There is no doubt that someone hacked a computer server at East Anglia University which is associated with Hadley Climate Research Unit (HadCRU), and released thousands of old e-mails to and from the HadCRU scientists. If the e-mails are accurate (that is, not created or enhanced by the hackers, and it's beginning to look like they're real ) the Warmie true believers have been conspiring to purposefully...

Score: Before you see this version of *A Christmas Carol* remember: you have options. According to IMDB, about 50 "Christmas Carol" movies have been released through the years, dating back to the earliest days of film. This is not the best of those versions. I prefer "A Muppet Christmas Carol" and the 1984 "Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I like these...

by John Walters Have you ever seen the film Patton ? There's a terrific moment in which the controversial U.S. World War II general, played by George C. Scott, is surveying a battlefield in north Africa. Patton peers through his field glasses, observes the German tanks getting in formation, and laughs knowingly. "Rommel, you magnificent bastard," Patton chuckles. "I read your book!"...

Here are emails I mostly agree with: The Bogart "The Maltese Falcon" was the THIRD version of that story put on film and undoubtedly the best. Also, the 1973 Richard Lester version of "The Three Musketeers" was not the first by a couple and in my opinion, clearly the best as well. I think the best chance of a good remake is when it is based on a classic book or novel rather than...

" The Exorcist III " ( William Peter Blatty , 1990) An odd little experiment in horror, more compelling than William Friedkin 's chest-thumping original , * with more humor—Blatty had written some 60's screenplays for Blake Edwards —and some genuinely unnerving moments that may not make one jump out of one's seat ( well, one thing will ), but will certainly creep one out. It begins...

Just wanted to give folks a heads-up on the latest Bennet v. Romanoff opinion thread --it's not that we're ignoring these, we just try to save the act of promotion for, well, actual news. Be assured we'll continue to promote all such diaries than contain any. This thread's purpose, as community stalwart twas brillig so correctly put it , is for "coverage" of the "coverage." We'll...

By Scott M. Fulton, III , Betanews Americans love a winner, and will not tolerate a loser. - General George S. Patton (as portrayed by George C. Scott) Throughout the information technology industry, there has been a certain pathology that somehow precludes any segment of it from evolving in any pattern other than consolidation, centralization, and the investment of authority and leadership in a dominant...

The rich earth of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is blessed with more than copper, iron. The Cliffs Shaft mine operated for 99 years in the town of Ishpeming, which is located in the Marquette Iron Range. Once home of many iron mines, the U.P. has only two left. Cliffs Shaft is now a musuem . I arrived there after it closed for the day, while I was traveling east on U.S 41 to Munising, I saw the old mine...

We've heard many of these stories before but the making of "The Godfather" is still inspirational: Then there was the question of who would play Don Vito Corleone? Paramount had sounded out Anthony Quinn; but also on their list were Laurence Olivier – who was ill – George C Scott, Jean Gabin, Vittorio De Sica, John Huston, Paul Scofield, Victor Mature… Coppola wanted Marlon...

With just over 300 titles now included in the Warner Archive Collection, Warner has certainly kept its promise from earlier this year to keep bulking up their selection and, shockingly, have actually been listening to their customers by offering bundle packs and discounts on the DVD-R releases (I remember someone joking in regard to Little Darlings that $20 was pretty steep for a film starring Kristy...
