And that's not even from one of their Halloween parties:    I'm telling you, it was a deal with Satan himself, had to be...

Scarlett Johansson is single again. I'd seriously think about signing on the dotted line there.

The trailer for Paul (Frost/Pegg's latest) is out. However, don't watch it! The film looks brilliantly funny but the trailer is spoiler-tastic and almost certainly shows all the best bits of the film, you have been warned...

 |  |  |  | Quote: Seventeen Lost Minutes From ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ Discovered
Merry Christmas, Stanley Kubrick fans. Devotees of the director have received some mouth-watering news this holiday season as seventeen minutes of footage cut from the stone cold sci-fi classic “2001: A Space Odyssey” has been found.
The news was confirmed by legendary effects master Douglas Trumbull who, while working with Dave Larson on a now canceled documentary on the film “2001: Behind the Infinite—The Making of a Masterpiece,” learned that Warner Bros. had found the footage in pristine condition sitting in a studio vault in a salt mine in Kansas. The footage is said to be comprised of scenes and sequences cut by Kubrick following the film’s premiere in order to tighten up the pacing. According to IMDB these were the cuts and changes made at the time and which are now likely among the uncovered footage:
-Some shots from the “Dawn of Man” sequence were removed and a new scene was inserted where an ape pauses with the bone it is about to use as a tool. The new scene was a low-angle shot of the monolith, done in order to portray and clarify the connection between the man-ape using the tool and the monolith. -Some shots of Frank Poole jogging in the centrifuge were removed. -An entire sequence of several shots in which Dave Bowman searches for the replacement antenna part in storage was removed. -A scene where HAL severs radio communication between the “Discovery” and Poole’s pod before killing him was removed. This scene explains a line that stayed in the film in which Bowman addresses HAL on the subject. -Some shots of Poole’s space walk before he is killed were removed
The biggest question now is what to do with the material. Undoubtedly, this is holy grail type material for Kubrick fans and cinema lovers in general. Already regarded as the crowning achievement in sci-fi pictures, another seventeen minutes of scenes sounds too good to be true. And while we’re just as curious as anybody to see those scenes, we really hope Warner Bros. doesn’t try and create some kind of “2001: The Premiere Cut” with the footage. Kubrick cut those scenes for a reason and the film as we now know it is the vision that he wanted. However, as bonus material in a new DVD/BluRay edition of the film, with commentary from the usual suspects like Jan Harlan, Douglas Trumbull and those who worked on the film, that would be something truly special.
The Kubrick/WB relationship is one of the great and rare director/studio relationships of all time. The studio famously gave Kubrick all kinds of latitude and freedoms regarding nearly every aspect of the production of his films (right down to the newspaper advertising) that filmmakers today can barely dream of. We hope that Warner Bros. honor Kubrick and the newly found footage in a manner that befits the late director. We’re definitely curious and with chatter now picking up about this material we figure an official statement from Warner Bros. will be right around the corner. |  |  |  |  |
http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/archives/seventeen_lost_minutes_from_2001_a_space_odyssey_discovered/I kinda wonder, in this age of RED cameras and such, will there be such discoveries in the future? Will hard drives turn up that are still viable?

The Kermode and Mayo Cinema Code Of Conduct to be printed out and then distributed to cinemagoers when you go off to your local multiplex. If only this would be adhered to.  Download your version here.

I would agree with the food examples, a complete ban on any food that crunches being sold within 100m cinema especially from takeaways. Also a ban on straws it encourages slurping. As for participation, Rocky Horror is much better with participation. Though for the vast majority I will concur.
