spots in a home or office building, can result in measurably cleaner indoor air. - Via TED I know the power of plants, but this video really is a fantastic reminder. I'm going to go get some money plants this weekend and turn my home office into a little jungle. Maybe even turn my house into a little retreat center. You know what would be really cool? I'd love to see the results of study that measured how blood oxygen levels are effected by green juice. People are always saying green juice is like liquid oxygen. Not sure how it compares, but one thing is for sure, my productivity certainly goes up after 32 ounces of kale, cucumber, celery. Big ups to my Indian brother Mr Kamal Meattle. |
