Revolutionary, Disruptive Social "Positivity" App for Facebook and Twitter Expands to Apple® iPhone and iPad Mobile Devices
Revolutionary, Disruptive Social "Positivity" App for Facebook and Twitter Expands to Apple® iPhone and iPad Mobile Devices
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - May 21, 2012) - PositiveTALK, LLC announced today that PositiveTALK Mobile™ will be available in July 2012 as a FREE mobile app for Apple iPhone and iPad mobile devices. PositiveTALK is a revolutionary and disruptive web and mobile social media app that measures and improves the online "positivity" of people and their friends and following on social networks. The latest scientific research indicates that increasing the level of "positivity" can have a significant positive impact on a person's health, wealth, relationships and happiness, and improve a person's self esteem and influence with friends, family and co-workers.
PositiveTALK is a fun and engaging app that targets a rapidly growing online community of hundreds of millions of positive-minded people on Facebook, Twitter and other leading social media networks. PositiveTALK is the only social media app that analyzes and scores the positivity of posts, comments and tweets and calculates a daily PositiveTALK Score™ for users and their friends and following, based on the company's proprietary databases and sentiment analysis technology.
PositiveTALK calculates a PositiveTALK Score daily for people, places, companies and brands online, based on the positive or negative sentiment of posts, quantity of posts, number of friends on Facebook and Twitter, as well as many other analytic factors. The more positive a user's posts are and the more often a user posts positive comments to their friends on Facebook and Twitter, the higher their PositiveTALK Score and the more PositivePOINTS™ and Badges they will accumulate.
To help improve their PositiveTALK Score, users can post positive status updates to friends on Facebook and Twitter or they can post positive quotes from PositiveTALK's database of over 200,000 text and picture quotes from more than 23,000 famous authors. Users can also post status updates to both Facebook and Twitter that can include attached image files or captured photos up to 3 MB each, allowing users to create, post and share their own inspirational images and positive picture quotes to their online friends.
PositiveTALK provides online tools and analysis to improve a person's positivity, including online "recommendations" to help users improve the quality of their posts on Facebook and Twitter, and Positivity Graphs to help analyze a person's online positivity and the positivity of their friends and following. Users can analyze and compare the changes in PT Score for themselves and their friends over the last 7, 30 and 90 days and can earn PositivePOINTS and Badges based on achievements and activities.
"We launched our web version of PositiveTALK for Facebook and Twitter beta users last month at DEMO Spring 2012 and today we are very pleased to be announcing PositiveTALK Mobile at TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2012, with thousands of top press and bloggers, entrepreneurs, corporate executives and angel and venture capital investors in attendance. PositiveTALK Mobile will be available in July 2012 for iPhone and iPad mobile devices and is designed specifically for the rapidly growing iPhone and iPad mobile app market. We also plan to release a PositiveTALK Mobile app for Android phones and tablets later in 2012," said Jim Tousignant, CEO and founder of PositiveTALK.
"The strong 'negative bias' by the media for years, combined with explosive growth of the Internet, mobile devices and online social networks over the last decade, has led to a 10x+ increase in the number of negative online messages we are all exposed to daily. PositiveTALK Mobile is a free app that provides mobile access to your latest PositiveTALK Scores, post headlines from Facebook and Twitter friends and a growing library of positive content, pictures and tools to help mobile users measure and improve their positivity anytime, anywhere," added Mr. Tousignant.

I popped in on this house and admired the open plan living – on the piano nobile the walls could fold back to create a single space. The structures are now too fragile to move around, but I was impressed with this Georgian approach to light and space, in contrast to the Victorians' desire to add small warrens of rooms into buildings.
Dr Johnson wrote the dictionary! He wrote it here, together with his many scribes.
His workrooms were on the top floor, which is now divided into two rooms, and on the ground floor are another two rooms – one of which is the shop. There is also a cellar, where the kitchens would have been.
Another good example of an 18th century townhouse.
Do pop along. If you're a National Trust member, entrance is half-price (so under £3!).
If you're from out of town you'll probably want to visit Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub across the courtyard, which has been open since 1667, when it was rebuilt after The Great Fire of London.
When visited: September 2012

Here's a curious little item: a larger than life Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger film that isn't generally lumped in with their critically lauded efforts (The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp), but has a certain devoted cult following. As always, the set design and photography is vivid and colorful, with the restless camerawork grabbing the audience by the head and deliberately pointing it toward whatever Powell and Pressburger wanted them to see. You're always aware of the image, the deliberate cutting from one frame to another to make a point, and the use of splashy color and big, theatrical, artfully-directed sets. You know you're watching a movie, and if you profess to love cinema as much as, say, Martin Scorsese, The Tales of Hoffmann is a trip to movie heaven. But Powell and Pressburger have a way of wallowing in the surface indulgences of cinema without insight into the soul. This adaptation of Jacques Offenbach's opera-ballet about the poet Hoffmann (Robert Helpmann) fantasizing about three women he loves never allows one into the foolishness or mania of romantic love. As a performer, Helpmann is as closed off as Ryan O'Neil in Barry Lyndon, a dumb cipher walking through beautiful pictures created by masters of cinema who aren't masters of humanity. But if Hoffmann fails as an emotional journey, it is sensational as a music video. The poet wanders into a world where his lover is a mechanical performing doll, surrounded by a chorus of dancers on strings. The second tale involves his trip into a Venetian orgy, where his lover is a siren enchanted by jewels and magicians. (There's a stunning sequence where his lady carelessly walks across mounds of dead bodies that makes a strong case for Hoffmann as a horror film about brainwashed victims, one of the many reasons Night of the Living Dead director George A. Romero is part of the film's strong cult audience.) The third, and slowest, segment involves Hoffmann's attempt to woo a beautifully suffering maiden dying from consumption, where Powell and Pressburger seem more amazed by the allure of the wind blowing through the window curtains than showing genuine heartache. Movie critics often find themselves ostracized from movie clubs for their so-called blind spots, feeling indifference toward the masters. The other day, I seethed at a friend's muttering that Hitchcock was the most overrated filmmaker of all time. But my blind spot is Powell and Pressburger and their vapid manipulations of cinematic time and space. Hoffmann looks magnificent, but it's ultimately just eye candy for aesthetes.
The pristine new high definition digital transfer is a gorgeous restoration, and for a movie that depends on its vivid color palette and stunning camerawork, Criterion understood they had to aim for perfection. It's unlikely that fans of the movie will have seen a better, cleaner version. The sound is also of a very high quality-very well modulated and clear.
Criterion stacks this DVD edition with first-rate extras, including a vivid commentary from Martin Scorsese and film-music historian Bruce Eder. While Eder is a useful reference for facts, Scorsese is a passionate whirlwind of excitement over the cinematic techniques used throughout. As a devotee of Powell and Pressburger, he understands not only how their effects were achieved, but their thematic heft. It also builds a great case for this kind of in your face filmmaking, which at its best in Powell and Pressburger and Scorsese is sublime and at its worst is gluttonous and busy. There's a separate interview with horror maestro George A. Romero, which is more nostalgic than informative, though it shows the devotion of a true Hoffmann fan. A short musical of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, directed by Michael Powell, is also included, which seems like an earlier Powell effort considering its charming low-tech special effects (mostly in-camera and filled with primitive animations) but was actually made five years after Hoffmann. There's also a gallery of stills and lobby cards, a cheesy theatrical trailer, a gallery of production designer Hein Heckroth's paintings, and an insightful essay by film historian Ian Christie.
Criterion offers a superb DVD treatment that will be heaven for fans of this largely unseen Powell and Pressburger effort. If you have no patience for opera or ballet, stay far away; and if you have mixed feelings about the work of these British white elephants, it's unlikely you'll be convinced otherwise.

A retro on Edelman
I recently revisited some of the creative work I did for Edelman PR several years ago - this was experiential design at it's most broadly conceptual. Most of the work was observational - about defining what Edelman do, how they do it and why - and the brief was incredibly broad, covering visual identity, brand perception and creative processes. Most of the outcome of this work is notes. And post-its. Numerous post-its. However, despite it mostly being bundled up in NDAs (probably still - who knows) I found at least two interesting briefing documents from the project. The rest are redacted sadly. But there are two documents I still stand by in terms of good visual communication, which I've posted below.


text:
The aim is to improve strength and endurance in the racket arm. Leave the cover on the racket and practice playing clears, lifts, drops, smashes, drives, and net shots as normal.
This will make the racket arm stronger, which will give a player more power and enable them to play for longer before the arm begins to fatigue. This will make it harder to swing because of the added air resistance and weight. Play shots on both the forehand and backhand.
- 2 players can try and hit a shuttle between them with the racket covers on. Stand close together as the shuttle probably wont travel very far. See how many times the shuttle can be hit consecutively.
Coaching Points:
- Make sure the wrist is cocked on the back swing.
- Remember to reach as far as possible with the arm fully extended on every attempt to really feel the benefits.
- Listen for the swishing sound when swinging the racket, if there is no sound try and swing faster.

CATURRA DE ALTURA, COLOMBIA. Washed Caturra.
Wet Mill Las Margaritas
Region Guatica
Altitude 1700-1900 masl
Varietal Caturra
Process Washed
Granja La Esperanza is a group of farms owned and run by the Herrara family. Recognised as one of the leading farms in Colombia their obsessive attention to details has lead them to win the Speciality Coffee Association of America's "Triple Crown". This special award is only given to producers who have had three of their coffee selected to be in their countries top ten in a given year. This "Caturra de Altura" coffee, so called due to the height it is grown is a firm favourite will both or wholesale and retail customers. Due to the two crops per year, this is one single origin we are able to all year around. Seasonal variations can be expected though.
IN THE CUP - full bodied and rich. Hazelnuts, berries & caramel
The La Esperanza farms stand out with their progressive philosophy of not only producing an amazing quality of coffee but also strive for environmental sustainability and provided extensive training for its employees. When we first cupped this coffee, it immediately stood out on the table due to its beguiling complexity of subtle flavours.
A firm favourite with our wholesale customers as both the house and guest espresso we recommend as a starting point try 18g of coffee for a 32g shot in around 32 seconds. Expect a full bodied, rich espresso with good complexity. Target extraction level 18.9%
We love the body and long finish of this coffee so a Chemex is our go to brewer of choice with this Colombian. As a starting point use a ratio of 30g of ground coffee with 500ml of water at approximately 95degC. Wet the bed of coffee with approximately twice its weight in water, say 60g and use a t spoon to stir lightly to make sure all the grounds are equally saturated. Add remaining water in 3 equal measures with all water added before 3 mins. Total brew time should be around 3:30 - 4:00 minutes. If you have a larger Chemex and are brewing a greater volume, just coarsen the grind and allow brew time to increase to 4 mins 30 seconds.

Yard Sale Tomorrow!
As Sarah (Thrifty Decor Chick) would say, "we have spent the last month decrapifying!" The yard sale starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday afternoon. I am so excited! While yard sales are a lot of work, I am always happy once they are over. A clean slate, and a few dollars in the pocket are ALWAYS a good thing!

I have never seen "red" lillies before, and thought they were a beautiful color. And since I didn't have my regular camera on me, I still wanted a picture, so snapped it with my cell phone.

The Conservatory of Piano's methodology is available in an introductory piano class. This is a six-week course that meets privately for 30 minutes per week or as a group for one hour per week, with emphasis on the basics of what students need in order to continue with private piano lessons. These fast-paced, exciting sessions are offered throughout the year, and are available both privately and as a group, depending on interest. The cost is normally $125, which includes all books and materials, but the Discount Shopping Club is offering it for only $62!
These classes are different than most music programs for young children that simply wave scarves, bang rhythm instruments or press color-coded keys. Conservatory of Piano students actually experience music through unique teaching methods which are based on the art and science of reading music. Children in Conservatory Sampler© begin making music on the piano in their very first class.
Classes are taught on actual pianos, not toy keyboards. Children engage in an active session with ample time at the piano. Each lesson builds on the skills learned the previous week, so a piano in your home is not necessary to enroll in Conservatory Sampler©. The group setting is ideal for positive reinforcement and behavioral learning, and Conservatory of Piano's master pedagogues utilize both to stimulate the whole child. The expectations and results of the class obviously change based on the age of the students in the class, thus the importance of scheduling by age for any group classes you request.
Classes are set based on your availability, and new class times can be added for multiple requests or enroll your child in a private sampler class based on your availability.

Once again, we visited Thai Dara for dinner using our P300 voucher from Ensogo.
The place was surprisingly empty on a Friday night so we got ourselves a seat without calling for reservations.
We got to take pictures of the whole place freely since there were no other diners inside.
Their Wall of Fame :)
Another Wall where you can write comments and messages

I browsed through their menu and got the usual dish we always order in Thai restaurants.
Pad Thai Noodle (P209) and Bagoong Rice (P189)
Nothing really changed about their Pad Thai Noodle. It's still the same Pad Thai we used to order. It's nice that they were able to retain the same quality and taste of their Pad Thai I raved about before.
Their Bagoong rice still lacked the Bagoong taste that we were expecting. The rice was quite dry too. I loved the small pieces of dried shrimps though.
This time we did not ordered their Crispy Tofu but had their Bangkok Spring Rolls (P139) instead.
D and I both loved it! It was crispy and chunky at the same time. The sweet and tangy sauce tickled our taste buds. It is now officially included in our "must order" list in Thai Dara! :)
We wanted to order something different that time so we had their Green Curry Chicken (P189)
It was served in a small dish with chunks of chicken and eggplant. It was a little spicy with an herb-y flavor. Best to eat it with rice to balance out the flavor of the curry.
This time we also ordered for their best-selling drink Thai Iced Tea (P55).
It tasted like milk tea but was not too heavy to drink. We found it a little sweet though but I guess adding a little water into it would help lessen its sweetness.
With these amount of food every weekends, we would have gained a lot of weight before Christmas arrives.

Carolina flood threat may not ease for days
Senator warns that cleanup cost could reach $1 billion
Columbia, S.C.
It could take until the weekend for the threat of flooding to ease in storm-tattered South Carolina, where a senator warned of a potential billion-dollar cleanup bill, two more people died in the floodwaters and the flagship university sent a home football game 700 miles away.
Rivers rose and dams bulged as storm water from days of heavy rains made its way to the Atlantic Ocean, causing a second round of flooding downstream.
Gov. Nikki Haley paid a visit to the coast, which she said would still be in danger for another 24 to 48 hours.
"We're holding our breath and saying a prayer," she said.
U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham warned the disaster could "break the bank" of federal emergency funds, possibly topping more than $1 billion.
In another image of the storm's otherworldly toll, state officials said caskets have popped out of the ground in 11 instances.
At least 19 people in South Carolina and North Carolina have died in the storm, while many survivors returned home to discover they'd lost everything.
Wendy Dixon burst into sobs after realizing her wedding album and dozens of photos of her family were destroyed.
"Everything is gone!" she wailed. "My clothes and all can be replaced. But my little things, my pictures, are all gone."
It was another anxious day of waiting for floodwaters to recede around the capital city. About 1,000 residents near the compromised Beaver Dam were told to evacuate Wednesday morning, though the order was lifted several hours later when crews shored up the dam.
Haley said 62 dams across the state were being monitored, and 13 had already failed. However, she said South Carolina was fortunate that those represented only a small fraction of 2,000 or so dams regulated by the state.
At a news conference, Haley and other officials were asked whether the state had spent enough in previous years to maintain dams and other infrastructure.
"I think the analysis of this can be done after" the danger from the floods passes, she said in one testy response.
But Graham said the federal lifeline must be treated with care to avoid a "pork-laden monstrosity" like the federal government's aid package to the Northeast Hurricane Sandy in 2012. He warned officials not to use the disaster as an opportunity to ask for money unrelated to flood damage.
The University of South Carolina announced it was moving Saturday's football game against LSU some 700 miles to Baton Rouge, La. The university said more than 80,000 fans expected for the game in Columbia would have put too much stress on weakened infrastructur
In two of the most recent storm-related deaths, deputies said a pickup drove past a barricade and plunged into the water at a 20-foot gap where pavement was washed out.
Three people in the pickup truck managed to get to safety.

Wild about my Child
6 years ago
Mya to a T!! She is great and we love her over here. I am so glad that she still comes to my house even after 5 years of living here. She is such a good "mother" to Asher and he just adores her. Happy 6th Mya!
Happy Birthday to Mya. Maybe she and Kedzie can own a farm together and ride horses and make us lots of money. It's just an idea!
I think Mya and a friend called me the other day. After this interview it doesn't surprise me!

Several companies do organization in the United States and in different foreign countries. While several businesspeople recognize the value of registering hallmarks in the U.S., they sometimes ignore that they should apply to register their trademarks in every country in which they work. It is not just possible however also suggested for business to register their trademarks in a selection of nations in order to have the right to avoid violation of their hallmarks.
A business could initially relate to register their hallmarks with the United States License as well as Trademark Office. They start this procedure by filling in an application form online or working with an attorney to do this for them. The application will be analyzed by a lawyer at the USPTO, who could then issue a paper referred to as a workplace activity if they determine that the application has abnormalities or if they think the applied-for mark could be confusingly just like a mark that was previously signed up. The candidate replies to the workplace action, with any luck settling any type of concerns. The application will certainly then be released for resistance. If no member of the public opposes the application, it will be allowed and eventually become a registration.
The process for getting a trademark registration varies widely between nations. It is feasible to apply for a trademark registration in foreign countries that claims priority to an U.S. application, as long as the foreign applications are submitted within six months of the declaring day of the United States application. This technique offers these international applications an efficient declaring date of as long as 6 months before the real declaring day. This may be very important because in most nations, the initial applicant to submit an application for a mark is typically the one who gets the registration.
In some nations, a trademark registration could be acquired on the stamina of an existing registration in an additional country, while others should perform their own examination of the applied-for mark as well as release the mark for resistance. Some countries will call for that a mark really be made use of on products or services in their nation before the mark can be registered, which holds true in the U.S., but various other nations do not have this demand. Due to the fact that trademark regulations vary between counties, it is recommended that applicants look for the help of intellectual TM Registration to guarantee their applications remain in compliance with local regulations.

Celebrating Rare Disease Day at the Scottish Parliament
- Posted on Mar 13, 2017
The Brittle Bone Society attended the Scottish Parliament on 1st March to celebrate Rare Disease Day. Professor Stuart Ralston showcased the work involved in the TOPaZ trial and his collaboration with the BBS.
During our visit, we heard from the Cabinet Minister for Health in the Scottish Parliament, Shona Robison MSP, as well as Bob Doris MSP who attends the Cross Party Group on Rare, Genetic and Undiagnosed Conditions.
NHS officers spoke about work in the recently launched Scottish Genomes Study (to work with the 100,000 genomes project).
Professor Jonathon Berg from Dundee University talked about great strides forward in diagnosis and research.
Finally, we listened to moving testimonies from patient groups and from a lady with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome about her struggle to be diagnosed; and we heard from others with rare conditions of their journey to gain better treatment and care.
The BBS is pleased we have some projects on our horizon giving some hope for the future. Rare Disease UK reminded us all that the patient voice is crucial as we move forward.
Patricia and Coreen met with colleagues Liz Dougan, and friend Paul Connor who was there representing Kyowa Kirin.

Michigan residents may be interested to learn that a federal court has denied "Gossip Girl" star Kelly Rutherford's request for her two young children to be returned to the United States. Her son, age 8, and daughter, age 5, are currently living with her ex-husband in France and are the subject of an unusual custody battle.
Her ex-husband, a native of Germany, was denied reentry into the U.S. after taking the children abroad six years ago. In response, a California court ordered the children, who are American citizens, to live with their father in France. Rutherford, 45, must repeatedly travel to Europe in order to see her children and has been forced into bankruptcy due to the extensive legal costs involved in the custody battle.
In the case Rutherford brought before the federal court, she claimed the constitutional rights of her American children were being violated by forcing them to remain in France. However, the court dismissed her argument by stating that the children are still American citizens and have not been deported. Rutherford's lawyer called the case "unprecedented" and said her client will not give up her custody fight. The California court ordered Rutherford's ex-husband to apply for a new visa that would allow his reentry into the U.S. However, the State Department reports that he has not turned in a new application.
Child custody disputes can be complex and emotional, especially in cases where one parent is moving to another state or country. Any parent attempting to modify the terms of a child custody order may benefit by obtaining the advice and counsel of an attorney in order to determine the best way to proceed.

Once again, one of Big Herm's favourite opera surfaces. little did Puccini
know that he had invented the Spaghetti Western.
I always thought that one of the underlying blistered nubs of wretched
resistance to this piece was its blatant sexuality. in regular operas, the
ladies swoon and emote, The men clutch at them and gaze at them like moon
calves, they wring their hands and clutch at their abundant garments, and
sing, yes, they sing of LOVE and loss of love, love reunited with love,
love ended by death, love until it comes out of your ears, but that is not
really the ultimate satisfying place for it. in Fanciulla, there is the
prototype for that which came afterwards in films, the french doors
swinging, the windows left open and the drapes white and billowing in the
wind, all of this to let us know that something disorderly and perhaps even
a touch violent has taken place, and LOVE has been made by two people. Who
needs arias when there is so much blatant sex? The orchestra is well
informed and certainly does its best to share its knowledge with us.
Herm Predicts that fifty years from now, peeps will be writing about what a
strikingly modern work is La Fanciulla. And I am betting on some real hot
stagings. Bodices coming undone, or at least the sound of a bit of cloth
ripping....Sort of like half-time at a certain football game. HAH! only
kidding about that part!

Indiana Jones: The Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones is asked by a desperate village in India to find a mystical stone.
Indiana Jones is asked by a desperate village in India to find a mystical stone.
Director: Steven Spielberg
Writers: Willard Huyck (screenplay), Gloria Katz (screenplay)
Stars: Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw, Jonathan Ke Quan
So, part 2 of our Indiana Jones Series begins. This time we have a decent movie to take a look at together so, let's get this started.
The title of this film sends quite a mixed message. "Indiana Jones" makes us think of fun, exciting adventure, but "Temple of Doom" sounds rather ominous and terrifying. Well, you see, this is quite a mixed film. It certainly delivers the fun action and witty script that the other films in the franchise do, but it also delivers a number of infamous scenes that just seem too morbid for an Indiana Jones film.
Set in 1935. Indiana Jones is back in action, but this time he teams up with a night club singer named Wilhelmina "Willie" Scott and a twelve-year-old boy named Short Round (Glenn From walking dead... MIND BLOWN (too soon?)!). They end up in a small and distressed Indian village, where the people believe that evil spirits have taken all their children away after a sacred precious stone was stolen! Together, they set out to discover the great mysterious terror surrounding the Temple of Doom! It's all up to Indiana to rescue the lost children, win the girl and conquer the Temple of Doom (Giggity!)
Cue The Action:
- In Hong Kong, Indy gets poisoned by some Chinese gangsters, gets the antidote off of an annoying singer and takes part in a car chase (Indi' has a really crap driver).
- During a flight from China, the pilots are really working for the Chinese gangsters (of course they do), they bail from the plane causing it to crash into the side of a mountain, there's a raft used as a sled and boom we are in India!
- While exploring the royal palace, Indy and Short Round are almost impaled, they go on to find that there's a cult meeting in a cave chamber (ya know, the usual dark robes, chanting and such) and some dude gets his still beating heart ripped out (again, the usual).
- Indy is forced to drink blood from a rotten head cup (thingy) making him a submissive zombie. Short Round gets him back with the old "power of love" and well, a hot poker (but I digress).
- They recover the mythical stones only to be chased onto a rope bridge with a bunch of hungry gators below (Typical rope bridge stuff). Indy ends up cutting the rope bridge and they have to climb up (or fall and be eaten by the gators).
- The British military (magically) shows up and saves Indy's ass from certain death.
Over all, I personally don't think that this installment of Indiana jones is all that good. It has its action, laughs and mystery, but it lacks the substance of the first and third films. Although it is definitely not the worst of the franchise ( *cough* the "4th" Indiana Jones movie *cough* *cough*), I give Indiana Jones: The Temple of Doom a 5 out of 8 on the Hurt scale.
(Oh yeah! Before you all freak out, I know that the actor who played Short Round, isn't really the actor who played Glenn in TWD. I just wanted to get a TWD joke in there.)

After playing a game of Star Trek: Fleet Captains recently, I felt compelled to revisit the venerable sci-fi franchise's motion picture debut. Prior to 1979, re-runs of the original series became a tremendous hit in syndication and towards the end of the decade a new Phase II television show featuring most of the original cast was in development.
But when Star Wars exploded on the big screen in 1977, Paramount decided to parley it's very own "spacey" property into a big-budgeted movie. The final product seems to betray this disjointed genesis since it often feels like an hour-long concept dragged out over a hundred and forty-five minutes.
Here's the film's groovy, vintage trailer:
Veteran genre director Robert Wise, who helmed the 1951 sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still, seems a bit tentative in his treatment of these famous characters. It's as if their ten year hiatus has made them somewhat precious and above any rough treatment.
On the rare occasion in which the actors are actually granted a line of dialogue, the performances are actually quite decent. Stephen Collins is a great new addition, despite having only a few fleeting moments to make his character three-dimensional. And although the late Persis Khambatta was certainly one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the Star Trek universe, she also gets short shift before the script downgrades her to "automaton" status.
Realizing that the dynamic between Kirk, Spock and McCoy was the bread and butter of the original series, this "Director's Edition" mercifully re-instates additional scenes featuring the iconic trio. Unfortunately, when they aren't on screen together we're subjected to endless reaction shots and protracted clips of special effects porn.
Leisure wear...IN SPAAAAACE!!!
From a design standpoint, the film is also mixed bag. The refurbished Enterprise is definitely my favorite iteration of the classic vessel, the new Klingons look absolutely awesome, the effects are reasonably good for a thirty (!) year old film and Jerry Goldsmith's classic, robust score is rousing and unforgettable.
Unfortunately the same thing can be said about the costumes, but not in a good way. Indeed, those woefully dated Starfleet uniforms make the film look like some sort of bizarre interstellar slumber party. A really priceless moment of Seventies kitch occurs when McCoy, replete with Unibomber beard, pimp necklace, leisure suit and a belt buckle big enough to degrade the ship's orbit, beams back onboard in his characteristically cranky fashion.
Having said that, the film is true to the spirit of the original series, especially after V'Ger's origin is revealed in a clever twist. As a viewer, however, it's hard not to think that the concept would have been much better served in half the run time.
"Blue screen...the Final Frontier!"
Although it's certainly flawed, Star Trek: The Motion Picture holds a lot of retro fascination for me, probably because it's one of the first films I remember seeing in the theater by myself. I know it sounds kinda kooky, but with every subsequent viewing I find myself liking this film more and more and liking the recent "space operatic" Abrams re-boot less and less.
Tilt: up.

Almost three years after the Lord of the Rings' trilogy was completed, New Line Cinema has released another DVD set of the fantasy adaptation. The so-named "theatrical/extended limited edition" is complete with both versions of the films and six hours of additional extras. The previous film versions are the widescreen and the Special Extended editions previously issued as a trilogy two years ago. The news may be encouraging for the die-hard Lord of the Rings' fans eager to keep the franchise in the spotlight and collect every "LOTR." But for many consumers, the news may be an unpleasant surprise since New Line Cinema sold the Special Extended DVD in 2004 as the definitive version with no hint of possible future editions. Now two years later, consumers must open their wallets once more if they want the ultimate Lord of the Rings' set with previously unreleased professional documentary footage. With each edition of the trilogy priced around $50.00 to $85.00, being a Lord of the Rings' fan or even a DVD collector is quite a financial investment.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is among the many films in constant DVD rotation with multiple "special," "limited edition," or "anniversary" versions on the market. Christmas favorite It's a Wonderful Life (1947) is being release on October 31 with special double-disc treatment, despite having seven other versions available on amazon.com. But studios frequently reissue films due to public appeals. The public has requested different editions because of preference for the original theatrical version or desiring a choice between a cheaper, bare-bones film and its more expense, indepth version. The extensive DVDs often carry additional bonus materials, cast interviews, and behind-the-scenes documentaries that are worth the purchase, because they can create an overall richer film experience. Arguably, a film's many DVD versions allow a greater freedom of choice for the consumer.
But how many releases of one film can the film market really have at one time? Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press argues that New Line is marketing the new Lord of the Rings DVDs to people who have already purchased at least one film edition. It is understandable that New Line Cinema would try to increase profit from the Lord of the Rings trilogy as the three films are in the top 11 grossing films of all time with a combined total box office gross of over $2.8 billion. But is it fair to the public? Lawson describes the DVD consumer as turning "cynical" and it is understandable. Studios seem be making a profit just by reissuing "tweaked" film DVDs months or even years after the initial DVD release. More significantly, studios usually neglect to inform the public of the possibility of future versions, allowing an unassuming public to purchase the first-run release. Why is additional material not released separately on a bonus disc, thereby avoiding a repurchase of an already owned DVD? Though each studio may have different answers, Matt Lasorsa of New Line Cinema explains independent release the new Lord of the Rings' footage is "legally impossible" because the film's actors only consented for the documentary footage to be used for DVD film versions. For the public, purchasing the new limited edition is the only choice available to own the exclusive documentary footage shot by Costa Botes.
Can a consumer purchase a DVD without worry that a revised, more complete version will pop up in the near future? Honestly, it seems impossible given the studios dependence on DVD sales for consistant revenue. And since the creation of DVD, it seems past and present films have special, alternate, or unreleased footage that didn't make it to the theatrical showing. But Entertainment Weekly writer Steve Daly presents the real question when discussing the popular DVD trend: Is multiple DVD release a form of public exploitation? Arguably, film reissues could be seen as such since they are primarily released to make more money off the viewing public. But there is a great difference between unnecessary versions of a film and those with additional, special features that give something back to viewers by taking them inside a cinematic world. Though the newest Lord of the Rings edition is firstly for profit, it is a worthy purchase for those who truly love the film. The documentary footage presents behind the scenes' antics, angst, and camaraderie that allows movie watchers to delve deeper in the world of Middle earth in a greater depth than the previously released versions.
