(The case, for those who forget, is about the records about Bush's military service... never showing up while probably being on drugs, etc... the records were declared a "forgery" and Rather "discredited", but I've always been sure that the records were either real or copies of real documents. They fit in too perfectly with everything we know about that period of George W. Bush's life for them to be anything else... but the Republican attack machine managed to get Dan Rather fired over telling the truth, because it was inconvenient for Bush's re-election chances. It really was amazing how the press turned on a dime and all started talking about the "forgery" and "how did the story get on the air at all", while no serious, nonpartisan effort was really made to prove the validity of the documents in question... for anyone who really needs any more proof, it was some absolute proof that the so-called "liberal media" doesn't exist.
Anyway, Dan Rather's lawsuit against CBS for having a partisan inquiry about how the documents got on the air (it was run by a partisan Republican, and CBS had evidently wanted such a person to run it... hmm, I wonder why?) and for damaging his character is evidently progressing along fairly well. Good, and I hope he wins in the end. :)
Stephen Kings IT Remake, again?
Posted By: / Source
Another remake is on the horizon. This time they are taking it to far instead fo renewing an older movie they pick a film a little over 10 years old. Soon they are going to be releasing a movie and than the remake back to back.. Anyway here is the article about the remake of IT...
"Variety reports that the WB network has set up a new division to develop and produce original movies, one of which will be a new televersion of Stephen King's IT. Previously turned into a two-part 1990 movie by ABC and director Tommy Lee Wallace, the novel will be adapted this time by Peter Filardi, who scripted the just-aired SALEM'S LOT two-parter for TNT; this IT will reportedly cram King's massive book into a single two-hour movie. Warner Bros. TV will also produce; no other talent or an airdate have been announced."
No, I don't have it, but I just watched someone (here at school) play through the second half of the game (chapters 5-9). Awesome, awesome game, just like I thought... very short, but awesome, and there is stuff to do after you finish -- timetrials, hard mode, etc. Amazing graphics and art design, awesome moves, fun looking around for where to go next... it'd take a while to get used to the controls for sure, but it looks great. It's definitely something I want to own...
Oh, really, really good music and sound effects too.
