quote of the day

Life's distractions are sealed off outside those four walls, as our field of vision becomes filled with the vision of the filmmaker. Dramas have more impact, thrillers have more thrills, comedies have more funny. And every once in a while at the end, we do something really remarkable: We applaud. We don't applaud at our televisions. We don't applaud at our smart phones. We don't applaud at our iPads. But, after a great movie, we applaud. That's the power of the moviegoing experience. Today, we may live in an era in which we can own any movie we wish. But, in the theater, movies own us.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO - Dreamworks Animation, a proponent of new technologies recognizing the appeal of seeing movies in theaters in his acceptance speech for the Sid Grauman Award at 29th Annual American Cinematheque Award Tribute.

I was slightly skeptical but thoroughly intrigued about cooking like THE JETSONS with MELLOW. Then I saw BURNT and now understand the "SOUS-VIDE" method of cooking... Something a friend mentioned to me last night: "An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes..." MEN IN BLAZERS have put together quite a list of football (soccer) minds for BLAZERCON. Buy tickets now for NOVEMBER 13-14. Finally, the sport is taking off on U.S. media. Even PREMIER LEAGUE... Can athletes actually, scientifically get hot? We explore the idea in our new REDEF SportsSET: THE HOT HAND... Last night I dressed up like someone who has no issues... The U with a 8-lateral kickoff return TD to upset DUKE. ROB LOWE thinks Duke was robbed. TWITTER is lit up... Take advantage of the best library in the history of television: recommendations from the archive of HBO GO/NOW: DEADWOOD and EASTBOUND & DOWN...
