    Yahoo! Movies To Unveil Special Preview Of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle LOS ANGELES -- Oct. 28, 2002 -- Yahoo! Movies, the Web's leading movie site in terms of audience size according to Nielsen//NetRatings (September 2002), will offer film fans their first glimpse of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle five days before the trailer's debut in movie theaters. The much-anticipated preview of the Columbia Pictures movie premieres today at http://movies.yahoo.com and at http://www.sony.com/charliesangels/. The release of the trailer for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle on Yahoo! Movies reflects a fan-driven trend emerging in the online marketplace, with 40% of all ticket-buyers hearing about a film via the Internet (NRG, 2002). Whether trailers, outtakes, extended sequences or bloopers, film buffs are seeking exclusive footage weeks or even months before the film's release date. Filmmakers are responding in recognition of growing consumer appetite for this type of content and the ultimate potential impact on ticket sales. "We're proud to host this special preview of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, already a fan favorite on our site," said Doug Hirsch, senior director of Yahoo! Movies. "Yahoo! Movies has a tremendous track record for debuting the kind of footage that gets fans excited for the film's release. We've produced over one hundred online exclusives in conjunction with Hollywood's largest film studios, but we think this will be one of our most popular previews."

    March 28, 1994 LB 137 to hurt some people. And probably the majority of those products, the overwhelming majority, are not going to be manufactured here in the State of Nebraska. And more importantly, a lot of the products, the few products that we do manufacture here in the state, they are sold outside the State of Nebraska, so they don't have an impact... they have to meet those standards of all the other 50 states as well. So they are being...they are under those product liability laws in those other states. I want to thank Senator Kristensen for bringing the amendment. I don't know if I am going to support it because I don't think it takes us that last final step. He takes the obvious ones that I think that's good. I think it is a step in the right way and maybe this debate will help to formulate his decision so they will take that step and acknowledge that... PRESIDENT ROBAK: Time. SENATOR ABBOUD: ...there will be other manufacturers that we need to protect our citizens from. Thank you. PRESIDENT ROBAK: Thank you, Senator Abboud. Senator Lindsay announces the following guests are visiting the Legislature. Edna Turvold, Orville Walswick, and Della Newlin, all from Northwood, Iowa are here under the south balcony visiting the senator. Will you all please stand and be recognized. Thank you.

  • During the 1930-60'S, Hollywood Directors Were Told to "Put the Light Where the Money Is" and This Often Meant Spectacular Costumes
    During the 1930-60's, Hollywood directors were told to "put the light where the money is" and this often meant spectacular costumes. Stuidos hired the biggest designers and fashion icons to bring to life the glitz and the glamour that moviegoers expected. Edith Head, Adrian, Walter Plunkett, Irene and Helen Rose were just a few that became household names because of their designs. In many cases, their creations were just as important as the plot of the movie itself. Few costumes from the "Golden Era" of Hollywood remain except for a small number tha have been meticulously preserved by a handful of collectors. Greg Schreiner is one of the most well-known. His wonderful Hollywood fiolm costume collection houses over 175 such masterpieces. Greg shares his collection in the show Hollywoood Revisited. Filled with music, memories and fun, the revue allows the audience to genuinely feel as if they were revisiting the days that made Hollywood a dream factory. The wardrobes of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Andrews, Robert Taylor, Bette Davis, Ann-Margret, Susan Hayward, Bob Hope and Judy Garland are just a few from the vast collection that dazzle the audience. Hollywood Revisited is much more than a visual treat. Acclaimed vocalists sing movie-related music while modeling the costumes. Schreiner, a professional musician, provides all the musical sccompaniment and anecdotes about the designer, the movie and scene for each costume. The show has won critical praise from movie buffs, film historians, and city-wide newspapers. Presentation at the legendary Pickfair, The State Theatre for The Los Angeles Conservancy and The Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel met with huge success.

  • Some Things and Ideas: September 2020
    Some things and ideas: September 2020 Some random thoughts on articles that caught my attention in the last month. Note that I try to write notes on articles immediately after reading them, so there can be a little overlap in themes if an article grabs my attention early in the month and is similar to an article that I like later in the month. Writing earlier in the month is a particular challenge for an environment as wild as this one; for example, if I link something from early April like "Apple tells staff stores closed until early May or "Equinox won't pay April rent," by the time I post those articles in late April the information is wildly out of date (people will be more concerned with Equinox paying May rent!) even though it's super interesting! Premium / word of mouth I launched a premium YAVB in April (announcement / overview here), and we updated it (and the rest of the website) with version 2.0 in August. I've had a lot of fun doing the premium site so far; if you enjoy the free blog, I think you'll love the premium site, so I'd encourage you to subscribe. The general goal of the premium site is to post one deep look at a company and/or investment idea each month, and then do a monthly general update post (kind of like this post, but with a heavier focus on investing specific things, individual investment updates, and my thoughts on them), but it's still a work in progress! Don't feel like subscribing? No worries! However, one of the reasons frequency of posts / podcasts / other public stuff can fall off is because I look at them and wonder: "Is it really worth my time doing these for this small an audience?" A lot of work goes into all of these, and I hope that the output is generally of interest / high quality.
