Lou Gehrig's Message Lives On

Berry Tramel: Lou Gehrig's message lives on
70 years later, the Iron Horse's speech is still greatest sports speech ever
Published: July 3, 2009

Yankee Stadium rang out with cries of "We want Lou! We want Lou!,” but Lou Gehrig remained silent.

Gehrig sought the comfort of the dugout, his only sanctuary in the four weeks since doctors told him why he no longer could hit rockets or catch missiles.

Bat and glove no longer followed his commands, so why be on the ballfield? He had dreaded this m… Continue

Warner expands reach of MOD (Made/Manufactured on Demand titles)

Amazon, other retailers carry classic DVDs
By Susanne Ault -- Video Business, 7/1/2009

JULY 1 | PHYSICAL: Warner Archive Collection titles are getting broader distribution at retail.

The deep catalog offerings, which include such titles as The Mating Game, Possessed and Once Upon a Honeymoon, are part of the manufactured-on-demand Archive Collection by virtue of the fact that their limited sales potential had prevented a traditional retail release. Yet, there’s now enough consumer interest in… Continue

We All Killed Karl Malden by Tallulah Moreead

The voice sobbing on the phone was my oldest surviving friend, Vincent Lovecraft, my co-star in so many movies, always as the lustful villain who swore at me again and again his timeless catch-phrase: "Love me - or DIE!" But now he wasn't threatening me; he was trying through tears to ask me, "Where were you when you heard about - about - [sob] about GS?"

No need for him to say more. I knew he meant Gale Storm, the Queen of Com, everyone's Little Margie, the Greatest Entertainer of the 20th Cen… Continue

All Media Is Fiction

All media is fiction. Everything you see, hear and read, in print and on any screen anywhere is a fabrication that has been altered, edited, censored, and pointed towards a preconceived agenda. It is not true, it is not real, is not the whole story by any stretch of the imagination—which it is, but it’s not really anyone’s imagination either.

It is a corporate product; a mind game conceived of by faceless committees meant to dupe anyone within view or earshot into complacent consumerism. It is… Continue
