Just to add when Disney made Snow White in the 30s it had over 750 animators working on it.

https://m.eonline.com/news/901...

So from where did you get this nonsense that Disney was making full-length movies with anywhere near 8 people?

Actually both are super slim

Both are curvy, they're not waifs so "In Hollywood, They're Obese."

Obviously white, with a name like Steve.

Robin Williams' Widow Susan Schneider Williams Pens Heartbreaking Essay About His Final Months

"It has been two years since Robin Williams died, and his widow, Susan Schneider Williams, continues to work to spread awareness of the brain disease that led to his suicide, Lewy Body Disease.

In a heartbreaking essay titled "The Terrorist Inside My Husband's Brain," Susan writes about her late husband's final few months and how the disease that he didn't know he had consumed his life. Sharing that Robin's many symptoms didn't fit any one diagnosis, Susan explains that he had to deal with not only physical limitations such as heartburn and poor sense of smell but also mental incapacitation.

"By wintertime, problems with paranoia, delusions and looping, insomnia, memory, and high cortisol levels - just to name a few - were settling in hard," she writes. "Psychotherapy and other medical help was becoming a constant in trying to manage and solve these seemingly disparate conditions.""

scalp flap

That's his Secret Service nickname.

In her book, Trump's second wife talks about a failed scalp flap procedure that he had done, causing him to fly into a rapey rage. But this certainly looks like a weave:

Either way, it's one of the Eight Great Mysteries of the Modern World.

Dear God you're an idiot. Gender identity has jack shit to do with sexual preference; and yes, as a result a significant number of men who become women still prefer women. See Kate Jenner's most recent documented exploits for an example

these exploits?

... Miley Cyrus having a wardrobe malfunction.

Miley Cyrus has a wardrobe? I'm not a fan of under-dressed women (which is different from undressed women) but I admire her for showing everyone her fisting dildo

Go for it

They have already announced that it will be an original story, not Zahn.

You know what time it is.

I dunno I found it somewhat interesting. Looking at some pictures of his new wife shows her to be rather plain looking and frequently struggling with her weight.

What the hell are you talking about? She's cute and she's fit, even if you consider her plain.

Top female super models and celebrities are also plain looking without make up on and without photoshop. And most of them are also struggling with their weight, whether it's the fact that they weight too much, or not enough (and are in denial about it).

Just because she got flowered at the Red Carpet at the Oscars does not mean anything's wrong with her or the GCC compiler.

You mean floured, not flowered. Suddenly having her virginity restored while she's walking on a red carpet is a surreal notion, even for Kim Kardashian.

well, that's because more people aren't smokers or drinkers.

People who are smokers AND drinkers may not be a majority, but people who are smokers OR drinkers likely are. Depends on the definition of drinking...social, regular occasional consumption of alcohol versus Rip Torn drinking.

An old friend of mine used to work for a high clearance group out in Colorado someplace. This is going back to 1995'sh... He has since gone silent (No contacts) , but I remember one conversation that we had had where he warned:

"If you want it to be a secret you better keep it in your head. Don't write it down, don't email it, don't call on the phone... Because if they want, they can know." (Paraphrased from so long ago...) But you get the point.

It was true then and even more so now. Who are "They"? Well, that's the problem... in 1995 I presumed it was the Federal Government that could disseminate the information to state/local. And under Homeland Security we do have "FUSION CENTERS" so you know that happens. But also it seems corporations of large magnitude can fall into it. If it is for "research, Statistics & Administration" then big whoop, but obviously it is a big temptation for people to abuse it once they are on the "inside."

Case in point would be Crystal Bowersox. She had her privacy violated multiple times in Ohio. Probably by people paid to dig up dirt for tabloids or something, but just like Google, Creepy.

Not that kind of Cisco.

They also censor artists who criticize Walmart.

This is correct. In the late 1990's Sheryl Crow had a song with the lyric Watch out sister/Watch out brother/Watch our children as they kill each other/with a gun they bought at the Wal-Mart discount stores. It was banned and to this day the album isn't available in stores (or online). It is available on their download site here. Go figure. For details on the controversy, see here.

As for the story at hand. I've learned to mostly avoid the App Store and the entire iTunes store. It isn't worth it anymore.

The fact that many customers bought the album from legally Universal Australia, which was the source of the leak, means that trying to seek out the cause or find who downloaded the album vs. who bought it from Universal Australia means that any data collection from Last.FM would be useless- no way to determine who paid vs. who didn't.

Universal Australia accidentally released the album for sale for a period of two hours, 2 weeks before the planned release date. That is how the album was leaked in the first place

Many fans, including U2 Blogs, made accounts with Universal Australia and bought the tracks within that two hours for about $20. UMG can't just sell people MP3s for $20 and ask for them back- sale done, game over.

to see stars explode

Let's see, Jackson only made them what, $3 billion dollars?

"Upwards of $3 billion in global ticket sales" (my emphasis - add the DVDs etc. revenue on top of that.)
However you're forgetting Hollywood math, where films don't make money (do not pass Go, do not collect 5%.)

As Spock's brain ponders...Fascinating...

But we can still limit *.cnn.com because at least on television, E! is now a more trustworthy and reliable source for news than CNN, and CNN is a better place for celebrity gossip than E!?

Prohibit your execs from forcing writers to write product placement into their shows.

Otherwise, my next 3-week break from pay TV will be intentional and permanent, not accidental and temporary.

Talking of indecency, why don't the authorities shut down the Jerry Springer Show? I have seen a level of indecency I'd never imagined! Can anyone figure how a mother could compete with a daughter for a man? I watched on such episode on Jerry Springer. To say the truth, I almost fell sick!

I think it was the television stations who opted to show a rerun rather than the FCC getting down their backs.

Some may disagree.

The top twenty grossing tours from 2005

1. The Rolling Stones, $162 million
2. U2, $138.9 million
3. Celine Dion, $81.3 million
4. Paul McCartney, $77.3 million
5. Eagles, $76.8 million
6. Elton John, $65.8 million
7. Kenny Chesney, $61.8 million
8. Dave Matthews Band, $57 million
9. Neil Diamond, $47.3 million
10. Jimmy Buffett, $41 million
11. Mötley Crüe, $39.9 million
12. Green Day, $34.8 million
13. Toby Keith, $31.6 million
14. Rascal Flatts, $28.2 million
15. Bruce Springsteen, $26.3 million
16. Gwen Stefani, $24.2 million
17. Coldplay, $24.1 million
18. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, $23.6 million
19. Barry Manilow, $22.7 million
20. Anger Management 3 Tour, $21.6 million

I know this is Gross, but I'm sure there was a bit left over.

At the other end of the scale there are thousands of bands, without recording contracts, playing local venues. They dont make any money at all except from playing live and merchandise.

While this is a network jump, rather than a drop-and-catch, there is an example a bit closer to home that bears mentioning.

I mean, it's even the same guy.

I know this is off-topic, but most of the discussion so far has been pretty uninteresting, so I was wondering how other slashdotters feel about the "Blood Mary" episode of South Park being pulled off the air and basically being censored from TV or any other future reproductions because it offended a few religious conservatives.

Here's another news article on it featured in the North Korea Times.

How much cheaper is cable because of advertisements?

Umm, on the order of 99.9% cheaper. Seriously, the overwhelming majority of costs are paid for by advertising. Consider the difference in production quality (ie, film quality, color quality, etc) of your average PBS show (ie, Painting with Bob Ross, Antique Roadshow) versus the average show on cable (ie, Drawn Together, Chapelle Show, The Daily Show), not to mention the costs of a show on one of the major networks.

Consider what happened with Friends. When the cast of Friends banded together and decided they wanted a million per episode each (~$6M total), NBC said "Sure, no problem." That's because they made $420K per 30-second spot. There are generally 18 of those per 30 minutes, which meant that they made ~$7.56M per episode.

Frankly, I'm willing to tolerate ads and product placement as long as I don't have to pay the actual staggering cost for my entertainment.

...but he comes back to haunt me. I cannot resist his lure...

And it seemd you're ready to do whatever the authorities say, er allow them to decide what you can do and how you do it. Fact is this won't stop conterfitting but it will make it easy the the authorities to track political speech. You may not remember J Edgar Hoover and how he collected intel on people he considered a threat like John Lennon. I'm sure he would of loved this, as would the Gestapo and the KGB.

Simply I don't believe government should have more power than absolutely necessary and this isn't necessary. Protecting liberty, regulating interstate and international commerce, conducting foreign affairs, and defending the country, that's the job of the federal government. For a compleat list of the powers of government I refer you to the USA Constitution. And be sure to refer to the X Amendment, and how it says "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The guy posts here on slashdot all the time; instead of infighting so much, why doesn't someone just ask him to clarify the details of an article written in a newspaper that's barely above being a tabloid?

Anyone that reads too deeply into "news" snippets like these which happen to always be adversarial and use creative verbs like "slams" and "rails against" needs to have his head examined. The Register is the UK tech equivalent of E! television.

So what's the next crappy 80's cartoon that must be re-created with crappy CGI?

The Smurfs!

Smurfing in 2008 at a smurfplex near you!

That is a little like - "I was only curious about how much money was in the register, and how far I could run with it until I got caught".

Pfft. Tell that to Wynona .

I hear he serves some great "Jesus Juice"...

I stopped watching the MTV movie awards when Keanu Reeves won Best Actor.

Hmm.. seems like Batman is late, Katie Holmes just started dating dating Tom Cruise.

Bravo! I admit, it is one of the shows that I enjoy - along with Fullmetal Alchemist, Samurai Jack, and One Piece (The Fansubbed version, not the abomination on "4Kids TV" - blecch!) among others.

So I have eclectic tastes - so sue me. I also like "Hey! Spring Of Trivia" (SpikeTV - a Japanese Gameshow), Survivor, The Entertainer (just ended), Nova, Antiques Roadshow, and have a morbid fascination with Carpocalypse.

In any case, the best thing about true anime shows, IMO, is that they are *not* designed for *American* kids. Ever since Johnny Quest went off the air, American Cartoons have been watered down dreck. If CN can actually capture some of the story depth and maturity of real Japanese Anime (even the lightest Anime is deeper than any Network cartood that I can think of), then I will do nothing but cheer them on. If they stick it with an 'american' depth and maturity, I'll turn it off.

He just won an Emmy for his role ABC's the Practice, to give you one example... Then there's TJ Hooker from the 80's, his numerous movie roles as both Kirk and other characters...

Quit whining about Lucas raping your childhood. Just don't go. I didn't like Jar-Jar either. Get over it. Because it's based in space, many techie types feel they own the franchise more that Lucas and the public he is hawking it to.

News flash to Georgie: You didn't earn an Oscar for the 1997 re-release (although the 1977 original earned seven and four additional nominations). In fact, in the very year you re-released your movies, "Titanic" took its' spot as #1 all-time grossing film! What you may consider horrible and unworthy of the world, that very world loves -- and what you love, the world has scorned.

Run, don't walk, and see The Growing Pains Movie, today!

If you have mod points and would like to support Kirk Cameron, please moderate this post up.

In every deal like this there is always plenty of language written in for "this deal will become voided if party A does any other this list of 100 things or if party B does any other this other list".

For example, remember when Activision sued Viacom?

And also, why would it be ESPN to regret this deal?
Many people think EA probably paid ESPN TOO MUCH/A
