THOR: The Dark World

MARVEL fans got a real treat today with the release of two THOR: The Dark World character posters. Loki and Thor in two differently dynamic images. The contrast of the two step-brothers is reflected in the chaotic fury of thunder and lightning of the hot-headed THOR against the cunning and methodical planner of godly mischief, Loki. Now while the THOR poster embraces an epic comic book feel of action, adventure and magic, Loki’s thought provoking, calm and almost sly appearance on the steps of a crumbling Asgard teases so much more that’s clearly in store for this film. THOR fans will spot some possible clues to the new film littered, literally in the Loki poster, Odin’s helmet, Mjollnir; the hammer of THOR, Odin’s spear; Gungnir. With all the destruction and debris it only leaves us to wonder what the hell has Loki done this time!?!? We can’t wait to find out! Thor: The Dark World opens in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on November 8. The posters are below…

GAME SHOWS AND REALITY SHOWS ARE NO-SHOWS FOR ETHICS

Reality show scandal.

Does anyone these days have the right to be shocked by accusations of reality shows being rigged?

That thought occurred to me recently while catching up with a friend over coffee. She spent the summer backpacking across Europe (people still do that) in order to take a break from “everything American and become more worldly.” After regaling me with tales of French debauchery and Scottish shenanigans (very worldly indeed), she asked what she had missed in TV. “Well, let’s see. Under the Dome kicked off… Arrested Development is back… Big Brother was accused of rigging the winner. Again.”

She stopped me right there with a “Get out!” expression. She was shocked that such a thing could occur. Her shock triggered my shock, “How could anyone think that reality TV is anything but rigged?! Everyone’s a suspect. Just like the quiz show scandals of the ‘50s.” “The what of the when?” she replied.

Suddenly my friend seemed less worldly than a minute earlier. She hadn’t even seen Quiz Show, Robert Redford’s movie about the scandals. So, after refilling her decaf and my caf, I schooled her on true worldliness — the world of non-scripted reality TV and game show scandal.

Dogs are such a prolific part of Hollywood that they’ve earned three stars on the “Walk of Fame” (no such luck for cats). A great dog movie does what few other films can: remains timeless while surmounting every target market divide — assuming the viewer has a heart. The best films about dogs, however, feature more than meets the eye. The most iconic dog films feature hidden pasts, hilarious faux pas and sordid histories too interesting to be ignored.
