Looking back at Blue Thunder
8 May 2012 6:53 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
John Badham’s high-tech helicopter thriller Blue Thunder rode the crest of a decade obsessed with cool cars and aircraft. Ryan takes a look back…
Back in the 1980s, a company called Sega perfected what it referred to as the Full Body Experience. Less kinky than it sounds, this fusion of Crt television, videogame technology and hydraulic pistons aimed to give amusement arcade visitors a taste of what it might be like to drive a Ferrari Testarossa or motorcycle at breakneck speed or fly a fighter jet through a valley full of enemy aircraft.
For a generation of youths, these machines, with their chunky graphics and even chunkier controls, are the stuff of legend, and the mere mention of their names – Hang On, Out Run, After Burner, Space Harrier, Thunder Blade – is enough to evoke involuntary memories of Proustian proportions.
These half-remembered machines sum up the 80s era of mechanical wish fulfilment. »

24 April 2012 10:35 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Which is more shocking: the fact that Barbra Streisand turns 70 years old today, or the fact that she's been famous for more than 50 of them? Bottom line, everything about Barbara Joan Streisand is astounding, and we've compiled 70 accomplishments, songs, performances, and trivia items to celebrate about the most accomplished female vocalist of the past century. Don your naughtiest Owl and the Pussycat lingerie and jump along with us through a haphazard history of the woman who dazzled Broadway, dumbfounded Ryan O'Neal (I am obsessed with What's Up, Doc?), and has remained larger than life for longer than anyone else.

2. Geri Cusensa invented the crimping iron for and because of Barbra Streisand.

The Hunger Games Box Office: $250 Million/10 Days
1 April 2012 6:05 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Woody Harrelson, Jennifer Lawrence, The Hunger Games The Hunger Games topped the North American box office this weekend with $61.1 million according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. That represents a 60% drop from last weekend — which, admittedly, had the advantage of Thursday midnight screenings and IMAX surcharges. Even so, that's considerably less than the $75 million Deadline.com's sources had estimated last Friday night. For comparison's sake (among non-sequels): James Cameron's Avatar was down a minuscule 2% on its second weekend. Sam Raimi / Tobey Maguire's original Spider-Man was down 38%. Chris Columbus / Daniel Radcliffe's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was down 36%. Michael Bay / Shia Labeouf / Megan Fox's Transformers was down 47.5%. Tim Burton / Johnny Depp's Alice in Wonderland was down 46%. And Catherine Hardwicke / Robert Pattinson / Kristen Stewart's original Twilight was down 62%. Among sequels, Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale's The Dark Knight was down only 52.5% on its second weekend. »

The Hunger Games Box Office: Plummeting 61%?
31 March 2012 3:48 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Donald Sutherland as President Snow, The Hunger Games That The Hunger Games would easily top the North American box office this weekend was a given. Now, how much exactly Gary Ross' film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel would earn was open to debate. Perhaps that still is. Last night, Deadline.com reported early estimates of $24 million for Friday and $75 million for the weekend, as The Hunger Games is still playing at 4,137 venues (minus IMAX screens). However, it turns out that the futuristic adventure tale collected a much more modest — though still impressive — $18.85 million on Friday as per studio estimates. That's down 72% compared to a week ago, which also included $19.5 million from Thursday midnight screenings. Taking those into account, The Hunger Games actually dropped 61%. Anyhow, instead of the previously announced $75 million for the weekend, The Hunger Games is now expected to earn around $60 million. If so, it'll be down 61% compared to last weekend. »

Jane Fonda As Nancy Reagan?
26 March 2012 4:17 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Somewhat ironically, Jane Fonda, well known for her liberal politics, may end up playing Nancy Reagan, known for her marriage to a right-wing president, in Lee Daniels' White House-set film project The Butler. According to Variety's Jeff Sneider, the Oscar-nominated Precious director has asked Fonda to join his all-star ensemble. Oscar winner Forest Whitaker will likely play butler Eugene Allen, who served an array of U.S. presidents, from Harry Truman in 1952 to Ronald Reagan in 1986. Co-written by Daniels and Danny Strong, The Butler is based on Wil Haygood's report for the Washington Post. Among The Butler's other stellar possibilities are The Color Purple / Beloved's Oprah Winfrey as the butler's wife (Winfrey was one of Precious' credited executive producers), Rise of the Planet of the Apes / The Help's David Oyelowo as Allen's son, Schindler's List / Kinsey's Liam Neeson as Lyndon B. Johnson, and 2012 / The Grifters »

'Sleeping is my guilty pleasure. There's so little waking time left'
Donald Sutherland, 76, was born in Canada. One of his first roles was in the 1965 film Dr Terror's House Of Horrors.

Sutherland has appeared in more than 130 films, including Kelly's Heroes, Klute, Don't Look Now, Cold Mountain and Pride & Prejudice. The Hunger Games, his latest film, is out on 23 March. He is married for the third time and has five children, one of whom is the actor Kiefer Sutherland.
When were you happiest?
When I was less well informed.
What is your greatest fear?
Not being informed.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
To sift through that mountain of moments and come up with one is not a useful task.
What is your most treasured possession?
My imagination. »
