President Barack Obama today acknowledged his faltering political influence on voters, and on the Republican and Democratic legislators who are charting their own course towards the 2012 election. “All I can do is make the best arguments and mobilize public opinion,” he said during a 73-minute morning press conference in the White House. “So far, [Republicans] have not been responsive to public opinion.” Pressed by reporters for answers on ongoing crises and scandals, Obama also said that Attorney General Holder did not know the disastrous details of his “Fast and Furious” program; that the feds must invest in green technology because traditional oil is running out; that China manipulates its currency; and that Pakistan cooperates with extremists.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Disney banked a total of $1.6 billion of dividends from its cruise line over its first 25 years in business according to detailed analysis of its financial statements. The strength of Disney's brand makes it a bellwether of the cruise industry but it wasn't even a player just 25 years ago. The Mouse first dipped its toe in the water in the mid-1980s when it signed a partnership which allowed Premier Cruise Lines to sell combined cruise, hotel and theme park packages and offer on-board appearances from Disney characters. In 1993 Premier decided to partner with Warner Bros. instead and although it continued to offer land and sea packages with Disney's parks, it also added Universal Studios as an option.

Indians showcase at Sundance Film Festival 2023. (Photos courtesy of Sundance Institute) If India's forthcoming run at Sundance 2023 had a theme, it would probably be the wilderness. Elephants, fish, white ants, and nocturnal beasts mark the stories featuring the country that will make their debut at the Utah-based film festival.

Such interactions have helped produce films including Margarita with a Straw (2014), Lunchbox (2015), and Fire in the Mountains (2021).

Steven Spielberg 'The Fablemans' (2022). I went to a first-day, first-show of The Fabelmans at 2pm on a Thursday. It was a small screen with a capacity of approximately 100, and it was about 80 per cent occupied. The audience was made up of all ages — starting from a group in their late teens to an elderly couple who must have been in their 80s, slowly walking up the aisle on their canes.

Is there anyone who started making movies in the last 40-plus years that hasn’t been influenced by Spielberg? The Fabelmans is a Steven Spielberg origin story, but instead of Peter Parker’s … [Read more...] about Catch me if you can: ‘The Fabelmans’, a Steven Spielberg origin story
