The Power of Positive Thinking
You can't fault the good folks at the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) for feeling a tad beleaguered these days. For four years they've been toiling away at implementing the 1995 court order, known as the Hollman decree, that requires them to revamp North Minneapolis's public-housing projects. And every step of the way, they've had to contend with nattering naysayers.
When the city bulldozed 416 townhomes and apartments in the Sumner Field and Olson projects, critics complained that the tenants were being thrown to the rental-market wolves. When officials touted their plan to spend $135 million to reconstruct the neighborhood as a "mixed-income" development complete with "signature amenities" including a brand-new lake and a parkway, the whiners cried gentrification. And from the paroxysm of bellyaching that ensued when contractors began demolition of an additional 306 housing units in the Glenwood and Lyndale projects Tuesday, you'd have thought the entire corps of Twin Cities housing advocates had just eaten the same batch of bad tuna salad.
Some people are just never satisfied.
Fortunately, the MPHA is staffed with folks who are assiduously trained in the art of positive thinking. Which brings us to a press release the agency issued last month, aimed at setting the record straight on its Hollman-related accomplishments. As a public service, and in order that our readers may fully appreciate the blinding degree of skill that goes into looking at the bright side so consistently, we have annotated the document.
Near North Families Exercising Greater Housing Choices
Note the shrewd use of the terms exercising and greater. The former emphasizes volition on the part of the displaced residents; the latter, while clearly pointing to an increase of some sort, carefully leaves that matter open to interpretation. Greater than what? No one's going to ask.
Nearly 70 families purchase their first homes
No need to remind everyone that the most prominent of those homebuyers--Lucy Hollman, the woman for whom the Hollman decree was named--just made the front page of the Star Tribune because the house she was finally able to buy was worth about half what she paid for it, and was headed for foreclosure.
Altogether, 388 families who used to live in the Sumner-Olson and Glenwood-Lyndale housing developments have completed the relocation process and secured the housing option of their choice.
Another fine use of the word choice. Though almost half of the former Hollman-area residents surveyed in a 1996 MPHA-commissioned study indicated that they'd rather have their units renovated than move, if staying is ruled out everything else constitutes an "option."
This apt phrasing also neatly sidesteps the issue of what transpires once such an option has been "secured." A good number of the families the MPHA relocated have publicly complained about their new apartments; in a 1997 Urban Coalition survey, 25 percent of the former Sumner/Olson residents questioned said their housing quality had worsened, and 78 percent said the move had separated them from friends and family. More recently, families have picketed the MPHA offices, saying the agency broke its relocation promises. Some are preparing to file formal complaints with HUD.
The further good news is that nearly 70 families who formerly lived in Near Northside public housing developments are now first-time homeowners.
"I'm very pleased to hear the good news that hundreds of families are using their relocation benefits to find better housing choices," said City Council President Jackie Cherryhomes. "It demonstrates the City's commitment to find housing for these families."
It's hard to imagine how else these families might have managed to spend money earmarked for this specific purpose--but there's no law against stating the obvious.
The 388 families were relocated by the redevelopment of a 73-acre site on the Near Northside that includes Sumner and Olson developments, which have been demolished, and the Glenwood-Lyndale developments, where demolition is pending.
Use of "site that includes"--as in "including, but not limited to"--is not accidental. In all, the city is using Hollman to obliterate close to 1,000 units--770 in the projects and nearby "scattered-site" homes, plus 188 in the Bryant Towers high-rises. And don't even bring up the additional low-income buildings--including the Cecil Newman Apartments, a few blocks from the Hollman site--city officials want to bulldoze while they're at it.
The redevelopment is part of the requirements--called a consent decree--from a 1992 lawsuit, Hollman vs. Cisneros, which alleged the City pursued discriminatory policies by concentrating public housing on the Near Northside.
And which also alleged that the MPHA allowed tenants' roofs to leak, walls to crack, and playgrounds to become overrun with rats, that windows stayed broken for months at a time, ceilings were green with mold, and yards were full of bare, and lead-laced, dirt. Why go into unpleasant details, when the whole mess is being torn down anyway?
The lawsuit was filed in the summer of 1992. The Fourth District Court in Minneapolis approved the settlement by issuing a consent decree on April 22, 1995, which outlines the terms of the settlement.
What's left elegantly unsaid here is that the settlement didn't "outline" the demolition of the Olson and Glenwood-Lyndale units; it simply required a redevelopment "action plan," to be created with input from the neighborhood. A community focus group recommended bulldozing all the units, then reversed itself and begged the city to leave them standing. Too late, said officials.
Plans for the $135 million redevelopment include up to 450 new housing units, new park spaces, and a parkway boulevard connecting south and north Minneapolis.
That $135 million sure looks like a nice chunk of change. Especially when you consider that about $80 million of it comes from federal, state, and local coffers--a subsidy of almost $180,000 per house, townhome, or apartment, in a development where 75 percent of units will rent and sell at market rates. Had the cash simply been distributed among the 650 or so households displaced by the demolitions, each family would have seen a windfall of $125,000--enough to buy a small house in southwest Minneapolis. If you add in the money being spent to build public-housing replacement units around town and in the suburbs, Hollman's price tag comes to around $140 million, or almost $215,000 per displaced household. Now you're almost talking Kenwood!
Of course, that would be ridiculous. The way to spend redevelopment dollars is to give them to developers. And McCormack Baron, the St. Louis-based company the city picked to build the new Hollman neighborhood, brings vast experience to the table, having spent public money in places like Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Little Rock.
And let's not forget those 450 new housing units. The consent decree called for the construction of "up to 368" new public-housing units on the Hollman site. The City Council decided that that meant it should build 450 units, and that only 112 of them should be public housing. That's an almost 90 percent reduction in the number of MPHA units in the area. Who says you can't win the war on poverty?
The following is a breakdown of the housing options chosen by the 388 families:
67 families--17 percent
Other public housing:
154 families--40 percent
Section 8 rent assistance:
163 families--42 percent
Market-rate housing:
4 families--1 percent
Positive thinking can take you only so far. But if you've got to present hard numbers, you may as well re-emphasize those options and choices--and maybe no one will notice that 82 percent of the Hollman families have ended up back in public and subsidized housing, meaning that the families who have spent years on the waiting list for those same homes will just have to wait a bit longer. (And the 770 units in middle-class city neighborhoods the decree requires to be built as replacements for the Northside projects? Funny you should ask: After four years, 47 are ready, according to the MPHA.)
The Legal Aid Society of Minneapolis, which along with the NAACP represented the families in the lawsuit, has continued to work with 13 of the 17 families named Hollman plaintiffs.
"Has continued to work with"--indeed. For months now, critics have circulated an internal MPHA memo stating that three of the original seventeen Hollman plaintiffs were homeless, three more had been evicted from their new apartments, one was on the waiting list for an MPHA unit, and two couldn't be found. The agency's response has been to call the memo an inaccurate draft. Now, apparently, it's time to straighten things out.
The other four plaintiffs left town, discontinued contact, or said they no longer needed assistance.
That's almost 25 percent out of the way right there.
Of the 13 plaintiff families the Legal Aid Society has continued to work with, four purchased homes, five are using Section 8 rent certificates, or vouchers, three live in public housing, and one is in a transitional housing program.
There. No one sleeping under a bridge or crashing on a sister's couch. Okay, a few families "had brief periods in which they were homeless," acknowledges Timothy Thompson, the Legal Aid attorney who represents the plaintiffs. "But those were due to things that had nothing to do with Hollman."

Darkroom/Resources/HP Scanjet G4010
Hello my family member! I want to say that this article is amazing, great written and come with almost all significant infos. Id like to peer extra posts like this . dfdfabedgbedgfae
What does it scan
Flatbed things, 35mm
Where does it live
Currently on top of the black help in the darkroom.
What belongs to the scanner
- Scanner!
- AC/DC adapter (labeled)
- USB cable
- Built in 35mm loader
- Replacement loaders for 35mm, slides, medium format
The built in loader is white, it's built in, you'll know what I mean when see it. This particular loader I found to be about 2-4mm too skinny, so I took a Dremel to it. That was a dumb idea and it's kind of crap tastic now.
I ordered a replacement loader from a site that said should work, words from HP apparently. When I got the loader, loaders actually, they're totally not specifically made for the G4010, but it lines up right, it just might work. Haven't tested.
Should work with Sane under Linux.

Man admits domestic assaultOctober 04,2013Man ignores his
lawyer with plea
A Rutland man previously convicted of a federal gun charge ignored his lawyers advice Monday and pleaded guilty to domestic assault.
Steven J. McAuley, 33, pleaded guilty in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of second-degree aggravated domestic assault.
My client is entering into this plea against my advice, defense attorney Nelson Floyd told Judge Theresa DiMauro.
Floyd said his client had received alternative offers that would be better for his criminal record and better for his future.
In August, McAuley was sentenced to 63 months in U.S. District Court in Rutland for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Under his plea agreement Monday, McAuley was sentenced to 44 to 45 months in prison, to be served concurrently with his federal sentence.

Vinegar & Butter Pie Crust
Total Time
Prep 15 mins

- 14.79 ml white vinegar
- 1 extra large egg
- Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
- Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Whisk the vinegar, egg, and 1/2 cup of ice water together and mix into the flour mixture with your hands until just combined.
- Transfer to a clean work surface, and gently press to form a dough.
- Divide dough into 4 equal parts.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. I loathe making pie crusts because I can never roll them out round and they always break and are crumbly. This was not crumbly at all-it was perfect. AND, I finally got the beautiful fluted crust I have always dreamed of. However, one of the things I liked best was it did not have lard. The taste was absolutely fantastic! I will never use another crust recipe!
I have never baked a homemade pie in my life, but decided to give it a shot for my husband's and daughter's birthday. I was a little stressed out during the process, but it turned out amazing. I had to roll the dough pretty thin, because I have a 10 inch deep pie pan, but 2 crusts were enough and didn't fall apart on me while I was rolling them. I baked a little less than the 50 minutes. I also did another trick I found online and before filling the bottom crust, brushed with egg-white to prevent soggy-bottom. My husband was impressed, the pie was delicious, and i have conquered my pastry fear! Thanks!
Now that I've found this, I will NEVER make my usual pie crust again! I've never had good luck with butter crusts--I prefer lard--but this was truly excellent. Super soft and flaky and very buttery. I cut the recipe in half and it made enough for one 9" deep dish double crust pie. GREAT recipe, and very easy, too!! I was worried because my dough was so soft, but it rolled out beautifully and didn't stick. Thank you!

I have had an overall positive experience living in the Villas of Pasadena Apartment Homes. I feel that more Read Morecommunication is needed, I think posting announcements in addition to an email would be highly effective. Like posting an announcement when maintenance is taking place in the complex or posting announcements of Pasadena events. Even encouraging tenants to share accomplishments in their lives. These are all positive, on a more serious note...I feel it should have been communicated to all the tenants when the homeless man was using the 2nd floor laundry room as a bedroom. I would like to see some social events, ie. wine & cheese, balcony decorating contests, board game night or a meet your neighbor night. We have a wonderful community room that is being under utilized. I do realize that participation may sometime not be the best, but the more opportunities that are available the more enthusiastic people become. I thank you for your time.

These were excellent! They tasted a lot like Chili's. The only thing I did diffrently was puree the spinach mushroom mixture in the food processor before mixing with the artichokes and cheese. I can't wait to make them again!

I'm aware of the IE b0rkage. And, yes I know it's pink. I like pink :)
i absolutely love it, but then Im a sucker for anything thats not plain old white/light blue/yadda yadda yadda :)
wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many blogs look the same to me, color sets you apart, I think it looks awesome :)
Nice blog, keep it up!
Very cool indeed....
Oops, commented immediately on your site and almost forgot to comment here. Love it. I think it's impossible to not get happy looking at it ;)
I like it, it glows. Nothing wrong with pink.
I'm just not too sure about looking at those vertical lines for too long. It almost makes me sea-sick, it's casting some kind of optical illusion. But maybe it's just my bad eyes.
I'm trying to hypnotize you with the stripes! :D
Thanks for the nice words guys.
The design is great. I like the alternating navigation boxes. Looks fine is Safari 1.3.

Police are looking for the person responsible for creating a homemade bomb and exploding it in a parking lot.
Colorado Springs police say they were called to a report of a pipe bomb explosion in the parking lot of an apartment complex located at 1633 E. Woodmen Rd. around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.
When police arrived, the device involved included a mixture of chemicals, two tin cans and a fuse which had been lit. The result was a small flash fire and small scale explosion.
The device was not a pipe bomb as was initially feared. No one was injured and no other property damage occurred.
Police are still looking for the people responsible. If you have information, call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Linda Fullhart, M.Ed.
ASPIRE Academy 5th Grade
Glenhope Elementary
Conference: 10:40 - 11:30
I graduated from The University of Iowa with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education back in the 1970s. I completed my Master's of Elementary Education degree with a specialization in Gifted Education from University of North Texas in the 1990s. I have completed over 18 hours of master's classes concerning working with the gifted. I continue to attend seminars - locally, state-wide, and nationally to increase my knowledge of working with gifted learners.
I have been teaching in GCISD for 26 years. For the last 20 years I have been a Gifted Specialist - most recently at Glenhope and Bransford. In 2012 I had the honor of being named Silver Lake's Teacher of the Year and then in May 2012 was honored again when I was chosen as the GCISD Elementary Teacher of the Year. There are so many wonderful teachers in GCISD, I will work to make sure I live up to this distinction!
I am thrilled to be part of the ASPIRE Academy this year! I have worked as a mentor and guide to this group for the last 2 years and jumped at the opportunity to be the second 5th grade teacher! Mr. Boykin and I are having a great time team teaching for part of the day as well as teaching our own math classes and having time with our homeroom classes as well.
Teaching Philosophy:
Giving students the tools they need to become a life-learner is how I view my job as a teacher. The tools that I feel students need are the ones that will make them better thinkers and decision makers; ones that help them to respectfully challenge others' ideas; to learn to be able to justify their own thinking and opinions, and to be true collaborators. The thinking tools we use in the ASPIRE Academy classes include: higher-order thinking skills, Intellectual Traits, deBono's Six Thinking Hats, Thinking Maps, FFOE, Socratic questioning, and metacognition. I also want my students to see that they are capable of professional student products. I want the students to not only be consumers of the world wide web, but to also be producers of knowledge to share globally with their peers. Ultimately, I want to make learning fun and engaging, but I also push my students to experience the exhilaration of challenge.
After growing up in Iowa and spending several years traveling around the country with my husband, who was then a US Naval Aviator, we settled in Grapevine where we have now lived for 27 years. We have two grown daughters. The oldest lives in New York City and the younger lives in Grapevine. I am pleased that in January/February my husband and I will become grandparents when my daughter in Grapevine has TWINS!
When I am not teaching, you can usually find me reading, working/collaborating on my computer, baking, traveling, or following my passion - theatre. I am one of the many volunteers at Grapevine's Runway Theatre. I have worked behind the scenes as a member of Runway Theatre's Board of Trustees, an assistant director, stage manager, committee chair, and general volunteer. In the spring of 2010 I had the opportunity to direct my first show, Getting Sara Married. It was a wonderful experience! I have also been seen on stage in several productions there and at other local community theaters. "The arts" runs through the blood in my family. My husband and daughters have also been involved in many aspects of music, theatre, and dance. They also have spent many long hours volunteering with me at Runway Theatre. In 2009 I was honored when Runway Theatre awarded me as their Volunteer of the Year and in August 2015 I was honored to be inducted into Runway Theatre's Hall of Fame. Come to a show and experience the awesomeness of live theatre!
School Memories:
I believe in the power of stories. My students can probably best tell you about many of my experiences as an elementary school student. The time I decided to skip school in 3rd grade (and had to stay after for 30 minutes a day for 12 days to pay back the time I missed) to the time I had a wardrobe malfunction one cold winter day in Iowa (before girls were allowed to wear pants at school), to my first starring role in a school play, to my love of reading - especially Little Women (until the Harry Potter series arrived), to the Christmas ornament I made in my 6th grade art class that still hangs on my tree today. I look forward to adding new chapters to the stories of my life with my time here at the Swamp. As I said, I believe in the power of stories and personal connections - feel free to drop by sometime and we can swap stories.

How Much Should A School's Reputation Play Into Your College Decision?
Tuesday, I talked about Malcolm Gladwell's article on college rankings, as well as my own opinion of their importance. My takeaway: at the very least rankings can be a decent measure of a school's current reputation. So then how heavy should a school's reputation weigh in one's college decision? Let's consider a hypothetical scenario. You […]no comments
Fewer SAT II Subject Test Requirements – Should You Still Take Three?
For many years, top colleges required not only SAT or ACT scores, but SAT Subject Test scores, too. The general rule was that competitive schools required three SAT IIs.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

DETROIT - Stan Ovshinsky, the self-taught inventor who developed the nickel-metal hydride battery used in the hybrid vehicle industry, has died at his home in suburban Detroit after a fight with cancer. He was 89.
Ovshinsky, who ran Energy Conversion Devices, a car battery development company, also created a machine that produced nine-mile-long sheets of thin solar energy panels intended to bring cheaper, cleaner power to homes and businesses.
His son, Harvey Ovshinsky, said his father was passionate about science and alternative energy, but also about civil rights and other social causes. He said his father died of complications from prostate cancer Wednesday night at his home in Bloomfield Hills.

Hi all,
How do I remove the bullet list style from sidebar?
See the link to the site here : http://www.hendralauw.com/2008_01/cms/wp/
I created a new sidebar and I placed it at the top in the middle portion of the page before the posts. Then I use the Text widget to enter the content for the sidebar.
The content in that new sidebar has bullet list style eventhough I did not code it that way.
How do I remove the bullet list style so the content has no indentation?
Thanks all !

April 1995 - May 2015
Fletcher was Pet World's store bird, a double yellow headed amazon parrot. She was hatched in April of 1995, in captivity in Kansas City, and had been a part of Pet World since before she even had feathers! One of the owners (Tim) purchased her as a "Mother's Day" gift for the other owner (Sherry) who thought Fletcher was a boy. One day, a Bird Department manager, Jacki, decided to run a DNA test. The results came back female but we never revealed this secret to Fletcher. With quite the customer following, Fletcher spent her days talking up a storm with customers, visiting schools, and participating in our educational programs to help teach children about birds. Sadly, we lost Fletcher in the devesating Pet World fire on Memorial Day, 2015.
While we have lots of birds at Pet World who learn to talk, there was a good chance that anytime you heard a wolf whistle, a "Hello!" or a quiet "Hi," that was Fletcher. Her first words were "Hola" and "Mama" and her funniest phrase was "Heeeeeeeere Kitty Kitty!" If she wanted attention, she would shout "Mama!" until someone talked to her. Yes, she did say the infamous, cliché, "Polly want a cracker?" but she learned that from customers! Fletcher is buried at PW's tortoise farm and will be sadly missed.
Te see Fletcher's commemorative artwork by the staff and Erin Bratzler and for Sherry's personal tribute to Fletcher please visit her blog post at www.sherryemerson.com/?p=153 anytime.
The Tortoises
Pet World houses giant rescue tortoises during the colder, winter months.
Our customer favorites are probably the giant African Spur Thigh tortoises also known as Sulcattas. These guys are so spoiled that not only do they live in an outdoor enclosure during the summer months that is bigger then our entire store (with a greenhouse, trees, and all of the sunshine, grass, wildflowers and clover they can get) but when they're brought inside for the winter they're hand fed by customers every day at 4 o'clock! One male, Dos Equis, died in 2014. The remaining male (the biggest of the bunch) has three girls in his group. We're unsure of their ages because we rescued them as adults some years ago with no real way to tell their age, but we estimate they're between 35 and 50 years old. The smallest of the girls, Baby, was born at Pet World in Y2K. She came to us in 2010.
Smaller but not to be forgotten are the four Red Footed tortoises that also spend their winters indoors at Pet World! These adorable little guys are the parents to the baby red foots you see in our store every year. They may be smaller but they have all of the personality of our bigger tortoises and absolutely love bananas. As the smaller of our tortoise staff members these guys often participate in our Educational Programs and come with us to local schools.
Carlita came to us in 2011 as Carlos. After further examination we realized this full of personality green iguana was actually a female and not a male! Soon, Carlos became Carlita and has been a working part of our animal staff ever since. When she's not sunning herself in her enclosure, eating, or taking a nap this big girl is making visits to schools, at birthday parties, and is a regular at Story Time Live and Feature Creature!
We're unsure how old Carlita is, but we know she isn't quite full grown yet so we're excited to watch this big, often misunderstood, reptile grow as she becomes quite the star in our store!
May 2006 - March 2013
Tofu was Pet World's Savannah Monitor. Tofu came to us in the spring of 2010 when his owners could no longer take care of him. We met Tofu and, even though he was old and out of shape, we knew right away he would make a great addition to our animal staff! Tofu was about 2ft long (not including his tail). He spent his days much like a fat cat - napping, sunning himself under his heat lamp, and overeating whenever possible. Tofu is fondly remembered for visiting schools and participating in our educational programs to teach children about these large, often misunderstood, reptiles.
Tofu passed away in his sleep in March, 2013. He lived a long, happy, life and brought joy to many through education and endless photo opportunities. Pet World is happy to have had Tofu for the last few years of his life. He will be missed.
Goliath is Pet World's locally famous Burmese Python and has been a part of our staff for many, many years. He is currently about 13' long weighing about 100 lbs but he will grow to be close to 20ft when full grown and weigh up to 200lbs. He spends his days at Pet World napping, basking under his lights, exploring his cage, going to schools and participating in our educational programs teaching children that snakes aren't always scary, slimy reptiles and demonstrating the importance of understanding your pet's needs not only when young, but also when full grown. Goliath is staying with a friend but we recently got confirmation that Goliath's new, two story exhibit (with a heated undergound den) is scheduled to arrive at the end of May!
Read more about Goliath here: http://sherryemerson.com/?p=176.
Queen Latifah
May 2009 - May 2015
This is the beloved Queen Latifah. She was born in 2009, a harlequin/dalmation Crested Gecko, and sadly died in the Pet World fire. We got her in April, 2014, and in one short year she had been to TONS of birthday parties, presentations, and became an immediate PW favorite. Although we didn't have her for long, she made an impact on the hearts of everyone she met. Mi Ranchito even named a drink after her, the Queenie Margarita, to raise funds for Pet World that you can still order today in her memory.
Here is a quick, cute video of her drinking from her waterfall!
The rest of the crew!
Pet World is also home to any number of other animals used in our education programs! This currently includes, but isn't limited to: a Taiwan beauty (Haiku), a bearded dragon (Lola), and an adult albino blood python. Plus, a lot of our staff members will even bring their own pets to show during educational programs! We also bring animals that are still for sale in the store and are constantly adding to our animal staff.
Stay tuned for information about the newest animal staff members....

The Rock Officially Confirms His 'Shazam' Role on Twitter
Dwayne Johnson has been teasing his involvement in a 'Shazam' movie for years now, constantly asking fans on social media if they'd rather see him play the title superhero or his nemesis, Black Adam. Today, it looks like that decision has finally been made. Johnson took to Twitter and revealed that he'll be playing Black Adam.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Trounces All Newcomers
A few weeks ago, this column was skeptical that Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' could reach $300 million. Now, it seems impossible that it won't. Thanks to ecstatic word of mouth, killer marketing and only one genuinely successful box office challenger (that would be 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'), Marvel's oddball space opera has managed to spend three of the past four weekends at the number one spot at the box office, giving it enough momentum to officially become the highest grossing film of 2014.
Robert Downey Jr. Says 'Guardians of the Galaxy' is the Best Marvel Movie Yet
Marvel Studios and the character of Tony Stark/Iron Man transformed Robert Downey Jr. from a has-been into one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, so it's not surprising that he'll sing their praises outside the context of the movies he stars in. However, he recently took it a big step further, declaring 'Guardians of the Galaxy' to be the best Marvel movie yet. Yep, even the ones that he's not in.
2014 Emmys: Weird Al Yankovic Provides Lyrics For Your Favorite TV Themes
The 2014 Emmy Awards skewed a little hipper this year, with host Seth Meyers and his army of comedically inclined friends providing more laughs than your average stodgy awards show. However, the ceremony went full internet-friendly when Weird Al Yankovic, hot off the first number one album of his lengthy career, took to the stage to provide your favorite TV shows with the one thing they so desperately need: lyrics.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Sin City' Sputters, 'If I Stay' Surprises, 'Guardians' Reigns Supreme
You can tell the summer movie season is coming to an end because the weekend box office has stopped being exciting and has starting becoming sad and weird. The past two weeks have seen several major movies bomb, but nothing could have prepared us for 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.'
WookieeLeaks: 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Rumors Tease New Villains and Old Heroes
ScreenCrush's WookieLeaks is a weekly roundup of everything 'Star Wars'! From 'Star Wars: Episode 7,' to the upcoming spinoffs and the TV shows, if it pertains to that long ago, far away galaxy, we're covering it here, bringing you our expert analysis. This week, we parse through a whole bunch of crazy new rumors, learn when 'Star Wars Rebels' will premiere, and salivate over a new 'Star Wars' board game.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Expendables 3′ Can't Keep Up With the Guardians or the Turtles
A trio of newcomers entered the box office arena this weekend, but two battle-hardened and grizzled champions kept them at bay, holding onto the top two spots and making it look easy. Sorry, newbies: This top 10 still belongs to 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Stormtroopers Design Revealed?
'Star Wars: Episode 7' is deep into filming, but everything we know can fit into one small box. Everything else is conjecture, speculation and rumor, educated guesses from people in-the-know and nonsense from fans with grand imaginations. We're not sure where this latest news falls yet, so we're just going to leave it here and let you be the judge. Is this the new 'Star Wars: Episode 7' Stormtroopers design?
Weekend Box Office Report: The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Battle the 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
30 years after their comic book debut and several decades since they last ruled the box office, the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' returned this week and proved that they're as relevant and popular as ever...
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Conquers the Universe
Up until the day it opened, 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was a big question mark at the box office. Could Marvel Studios continue its winning streak with a movie based on a practically unknown comic series that only has light connections to the rest of the films in their cinematic universe...
'Ghostbusters 3′ Eyes Paul Feig to Direct, Will It Be a Female-Led Reboot [UPDATE]
Like some kind of restless spirit, 'Ghostbusters 3' refuses to die. Despite countless massive setbacks that would have completely derailed a film with less name recognition, the film keeps on lumbering forward, surviving countless abandoned screenplays. However, big news has arrived today, as Sony is reportedly eyeing director Paul Feig to take over the project, but will the film end up being a reboot instead of a sequel?
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Lucy' Takes Down the Mighty 'Hercules'
This weekend saw two movies named after their lead characters go head-to-head. In one corner, you have 'Lucy.' In the other, 'Hercules.' If you asked the average person who would win in a battle between Dwayne Johnson and Scarlett Johansson, most would probably side with the guy whose nickname is "The Rock." But the box office this weekend went in a completely different direction.
