She is the one asking for government intervention. What the story doesn't say is why they think they will get something out Facebook and how the company convinced the ERA to order the disclosure. 1. I can't imagine that in NZ the board would give the order without something substantial. 2. This will go very badly for the company if they get the data from Facebook and it doesn't support their case and they would know that. They have something.
No they're not. They're about at the same level of quality as they were 25 years ago. You just remember the really good ones, you forget the stinkers that came out to the theaters every weekend. Good movies stuck around longer too, these days a movie has a month or two to earn almost everything, but 25 years ago a good movie could stick around for 6+ months. So they were more "present."
Top Gun played for 7 months at my local theater in 1986.
I have no idea exactly how long they played, but both The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Gods Must Be Crazy played at different theaters in my area for more than a couple of years straight, though only two showings a week. Is there anything recent that has achieved this type of cult status?
It is entirely possible, but far from granted. There are plenty of individual tinfoil hat wearers that either don't perceive reality the way that most do or alternately don't need a reason to be a jerk. This is just one side of the story.

The issue is that you have to know that it happened and then convince the judge.
And leaving any package too big to fit through the slot in the door just sitting on the stoop is somehow more secure?

You didn't like Star Trek IV? A double dumb-ass on you! Granted it wasn't Hamlet (in the original Klingon), but it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
How do you explain Jerry Lewis?

I think you and I have been given two different definitions of "Ice Age" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation
I thought we were still technically in an "Ice Age" that started about 2.5 million years ago.
