Out with radio, in with digital? ABC tries to remain a global broadcaster
Without a television network, are you still an international broadcaster? The ABC has a plan, but after absorbing 80 redundancies, some insiders are sceptical.
The ABC yesterday informed staff in its Southbank Melbourne headquarters that up to 80 of them would be made redundant. The redundancies will be forced — divisions are being cleared out, and while the union says staff targeted for the chop will be able to argue for their redeployment based on set criteria, the default setting is that they will be shown the door.
According to the Community and Public Sector Union, this will affect 34 people in the Melbourne-based Asia Pacific News Centre, and another 46 in the ABC's international division, who will be made redundant two weeks from now. The entire English-language division of Radio Australia will go, and there will be reduced staffing across all language programs.
It's unlikely most Australians will notice. With the exception of ABC News24's The World, which has lost its correspondents and been cut from one hour to a half-hour program, no local programs are affected. Insiders say there was already relatively little collaboration between the journalists in Radio Australia and the domestic stations. The impact will be quarantined.
The redundancies are the result of the loss of the Australia Network contract, and come a week after the ABC finalised the circumstances around the contract's loss with DFAT. The redundancies don't appear to be inspired by the other cut to the ABC in the federal budget (a funding cut of 1%). So staff are bracing for more to come. A broader reshuffle, likely accompanied by further job losses, is expected in late July or August. Crikey understands the ABC is currently in negotiations with Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull's office about the further savings identified in the Lewis Review, which could see funding cut further. Many within the Coalition are gunning for a 4% cut — a figure widely quoted in the News Corp press.
But any further cuts are unlikely to impact the international division as much as the loss of the Australia Network. That's slashed 60% of the budget the ABC allocates to its international division. As the dust settles, staff are questioning how the ABC could meet its international obligations as outlined in its charter in section 6-1-b, which requires the ABC to "transmit" to countries outside Australia a mixture of news, current affairs, entertainment and "cultural enrichment".
The loss of the Australia Network stripped more than $200 million from the ABC budget over 10 years — all of this would have otherwise gone to international broadcasting. Quentin Dempster, the host of 7.30 NSW and former staff-elected ABC board member, described the loss of the Australia Network as "vandalism of the national interest" when he spoke to Crikey today.
"Some insiders have speculated that the ABC's redundancies are forced because it doesn't want to lose staff who produce for television."
"The government has made it clear it wants propaganda to be broadcast into the region rather than audiences there actually seeing Australian journalism, analysis and programming contribute to a robust, informed and engaged liberal democracy resonating through the region," he told Crikey. "The remnants of the ABC's international broadcasting effort will be weakened as a consequence. Regional partnerships built up over years have been destroyed."
ABC management has been speaking of how to meet its charter obligations after the loss of the Network. Some insiders have speculated that the ABC's redundancies are forced because it doesn't want to lose staff who produce for television. ABC News24 can be digitally streamed into Asia.
Speaking to Crikey this morning, ABC International spokesman John Woodward stressed the ABC would continue to broadcast into the region, despite a cut in funding forcing some changes. "The new, reduced model has been designed to meet to the best of our ability the audiences that we know have an interest in Australia … through radio, through a limited television offering, and through digital means."
According to the CPSU, here's what will remain of the ABC's international broadcasting. Radio Australia will continue to be streamed 24/7, despite the loss of many of its journalists. The Australia Network will be replaced by a six-hour regional broadcast into the Pacific, for which content will be sourced from other ABC programs and the ABC's syndication partners. Australia Plus, the online portal for ABC content accessible internationally, will remain as is.
Some have speculated that after the loss of the Australia Network, ABC News24 could be broadcast in its place. But Crikey understands this would be too expensive — the main cost of running the Australia Network has always been the transponders into the region rather than the cost of the journalism.
That leaves the internet. Even before the loss of the Australia Network contract, Woodward says the ABC was looking at digital broadcasting, particularly in Asia, where he says that's where the audience is moving anyway. "Our research into audience behaviour shows mobile particularly being used to access our content. Mobile offers us one of the best opportunities [to be an international broadcaster], and it's getting stronger, not weaker".
The redundancies are, as always, an attempt to do more with less. The ABC, Woodward says, is now in the process of talking to staff and the union about how to meet its international obligations. "Certainly with a reduction in funds, there's a reduction in services," he says. "But we are working as hard as we possibly can to maintain as much of our audience connections, our partnerships and syndication that we possibly can. We have very strong partnerships throughout Asia … and we will continue to work those partners and leverage them as well as we can."
Some insiders were pessimistic. As one veteran pointed out, the ABC's charter obligations have been pursued with varying degrees of vigour. "The charter hasn't been stuck to in the past — it can be easily disregarded," one said.

NO CUTS TO THE ABC. That was the catch cry before the election. Can you can imaging how bad it would be if they hadn't made that "promise"?
I feel this be the thin end of a very large pineapple being applied to the ABC. For there are those, lurking in the shadows out to the right, who would happily see the ABC (effectively) shut down. Or at least have its voice diminished and controlled.
Baby steps at first, but they will steadily nibble away until they have satisfied their agenda.
Here be a cartoon on it …

Shared intelligence makes for peace between nations. Without Australian journalists speaking from the ground throughout Asia, we are creating a more dangerous and ultimately more expensive place for ourselves and neighbours who have come to rely on ABC analyses.

The ABC needs to think about more resource-sharing or even merging its Pacific operation with NZ's national broadcasters.
The ABC, Radio New Zealand, and TVNZ are the only western media organisations with any on-the-ground presence in the Pacific. The operations of each in the region are underfunded and under-resourced.
Each has a limited number of journalists unable to adequately cover stories across the region. Each broadcasts into the region on a shoestring budget, which has either been frozen or cut in recent years.
The objectives of all three broadcasters in the region are much the same - to assist Pacific broadcaster by providing free content, to provide scrutiny of Pacific governments (which receive substantial aid from Australia and NZ), to promote awareness of their own country in the Pacific, and to increase awareness of the Pacific in their own countries.
It would make much more sense if they pooled their resources and created a single, credible Pacific news and broadcasting organisation. It would provide a better service for Pacific Islanders and for domestic audiences, who would gain access to a wider range of journalism on Pacific issues. One truly good service would be much better than three cut-price ones.
Establishing a single Pacific broadcasting service would also serve Australia and NZ's national interests well. Our interests in the Pacific are practically identical and we should work together to further these.
Other countries (particularly China) are taking an increasing interest in the Pacific and devoting resources to extending their broadcasting footprint. If Australia and NZ want to maintain their influence, they need to counter this - this is best achieved by working together.

Ok, the battle lines are drawn. Now let's see the non-Coalition aligned parties step up to the plate with their strategic plan for the ABC. Or does Aunty fall into a similar bogan mind-set as asylum seekers and is thus too hot a potato as far as votes vs philosophy?

Cuts to Radio Australia are a great loss. China Radio International dominates Asia / Pacific broadcasting but is little more than propaganda and soft stories. RNZ and RA are the beacons of journalism for the region but are slowly being ground to dust.
8T.D.G.Posted Wednesday, 16 July 2014 at 12:28 am | Permalink
Yes, that's exactly the problem rubbersoul1991. China is throwing ever more money at beaming propaganda into the region. Meanwhile the Australian and NZ governments are not only failing to keep pace, but cutting resources. Unfortunately, it is hard to see anything changing here - consistently conservative governments cut funding to these services and Labour governments, at best, maintain the funding arrangements they inherit.
In an ideal world, Australia and NZ would each still have a strong international broadcasting presence in the Pacific and Asia. In the current circumstances of ever-diminishing funding, this is impossible. Either we'll have to accept having a multitude of sub-standard services or seek to pool the limited resources that are provided to make something better.

It was http://movieweb.com/the-three-stooges-gets-will-sasso-as-curly/announced late yesterday that Will Sasso has been confirmed for the role of Curly in Peter and Bobby Farrelly's long gestating The Three Stooges comedy. The sibling directors are continuing to look for their two remaining Stooges.
Today, Hank Azaria has immerged as the front-runner to play nihilistic and abusive brother Moe, a role originated by Moe Howard. This proves that the Farrelly Brothers are casting as much on looks as they are on talent. Both Hank Azaria and Will Sasso are dead ringers for their characters.Read More

[Review] "The X-Files": 'Home Again'
A satisfying, disturbing 'X-Files' hits both the frightening and the familial in an episode that you shouldn't even try to logically explain
"It's not alive. It's not dead."
Oh, that episode of The X-Files where a homeless person's thoughts manifest themselves into vengeful murderous trash? Yeah, I remember that one.
That very well might be the legacy that "Home Again" leaves behind. And that's not a bad thing.
Officially past the halfway point now, this episode comes courtesy of Glen Morgan. Much like James Wong, Glen Morgan knows how to do horror, and the cold open for this episode is some classic slow burning dread. The stage is effectively set with the backdrop of relocating housing projects and the rolling progress of gentrification, but then before you know it you're screaming at the legitimately terrifying stuff that's happening on the screen. Much like what we saw with his brother last week, Morgan hasn't lost his touch and seeing him tap into this heavy horror monster-of-the-week vein is deeply gratifying. If anyone checked out his promising-yet-cancelled Intruders, you got to see him flexing a bit of this muscle, but he really let's loose here. The sequence set to Petula Clark's "Downtown" or the final set piece with Landry are exercises in tension that show you how far Morgan has come. It really is a shame that he didn't catch on as more of a horror feature director because the talent is obviously there. There are moments here where it feels like he's intentionally trying to outdo and outgore his work in "Home" (if the title alone is any indication), and I'd say that he manages to pull it off…in fact he pulls both of them off, right from the torso.
Morgan's directorial eye is also at display here, with a number of gorgeous shots and creative filming styles, like mounted cameras, adding some nice touches that amp up the atmosphere. There's a particularly beautiful/gratuitous shot of Mulder and Scully's flashlight beams ("Back in the day, is now.") crossing and making an X as they descend into the unknown. It's a very pretty episode to look at. Carter has gone on to say that this was the most expensive episode of the season to produce (which includes the crazy UFO and explosion special effects that went down in the premiere), but none of that money is that obvious (other than the ripping effect).
Once again, a very traditional sort of story sees itself being told here when a string of city officials are murdered in a way that defies all conventional logic. They're murders that scream monster-of-the-week, and our intrepid FBI agents even acknowledge its on-its-sleeve-spookiness from the jump.
Morgan gets to push all of his favorite buttons here between inexplicable monsters, technology, and the big one—Scully's family. I suppose it wouldn't be a return to The X-Files without something horrible happening to one of Scully's family members. Morgan effectively balances Scully opting out to deal with her ailing mother, while Mulder gets the opportunity to go "Full Mulder" here with a case that's perfect for his limitless imagination. Not having Scully as the usual sounding board is exactly what he needs for these unexplainable murders. Also, for those that have been hungry for that snarky, sardonic Mulder, "Home Again" is going to make you happy. There are tons of instantly quotable one-liners at Mulder's ready.
Scully delving back into her family life ends up seguing rather organically (which can be the case when pretty much every male in your family has the name "William") into her woes of putting William up for adoption. Carter has spoken about how "Home Again" was originally slated to be the second episode of this revival, which means all of this William discussion here was meant to happen before what we saw in Wong's "Founder's Mutation." This doesn't change a lot, but it does show Scully dealing with this trauma alone, and unsure of herself, before she ultimately decides to push it further with Mulder, which we saw in the second episode. There's heavier motivation to that action now. It's got the weight of her mother's last words, even. Those that have been looking for the entry of this season that gets to be the breakout Gillian Anderson vehicle where she gets to show what she's capable of, look no further than "Home Again." Anderson really kills it here, but Mulder's pained looks at her as she compartmentalizes and forces herself back to work are equally devastating. And on the inverse, it's nice to see that after thirteen years Bill Scully is just as much the asshole brother as he always was, too.
What I kind of love about this episode—and this isn't necessarily saying that it's a good thing—is the entry tying its monster to some ridiculous, unrelated concept. In this case: homeless people, graffiti, and tulku Buddhism. There are so many early X-Files that decide to throw in an element like some "Magical Homeless Man" and cryptic nomenclature like "The Band-Aid Nose Man" just to pad out the supernatural aspect that's going on. Again, this might not be good writing per se (this honestly feels like Gilliam's The Fisher King mixed with Guillermo Del Toro's Mimic more than it should), but it distinctly feels X-Files-ian, and Morgan does a flawless job at harkening that tone. The idea of the collective plight of the homeless personifying itself into some horrible crusader doesn't make any sense, but it fits, y'know? I mean, this whole thing is basically a big, fat parable for "People treat each other like trash", but it somehow sells itself. The classic storytelling also only makes the horror of The Band-Aid Nose Man (or "Trash Man," to each their own) hit all the harder when special effects and filmmaking have improved considerably since the show ended.
Watching the mystery of "Home Again" unspool is part of the fun, and as you begin to connect the dots between these disparate elements and figure out how this Trash Man can be neither living nor dead, the madness only becomes more entertaining. The end of this sees Mulder and Scully tag-teaming the monster and basically getting a big ramble of nonsense to explain it all. Like so many X-Files episodes, this one doesn't try to explain the specifics, and Mulder and Scully really don't do anything to stop this carnage. Everyone on the Trash Man's kill list gets theirs, and then this monstrosity ceases to be. Frankly, I didn't need an explanation and the episode's decision to coast more on tone than logic worked for me just fine.
What didn't exactly work for me however are the connections that the episode tries to make between the enlightened nature of the Trash Man, and Mulder and Scully's child. There are a lot of superfluous flashbacks and attempts to tie things together that are treated like there's a larger pattern at work, but there really isn't. I suppose it's fair to reason that Scully is incredibly emotionally fragile at this moment, so these leaps in vulnerability that she's taking aren't exactly out of character. The show has certainly made bolder claims in the past, but this still felt a little inorganic to me.
The episode's final thoughts focus on an introspective, albeit overdue, moment between Scully and Mulder. The idea of turning Scully's "quest" for William and plaguing her with these unanswerable questions as her own "Samantha Mulder" equivalent is an interesting move by the show ("I want to believe—I need to believe—that we didn't treat him like trash."). This episode very much sets up William to be Scully's ultimate payoff in the same way that The Truth is Mulder's, and I suppose I'm okay with that. It's really the biggest piece of lingering mythology for the show to address, so it's focus makes plenty of sense. Any symmetry is nice, and more than anything it seems like this path is taking us down to a William reunion either when the finale, or inevitable next movie, take place. Mulder, Scully, and William somehow ending up as one happy family wouldn't be the worst ending for the show that I can think of. They've certainly ended the solitude at this point.
Until then, let's all keep searching for the dark wizards in our lives.
Jared Masters' Ballet of Blood Pirouettes Onto VOD This March
I've been looking forward to director Jared Masters' exploitation flick Ballet of Blood since reading Staci Layne Wilson's interview with the guy last year. Masters' love of old-school exploitation seems to have heavily influenced the film, which takes a look at some blood-drenched tomfoolery at a ballet school. As you can see from the trailer and artwork below, it looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Fortunately, the folks at Gravitas Ventures plan to release the movie on VOD next month. Start practicing those pirouettes now! Those suckers are exceptionally hard to master.
From the Press Release:
Ballet of Blood, the 9th feature film by Jared Masters, has been picked up for distribution by Gravitas Ventures. It will have a vast cross-platform VOD release March 1, 2016.
What critics are saying: "A lot of potential to plumb… Solid… Fun… Compelling… Extremely poetic… Complex and intriguing… BALLET OF BLOOD delivers big ideas … I appreciated a lot." – Ain't It Cool News.
The motion picture won Audience Choice Award at the 2015 RIP International Horror Film Festival. It was also nominated for Best Acting Ensemble and Best Editing. It should also appear on DVD very soon (a rare VHS is currently available on eBay for $89).
Synopsis: After years of emotional abuse and body shaming, two ballerina's drug-fueled fantasy, of viciously attacking their ballet school, becomes reality. Meanwhile, a nerdy ballerina starts writing a novel based on the events that transpired, deeply offending some for turning such sensitive material into a book, for young audiences. Soon, her and her sister realize every word being typed is somehow altering real life. Will this strange and psychedelic paralleling fantasy carry the sisters, along with anyone else, to a merciless blood-splattered doom?
The film stars Sydney Ray and Jessica Knopf, as the partners in crime. Laura Amelia as the dance teacher, Delphine, and Julia Faye West as company co-owner. The film also features Mindy Robinson as the prima ballerina, with Walter Hochbrueckner, Vera R. Taylor, Rubi Garcia, Marla Martinez, Jacqueline Marie Alberto, Dawna Lee Heising, Dallas Chandler, Krystall Schott, Georgie Borchardt, Sky Patterson, Christopher Arias, Kimberly Cohen, Robert Evans and Marylyn Brooks.
Produced by Julia Faye West, Sydney Raye, Vera R. Taylor, Walter Hochbrueckner, John Gonatos, Mikko Tervonen, Michael Anthony and Bouvier. Production design by Mystic Marlow. Art Direction by Ryan Henneman. Sound by Jean-Paul Inesta, stills by Mark Rakocy, script editing by H. Raven Rose. Written and directed by Jared Masters.
Some artwork and a nifty trailer for Ballet of Blood reside in below.

The 'Bloodborne' "Saw Cleaver" Comes to Life
The folk over at Man At Arms: Reforged have done it again!
This time, the crew over at Baltimore Knife & Steel have taken the cover weapon from Bloodborne, which made Adam's Top 5 games of 2015, and brought it to life using a ton of metal, grinding, and welding, ultimately creating a weapon that looks as weathered and battle-tested as it does vicious and devastating.

Walmart Strikes Again! Midnight Releasing Issues Gore-Free Silent Retreat Artwork
Ah, Walmart. The company that will graciously sell me a vast array of deadly hunting equipment apparently has a big problem with a little fake blood. Shortly after forcing Dark Sky Films to release its insanely enjoyable horror flick Deathgasm under the alternate title Heavy Metal Apocalypse (complete with piss-poor artwork), the largest retailer in the country is strongarming the folks over at Midnight Releasing to issue a more consumer-friendly cover for its release Silent Retreat. Apparently, a severed tongue in a tiny box is one toke over the line, so to speak.
Instead, director Ace Jordan's movie now features a picture of a house. In the dark. With an upstairs light illuminating a window. Although you shouldn't judge a movie by its cover, sometimes indie filmmakers rely on cool artwork to coax uninformed shoppers to splurge on their endeavor. The original Silent Retreat art was pretty strong — it would certainly catch your attention if you were mindlessly perusing the movie section in the middle of the night. The other one, well, not so much.
You can check out some pics of both the original Silent Retreat artwork and the admittedly weaksauce alternate version below. Here's hoping that Walmart's questionable shenanigans don't hurt sales in the long run. After all, trying to sell your wares in a crowded market is hard enough without a retailer mucking things just to keep the pearl clutchers from raising a stink.
And if you'd like to know more about the movie, you can point your browsers in the direction of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or the official Midnight Releasing website. Never let it be said that you didn't have a plethora of options available at your fingertips.

Riley Smith Lands the Lead in The CW's Frequency Reimagining
We told you at the end of January that The CW has a "reimagining" of the film Frequency in the works as a possible series with some gender swapping, and today we have the first casting news. Since the project was written by "Supernatural" showrunner Jeremy Carver, we figured it's worth at least a mention.
Per Deadline, Riley Smith ("True Blood," "The Messengers," "True Detective") will portray Frank Sullivan, the dead detective character played by Dennis Quaid in the 2000 film. The storyline of this new version of "Frequency" revolves around Raimy, a female police detective in 2016 who discovers that she is able to speak via a ham radio with her estranged father (Smith), who died 20 years ago.
Seen in 1996, Frank Sullivan has been undercover for two years. The strain of the assignment effectively destroyed his marriage and separated him from his little girl, Raimy, but he gets a new chance at building a relationship with her when she begins communicating with him from the future. The two forge a new relationship while working together on an unresolved murder case, but unintended consequences of the "butterfly effect" wreak havoc in the present day.
The CW's "Frequency," from WBTV and Lin Pictures, is executive produced by Carver, Toby Emmerich (who wrote the film), John Rickard, and Lin Pictures' Dan Lin and Jennifer Gwartz.

Breaking – Saw: Legacy on its Way!
We've all been waiting for something solid pertaining to what Lionsgate is planning to do with the Saw franchise… will we get another sequel? A remake/reimagining/reboot/prequel? Hell, how about a TV series? They seem to be all the rage today, no? It's been eerily quiet for a couple of years, but now some news has come. Get ready for Saw: Legacy.
According to The Tracking Board, Lionsgate has tapped writing duo Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger to pen Saw: Legacy, which will serve as the eighth installment of the venerable horror franchise. Although story details are being kept tightly under wraps, original Saw director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell will serve as executive producers on the project.
Goldfinger and Stolberg are no strangers to the horror genre. The pair worked together on Sorority Row, Piranha 3D, and Piranha 3DD. Whether Saw: Legacy will be a reboot, a continuation, or an origin story has not been announced; but given Goldfinger and Stolberg's ability to craft creative kills while maintaining an undercurrent of devilish humor, the film could prove to have the right combination of self-awareness and shocking gore needed to jolt the franchise back to life.

'Cabin Fever' Images Burn Out the Infection
Check out the full image gallery and hi-res poster art for Travis Z's Cabin Fever remake, which will be releasing in limited theaters (New York and Los Angeles) and on Digital HD February 12th.
IFC Midnight is behind the new Cabin Fever, which is a near word-for-word remake; Travis Z's take is from a screenplay by Eli Roth & Randy Pearlstein (based on a story by Roth).
"The story is familiar: fresh out of college, a group of five friends retreat to a remote cabin in the woods for one last week of partying—only to become snacks for a gruesome, flesh-eating virus. What's surprising are the ingenious new deaths, which offer a fresh spin on a horror-comedy milestone."
The redo of Eli Roth's 2002 film of the same name stars Gage Golightly, Matthew Daddario, Samuel Davis, Nadine Crocker, and Dustin Ingram.
If you recall, back in March Roth said he was "blown away" by the remake.
The film was produced by Evan Astrowsky, Christopher Lemole and Tim Zajaros, and was executive produced by Roth, Cassian Elwes, Jerry Fruchtman, Peter Fruchtman and Ike and Jaclyn Suri.
'Saw': Lionsgate Begins Developing Next Sequel, 'Legacy'
Back in 2004 Jigsaw became a household name when Lionsgate carved out a theatrical release for James Wan and Leigh Whannell's low-budget festival fav Saw.
It was so successful that it became an annual tradition to expect a new Saw sequel each and every October.
The games came to an end with 2010's Saw 3D (Saw: The Final Chapter), which was pegged as the end of the franchise. Yet, the final scene set up a world that could easily be expanded.
[Related Post] Which Saw Trap Device Are You?
Since then, Lionsgate has been taking a breather. We've reported multiple times that the seventh Saw wasn't the end, and that the studio has even considered remaking Wan and Whannell's film that's one of the most important horror films of all time.
After five years of pitches, and a re-release of the classic back in 2014, Lionsgate has decided to move forward with an eighth film in the franchise, according to a trustworthy tracking board.
Lionsgate has tapped writing duo Josh Stolberg and Pete Goldfinger – the duo behind Sorority Row, Piranha 3D and Piranha 3DD – to pen Saw: Legacy, although there's no story details at this time.
James Wan, who has gone on to direct Insidious, The Conjuring, Dead Silence and Fast 7, will executive produce with Whannell.
Will Saw: Legacy start at the beginning? Could it follow an entirely new cult of Jigsaw followers? What do you guys think will happen next?!

Syfy Renews The Magicians for a Second Season
We haven't covered Syfy's "The Magicians" much since it falls more on the fantasy side of the fence, but news of its renewal hit our inbox today so we thought we'd share the news with any of you who might be fans of the show.
From the Press Release:
Syfy today announced it has renewed hit drama series "THE MAGICIANS" for a second season of 13 episodes, expected to air in 2017. "THE MAGICIANS" is from Universal Cable Productions and is executive produced by John McNamara ("Aquarius"), Sera Gamble ("Supernatural"), Henry Alonso Myers ("Covert Affairs"), and Groundswell Productions' Michael London and Janice Williams (Milk).
Based on the bestselling novels from Lev Grossman, "THE MAGICIANS" is currently airing its first season on Syfy on Mondays at 9PM ET/PT. The series' fourth episode premieres tonight.
"Thanks to an extraordinarily gifted creative team of executive producers and our partners at Universal Cable Productions, 'THE MAGICIANS' has become a buzzed-about hit, enchanting fans of the novels as well as attracting new and younger audiences to Syfy," said Dave Howe, President, Syfy & Chiller.
During its first three episodes, "THE MAGICIANS" averaged 1.7 million viewers, 853K Adults 18-49, and 910K Adults 25-54 (based on L3 data). The series is also strong among younger viewers, with Adults 18-34 growing consecutively over each episode, averaging 180% above Syfy's prime time delivery in that demo.
Digitally, the series' first episode was sampled more than 6.7 million times during its pre-linear launch (January 8 to January 25) across Syfy.com and select partner sites, as well as On Demand cable, satellite, and telco TV platforms. Additionally, an on-air sneak peek of the pilot, airing December 16 at 10PM ET/PT, drew 1.3 million total viewers (based on L+7 data).
Starring Jason Ralph (Quentin Coldwater), Stella Maeve (Julia), Olivia Taylor Dudley (Alice), Hale Appleman (Eliot), Arjun Gupta (Penny), and Summer Bishil (Margo), "THE MAGICIANS" centers on Quentin, a brilliant grad student chosen to attend Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, a secret upstate New York university specializing in magic. He and his 20-something friends soon discover that the magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real when they unwittingly invite a malevolent entity from the other side into their world. Also reprising their roles for Season Two will be series regulars Rick Worthy (Dean Fogg) and Jade Tailor (Kady).

New Southbound Clip Stranded in the Middle of Nowhere
The team behind the V/H/S series heads Southbound (review) with a new anthology film, and you'll be able to check it out in select regional theaters on February 12th, 13th, 19th, and 26th (New York and Los Angeles on February 5th and VOD on February 9th). On tap today is a new clip that comes to us via Deadline.
Directors of the individual segments are Radio Silence, David Bruckner, Roxanne Benjamin, and Patrick Horvath. Kate Beahan, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Susan Burke, Zoe Cooper, Gerald Downey, Karla Droege, Larry Fessenden, Dana Gould, Hassie Harrison, Davey Johnson, Nathalie Love, Hannah Marks, Tipper Newton, Maria Olsen, Kristina Pesic, Matt Peters, Anessa Ramsey, Fabianne Therese, Tyler Tuione, Chad Villella, Justin Welborn, David Yow, and Mather Zickel star.
Weary travelers confront their worst nightmares — and darkest secrets — over one long night on a desolate stretch of desert highway in this spooky anthology that merges five tales of death and mayhem on the open road.
Mitch and Jack are on the run from their past when they turn up, blood-splattered, at a lonely roadside diner; an all-girl rock group called Siren must rely on the kindness of strangers when their tour van breaks down at the side of the road; a harried businessman is desperate for help from an unusual 9-1-1 operator in the aftermath of a car accident; a frantic gunman bursts into a bar demanding to know the whereabouts of a girl in a photograph; all hell breaks loose when masked men interrupt a family vacation.
These interlocking tales of terror and remorse are rooted firmly in the logic of "Twilight Zone" and EC Comics morality plays, each one winding seamlessly into the next. The result is original, cohesive, and consistently fun — a Möbius strip of ghoulish frights on an endless road.

Evil Dead's Jane Levy Joins Steven C. Miller's Office Uprising
More casting news has come in for the next film from Steven C. Miller, entitled Office Uprising, as Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Evil Dead's Jane Levy has signed up for active zombie-slaying duty!
Levy joins the previously announced young actor Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), who has been cast in the lead role. Miller will direct the film for The Exchange from a script by Ian Shorr and Peter Gamble.
Office Uprising takes place inside one of the world's leading arms manufacturers, where the board of directors drugs its employees to make them work more efficiently. Due to a slacker's error, the employees are given the wrong drug and start turning into homicidal maniacs. It's up to the slacker to rescue himself and his friends from the zombie plague that has been unleashed inside the company compound.
William Clevinger produces with Giulia Prenna. Brian O'Shea's The Exchange will begin shopping the film to foreign buyers in Berlin at this month's European Film Market.

Hardcore Henry Artwork Takes a Dive
Writer/director Ilya Naishuller's newly renamed film Hardcore Henry (formerly Hardcore) is set for release on April 8th via the STX Entertainment Motion Picture Group, and right now we have the official artwork for you.
Hardcore Henry's cast includes Sharlto Copley, Danila Kozlovsky, Haley Bennett, Andrey Dementyev, Dasha Charusha, and Sveta Ustinova. The film was produced by Timur Bekmambetov, Ilya Naishuller, Inga Vainshtein Smith, and Ekaterina Kononenko.
You remember nothing. Mainly because you've just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry, and congratulations: You're now a cyborg. Five minutes later, your wife has been kidnapped and you should probably go get her back. Who's got her? His name's Akan (Danila Kozlovsky); he's just a psychotic megalomaniac with telekinetic powers and a never-ending army of mercenaries. You're also in the unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley). He might be on your side. Good luck, Henry. You're very much likely to need it…

'Hardcore Henry' One-Sheet is Extremely Hardcore!
I loved Ilya Naishuller's first-person actioneer Hardcore Henry, which is "filled to the brim with holy shit moments."
STX won the film after a heated bidding war out of the Toronto International Film Festival, and will now release it in theaters on April 8th.
This afternoon the official poster was dropped out of a plane and free-falls right here to Bloody Disgusting. The art in insane, displaying the title character falling out of the sky with his guns a blazing. It's a tease of the opening scene which is straight up bananas.
District 9's Sharlto Copley stars with Danila Kozlovsky, Haley Bennett, Andrey Dementyev,Dasha Charusha, and Sveta Ustinova.
Its producers include Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch).
"Resurrected with no recollection of his past, a cyborg named Henry (the audience's POV) and his ally, Jimmy (Copley) must fight through the streets of Moscow in pursuit of Henry's kidnapped wife in the world's first action-adventure film to be entirely shot from the first person perspective."
'Freaks of Nature' Trailer Mashup Has All the Love
Freaks of Nature will be abducted on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital February 9, 2016, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
This exclusive trailer mashup takes us to beginning and the end of the apocalypse filled with aliens, vampires and a zombie!
Robbie Pickering's horror comedy takes place in the town of Dillford where humans, vampires and zombies were all living in peace… until the alien apocalypse arrived. Now three teenagers – one human, one vampire, and one zombie – have to team up to figure out how to get rid of the visitors.
The massive cast includes Nicholas Braun, Mackenzie Davis, Josh Fadem, Joan Cusack, Bob Odenkirk, Keegan-Michael Key, Ed Westwick, Patton Oswalt, and even Vanessa Hudgens and Denis Leary!
In 'Freaks of Nature,' we welcome you to Dillford, where three days ago, everything was peaceful and business as usual: the vampires were at the top of the social order, the zombies were at the bottom, and the humans were getting along in the middle. But this delicate balance was ripped apart when the alien apocalypse arrived in Dillford and put an end to all the harmony. Now it's humans vs. vampires vs. zombies in all-out, blood-sucking, brain-eating, vamp-staking mortal combat – and all of them are on the run from the aliens. It is up to three teenagers – one human, one vampire, and one zombie – to team up, figure out how to get rid of the interplanetary visitors, and try to restore order to this "normal" little town.

'Convergence' Clip Breaks Out the Surgical Tools
A detective on the trail of a terrorist finds himself in a supernaturally charged trap where all the rules of police work go out the window in director Drew Hall's Convergence.
The film arrives in select theaters on February 5, 2016 and on Digital Download, Blu-ray & DVD on February 9, 2016.
Check out this exclusive clip in which Ethan Embry's character, "The Hand of God," administers some really effed up lessons in faith.
"Detective Ben Walls (Clayne Crawford, Rectify, A Walk to Remember) lives a quiet life with his wife and newborn daughter. But he's called into action after an explosion at a local women's health clinic – and explosion that may be the work of a terrorist bomber Ben has been tracking. While investigating the scene, another shocking event lands Ben himself in the hospital. When he awakens he is surprisingly uninjured and ready to go back into the field. But at the behest of his captain (Mykelti Williamson, Forrest Gump, Con Air) and the hospital's few but eerily incongruous patients and staff, Ben is forced to remain inside the building.
As Ben navigates the hospital's alarmingly empty hallways, he soon finds himself hunted by a self-proclaimed avenging angel (Ethan Embry, Eagle Eye, Vacancy), who may be the terrorist he has been looking for, and haunted by apparitions whose deadly motives remain a mystery. As Ben's sense of reality begins to spiral out of control and the demons that surround him close in, he must find a way to both stop the supernatural forces that want him dead and catch the bomber before he strikes again."
A modern-day myth about redemption that's equal parts crime thriller, supernatural horror and action spectacle, Convergence is said to keep you guessing at every turn of its twisting plot right up until the last shocking frame.
Also starring in this gripping and unsettling film are Chelsea Bruland (Left Behind), Gary Grubbs (JFK), Laura Cayouette (Django Unchained) and Catalina Soto-Aguilar (Sons of Liberty).
The Rejected Score for 'The Exorcist' is Absolutely Terrifying
William Friedkin's 1973 film The Exorcist is considered by many to be the ultimate horror film. It has topped "Best Horror Films of All Time" lists for years now and it has been entered into the National Film Registry in 2010 after being selected by the Library of Congress.
The film not only ushered in a new wave of horror, one that was more extreme and visceral than anything that had been seen before, it also had a big impact on music. The usage of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" sent that track into the stratosphere in terms of popularity. Furthermore, it utilized many modern composers and their unsettling, uneasy pieces to create an aura of dread and terror.
But what many don't know is that the film was meant to have an original score by renowned composer Lalo Schifrin ("Mission Impossible", Bullitt). Well, that is until Friedkin had a temper tantrum and quite literally threw the original audio reels out of the studio window.
Let's talk a bit about the series of events that led to such an extreme reaction.
While the film was being worked on, Friedkin hired Schifrin to compose a score for the movie, including a trailer that was shown to advance audiences to gauge their reaction (see below). Apparently they reacted so strongly that some people were allegedly running to the bathrooms to vomit. Others had strong physical reactions to the strong flashing images, resulting in possible seizures. This led the studio to demand a new score, one that was softer and more relaxed.
Several years ago, Schifrin spoke to Score Magazine and explained how the full experience was less than cordial, to put it mildly:
The truth is that it was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life, but I have recently read that in order to triumph in your life, you may previously have some fails.
What happened is that the director, William Friedkin, hired me to write the music for the trailer, six minutes were recorded for the Warner's edition of the trailer. The people who saw the trailer reacted against the film, because the scenes were heavy and frightening, so most of them went to the toilet to vomit. The trailer was terrific, but the mix of those frightening scenes and my music, which was also a very difficult and heavy score, scared the audiences away.
So, the Warner Brothers executives said Friedkin to tell me that I must write less dramatic and softer score. I could easily and perfectly do what they wanted because it was way too simple in relevance to what I have previously written, but Friedkin didn't tell me what they said. I´m sure he did it deliberately. In the past we had an incident, caused by other reasons, and I think he wanted vengeance. This is my theory.
This is the first time I speak of this matter, my attorney recommended me not to talk about it, but I think this is a good time to reveal the truth.
Finally, I wrote the music for the film in the same vein as that of the trailer. In fact, when I wrote the trailer I was in the studio with Friendkin and he congratulated me for it. So, I thought I was in the right way… but the truth was very different.
Apparently that differing truth was that Friedkin was so displeased with the score that he decided defenestration was the only viable option, tossing the material right out the window. His loss, as I feel that the music Schifrin composed is nothing short of terrifying, leaving me unsettled even as I write this in the middle of the day.
While listening to the opening piece of the score, I can see how it inspired other composers, such as Roque Baños' for 2013's Evil Dead as well as Joseph Bishara's Insidious.
If you get a chance to listen to the above rejected score, make sure to tell us your thoughts in the comments. Would it have made a substantial difference had they used Schifrin's score instead of the array of composers we're so used to hearing?

Meet 'Emelie,' Your Psychotic New Babysitter This March!
Dark Sky Films has announced Emelie (review), directed by Michael Thelin and written by Richard Raymond Harry Herbeck, for release in theaters and on VOD platforms March 4th.
Here's the previously released trailer that introduce us to the babysitter, which looks like a parent's nightmare.
"After their regular babysitter Maggie can't make it, the Thompson family turns to her friend Anna to supervise their children while the parents go out to celebrate their anniversary. At first Anna seems like a dream come true to the kids, allowing them to eat extra cookies and play with things that are usually off-limits, but as her behavior becomes increasingly odd, the kids soon find out that her intentions are dark and twisted, and she is not who she seems to be."
R.I.P. Daniel Gerson Passes Away at 49
Some tragic news as Daniel Gerson, who co-wrote Monsters Inc., Monsters University, and Big Hero 6, has passed away after a battle with brain cancer, according to his family. He was 49 years old.
We don't talk too much about horror movies for kids here on BD, probably for a good reason. We're mainly a site that covers films that adults absorb. That's just what we do.
But there's something magical about introducing your children to the world that you love, even if it's not in the style that you yourself enjoy. After all, who thinks it's a good idea to show a wee little one Cannibal Holocaust? Hopefully none of you.
Instead, we show movies like Monsters Inc., which shows that the bad guys aren't exactly who we always think. We show them Gremlins so that they know evil can come from good, which is why we have to keep ourselves in check. We show them Monster Squad to prove that you can be brave and victorious, no matter your age.
Gerson helped write movies that may very well have paved the path for a whole new generation of horror fans with movies that appealed to an audience far wider than our genre could ever hope to accomplish. And for that I give him thanks.
Rest in peace, Mr. Gerson. Our deepest condolences to your family and friends.

Designer duo Anjalee and Arjun Kapoor have been roped in to design the finale costume for Miss India Universe 2012 Shilpa Singh.
Shilpa will represent India at the Miss Universe pageant scheduled for Dec 19 at Las Vegas, US. She was selected by I AM She, a national beauty pageant that sends the winner to the international pageant.
"Yes, we are the official designer for the finale round. The garment that we have prepared for the round is nude corset with pink crystal and Swarovski work on the bodice. It's free-flowy neon pink coloured gown," Anjalee told IANS.
The designer duo is known for styling some of the known faces of Bollywood, including Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba.
They hope that India Shilpa wins the crown.
"I have given the best shot... I am very confident about my work. I know that Shilpa will look glamorous and will stand out. Wishing her luck, hope she gets the crown back," Anjalee added.
Model-turned-actress Lara Dutta was the last Indian representative who won the Miss Universe crown in 2000.

The Red Sox didn't need a dominant performance from their pitcher Wednesday night, but Clay Buchholz gave them one anyway.
The right-hander shut out the Blue Jays over seven two-hit innings, picking up his league-leading sixth win in as many starts, as the Sox rolled to a 10-1 win in Toronto. Not only does Buchholz lead the majors in victories this season, he also holds the American League lead with a minuscule 1.01 ERA.
To hear what he had to say after his latest win, check out the video above.

Miriam BaynesBorn in United Kingdom. Lives in: MANCHESTER

My recent work is based on the folklore story of the selkie; a mythological skin shedding creature living as both human and seal. I have played with the tales' underlying premises of restriction, dual identity and social roles. I believe the story echoes my own belief that at some time we all feel restricted within our own bodies or social standing. The concept of escapism in a double life reflects our innate craving of being temporally released from our usual confined existence. I chose to highlight these matters by making wearable yet restrictive bodily adornments that blur the line between humanity and the 'other'.
Work of art I would like to makeI would like to collect and collate 'Missing Cat' notices and curate them into a research art piece displaying photography and collage. Whilst it would further my investigations into the links between humans and animals - building on the theme of ensnarement and love of the selkie story - it highlights the strange, unspoken, unreciprocated partnership we imagine with our pets. The final piece would ideally culminate in an online database of lost cats, in a match-maker, lonely hearts style aggregator, with the potential to explore endurance through a performance piece where I channel my inner lost cat.
The nature of the 'Missing Cat' notice reduces a relationship down to a photograph and emphasises what the owner believes to be the most important aspect of their feline, and shows the contrast between human nature and that of animal instinct. The fact that they have become such a mundane part of everyday life (to the point where most people don't pay any attention to the notices, regardless of whether they've seen a stray cat or not) only adds to the sombre tone - especially given the effort and heartbreak behind each poster.

Just what we needed!
posted 6 years ago
Dog park visits in the spring mean a bath every time. I was talking to people in the dog park and said I wished they made a dog coat that covered the whole dog. I went home and did an internet search which brought me to this product. I bought the fleece lined Top Coat.
We don't use it all the time because it takes time to put on. But when he needs to really run I can take him to the muddy, snowy dog park and let him run. No bath needed!
Pros: All over protection
Cons: takes a little time to put on

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Three county boards of election have separately certified the results of their elections, closing the books on the Democratic Senate District 22 primary election.
Certification by Cheatham, Houston and Montgomery county election officials signify they view the vote tallies correct as recorded.
The final count showed incumbent Sen. Rosalind Kurita defeated attorney Tim Barnes by 19 votes out of 4,477 cast in the three counties.
The Leaf-Chronicle in Clarksville reported Montgomery County was the last to certify results and did so on Monday.
The newspaper said Barnes now has five days to contest the election within his party.
Barnes said on Monday he plans to file a petition with state party leaders challenging the results on Wednesday or Thursday.

As the free agency signing period opened on Friday, the Flyers were able to lure more than just Jaromir Jagr out of the Pittsburgh Penguins' grasp. They also signed Maxime Talbot to a 5-year, $9 million contract.
Paul Holmgren said he was excited about Talbot's versatility, where he can move up and down lines and from the wing to center as Peter Laviolette sees fit.
Talbot, 27, spent 6 seasons with the Penguins, where he admitted it was tough to leave.
He caught up with the Philadelphia media yesterday:

François-Rupert Carabin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
François-Rupert Carabin (17 March 1862, Saverne, Bas-Rhin - 1932, Strasbourg) was a French cabinetmaker, photographer and sculptor. His work was representative of the Art Nouveau. Between 1889 and 1919, he sculpted many furniture (Fauteuil, 1893). He also made medals and practiced photography. He was the director of the École supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg and was regularly invited to the Vienna Secession. He worked in the artistic milieu of Montmartre and made a series of photographic studies of prostitutes. His sculptures and designs featured the female form as structural rather than symbolic elements, tending towards the Decadent style.

More about Tajikistan and IMON International
Tajikistan is known for its rich history, which includes a key post along the Silk Road and the end of Alexander the Great's rule. It has also produced great thinkers, philosophers, scientists and poets, including Rudaki, Avicenna, Ferdowsi, Omar Khayyam, Jomi, and Rumi. The country is home to communities that still speak the ancient Sogdian language, epic mountain passes, and a civilization that dates back to the 4th millennium BC. And, even today, it is a complex mixture of the Islamic faith, Soviet culture, New West culture and Central Asian traditions.
But Tajikistan is also the poorest of the former Soviet republics. The civil war, which ignited soon after its independence from the U.S.S.R., further damaged the already weak economy. In addition, 93% of the country is mountainous and only 7% of the land is arable. These conditions have resulted in high levels of unemployment and have forced hundreds of thousands to seek work in other countries, mainly Russia. While the people of Tajikistan are working to improve its agricultural production and manufacturing sector, nearly two-thirds of the population still live in abject poverty.
IMON's History
Since December 2007, IMON International has worked closely with Kiva and Kiva lenders to ensure that poor and low income clients represent a viable business proposition. Funds raised through Kiva have already been distributed to thousands of IMON International's clients and will continue to provide thousands more with permanent access to the varied financial services they need. To learn more about IMON International's work, please visit: www.imon.tj
Additional Information
About IMON InternationalIMON International (IMON) is a micro-deposit organization in Tajikistan that provides entrepreneurs with access to high quality financial products and services, including business loans, agriculture loans, consumer loans and micro-leases. Aiming to alleviate poverty, the organization helps unbanked individuals establish businesses in different sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and service. Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand its outreach to even more entrepreneurs, farmers and traders in Tajikistan.

Chippy grassroots Tories are choking on their class hatred of posh Dave. Do the idiots want Brown back in power?
As we saw yesterday, Labour is once again playing the class card against Cameron. I just wish certain Tories would stop doing the same thing against their leader. Grassroots Conservatives who should be campaigning for election victory can't move for risk of choking in their own class hatred. The ugly envy once associated with bearded Lefties in donkey jackets is now haunting parts of the Tory world.
Look at the comments posted on newspaper websites; listen to the Radio 5 Live phone-ins. The Bullingdon Club, Eton, the silver spoon in his mouth – the spite splutters in the posts, or down the telephone line. Dave's had it easy. Dave's a toff.
The urge to give the posh boy a bloody nose seems to have overcome party loyalty. Class has trumped ideology; in fact, class risks becoming the new ideology, just as it once was for Labour. The resentment that used to fuel Kinnock, Livingstone, and Scargill surfaces now in Tumbridge Wells and Henley-on-Thames. Labour strategists don't need to stir, Charlie Whelan doesn't need to plot: "ordinary" voters can't leave Cameron's poshness alone. He's "upper middle class", "posh boy", "Lord Snooty".
Cameron knows this and tries to parry the blows: hence the desperate adjustments to his clothes, like yesterday's farcical removal of his smart blue tie just before he spoke at Leeds City Museum.
But still they go for him – and Sam. As the baronet's daughter, Sam Cameron attracts particular bile. They attack her for her liberal tendencies and her supposed Labour sympathies; but her real sin in the class warriors' eyes is her background. She may talk like the girl at the checkout but she's "posh totty".
Class hatred runs so deep among Tory ranks that it risks turning them against the one hope they've got to get back in power. Old Labour got over their class hatred when they saw that a public schoolboy was the best, in fact the only, candidate to lead them out of the wilderness into No 10. I'm not sure today's Tory can forgive Dave that he did not stack shelves at Asda. Or Sam that she is not a hairdresser. Tory voters can't see past the bloke in the posh voice to grasp his ideas; they can't see past the bird with the titled father to notice her strength of character.
The danger is that these Tories will vote UKIP before they'll get an OE into No 10. Their hatred of the privileged Notting Hill set is such, they'd rather score an own goal. Back during the leadership contest, the class-conscious Tories had championed David Davis. No surprise there: Davis was a chippy working class man, convinced to the end that the posh boys had cheated him out of his just desserts, rather than that his own performance had let him down.
The class warriors have history on their side. Who was the last posh Conservative in No 10? Not John Major, that man of the people. Not Margaret Thatcher, the greengrocer's daughter. Or Edward Heath, the carpenter's son. No, to find the last toff Tory Prime Minister you have to go all the way back to Alec Douglas-Home. But so what? Cameron went to Eton. Get over it.
At least Labour's class warriors are using their tactic to try to win for their side. The chippy Tories are too stupid to see what they're doing: drumming up support for Gordon Brown.

(hidden for your protection)
The streets of Chiang Mai, Thailand's second city located near the northern end of the country, are nearly empty during summer middays. Most people you encounter will be tourists, backpackers and the drivers of tuk-tuks, the three-wheeled taxis that are everywhere in South East Asia. Thais know that the midday sun–or heated haze–is to be avoided.
So where are all the Thais? A great many are at home, safely shaded and cooled by those slow-motion fans that cool residents of South East Asia but provide no relief to visitors. But those Thais who need to get out of the house–especially those with some extra disposable income–head to the mall.
Recent visits to a few of the malls in Chiang Mai suggests that hotter days drive up mall visits. It's been unseasonably warm in the last few weeks, and business is booming. If you want to profit from fear of imminent environmental doom, the mall is where to do it in Thailand.
I'm officially on vacation here in Thailand, so I haven't bothered to find out who owns the malls or the bigger Thai stores. But I did notice a few American companies with Thai mall exposure: Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut and Duncan Donuts.
So the next time you hear about the "inconvenient question" you'll have a convenience store answer: Long the DQ Blizzard!

I compressed the photo to fit in the ting that's why xD I promise you though, he'll look badass once I draw him up for my novel

Nope that's just his mask. I'm thinking about drawing him without the mask though
Yes please owo
Okay I'll work on that once I get enough references

So you're considering retaking the GMAT.
Maybe you weren't satisfied with how you did the first time around, or perhaps your prospective schools have given you some indication that your score isn't quite what it should be.
Before you commit to a redo, consider three questions:
If you prepared thoroughly and did the best you could, you may not see a significant increase in your score. If you didn't spend much time studying, or were surprised or overwhelmed on the day of the test despite your preparation, you can probably improve your score by putting in additional GMAT test prep.
A "good" score for you depends on where you want to apply. As you are doing your business school research, compare your GMAT to those of the students who got accepted to the programs on your list. You can find GMAT breakdowns and acceptance rates for many schools in our Best Business Schools book or in our business school profiles.
Are you within the range? If not, then retaking the test will probably be in your best interest. If you are well within the range, you may be better off focusing your efforts on the rest of your business school application.
Be honest with yourself. If you don't have the time or the inclination to prepare, taking the test again probably won't result in a higher score. The exception to this is if you did feel prepared and just had a bad day. Then, by all means, review your material and head back to the testing center.
If you do decide to retake, be sure you've worked out the kinks in your test-taking strategy. Did you prep on your own? With a book? If you used one method the first time, it might be time to switch up your study routine, either with a small class situation or a 1:1 GMAT tutor. Keep in mind that you can only take the GMAT once every sixteen days and no more than five times in a 12-month period. Your three most recent valid (within five years) scores will be reported on your score report.
Are you better suited for the GRE instead? Read our article about the differences between the GMAT and GRE tests, and see the list of the 700 schools that currently accept both the GRE and the GMAT.
