The best conversation I've seen so far on this was this exchange between Murdoch and a politician here in Oz
@RupertMurdoch : Terrible news today. When will politicians find courage to ban automatic weapons? As in Oz after similar tragedy.
@TurnbullMalcolm : @rupertmurdoch I suspect they will find the courage when Fox News enthusiastically campaigns for it.

Are you following Modern Seinfeld on Twitter? https://twitter.com/SeinfeldToday
Jerry releases a special for pay-what-you-want online distribution. Kramer sets up the website. Nobody can download it.
Elaine has a bad waiter at a nice restaurant, her negative Yelp review goes viral, she gets banned. Kramer accidentally joins the Tea Party.
George finds a rare gun from his dad's War days. Kramer talks him into selling it on eBay for $200. It shows up on Pawn Stars for $50,000.

Jonathan Kent is the role Kevin Costner was born to play. I think I'm more excited by that than anything else!

It’s been official for a while now: iOS 6 Maps suck. Everyone from Tim Cook to my mother knows it, but now it’s getting scary. Victoria Police are advising people not to use iOS 6 Maps due to safety concerns. What are those safety concerns? Oh nothing, really, just people stranded deep inside a remote national park.
The Murray Sunset National Park is located around 70 kilometres from the bustling regional town of Mildura in Victoria, and any reasonable mapping software could surely tell that the two are vastly different. Not Apple Maps.
In the last few weeks, Mildura Police have been responding to rescue calls from motorists who have become lost in the national park after being sent there by Apple Maps. The software actually thinks Mildura is located in the middle of the park itself.
There’s no water supply in the national park and temperatures can reach almost 50 degrees in the summer sun, police say, making this a very serious issue.
Some of the motorists located by police have been stranded for up to 24 hours without food or water and have walked long distances through dangerous terrain to get phone reception.Police have done their own tests and found that Apple Maps is in fact routing motorists into the middle of nowhere, and are telling people to ditch their iPhones until Apple fixes it.
This is worse than the time Apple sent people seeking a hospital to some stranger’s house. Here’s hoping it’s fixed soon. [Victoria Police]

I don't think this is all Apples fault, but if people are relying on their phone maps to get around instead of buying maps, I think it's time for them to remove it from their OS until it's fixed.

On the Kevin Smith thing, I stopped liking him for his sex fiend character that he plays. I know (hope) it's an act, but when his wife and daughter are in stage and he says stuff like I F#@ked that to make that it just rubs me the wrong way.
But I legitimately likes Mallrats, it gave us Jason Lee in a film world.

Anything that has the words sexy FBI agent either needs to be avoided at all costs, or will be amazing!

If you can't appreciate the awesomeness that is 30 Odd Foot of Grunt, then I shall bid you good day sir....

Amen to that brother! They don't all have to be the Joker, but surely we can have some real evil every now and then?

Who would have thought seeing Ben Affleck with those names wouldn't cause us all to go, WTF!

Batman concept art.

Watched 2012 for the first time, wow, what a stinker.
But also watched Where The Wild Things Are, and I can't believe it took me this long. I will never look at James Gandolfini in the same way again. He was amazing as Carol.

Saw it, mixed feelings. Loved Bardem, the last third didn't feel like a Bond movie and that is my major gripe. I understand why they did what they did, but it just felt a bit off. Also,
I was really hoping for a bit of closure on the Quantum story line.
Also, why the fuck wasn't Bond held accountable for M's death. He tried to be the hero and failed. And where is the data that they were trying to recover. Just cause the bad guy died does that mean they have all that back? What if a kid stumbles across it!
I'm happy with M dying, I think she was holding the Bond character back somewhat.

Simon Cowell, just for a laugh.

Plus, a scene with Mckellan trying to steer Fassbender onto a better path than he took would be electric.
I would lose my shit to see that happening.

I think the industry maths is that if you make your budget at box office, then with DVD, merch, licensing on TV, etc you make your money back and then some.

According to Geekshow, Disney is going to follow the same formula they use for Marvel movies. Big event movies surrounded by character centric movies. They plan on pumping these things out like crazy.
Smart and it means we finally all get that Bobba Fett movie, or probably not.

Saw the preview on the big screen on the weekend, this looks amazing.

Thanks all.
Had a fantastic day, my girlfriend literally made me a mixed tape, she sings all the songs on the CD. Amazing woman.
-
My girlfriend sent me this and told me This song reminds me of you.
What can I say, the girl gets me.

Yeah it shows that they don't link their ego with their company and it's accomplishments. To give it all away (control that is) shows that they appreciated they have created something that is now bigger than themselves.
-
Pretty cool news, I now want to see mash ups like people did after the Marvel purchase.
Would be amazing if they could score a big name director that would want the challenge / risk.

Fantastic Mr. Fox - It was just all around a great cussing movie.
I loved the cluster cuss work around on swearing. Fantastic movie.

I think Turnbull was telling Murdoch to put up or shut up.
