Sarah Palin vs. 'Sarah Palin': Mama Grizzly Goes Off on HBO's 'Game Change' Posted: 08 Mar 2012 11:22 AM PST Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she is not planning to watch the HBO film "Game Change" when it premieres this Saturday night. You betcha she won't. The film focuses on Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential bid and his controversial choice of Palin as running mate. Palin recently told FOX News, "I honestly will not waste my time watching it and I encourage others to find something more productive to do." Watch the interview! "Extra's" AJ Calloway talked with Julianne Moore, who portrays Palin, at the film's premiere Wednesday. Moore explained, "It's not about Sarah Palin. It's really a look at how we elect our leaders." The actress said the process to turn her into Palin took some time. "It was a two-and-a half-hour process every morning, we had the pictures up all these different references. There was a lot of artistry involved in getting to look like her." "Game Change" premieres Saturday, March 10 at 9 pm on HBO.

James Cameron Announces 3D Documentary DeepSea Challenge Posted: 08 Mar 2012 09:31 AM PST Filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence James Cameron announced today that he will attempt to reach the world's deepest point, the Mariana Trench, nearly 7 miles (11.2 km) beneath the ocean's surface, in the coming weeks. Cameron's dive in his specially designed submersible marks the launch of DeepSea Challenge, a joint scientific project by Cameron, the National Geographic Society and Rolex to conduct deep-ocean research and exploration to expand our knowledge and understanding of these largely unknown parts of the planet. Cameron's historic DeepSea Challenge expedition will be the first extensive scientific exploration by a manned vehicle to the Mariana Trench's lowest point, the "Challenger Deep." Cameron plans to spend six hours at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean trench, some 200 miles (322 km) southwest of Guam, to collect samples for research in marine biology, microbiology, astrobiology, marine geology and geophysics. Relying on advanced engineering and technologies created by Cameron and his team, successful field tests were completed this week off the coast of Papua New Guinea. They included untethered deep-water dives - including one to a depth of more than 5 miles (more than 8 km) - in the revolutionary, single-pilot DeepSea Challenge submersible, the result of an eight-year engineering effort and the deepest-diving manned marine vehicle in existence. The public will be able to follow Cameron's progress on the expedition at DeepSeaChallenge.com; on Twitter by following @DeepChallenge or using #deepseachallenge; or on Facebook at Facebook.com/DeepSeaChallenge. "The deep trenches are the last unexplored frontier on our planet, with scientific riches enough to fill a hundred years of exploration," Cameron said. "National Geographic, which has been exploring the world for nearly 125 years, is the ideal partner to help usher in a new era of deep-ocean research and exploration that supports leading scientific institutions in answering questions about the deepest, unexplored parts of the Earth. Our goal is to build a scientific legacy for generations to come. It's also to inspire people across the globe to celebrate exploration and to explore with us online and through the media we produce." Cameron added, "Rolex is also a natural partner in this venture - unique in having reached the Challenger Deep 52 years ago and in its celebrated, century-long history of supporting exploration and helping push the boundaries of human and scientific endeavor." The Challenger Deep has only been reached once in a manned descent, on Jan. 23, 1960, by U.S. Navy Lt. Don Walsh and Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard in the bathyscaphe Trieste. They spent approximately 20 minutes on the ocean floor before returning to the surface. Now, 52 years later, Cameron's DeepSea Challenger represents breakthroughs in materials science, unique approaches to structural engineering and new ways of imaging through an ultra-small, full ocean depth-rated stereoscopic camera. Cameron's Cameron | Pace Group, which supplies 3-D technologies and production support services, has provided the capability to document the historic expedition in high-resolution 3-D. "Some believe the golden age of exploration is behind us. On the contrary, I believe we are at the beginning of our greatest age of exploration," said Terry Garcia, National Geographic's executive vice president for Mission Programs. "We salute James Cameron for his commitment to science and exploration, and we are delighted to be part of this groundbreaking adventure to the deepest and least explored point on Earth." In 1960, an experimental Rolex Deepsea Special watch was attached to the hull of the Trieste and emerged in perfect working order after withstanding the huge pressure exerted at 6.78 miles (nearly 11 km) below the surface. The DeepSea Challenger submersible will carry a new experimental wristwatch, the Rolex Deepsea Challenge, strapped to its manipulator arm, renewing the pioneering engineering challenge the Swiss watchmaker took up 52 years ago with the Trieste. "Our affinity with the deep also extends to active and sustained support of renowned marine researchers, supporting excellence and innovation in the advancement of human knowledge," said Gian Riccardo Marini, Chief Executive Officer of Rolex SA. "I am convinced that James Cameron is bringing us to the threshold of a long-delayed revival in marine exploration. We are proud to have such a passionate and longstanding admirer of Rolex, and to return to the Challenger Deep on this historic venture to help unravel the secrets of the ocean's deepest places." Cameron was named a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence in 2011. While working on his film Titanic, he took 12 submersible dives to the famed shipwreck two and a half miles down in the North Atlantic. The technical success of that expedition led Cameron to form Earthship Productions, which develops films about ocean exploration and conservation. Since then he has led six expeditions, authored a forensic study of the Bismarck wreck site and done extensive 3-D imaging of deep hydrothermal vent sites along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the East Pacific Rise and the Sea of Cortez. Cameron has made 72 deep submersible dives, including 33 to Titanic. Fifty-one of these dives were in Russian Mir submersibles to depths of up to 3.03 miles (4.87 km). Cameron has written and directed numerous films, among them Avatar, Titanic, True Lies, The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The Abyss and Aliens. His films have blazed new trails in visual effects and have set numerous performance records, both domestically and abroad, including 11 Oscars for Titanic. Avatar, a 3D science fiction epic reflecting five years of development of new production technologies, was nominated for nine Oscars and won three. Avatar is the highest-grossing film in history, surpassing the previous record holder, Titanic. The DeepSea Challenge expedition will be chronicled for a 3D feature film for theatrical release on the intensive technological and scientific efforts behind this historic dive, which will subsequently be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel, and documented for National Geographic magazine. Cameron also will collaborate with National Geographic to create broad-based educational outreach materials. Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, is the DeepSea Challenge Project's primary science collaborator. For nearly a decade, Scripps has been involved with James Cameron in developing new ways to explore and study the deepest parts of the oceans. With its decades-long history of deep-sea exploration, Scripps is recognized as a world leader in investigating the science of the deep ocean, from exploring the deep's geological features to researching its exotic marine life inhabitants. The expedition also is collaborating with the University of Hawai'i, Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Guam. Additional funding for education and digital outreach has been provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, which supports original research and public understanding of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Scientific research permits for the dive have been secured from authorities in the Federated States of Micronesia. Note: In February, two members of the DeepSea Challenge team, world-renowned filmmakers and explorers Andrew Wight and Mike deGruy, were killed in a helicopter crash in Australia. The team will honor their memory by moving forward with the expedition as a tribute to them and their contributions to the project.

An impassioned recommendation: Go see JOHN CARTER! Posted: 08 Mar 2012 10:50 AM PST I'll preface this by saying that I did not work on the film at all and have no tangible reason to be campaigning for the film's success other than a love of movies. I was fortunate enough to receive a pass for an advanced screening of John Carter last night through AICN. I was excited but still a little skeptical, as reviews so far have been mixed. I am glad to say that I absolutely loved the film. As pointed out by Capone from AICN last night, there seems to be some odd wave on cynical hate directed at this movie for no apparent reason. Ignore it. The marketing by Disney has been misdirected and half-hearted. Ignore it. We need more movies like this. The amount of care and detail poured into the film by Andrew Stanton and his crew is inspiring. It is by no means perfect, but it has been a long time since a film has so firmly reminded me of the magic of the cinema that I fell in love with so long ago. This is a sci-fi epic on a scale we rarely get anymore. In a time when we have not one but two Alvin and the Chipmunks squeakquels, it's important that we as the movie-going public tell studios what we want to see by casting our vote at the box office. Do yourself a favor. Do other movie-lovers a favor. See John Carter this weekend. Although I already got to see it for free, I'm already planning my next two trips to pay for the privilege of seeing it again. TL;DR Please go see JOHN CARTER! submitted by Gh0stKiller [link] [3 comments]

Fun. Say Being Straight Makes Them 'Powerful' Advocates for Gay Rights Posted: 08 Mar 2012 02:00 PM PST Filed under: News, Exclusive Redferns New York trio fun. -- the indie outfit who recently took their stylistic combination of Queen, Weezer and Sha Na Na to number three on Billboard's pop album charts, not to mention the industry organ's front cover -- may have unintentionally made a concept album with 'Some Nights,' their sophomore offering on Fueled by Ramen. Seconds into the gospel tang of the title track, lead singer Nate Ruess croons the call-to-arms question: "What do I stand for?" Next up, their current number one smash 'We Are Young' -- recently covered by the disenfranchised students of 'Glee' -- is a youth uprising anthem and preludes songs like 'Carry On' and 'It Gets Better,' the latter of which is named after Dan Savage's viral video campaign. Which is to say this album seems tailor-made for fun.'s charitable new partnership with LGBT rights organization Revel & Riot, despite being fully baked before the two joined forces. "Revel & Riot are educating people from a real forward place," fun.'s guitarist Jack Antanoff tells Spinner. "It's almost a rebranding of the entire movement."

Rihanna in Twitter War with Chris Brown's GF Posted: 08 Mar 2012 10:46 AM PST Coming on the heels of Rihanna and Chris Brown's controversial decision to collaborate musically, the "We Found Love" singer and Brown's current girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, have engaged in an online war of words. Tran, 23, a self-professed model, posted on her Facebook page last week, "I'm Angeline (sic), you're Jen. C'mon you see where Brad is at," allegedly aimed at Rihanna, reports NY Daily News. The songstress then took to her Twitter account and posted a photo of a bag of rice cakes wearing sunglasses and gold hoop earrings, alluding to Tran's half-Vietnamese heritage. Along with the photo, Rihanna wrote, "Ima make u my b*tch." The phrase is also part of lyrics to the singer's latest single, "Birthday Cake." On Tuesday, Rihanna took another jab at Tran, tweeting, "I'm a leader, yall on some followin sh*t ... coming in dis game on some modeling sh*t!" once again quoting lyrics, this time from Lil Kim/Mob Deep's "Quiet Storm" remix. Rihanna, 24, has been rumored to be seeing Brown, 22, in secret, especially since the two constantly communicate with each other, via -- what else? -- Twitter. Chris Brown beat Rihanna in a car on February 8, 2009. In June 2009, he pled guilty to a felony and took a plea deal of community service and five years' formal probation, and domestic violence counseling.

COMICS: After 7 Years, Hulkling & Wiccan Share An On-Panel Kiss Posted: 08 Mar 2012 08:58 AM PST Bit of a mini-milestone here. After seven years Marvel have finally shown Teddy (Hulkling) Altman and Billy (Wiccan) Kaplan kiss on-panel. May not seem like a too big deal as comics have already broken through many old barriers over the years, but as we know the issue of same sex relationships can still be met with a lot of disapproval in the funny books.. and is definitely still considered a strong visual taboo by many. Here are the relevant scanned pages.. Sounds like there might be another Marvel wedding on the cards! Coincidentally, we have already heard of one earlier that may also wind up being a same sex marriage in Astonishing X-Men.
