Panorama versus Eurovision: the balance dilemma that the BBC faces
24 May 2012 4:21 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
A documentary about Azerbaijan human rights issues sits uncomfortably with the BBC-sponsored song festival
There is much discussion, especially at the time of elections, about BBC balance: the Corporation's statutory obligation to be politically even-handed across the range of its programmes. This obligation is often controversial, with objections that, for example, the BBC is one-sided over certain issues (the monarchy, global warming and Europe are regularly cited). Complaints rejected by executives with the traditional phrase that the existence of outrage from both sides suggests that they "must be getting it just about right."
But there is another, less visible aspect to balance, which intermittently causes as much concern internally as externally. It happened again this week when Monday's BBC1 Panorama programme anatomised human rights abuses in Azerbaijan, just six days before the country hosted the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, the centrepiece of BBC1's Saturday night schedule.

Still catching up on the gorgeous Avengers men we haven’t yet gazed at. If you’re playing, we’ve drooled over Tom Hiddleston, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and Jeremy Renner. And now, the luscious Mark Ruffalo: [image] The boy is very much all right: [image] Can’t go wrong with a crisp white shirt: [image] Why yes, Dr. Banner, I’d be happy to help you with the stress-management techniques: [image] (If you have a suggestion for someone we should female-gaze at, feel free to email me with a name or a link to a particular photo.

Tsr Blog: The Villainous Box Office Success of ‘The Avengers’
22 May 2012 5:14 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
A god more indestructible than The Avengers’ nemesis Loki, Ned Beatty’s character Arthur Jensen in Sidney Lumet’s drama Network will forever be one of the most powerful villains in all of film. His face illuminated by a row of green lamps in a dim conference room, this chairman of a massive media conglomerate educates future TV prophet Howard Beale (played by Peter Finch) about “the primal forces of nature,” something that speaks galactically beyond accusations of greediness towards “The 1%.” In the movie’s epiphanic moment, he informs Beale that “… There are no nations, there are no peoples … there is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multi-national dominion of dollars … It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet … That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today!”

Box Office: The Avengers Surpasses Star Wars?
22 May 2012 4:08 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Avengers: Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America With a cume of $463.35m after 18 days, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers has surpassed George Lucas’ Star Wars ($460.99m) at the domestic box office, thus officially becoming the fifth biggest blockbuster in history. By next weekend, The Avengers should surpass Lucas’ Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace ($474.54m) to become the fourth biggest domestic blockbuster in history. Impressive? Of course. Any way you look at it, The Avengers‘ box-office performance, whether in North America or abroad, has been phenomenal. The Disney / Marvel actioner has surpassed the expectations of most — if not all — prognosticators. Now, having said that, The Avengers is not a box-office phenomenon on a par with Star Wars. Not even close. Studio/media spin and p.r. b.s. aside, the true barometer of a movie’s success is how many tickets it has sold, »

Our weekly round-up of the big news stories from the world of movie superheroes…
Once again, Marvel's The Avengers continues to shatter records at the global box office as audiences remain enthralled by the adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In North America, the Joss Whedon-directed superhero team-up became the fastest film to cross the $400m mark, achieving the feat in just fourteen days (four fewer than it took The Dark Knight back in 2008, albeit with the benefit of higher ticket prices), and it has also overtaken the world-wide haul of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Bat-sequel, making it the highest grossing comic book movie of all time...
...As if that's not enough to earn bragging rights for Marvel, the film is now also officially Disney's biggest ever hit, having surpassed Toy Story 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest to sit at #6 in the all-time global chart. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King »

'The Avengers' Torpedoes 'Battleship' At Box Office

'Dictator' and 'Dark Shadows' also make the top five over the weekend.

Of all the foes the Avengers have defeated, Universal Pictures may be the first to cry, "You sunk my battleship!"
With another $55.1 million earned during its third week in domestic theaters, "The Avengers" held strong at #1 over the weekend as Earth's Mightiest Heroes fended off competition from three new contenders, including "Battleship." The big-budget action pic, loosely adapted from the vintage game, which featured the catchphrase "You sunk my battleship!" in its once-ubiquitous TV commercials, was a distant second with an estimated $25.3 million debut.
Universal spent a reported $209 million on "Battleship," which opened earlier overseas (where it has already made $226 million). But the domestic debut for the action flick, which mixes seafaring military adventure with an alien invasion, is still a huge disappointment. »
Brooklyn Decker Box Office: Battleship Tanks, What To Expect Below Expectations
19 May 2012 8:47 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Battleship: Brooklyn Decker, Taylor Kitsch Brooklyn Decker has two box-office disappointments opening on the same weekend: Decker is featured in Battleship and What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Both movies opened way below expectations on Friday; in fact, official studio estimates released Saturday morning have them faring even worse than Friday night estimates indicated. Starring Taylor Kitsch, Peter Berg’s Battleship raked in $9m at 3,650 locations on Friday in the Us/Canada according to Box Office Mojo. That’s about $500k less than early estimates. For comparison’s sake: Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, at the start of its third weekend out, took in an estimated $15.3m. Box-office prognosticators were expecting Battleship to gross $40m on its first weekend out in North America. It turns out the alien invasion actioner / sci-fier will be lucky if it earns much more than $25m. A Universal release, Battleship cost a reported $209m. »

Battleship Fires Blanks With $9 Million at Friday Box Office

The Avengers stared down the barrels of Universal's Battleship and the frizzy beard of Paramount's The Dictator at the box office on Friday, and once again barely flinched in coming out on top.
Still showing no signs of slowing down headed into its third weekend of release, Disney and Marvel's The Avengers enjoyed another $15.3 million at the box office on Friday. Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) have now accumulated $417.3 million domestically, crossing the $400 million mark faster than any film in history this past Thursday.
Battleship starring Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Liam Neeson and Brooklyn Decker never had a chance against The Avengers regardless of how much money Universal poured into it, which turned out to be somewhere just north of $200 millon depending on where you get your information. It's weak $9 million domestic opening on Friday puts it on pace for maybe a $30 million weekend, »

Jennifer Lopez/What To Expect, The Dictator: Box Office Duds
19 May 2012 2:57 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jennifer Lopez, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Still going strong, The Avengers is on its third weekend out. Yet, the domestic box office is expected to be down 18% compared to last year because of three weak new entries: Peter Berg / Taylor Kitsch’s megabudgeted Battleship barely managed to stay afloat on Friday, while Sacha Baron Cohen‘s The Dictator (which opened on Wed.) and Kirk Jones’ all-star ensemble (Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford, etc.) What to Expect When You’re Expecting performed below expectations. [See Box Office: Battleship bombs.] The Dictator grossed an estimated $5.5m at 3,008 theaters on Friday, for an expected weekend total of $16m, as per Deadline.com. Sacha Baron Cohen’s R-rated comedy will thus reach a cume of $23m after five days. For comparison’s sake, Bruno — which was considered a major box-office disappointment following Borat — opened with $30.61m on its first weekend out in July 2009. Supporting Baron »
