  4. *The Alien Anthology Is Finally Heading to Blu-ray on October 26th* July 15th, 2010 Sometimes, the scariest things come from within. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents one of the most successful and terrifying film franchises of all time when the Alien Anthology debuts on Blu-ray for the first time ever from October 25 internationally and on October 26 in North America. All four Alien films have been reinvigorated for an intense Blu-ray high-definition viewing experience. The release also marks the debut of MU-TH-UR Mode, a fully interactive companion that takes the extensive materials in the Alien Anthology and puts them in the user's hand - connecting fans to special features on all six discs and instantly providing an index of all available Alien content, including over 60 hours of special features and over 12,000 images. The Alien Anthology is a truly unique home entertainment experience. For the first time ever, the studio has united the material from every home video release of the Alien saga including the 1991/1992 laserdisc releases, the 1999 Legacy release and 2003's groundbreaking Alien: Quadrilogy release into one complete Blu-ray collection. The set also includes two versions of each film and over four hours of previously unreleased exclusive material such as original screentests of Sigourney Weaver prior to filming the original Alien, unseen deleted scenes, thousands of still photographs from the Fox archives, the previously unseen original cut of "Wreckage and Rage: The Making of Alien 3," and much, much more. The Alien Anthology will be available for a suggested retail price of $139.99 U.S. / $179.99 Canada. Prebook is September 22. The Alien Anthology is just one aspect of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's yearlong campaign to honor the studio's 75th birthday. This year the division will debut several select fan-favorites on Blu-ray for the first time ever including The Rocky Horror Picture Show, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, The Last of the Mohicans and The Sound of Music. http://www.movieweb.com/news/NE6tQH2xagdZ9b
  5. *Roy Rogers' Horse Trigger Bought for $266500‎* NEW YORK, July 15, 2010 CBS News *Roy Rogers' Horse Trigger Bought for $266,500* *Nebraska Cable Company Buys Singing Cowboy's Stuffed Horse; Rogers' 1964 Bonneville Convertible Nets More Than $250K* *(AP) Trigger has a new home - as do numerous items once owned by Western stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.* They were put up for auction yesterday at Christie's in New York, with an auctioneer calling it the "most colorful, emotional and sentimental" sale she's experienced in her 20 years with the firm. The hall was packed, with many of the bidders wearing Western attire and cowboy boots. There were even some tears. The items were from the now-closed Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Mo. They fetched more than expected, including Rogers' stuffed horse Trigger, which went for $266,500. It was bought by a cable company in Omaha, Neb. Rogers' 1964 Bonneville convertible, encrusted with silver dollars, sold for almost as much: $254,500. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/07/15/entertainment/main6680625.shtml

  7. *This sounds so interesting!* *?Made in Hollywood? exhibit opens at the Hood Museum - Dartmouth College!* The Dartmouth Duncan Bryer Tuesday, July 13, 2010 *Eternalized in the annals of American popular culture, from the Library of Congress to your local video store and now featured in the Hood Museum of Art, is the so-called ?Golden Age? of American cinema. This period, exhibited in ?Made in Hollywood: Photographs from the John Kobal Collection,? denotes the closing of the ?silent era? in the late 1920s to the early 1960s, when film production peaked at its most prolific rate.* A lifelong cinephile, Kobal believed that of the vestiges of this ?Golden Age,? the photographs of the era?s most memorable personas were the most profound. He assembled these photographs in ?Made in Hollywood? to offer a glimpse into this glamorous epoch and showcase his passion for collecting and curating American film culture through a photo-historical lens. The presentation of the movie stars from this period ? such as Bogart, Dean, Holden, Garland, Monroe, Bergman, among many others ? was starkly different than it is today. As the Golden Age was governed by a ?studio system? in which, through vertical integration, the studio conglomerates had ownership of virtually all aspects of production ? from the directors to the actors to the distributors, as well as most other players in Hollywood ? the studios, had an effective control over the publicity of Hollywood productions and its stars. As the movie stars were essentially photographed as a commercial means by way of studio promotion, the photographs in Kobal?s collection have been meticulously enhanced and embellished to capture the subjects in all their distinguished eminence. During that time, stars were not portrayed through a lens posturing realism ? their sexual liaisons, social indiscretions and family affairs were not brought to public focus to the extent that they are today. ?Unlike today, where the photographs we see of celebrities, like Lindsay Lohan or Brad Pitt, are ?candid shots? which seek to capture the ?real? behavior and spontaneity of the stars ? and often at their expense ? the pictures in this exhibit are constructed images which instead celebrate the stars? fame and glory,? T. Barton Thurber, curator of the exhibit, said. The commercial aim of these acclaimed shots is readily apparent, and as the fame of a particular star captured changed, so did the splendor and focus of the shot. Take, for example, the contrasting photographs of Golden Age icon Rita Hayworth, one taken in 1939 by Gene Korman and another captured by Robert Coburn seven years later for her prominent role in ?Gilda.? The former depicts a generic starlet posing alluringly on the snow while the latter, perhaps one of the most renown portraits of the era, depicts Hayworth smoking a cigarette in a sleek silk gown, accentuating her voluptuous figure and glamorous presence. The photographs of starlet Joan Crawford are another example of this scrupulous, perfectionist retouching process, as her ubiquitous freckles are almost entirely invisible. ?Made in Hollywood? does not necessarily seek to further canonize the Golden Age into American popular culture, as it has long since been an epochal relic. But rather, and more effectively, the exhibit celebrates this bygone period by framing motion picture into the art of still photography and ironically refreshes the Golden Age for a new generation. The exhibit, which opened this past Saturday, runs until September 12. http://hoodmuseum.dartmouth.edu/exhibitions/2010hollywood/index.html http://thedartmouth.com/2010/07/13/arts/Hollywood

  9. *Judy Garland - Dear Mr. Gable (You Made Me Love You) Lyrics* Dear Mr. Gable, I am writing this to you and I hope that you will read it so you'll know My heart beats like a hammer and I stutter and I stammer every time I see you at the picture show. I guess I'm just another fan of yours and I thought I'd write and tell you so. You made me love you I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it. You made me love you and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it. You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad. But there were times, sir, you made me feel so sad. You made me sigh 'cause I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you I think you're grand, that's true Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do. I must tell you what I'm feeling The very mention of your name sends my heart reeling. You know you made me love you! Aw, gee, Mr. Gable, I don't wanna bother you! Guess you got a lotta girls that tell you the same thing. And if you don't wanna read this, well, you don't have to. But I just had to tell you about the time I saw you in "It Happened One Night". That was the first time I ever saw you, and I knew right then you were the nicest fella in the movies! I guess it was 'cause you acted so, well so natural like - not like a real actor at all, but just like any fella you'd meet at school or at a party. *Then one time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford, and I had to cry a little 'cause you loved her so much and you couldn't have her - not 'till the end of the picture, anyway.* And then one time I saw you in person. You were making a personal appearance at the theatre, and I was standing there when you got out of your car, and you almost knocked me down! Oh - but it wasn't your fault! Naw, I was in the way. But you looked at me, and you smiled. Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you meant it, and I cried all the way home me just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way! Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable. Honest. You're my favorite actor! (singing) I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop. As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top, 'cause you know you made me love you.
