The main stream media is the liberal media that's my point. Society needs more people figuring that out. For as much as people hate them (FOX news, Glen Beck etc,) they do bring stories forth stories that the main stream does not. EX. Main stream imply that Muslims are a peaceful religion. Its not. The true desire of this religion is to convert or kill. They treat their women like dogs. How can Americans tolerate that? But yet main stream media play stories that they are a nice bunch of people. >> ^alcom:

@bobknight33, who said anything about liberal? I think the larger issue is the "chilling" effect legal action and the loss of corporate sponsorship has on objective reporting in the modern media. From wikipedia:
"In a legal context, a chilling effect is the term used to describe the inhibition or discouragement of the legitimate exercise of a constitutional right by the threat of legal sanction."
More to Farrakhan's point, read this article from 2006 on eneregygrid.com - here's a snip:
"US liberal media is dying because it has started to play by the same rules as mainstream media — primary being not to annoy your corporate sponsors by presenting anything too radical."

GE is the largest media empire. GE is so left leaning it is falling over. Its so large, its over 120 Billion larger than it #2 competitor Walt Disney who only did 36 Billion in revenues.. Fox is owned by News Corp who only did 30 Billion in revenue. Sounds like the left is the king of slant.
2009 revenues: $157 billion GE
2009 revenues: $36.1 billion Disney
2009 revenues: $30.4 billion News Corp ( FOX)
2009 revenues: $25.8 billion Time Warner

Agrrr... can't watch it, Warner Bross owns copywright !

The commentator (or at least one of them - the loudest one) is a guy called Rob Warner.

My boyfriend edits an online mountain biking magazine (Am I allowed to mention it here or is that akin to self linking?! Ah fuck it... what's a community like this for, if not for sharing?!...
http://wideopenmag.co.uk/news/11366/wideopen-magazine-issue-16-read-it-now-for-free ) and was almost as excited as the commentators during this run...

Rob's a bit of a legend apparently. He even has an a silly iPhone soundboard app with some classic/annoying catch phrases. Try 'getting in the mood' when your boyfriend has that idiot in bed with you

Looks like Warner Bros. didn't learn their lesson with Sucker Punch.

It's worth mentioning that Warner Bros. are marketing the character as Selina Kyle rather than Catwoman, at least at this point, so I'll wager a guess that her part in DKR will be little more than a Catwoman-origins story. Also I see how her getting paws on Bruce's equipment is more in line with Nolan's realistic approach to Batman on the big screen, but assuming she only "becomes" Catwoman with the help of some gadgets, it's quite a departure from comic-book canon, isn't it?

Other than that.. Meh. Granted, I'm not THAT familiar with Anne Hathaway's filmography, but I haven't seen a single role in which her performance was anything more than barely decent. Also, she's "hot", apparently, which is something I just don't see at all, probably because she reminds me of Julie Roberts too much.

OH riiight the franchise is still owned by Warner on account o that kickass movie.

>> ^Hybrid:

Yes. The head of Warner Bros has already said that this film effectively rules out the possibility of making a sequel for it. It's a firm end. He said they will have to reboot... though I'd like to think they'll leave it a few years before they do at least.>> ^ponceleon:
Wait, this implies that this is the end of the Dark Knight movies? What, we need to reboot this shit too?



Why wait? They are already rebooting Spiderman...

My phone+internet package is $90/month, with 16Mbit speed (although I rarely get better than 12) and unlimited traffic.

Time Warner Cable in NC.

The actual problem is the ability and willingness of the telecoms to sue to keep competition away. Owning all the pipes, while it may be perceived as a monopoly and obstruction to competition, does not satisfactorily explain the problem. I say this because in Germany all of the the pipes are owned by Deutsche Telecom, but it is government regulations that allow for competition. As a result, internet is cheaper and faster as pointed out by TheGenk. Go ahead, own the pipes, but allow for fair use of them and lease them to anyone willing to pay, and the problem will not be so acute.

There's no chance for competition when the massive telecom corporations own all the pipes into the home and sue to prevent any further competition. (See most muni-broadband projects) http://arstechnica.com/tech-

Read the above article and tell me again how if only the free market was left unfettered we'd have competition in broadband. What a load of bull. The major controlling corporations have no interest in competition.
How is it government's fault? The big telcos gobbled up the little Baby Bells with no regulation from the FTC, hogging all the infrastructure and lobbying / suing any organization that challenged their primacy. How do you blame the government for this?

*terrible , then, my friend.

Technically not cancelled -- they did the pilot but the series wasn't picked up.

From Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_Wonder_Woman#NBC_pilot_.282011.29

Reports surfaced in October 2010 that Warner Bros. Television was teaming with writer-producer David E. Kelley to pitch a new Wonder Woman television series to networks.[23] The major networks all turned down the series,[24] but NBC, the final network to initially pass on the project, announced that they had ordered a pilot on January 21, 2011. ... On May 12, 2011, NBC announced that it would not be picking the project up to series.[32]


>> ^BoneRemake:

hahahaha, its so debatable that this should be in 1sttube. How is this the best of the net. ewwww I can smell it from here it reeks so much.
- so the tag with canceled ? the show was canceled ? no more wonder woman 2011 ?

I live in Austin TX and the drafhouse is the _only_ theater I will go to. This woman had it coming, shes blatantly lying her ass off when she stated that she didn't know she couldn't text/talk on the phone/talk at all during the film. Before EVERY film they show you get a warning that states:

“DON’T TALK DURING THE MOVIE

& TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE

OR WE’LL TAKE YOUR ASS OUT.”

&

“FROM THIS MOMENT ON

THIS THEATER IS A

QUIET ZONE

IF YOU TALK DURING THIS PRESENTATION

YOU WILL RECEIVE ONE WARNING.

IF YOU CONTINUE TO TALK, YOU WILL BE

EJECTED WITHOUT A REFUND”

Usually during/following some very funny video, one of their previous PSA's for not talking during a film included an elderly lady that used very colorful language for expressing how she feels about people talking during the film. During movies from warner brothers they often use "cut you up with a linoleum knife" intro to the aqua teen hunger force movie (seen most recently when I went to see the hangover part 2).

Bottom line. Don't fucking talk, text, or use your phone during the film. Or they will take your ass out.
