The really great director who likes to play around with thirteen year old girls at Jack Nicholson's house is out of jail and on house arrest. I'm not sure what else to say...he did make Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby? Nope he likes kids...I do like Chinatown though, just saying.
Here is an article about it if you are interested.
This is a email conversation between two guys about a business proposition that is absolutely something you should read. Funny stuff so click here to read on.

There pretty far off at this point but hey! We all like beer right? Beer can allow you to do all sorts of fun things you wouldn't do otherwise. Perhaps it will give you the balls to go up to that waaaayyy out of your league woman at the bar, or join in on tipping a car over in a restaurant parking lot after a long night of boozing...uhh ignore that last part. That never happened.
Canadian parents win court battle against homework | World news | guardian.co.uk
Usually it is the children, not the parents, who are loath to spend their evenings practising spelling and learning times tables. But a Canadian couple have just won a legal battle to exempt their offspring from homework after successfully arguing there is no clear evidence it improves academic performance.
Sherri and Tom Milley, two lawyers from Calgary, Alberta, launched their highly unusual case after years of struggling to make their three reluctant children do school work out of the classroom.
After waging a long war with their eldest son, Jay, now 18, over his homework, they decided to do things differently with their youngest two, Spencer, 11, and Brittany, 10. And being lawyers, they decided to make it official.
It took two years to negotiate the Milleys' Differentiated Homework Plan, which ensures their youngest two children will never have to do homework again at their current school. The two-page plan, signed by the children, parents and teachers, stipulates that "homework will not be used as a form of evaluation for the children". In return, the pupils promise to get their work done in class, to come to school prepared, and to revise for tests. They must also read daily and practise their musical instruments at home.
"It was a constant homework battle every night," Sherri told Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper. "It's hard to get a weeping child to take in math problems. They are tired. They shouldn't be working a second shift."
"Why were we putting our family through that stress?" she wondered. "If we don't want it all, we shouldn't have to have it."
Two years ago, Sherri began collecting studies on homework, most of which suggest that, particularly for younger grades, there is no clear link between work at home and school performance. Working with the staff at St Brigid Elementary Junior High School, she formed a homework committee. When no firm changes resulted from the committee, the couple began negotiating the legal document that decided the matter.
"We think it's a parent's right to choose what's in our children's best interests," said Sherri. "But we're thankful the school did the right thing."

The New York Times just went on to say that the 240 million dollar 3D movie by James Cameron actually cost the studio 500 million! This movie cost half a BILLION dollars to make? It just goes to show how much trust is given to a filmmaker like Cameron. The critics are coming out of the woodwork for this one, it is almost impossible for this movie to live up the price tag it took to make it. Will it be as good as the fanboys believe it to be? Or will it just be another Phantom Menace? Your thoughts?
Let me know what you think.
Avatar(genius, next generation of filmmaking?) or just a bad movie that cost too much.
