Lots of Hollywood folk drop the name Nina Foch when they talk of acting influences. An actress turned teacher who taught directors such as Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz how to work with story and with actors, Foch has died at age 84.

Remember Pearl Harbor. Did you know the civilian deaths in Honolulu were from friendly fire? Or that it wasn't supposed to be a sneak attack? The Japanese screwed up delivering the message!

The film is
BATTLE ROYALE!
Perhaps one of the most controversial films to come out of Japan in recent years, "Battle Royale" (based on the best-selling Koshun Takami novel) is "Lord of the Flies" meets "Survivor" with guns: in a dystopian Japan of the near future, the government places one class of grade nine students on a remote island, gives them each a weapon, and lets them loose in a fight to the death. Despite being branded the rarely-used R15 rating (restricting the film to those aged 15 and over) when it opened at the tail end of 2000, "Battle Royale" quickly became both a critical and box office success, both domestically and in other Asian film markets. And though the film will probably be remembered more for its graphic exploitation of teen violence, "Battle Royale" also makes some rather pointed remarks about Japanese society and history.
The Psychotronic Film Society was founded 25 years ago by Del Close, Supervixen Pam Boom Boom Smith and Michael Flores. Del died, Pam got married, Flores remains. "YOU CAN'T KILL A MAN BORN TO HANG"!

Jews for Hitler? Excuse me, is anyone anywhere on earth studying history anymore? http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=296114&sw=neo-Nazi
BEST SITE OF THE DAY:
It has remained one of World War II's most enduring mysteries, one that resonated decades later after Sept. 11: Who in Washington knew what and when before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941?
Specifically, who heard or saw a transcript of a Tokyo shortwave radio news broadcast that was interrupted by a prearranged coded weather report? The weather bulletin signaled Japanese diplomats around the world to destroy confidential documents and codes because war with the United States, the Soviet Union or Britain was beginning.

Did anyone try to warn people about Pearl Harbor?
