Justin Bieber Acting: Mark Wahlberg Will 'Extract' Talent If Singer Stumbles in Basketball Drama

Just in time for the end of days comes an update on that Mark Wahlberg-Justin Bieber feature film that you've been waiting for since it was announced in April. It's still probably happening! And Wahlberg is still excited about his choice to team with Bieber. "I'm prety intuitive," Wahlberg said about his decision to cast the voice-changing pop superstar in a dramatic role as an inner-city youth basketball player. "I see the guy and spent time with him and you see what he does and how he does it, and then you actually have a conversation with him and it's there. [...] If not, I will extract it." Described as an amalgam of 'The Color of Money' and 'The Karate Kid' (obviously), the untitled film would focus on the relationship formed between Biebs's character, a street basketball player, and Wahlberg's, his reluctant mentor. That relationship could extend off-screen as well; after all, Wahlberg was once known as Marky Mark, though he eventually ditched the Funky Bunch to become the Oscar-nominated actor and producer you know and love today. Might Bieber follow a similar path? According to Moviefone's soothsaying Magic 8-Ball, "Better not tell you now." Oh, 8-Ball; you so crafty!

'The Dark Knight Rises' IMAX Prologue: What Did Bane Just Say?

If you've used the Internet this morning, the chances are good you read at least one report about the 'Dark Knight Rises' IMAX prologue screening that happened in Los Angeles on Thursday night. (Moviefone and the NY press corp will see what Nolan has to offer when the footage screens in Manhattan on Monday.) To quote 'Almost Famous': it's all happening! With news that a new trailer might come soon, and the IMAX prologue premiering for everyone near an IMAX theater on Dec. 16, the once far-away threequel now seems within grasp. Which means some backlash can start. Like, what the hell is up with Bane's voice? "Tom Hardy's sinister characterization [of Bane] shines through," wrote Comics Alliance after screening the footage, "but it was difficult to understand some of Bane's dialogue in this sequence. It seems likely that there will be many parody videos forthcoming." That opinion was echoed by many other Los Angeles journalists who got to see the prologue. "'Dark Knight Rises' 6 minute opening in IMAX shows you yet another Nolan moment never before put on film," wrote David Poland. "Boo-yah. (But could use subtitles.)" "Just saw 'The Dark Knight Rises' prologue. It was great but main criticism will be that it's tough to understand Bane through the mask," Variety reporter Jeff Sneider added on Twitter. 'Dark Knight Rises' fanatics may remember hearing a snippet of Hardy's Bane voice over the summer, when video of the Christopher Nolan Batman shoot from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh leaked onto the Internet. In that clip, Hardy affected a high-pitched whine that made him sound like a cartoon villain. Wrote Peter Sciretta at Slashfilm, "One of the big complaints among attendees was that it was hard to understand what Bane was saying. As you know, the character wears a mask, and his voice is synthesized and muffled in a way which is sometimes hard to hear over the score." According to Drew McWeeny at HitFix, however, perhaps the Bane voice being difficult to understand is exactly what Nolan wants. "I will say that the mix on the sequence we saw tonight could use some tweaking because while I believe Nolan's goal is to make it hard to understand everything Bane says, it really felt like I only picked up about 10% of what he said, including an emphatic "The Fire Rises!" at one point." Not that Bane's vocalizations diminished the footage; nearly everyone who saw the 'Dark Knight Rises' prologue seems to have come away with thoughts akin to eyeballs popping out of heads. Check back to Moviefone next week for our detailed report; 'The Dark Knight Rises' prologue runs in front of IMAX screenings of 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' starting on Dec. 16.

Jason Segel claims he cried when “meeting” Kermit the Frog for the first time, but the self-declared Muppets purist does not sound like a lachrymose superfan when explaining his update of Jim Henson’s brand. As the co-writer and star of The Muppets (out Nov. 23), Segel proves his Muppet mettle with a slick, but classically jovial take on the old troupe. Its swiftness is reminiscent of charming ’90s efforts like A Muppet Christmas Carol while Amy Adams and Chris Cooper’s performances smack of the original Muppet trilogy’s celebrity gusto; the Muppets themselves even conjure the old-school showmanship of the immortal The Muppet Show. I caught up with Segel to discuss his favorite Muppets, the best Muppet Show host ever, and how he feels about Frank Oz’s less-than-optimistic commentary. You balance kid humor and adult humor well in The Muppets. I can’t even remember the last live-action “family film” that’s tried to do that. You know who does it well is Pixar. Toy Story 3 is the perfect example. Kids were watching a movie about saying goodbye to their toys, and parents were watching a movie about saying goodbye to their kids. Parents and kids are both weeping for totally separate reasons. The parents are crying harder than the kids are, you know? So I thought they nailed it. I think The Simpsons has kind of nailed it too. Kids are watching a fun cartoon show; they have Bart and Lisa. Their parents have Homer and Marge. But there aren’t too many examples. The big mistake is that a family film has somehow come to mean a kids’ film. It shouldn’t. Those are two separate things. I’m sure Muppet zealots have quizzed you on your favorite characters. Do you have a thrillingly bizarre Muppet that you consider a favorite? I do get asked that a lot. I wish there was an answer that would make me seem cool — a really subversive, like obscure Muppet. But it’s Kermit. And Fozzie, but it started with Kermit for me. He was the everyman for a kid. He was Tom Hanks or Jimmy Stewart or something. I really wanted to be like Kermit. There was something about Fozzie Bear that I related to, the total unearned confidence. Even if he’s getting booed, he’s like, “Aaaah! Wakka, wakka!” And he just keeps going with the jokes. [Laughs.] I always liked that aspect, being undaunted by failure. I really liked The Muppet Show’s presence in the movie. Very unexpected. Who’s your favorite Muppet Show host? Peter Sellers. I remember watching the Peter Sellers episode when I was young, and it didn’t really mean that much to me. I didn’t really know Peter Sellers well. Then, I remember watching it as I was older, and I was a huge fan then — he starts that episode with the weirdest monologue of all time where he has this existential crisis after Kermit’s like, “All you have to do is be yourself!” And [Sellers] is like, “Who’s the real Peter Sellers? I lost the real Peter Sellers sometime ago.” I remember thinking, “Of course I didn’t get this when I was a kid. And this is the funniest thing ever.” The best comedian of our generation is — because I know he really felt that way from reading about him. He’s having a total existential crisis in front of a bunch of Muppets on The Muppet Show. It was awesome. It was like he was talking to a psychiatrist. Walter, a new Muppet who acts as your brother in the movie, is a very big presence. How did you feel about introducing a new Muppet that ends up getting more screentime than regulars like Rowlf and Gonzo? Walter was an important vehicle in that he’s the eyes and the ears of the true Muppets fans. He’s like how I felt — the biggest Muppet fan, so wide-eyed, can’t wait to meet them, and he’s devastated to find out they’re not as famous as they used to be. He’s terrified at the notion they could go away forever, which I was. He sets out to reunite the Muppets and put them on a show to bring them back. It’s such a thinly veiled metaphor, what’s happening in this movie. But Walter was important because kids of the new generation might not be that familiar with the Muppets. They get to be introduced to them through sort of an accessible, childlike character. That’s Walter’s function. The current generation of teenage/kid moviegoers may not have any familiarity with the Muppets. What’s it like to cater to them? We didn’t have to change the tone of the Muppets at all. In fact, we reverted back to the late ’70s, early ’80s tone of the Muppets. We tried to go hardcore back to the original tone, because something like The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz is not indicative of the tone of those Muppets. That’s like a Muppet-themed movie. That’s not what the Muppets did when I grew up with them. The only thing we had to adjust from that era was pacing. Kids’ attention spans have gotten a little shorter. If you watch the first Muppet movie, it’s slow. It’s the pace of ’70s movies. So one thing we had to do is be pretty strict about keeping it 90 minutes and keeping it a decent pace. But that’s all. Like those old movies, this one is very scenic — and it’s definitely a love letter to LA. As an LA resident, I feel like the tourist destinations here are often the last place I want to take visitors, but those places are prominently and attractively featured here. How did you feel about “casting” LA as a character in The Muppets? We wanted — and we ended up not making it as heavy a plot point as we envisioned it, because it was too big a tangent and we had so many plots going on — but we really wanted to juxtapose a small town perception of glamorous LA with gritty LA. We wanted stuff to be run down; we had a scene where when they first arrive, they get ripped off by a homeless guy in a Superman outfit in front of Mann’s Chinese Theatre. You know, we had those jokes! I grew up in LA and I love it very much, but I feel sort of the way you do that the nice places in LA aren’t necessarily the tourist destinations. So, the idea of these guys being so enthusiastic about the LA they’ve seen in movies and being confronted with the fact that LA’s seedy was funny. Jim Henson is not just Christlike to Muppet devotees — his whole demeanor was downright messianic. Did his rather commanding presence haunt or linger over you? What it did was inform us — so much. We weren’t trying to recreate anything or fill anyone’s shoes. It was more just honoring the legacy he created. What he “preached” with the Muppets, to use your analogy, is very clear. They’re kind, they haven’t lose their sense of childlike wonder, and they’re not even trying to destroy their villains. They’re trying to reform their villains. They’re trying to get their villains to come along. In the first Muppet Movie, Doc Hopper [Charles Durning] was running a frogs legs franchise. He wanted to cut off Kermit’s legs and eat them, but Kermit doesn’t even want to destroy him. He says, “You should think about why you don’t have close friends in your life.” So the road map was really clear as laid about by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. We just had to follow it. Finally, Frank Oz recently criticized the script of the film. Do you regard his comments and think he might just feel precious about the characters evolving? Yeah. I also just wished he had seen the movie. I mean, you saw it. I don’t think you walk away feeling anything but that it’s a total love letter to the Muppets. I get being scared of some new blood coming in, and thinking, “What are they going to do to this?” But I have a hunch that if he sees it, he’s going to walk out feeling really proud of having creating this legacy.

Jackson Rathbone on Breaking Beginning, Rocking Out and Existence After Twilight

Jackson Rathbone states he's felt right in your house playing Jasper inside the Twilight films, even though vampire’s quiet, reserved character contrasts while using actor’s other identity: since the leader of L.A. funk rock-band 100 Apes, who start their first European tour this month. Rathbone, who was simply strumming a musical instrument between interviews within the recent junket with this particular week’s Breaking Beginning - Part 1, spoken with Movieline about balancing film and music, Twilight’s effect on his success just like a music artist, and continuing to move forward within the series after Breaking Beginning - Part 2 hits theaters next season. Will you have a soul mates if the involves film versus. music? Are you able to ever quit someone to give consideration to a different? I'd never quit one sort of the humanities for the next kind of the humanities. Arts generally, I’m lucky that we fell deeply deeply in love with something once i am youthful which i’ve saved it my entire existence. Passion, in my opinion, is amongst the significant characteristics around and our humanity. What’s it like playing an antagonistic protagonist who must be restrained from killing Bella constantly? It’s certainly the main one factor I like about Jasper most likely probably the most. He’s fighting his instincts to have the ability to maintain that last shred of humanity. That’s a few things i find fascinating relevant for this gang of vampires of the underworld from the underworld as well as the mythology that Stephenie Meyer has created in twilighting. In my opinion that’s what people are attuned to. Each day inside our lives we’re ornamented by temptation also to finally have protagonists nobody are trying to prevent that temptation, that’s beautiful. In Breaking Beginning —Part 1 we've the wedding between Bella and Edward, and so they’ve anxiously anxiously waited. They’ve anxiously anxiously waited until they’re married, which’s awesome, guy. I’m glad there’s an account available such as this, because we’ve lost that they like a civilization. It’s time that individuals got lots of love and left lust behind a little. People need to visit good and also know how much good there's in the world, and the way much good there's within us. It’s been pounded into our heads that individuals’re evil which we’re base creatures who surrender to sin and temptation, however think that’s wrong. There’s this type of incredible light that sticks out within ourselves and frequently people make an effort to put it out, plus it’s great to find out it upheld. It’s probably simpler that you should be capable of play a personality that’s a little more complicated. I love it. I’ve always carried out character parts. I used to be always a personality actor. When I obtained the role of Jasper I mentioned, ‘Oh, that is fun.’ I buy to see this kind of strict very, very, very still character who’s quite and thoughtful and looking to address temptation of his instinct. I’m a very relaxed, easy-going guy, to experience kind of a buttoned up figure like Jasper was thrilling. Sometimes it is sometimes complicated for just about any band to tour in Europe the first time, but you think recognition from Twilight might help? Over time I have learned that Twilight has aided and impeded. So many people are wary that I’m an actress additionally to some music artist, and beyond what i’m in the movie that’s broadly seen as in a feminine demographic, or possibly a far more youthful feel. Our music, though, is not the kind of music that you just’d find around the Twilight soundtrack. We sing very eclectic music, our tunes different from dying for the demon or consuming, which we sing consuming anthems. We play stage like mad males. A lot of us change instruments. We’re greatly as being a raucous circus onstage, which i’m really excited to produce that to Europe. I’m less than sure just what the live music scene is finished there. We’ve really had an amazing response from European fans. Most of them have formerly flown to determine us inside the U.S. and then we desired to return the favor. We really wish to overcome and discover individuals who can’t see us. The primary reason it’s taken us this type of very long time can it be’s tough to become a completely independent band. Will there be anything you’re searching toward while using finish of twilighting, or anything you’ll get to accomplish this you haven’t done yet? I’ve been searching for time to direct. I have got a relevant video clip that we written that’s very important in my opinion. It’s a dark comedy based on my philosophical values around. … I like film, and I have since i've was like 13, 14 and visiting go watch free movies online within my pals’ houses because my parents didn’t let us watch greatly film. I saved the George A. Romero box number of zombie films underneath my bed mattress once i was 15 because my parents would’ve mentioned it absolutely was some form of evil and thrown it. Possibly you have carried out other projects with anybody you’ve met within the Twilight films, or plan to? I am hoping to, I like collaboration. I like coping with other artists, which explains why In my opinion film is actually crucial that you me throughout my existence. It’s why I'd like do direct. It’s the very best collaboration and since the director you oversee the collaboration. I consume everything, I’m a listener in your mind, therefore i think I am in a position to bring that part of my personality into pointing. Possibly you've acquired any habits in the organization company directors you’ve labored with? Certainly. My entire career I’ve attempted to not spend sufficient time throughout my trailer but constantly be on set watching the task of everybody. It’s amazing simply how much work people don’t know switches into filmmaking. If everybody understood simply how much push the button needed to produce a movie In my opinion everybody would stay for the finish in the credits in addition to their hands might be sore from applauding. There’s a multitude of artists and a multitude of departments that creates a film. It’s fascinating. Can you like the instant gratification to become onstage along with your band more? The moment gratification from getting fun with this rock band supplements that creative side of my brain. That’s why I am in a position to’t pick between acting or music or pointing or creating, or any part of art. I like photography, I like poetry. I’m moved due to it.

Russell Crowe To Inform A Winter's Tale?

Which matches little method to explaining a novel which involves vision quests, NY street gangs, protector angel flying whitened horses and messianic self-sacrifice.

A good concept, "Hell on Wheels" -- in regards to the launch in the transcontinental railroad, named for your moving encampment that surrounds its innovative -- will stimulate inevitable critiques to "Deadwood," both due to its tone and written content. The web result, however, is simply fitfully compelling, too for a collection about trains periodically expires of narrative steam inside the later legs in the five episodes previewed. Like "Deadwood," the camping can be a veritable cauldron of sin and debauchery -- full of whores, an imperious leader together with a racial/ethnic melting pot, all constantly inside a low simmer due to open wounds left with the just-found the final outcome Civil War. Driving the railroad forward is Thomas "Doc" Durant (Colm Meaney), who revels within the high-stakes project -- presently situated in Iowa -- being "subsidized with the enormous teat of the usa government.Inch His bombast is most likely the show's least appetizing elements, also to quote another old Southerner, From the Al Swearengen, and boy, you ain't no Al Swearengen. To the camping, meanwhile, comes Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), a gun-slinging former Confederate soldier around the ongoing mission of revenge, becoming lost his wife through the war. Bohannon may come to get a much more permanent role inside the camp's existence, striking up an uneasy relationship with Elam (the rapper-actor Common), who, like the majority of the freed greens swinging a pickax, doesn't see much gain from his plantation days -- and doesn't welcome still being bought around by white-colored overseers. Created by brothers and sisters Joe and Tony Gayton, "Hell on Wheels" has an unflinching glimpse at what's undeniably an incredible period, using rarely-heard racial epithets additionally to bloodshed and violence, together with a couple of stomach-churning moments of anesthetic-free surgery. You will discover furthermore a few wonderfully colorful supporting players, like Ted Levine since the camping foreman together with a railroad enforcer known to as Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl). In many ways, though, the show took its lead from Bohannon and Elam -- two figures that are harsh and joyless -- lower towards the washed-out earth-tones look. (Shot in Alberta, the imagery is convincing enough.) Possibly foremost, lots of key components -- the angry Confederate, the freed slave, the striving Irish immigrants, the Native-American brought to Christ, etc. -- appear culled from old Westerns. You will discover a later scene plucked from "A Man Referred to as Equine," which anyone who first seen it'll cringingly remember. Because the diverse combination of figures perform for the program's advantage on the extended haul, jumping backwards and forwards incorporated within this creates a diluted, herky-jerky ride at the begining of going. In one respect, "Walking Dead's" large ratings appears to grease the tracks with this particular new hour, except the zombie show skews toward a far more youthful audience, because the profile for Westerns is usually older. Since the p facto lead, Mount tersely provides plenty of tough-guy dialogue, wearily explaining his actions through the war by saying, "I did so the most effective I really could in the bad time." Substitute "inside an OK show," along with a great guide for the way "Hell on Wheels" chugs in the station.Camera, Marvin Hurry production designer, John Blackie editors, Todd Desrosiers, Kevin Krasny music, Kevin Kiner casting, Cami Patton, Jennifer Lare. 60 MIN.With: Ted Levine, Christopher Heyerdahl.

I Hate My Teenage Daughter Jaime Pressly spent four years and won an Emmy for terrorizing on-screen ex-husband Earl on My Name is Earl, but now she's bearing the brunt of the abuse on her new series I Hate My Teenage Daughter. The series, premiering on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 9:30/8:30c, follows single moms Annie (Pressly) and Nikki (Katie Finneran), who realize that by raising their daughters to be cool (as opposed to the nerds they were in high school), they have actually created two bratty monsters. "The relationship between Annie, my character, and my daughter Sophie is actually a really good one," Pressly says. Adds Kristi Lauren, who plays Annie's daughter: "Annie let Sophie grow up without a lot of rules and so Sophie thinks, 'Oh, I can do whatever I want.' They always have this struggle for power." Mark Consuelos joins I Hate My Teenage Daughter The question is whether both women can (finally) start disciplining their daughters, but also keeping those mother-daughter bonds intact. "My problem is that I always want my daughter to love me so much," Finneran says with a laugh. Watch an exclusive first look at I Hate My Teenage Daughter:

What Do YouTube's New Celebrity Channels Mean for Movies and TV?

Psst! Hey, smart guy, did you get your million-dollar advance from YouTube? If not, why not? According to an announcement made late yesterday, hipsters (Vice magazine, Pitchfork.com), actors (Ashton Kutcher, Amy Poehler), rappers (Pharrell, Jay-Z), and seemingly everyone in between (Madonna, Lionsgate, Shaquille O'Neal) have signed on to provide professional content for a series of new channels the Google subsidiary is expected to launch next year, in a deal valued at upwards of $100 million. Each partner will reportedly get an advance of up to $5 million; if and when that's recouped via advertising revenue, the partners will split any additional revenues roughly evenly. So what, if anything, does this mean for the future of movies and TV? Well, any time Google sets its sights on "revolutionizing" something, you can bet that big changes are coming -- whether or not the search giant itself succeeds in bringing them about. In this case, the target is cable TV, which every consumer in the land agrees is overpriced, under-serviced, infuriatingly attached to a one-size-fits-all model, and run by despicable people who in their free time do things like ruin the good names of once-venerable athletic organizations. If you've got an Internet-connected TV or Blu-ray player, you've sensed the promise of the future: a rich à la carte menu of programming options that allows each of us to choose and pay for what we want to see, when we want to see it, without being forced to finance 478 channels we never watch. But you've probably also grasped the problem, too: who wants to trade in one cable account, however pricey, for an ever-expanding collection of subscriptions to Netflix, Boxee, Roku, Hulu, Vudu, Amazon, iTunes, and beyond, especially if you still have to pay the cable company for your broadband (not to mention buy a set of 21st-century rabbit ears just to watch the Super Bowl or the Oscars)? What we are facing is not a technological hurdle but a licensing problem. You can't compete with cable if you can't cut the right deals; and by the way, the reason cable is so expensive is because those channels demand actual money in exchange for airing rights. In recent weeks, we've watched Netflix deflate dramatically as the expiration of its sweetheart deals with Starz and other outlets forced a somewhat desperate reassessment of its business model. In an interview with The NY Times Magazine, C.E.O. Reed Hastings was reduced to describing Netflix not as the future of entertainment but as an underdog competitor to HBO. What does any of this have to do with YouTube's new channels strategy? In one sense, it's a logical extension of YouTube's dominant position among video services: chances are, you've already downloaded the YouTube app to your Internet TV (especially if you've got a Google TV, which received an upgrade simultaneous with yesterday's announcement), but skateboarding-chicken videos aren't necessarily what most people look for when they settle in on the couch for an evening of entertainment. Maybe the promise of a skateboarding channel programmed by Tony Hawk, however, will persuade you to click the YouTube icon instead of the Netflix one. Instead of negotiating with studios and networks, YouTube is taking a stab at replacing them. (You can see the complete list of announced channels here.) Seen from that perspective, this project may best be understood as an incubator: chances are, 90 percent of these channels will go the way of UPN and The WB. But if YouTube can create even one or two viable long-term properties, this $100 million investment may prove well-spent indeed. No one knows quite what the future of Internet-enabled TV will look like, but at this very moment there are more ways than ever for new shows to find audiences without having to bother with the gate-keepers of broadcast and cable television. Any show that manages to build a loyal, digitally savvy audience from the ground up will have plenty of options for monetizing its success, from advertising, direct subscriptions, licensing deals, royalties, and merchandising spin-offs to -- why not? -- good old-fashioned fees from Time Warner or Cablevision. Obviously, YouTube wants in to that game. And so, by the way, does everyone else. This site's parent company recently announced that its streaming channel, AOL HD, will soon be available on Samsung Smart TV and Google TV. But enough shop talk. It's time to ask the most important question: Which one of YouTube's new channels would you subscribe to?

Broadcaster Jimmy Savile dies at 84

Savile in 2010Veteran British broadcaster Jimmy Savile, a famously eccentric culture figure, has died at his home in northern England. He was 84.Savile, known for his garish tracksuits, chunky gold jewelry and boundless enthusiasm for pop music and charity work, was the host of two long-running British television programs and claimed to have been a longtime confidant to Prince Charles and ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.Rarely seen without his trademark large cigar, Savile had initially worked in a coal mine as a teenager before embracing music and built a national profile as a disc jockey -- first in Britain's dance halls and later on radio, including the renowned Radio Luxembourg.West Yorkshire Police confirmed that officers had been called Saturday to Savile's home in the city of Leeds, northern England, and said that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. The cause of Savile's death is not yet known.Savile claimed have been the first DJ in the world to use two turntables -- enabling continuous music to be played -- inventing the techniques later embraced by modern dance music, and to have pioneered the use of record, rather than live bands, at nightclubs."History has it that I was the very, very first in the whole world" to organize a disco event, he told the BBC in May.Bestowed with a knighthood for his charity fundraising, Savile was best known as the host of the BBC's "Top Of The Pops" weekly television pop music show, launching the program in 1964 and returning to present its final edition in 2006.For almost 20 years from 1975, Savile also hosted the hugely popular series "Jim'll Fix It," in which the broadcaster responded to children's letters by arranging for their wishes to be realized.Savile championed a host of good causes -- frequently running marathons to raise money -- and led work to collect 20 million pounds ($32 million) for the creation of a national spinal injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in southern England."He was a very energetic character," friend and fellow radio presenter David Hamilton told Britain's Sky News television. "But most of all, I remember him as just a totally flamboyant, over the top, larger than life character and as he was on the air, he was just the same off."Savile never married and lived alone in his native Leeds, in northern England, reserving part of his home as shrine to his later mother.His guarded, and sometime curious, private life was the subject of a much watched television documentary in 2000 by film maker Louis Theroux, son of author Paul Theroux.

Captain Voyeur has thematic and visual ties to Carpenter's 1978 classic Halloween. One scene particularly is stated to possess a predominent connect to Halloween:"The voyeur puts on a set of glasses over his mask, much in the way that Michael Myers used glasses within the mattress sheet covering his mind within the Halloween prologue."The guy accountable for this unique find, Dino Everett has stated: "Captain Voyeur follows a guy in a boring computer job who eyes a lady at the office and follows her home. He dons a mask and tries to kill her but is shot by his co-worker."When the film is restored we expect the film to be shown on DVD release an internet-based, so soon we are able to see in which the legend first started.

Time Warner Cable 3Q Results Short Of Expectations As Video Subs Fall

The No. 2 cable operator reported net income of $356M, down 1.1% vs the same period last year, on revenues of $4.9B, up 3.7%. Earnings came in at$1.09 a share, missing the $1.14 that analysts expected. They also thought revenues would be slightly higher at $4.95B. The miss came as Time Warner Cable lost 128,000 residential video customers, ending the quarter with 11.9M. The company says that the drop in subs as well as inrevenues from premium channels and transactional VOD outweighed the additional cash the company saw from price increases and payments for installation charges and DVR services. The number of home broadband customers increased 9.2% to 9.8M in the quarter — but the company lost 8,000 residential phone subscribers, ending with 4.5M. All told, CEO Glenn Britt says that the company “posted steady financial progress” but will continue to “focus our efforts on maximizing our growth opportunities.” Still, some analysts are concerned. “If broadband is the anchor product, then video is increasingly simply the anchor,” Bernstein Research analyst Craig Moffett says. “Subscribers are falling, costs are rising, and margins are contracting.”
