New York Times Patriarch Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Dead at 86

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:21 AM PDT

Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who led The New York Times to new levels of influence and profit, died early Saturday morning at his home in Southampton, N.Y. His death, after a long illness, was announced by his family.

Sulzberger took over as publisher of the newspaper in 1963 and later became the chairman and chief executive of The New York Times company.

During his 34-year tenure, the paper won 31 Pulitzer prizes, published the Pentagon Papers and won a libel case victory in New York Times vs. Sullivan that established important First Amendment protections for the press.

In 1992 Arthur passed the reins as publisher of the Times to his first son, and current publisher of the paper, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.

"Punch, the old Marine captain who never backed down from a fight, was an absolutely fierce defender of the freedom of the press," his son said in a statement.

He added that his father's refusal to back down "helped to expand access to critical information and to prevent government censorship and intimidation."

A deleted scene for Thor in The Avengers?

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 10:08 AM PDT

I was watching The Avengers on DVD last night, and I was wondering about the scene after Thor escapes from the falling prison chamber. He goes to pick up his hammer but it appears that he hesitates for a moment. I also watched the deleted scenes and noticed that there weren't any for Thor. Did anybody else feel like that would have been a perfect part for a flashback to Asgard or something?

Anybody else feel like Dredd 3D was the american verison of The Raid: Redemption

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:01 AM PDT

I know it was suppose to be a remake of the Stallone Judge Dredd but the entire time all I could think of was the lockdown in an apt. complex with a drug lord controlling everything inside level by level like in The Raid: Redemption.

Fairly recent foreign movies I can attest to, if you're looking for something new

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 09:51 AM PDT

I'll use the English titles, and I'll keep the reviews short.

Even the Rain (2010): Spanish movie but set in Bolivia. This one's worth watching just for the scenes revolving the Incas, but it's not a historical epic. It revolves around a film crew trying make a film about the Spanish conquest but gets embroiled in the modern day political situation of that country.

The Well Digger's Daughter (2011): French, pre-WII era. Ok, this one I enjoyed, but perhaps not everyone can go for this kind of movie. This is an 'old school' movie and the morals that go along with it, and yes it ends happily. It's simple even in how it's acted and told, but it's got a charm about it. It has an escapist feel to it being set in what is shown to be a simpler French country side setting.

Where Do We Go Now? (2011): Lebanese. Set in a small village of Christians and Muslims trying to co-exist trying to isolate themselves from the sectarian violence of that country. But, it's not a full on drama as you imagine. It's a comedy-drama, and has plenty of worthy laughs.

Terraferma (2011): Italian, set in Lampedusa. Cinematography! Filippo Pucillo is one charismatic actor and very expressive. Good plot, nice setting; it's that type of drama where life just happens, and it doesn't force emotions out of you for the sake of the film's context.

The Skin I Live In (2011): Spanish. I think this one /r/movies is mostly aware of by now, but it's worth another mention. It's just a full on WTF intrigue from start to end.

The Minister (2011): French. If you liked The Ides of March, you'll like this.

How's the shaky cam in End of Watch?

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 08:35 AM PDT

I really want to go see this, but I don't do well (nausea) with the shaky cam stuff. Had to walk out of Beasts of the Southern Wild recently because I couldn't take it. Can anybody enlighten me on how this one compares? Is it all shaky?

Non-Profit Sends Your Old DVDs To U.S. Troops Overseas.

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 09:24 AM PDT

Hey Reddit!

My name is Matt and my brother Ryan and I run a 501(c)3 non-profit called DVDs To The Troops (http://www.dvdstothetroops.org). Essentially, we send DVDs To U.S. Troops over seas, mainly in Afghanistan and Iraq so far. To date, we've sent over 9,000 DVDs in the last 9 months.

We're trying to raise $500 for shipping this winter using Crowdtilt! We only have one day left and are only $220 away. Every $10 sends 30-40 HOURS of entertainment to our Troops.

https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/dvds-to-the-troops-holiday-fundraiser

There is absolutely is not, and never will be, any sort of fee for requesting or being sent DVDs. We pay out of pocket or through donations for the shipping.

This winter we're looking at shipping over 200 boxes of DVDs to our troops. Each box contains 30-50 DVDs and costs about $30 to ship. All donations go directly to shipping.

Here's a link to our facebook that has a few videos of us shipping DVDs and some photos and thank you notes sent over: https://www.facebook.com/DVDSTOTHETROOPS

For more information please check out our site, or PM us on DVDsToTheTroops on Reddit.

Thank you for your time!

Matt & Ryan

Edit 1: Added we are a 501(c)3
