When the news about Home Premiere — the DirecTV service that will allow subscribers to watch relatively new movies in their homes 60 days after release for the totally reasonable price of $30 — leaked during CinemaCon two weeks ago, the National Association of Theater Owners was predictably upset: “[We] repeatedly, publicly and privately, raised concerns and questions about the wisdom [of early on-demand movies],” said the group in a statement . “These studios have made their decision in what they no doubt perceive to be their best interests. Theater owners will do the same.” So they have — and now it affects you.
www.NGTV.com http From the DIRTY MUSIC VIDEO channel at NO GOOD TV come the uncensored Director’s Cut of the track “GO THAT FAR” from the legendary front man from POISON, Bret “Motherfuckin’ Michaels!!! Although Bret Michaels has led the rock band Poison for the last twenty years, he has consistently worked on special solo projects. Bret has recorded with Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down, Mark Wills, Chris Cagle, Stevie Nicks, Uncle Kracker, Phil Vassar and Jessica Andrews. He has also performed with the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr., Drowning Pool, Kenny Chesney, members of Kiss and Steven Tyler. Bret can also be heard in Uncle Krackers duet with Kenny Chesney called Last Night Again. Bret and Phil Vassar share background vocal duties. Bret was asked to appear onstage at Lynyrd Skynyrd’s television reunion Live From The Fox Theatre. Bret jammed alongside Travis Tritt, Charlie Daniels, Ozzy’s Zakk Wylde, Tom Keifer, Donnie Van Zant and Peter Frampton. Michaels performed The Beatles song, “Drive My Car” for a RADD PSA alongside Paul McCartney, Melissa Etheridge, Clint Black, Lisa Hartman, Ringo Starr and many others.

A new poll released by the New York Times Friday is sure to rock the liberal media’s world: “Two-thirds of New York City residents want a planned Muslim community center and mosque to be relocated to a less controversial site farther away from ground zero in Lower Manhattan.” Another finding likely to particularly upset the shills at MSNBC: One-fifth of New Yorkers acknowledged animosity toward Muslims. Thirty-three percent said that compared with other American citizens, Muslims were more sympathetic to terrorists. And nearly 60 percent said people they know had negative feelings toward Muslims because of 9/11. Here are more of the surprising details: Over all, 50 percent of those surveyed oppose building the project two blocks north of the World Trade Center site, even though a majority believe that the developers have the right to do so. Thirty-five percent favor it. The poll, however, reveals a more complicated portrait of the opposition in New York: 67 percent said that while Muslims had a right to construct the center near ground zero, they should find a different site. Most strikingly, 38 percent of those who expressed support for the plan to build it in Lower Manhattan said later in a follow-up question that they would prefer it be moved farther away, suggesting that even those who defend the plan question the wisdom of the location. And this is the point the mosque’s backers in the media – in particular the shills at MSNBC such as Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Ed Schultz – have missed: this issue isn’t about Constitutionality or rights. Most people outside the liberal press are intelligent enough to understand that developers have the right to build this mosque if its zoning is approved. They just question the wisdom of doing so. If an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers can understand the difference between having the right to do something and whether or not it would be appropriate, why can’t media members?
Nothing warms the heart quite like a note from Tyler Perry to his fans, who this morning took a break from pursuing his credit-card hackers to get the lowdown on his sumptuous island getaway with an unnamed “very special friend.” (“We’re sunbathing and swimming, I’m flying my RC planes.”) A sumptuous island getaway which, by the way, Mariah Carey happened to cut short when she suddenly dropped out of his film For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf less than a week before shooting.
Perhaps the only endeavor more difficult than saving post-Katrina New Orleans was creating a television series that intimately captured the perspective of the disaster-torn city. But that is exactly what Steve Zahn and the ensemble cast of HBO’ s freshman series Treme have done under the guidance of The Wire ‘s David Simon and Eric Overmyer. Zahn portrays a passionate disc jockey and musician whose frustration with the Big Easy’s snail-like rebuilding pace leads to brilliant anti-administration country songs and random displays of passive-aggressive rage. As the series nears the end of its freshman season, Zahn phoned Movieline yesterday from his Kentucky farm to discuss his transition into television, his hope that Treme will cover the BP oil spill and the one biopic he’d love to headline.
The first look we get at Clive and Elsa, the rock-and-roll gene cutters at the center of Splice , is from the perspective of the biogenetic blob they have just coaxed from its gloppy, synthetic womb. Their faces are eager and expectant, shining beatifically but intently down on their latest creation: Welcome to the world! What can you do for me? Whether there’s a place in that world for these not-found-in-nature experiments is hardly a concern — “Fred,” a partner for the already thriving “Ginger,” was born in a lab and meant to stay there, a species created solely to host unique (human) life-saving proteins. That the new parents radiate total confidence in the wisdom of such activity — even as they are watched in turn by their little monster — is the first indication of what’s in store.

Quagmire is by far one of the most popular characters from any animated series, and with good reason. This perverted pilot has given us a wealth of sound bites and, of course, the ubiquitous ‘giggity’. The following is a list of our favorite Quagmire moments, styled as part of our “Timeless Wisdom” series
