'The negative reaction to the film had a difficult effect on the cast, who found themselves unable to work on other projects because of the film.[11] However, Lea Thompson and Tim Robbins have had successful acting careers since then. According to Ed Gale, he was hired to work on Spaceballs because Mel Brooks had said, "Anybody who's in Howard the Duck can be in my movie." '

"So, why did she do it? Although I can’t claim to know her personal motivations, the Atlantic’s Liza Mundy notes the importance of "erotic capital" for women in broadcast journalism—a currency that male pundits such as Bill O’Reilly, Joe Scarborough, Chris Matthews, and Ed Schultz are not required to spend. But Brzezinski should not exclusively bear the blame that more properly belongs also to Scarborough, the Vanity Fair editorial staff, and a political culture in which women are routinely diminished, degraded, and dismissed."

Sometimes graffiti can transcends into art. Such is the case of this Dark Knight standing in silent vigil on the side of an offramp by an anonymous artist ;)

About that study that organics aren't healthier.

It isn't about whether an organic potato is more nutritious, it is about the lack of pesticides, growth hormones and other things that aren't natural.

Blanchard Sanwouo came to Orlando Christian Prep from Cameroon, where he would see wild lions walking the streets of his village. He taught himself English and taught himself how to play football. Now, he has committed to Liberty University after his senior year at OCP. Reporter Joe Williams says he is one of the biggest, nicest kids you may meet on the football field, and his answers were always followed with a "Yes sir, No sir."

Okinawa is a tropical island far south in Japan. I lived here when I was little. I remember my dad boarding up the windows of our concrete-block, base-housing duplex as a typhoon approached, and watching the trees blow and bend during the storm. I don't remember what the storm's name was.

{Laura K. Gibbs, a lecturer teaching online literature courses at the University of Oklahoma] said she was frustrated when she read discussion posts about plagiarism, and then saw evidence of it in one of the peer assignments she graded. "It's what at my university we'd call patchwork plagiarism," she said. "I'm naïve enough that I was really surprised by that." (Via +Paul Allen)

"Federal investigators went to California on Friday to review two videos, one running three hours and the other only three minutes. Compassion Over Killing said the footage — which it said was taken by one of its contractors who held a job inside the plant in June and July — captured images of cows being jabbed, hit, electrically shocked and sprayed with hot water.

" 'Our video evidence clearly demonstrates a lot of suffering these cows are enduring,' said Erica Meier, executive director of Compassion Over Killing. 'It's egregious. It's unnecessary. We're trying to shine a spotlight into what's happening inside the slaughterhouses because this is not an isolated incident.' "

First Look: Matt Damon in 'Elysium'

This is the next film from the amazing Neill Blomkamp, the creator behind District 9.

Neill Blomkamp's upcoming "Elysium" has been wrapped in secrecy, but the first official image from the science fiction thriller looks like it will be a gritty and futuristic follow-up to his low-budget hit "District 9."

The photo of star Matt Damon comes via Entertainment Weekly, and spotlights "The Bourne Identity" actor touting one impressive firearm. Based on his gleaming dome, Damon looks like he's been frequenting the same barber who handled Sigourney Weaver's hair style for "Alien 3."  

Co-starring Jodie Foster and Diego Luna, "Elysium" unfolds on a manmade space station around 2159. It may be set in the distant future, but it boasts a... more »
