What is your opinion?

Cloverfield. Here's what we know so far...

Here's a bootleg trailer. It showed up before some Transformers screenings. Click!



Here's the youtube vs - not as easy to follow. You can hear someone say, "It's alive! It's huge!":


Here's the wiki article: Paramount is denying the movie even exists. Click!

It's all shot on consumer cameras from the perspective of the people running from the monster (or whatever it is) on the street. Might be a secret Godzilla movie, not sure.

This is the first thing I've been excited about in a year or more. Good job, other JJ, my interest is peaked (and that's hard to do)!



What is your opinion?

Scooter does a lot less time than Paris did...

What is your opinion?

Art Bell Retires...again (sigh)!

from wiki:

Art Bell announced his retirement from weekend hosting on July 1, 2007. Art stated that the reason for this latest retirement is his desire to spend time with his wife and new daughter born in May, 2007. Art Bell stated he will host occasional shows in the future but will no longer host regularly on weekends. Art also said that unlike his other "retirements", this one will stand.

I don't know how many of you have ever listened to Coast to Coast AM. To me, and all of us freaks who find themselves up late at night and want to pass the time listening to stories of bigfoot, Area 51 and shadow people, it's the best. The weekend is when it really shines for me though - I just like listening to Art.

Yeah, I'm depressed.

Music Industry RIP - via Rolling Stone .com

The major labels are struggling to reinvent their business models, even as some wonder whether it's too late. "The record business is over," says music attorney Peter Paterno, who represents Metallica and Dr. Dre. "The labels have wonderful assets -- they just can't make any money off them." One senior music-industry source who requested anonymity went further: "Here we have a business that's dying. There won't be any major labels pretty soon."

In 2000, U.S. consumers bought 785.1 million albums; last year, they bought 588.2 million (a figure that includes both CDs and downloaded albums), according to Nielsen SoundScan. In 2000, the ten top-selling albums in the U.S. sold a combined 60 million copies; in 2006, the top ten sold just 25 million.
