POPSTechnothrillers vs. Science Fiction "I'm not sure this explains the sales figures-- after all, people don't generally know the details of the ending before they buy a book-- but I thought it was an interesting remark, and pretty accurate given my limited reading of thrillers."

POPSIf Michael Jackson Album Covers Were Honest I will never forget that day I bought "Thriller." My mother, who is a strict Baptist, thought I was going to hell. So I bought it at the mall one day when she wasn't looking,. I was probably 14 or 15 years old. Anyway, she had to listen to it first before it was approved. The funny thing is, she loved it. Except she didn't like "Thriller." Something about all of those dead people rising up from hell. Oh well, it was baby steps. Funny she didn't say anything about Billy Jean. (Not my lover, heee!) Several years later, she was singing "man in the mirror!" Yeah, I know, I'm going to hell.

POPSAngels & Demons: It's A Thriller, Not A Crusade - May Face Vatican Boycott Had Mr. Donohue and his allies waited to see Angels & Demons before criticizing it, they would have seen references to struggles within the Church between faith and science, but they would also have seen clear signs of support for the pursuit of science at the highest levels of the Vatican. Indeed, one of the first scenes of the movie depicts a scientist at the high-tech CERN laboratory...and he is a priest.

POPSMichael Jackson- Thriller Two nights ago, I was browsing around on http://youtube.com, watching music videos and I came across this classic ‘Michael Jackson- Thriller’ video which, after all these years I still find it extremely awesome to watch. Nobody beats the ‘King of Pop’……evarrr!!!!! p.s: MJ is no pedo.

POPSScorcese's 'DEPARTED' the movie of the Fall I saw this movie over the weekend. It was a ton of fun to watch- i can't say that i thought the movie was 'oscar worthy'-- but i thought Leonardo DiCaprio was. It was a true sit-at-the-edge-of-your-chair flick. A good time for sure..but Leo amazed me, he was incredible.

POPSMichael Jackson's unexpected death stuns world Wow, I don't know what to say. I'm shocked... he was one of the most famous people on the planet and an extremely talented but disturbed man. I'm just thinking about his kids and the strange arrangement that was made with their mother and what that will mean for them. I feel bad for those kids.

POPSSmells like literary spirit Some people reckon sniffing books is a bit of a fishy fetish. But I scent a sweeter story, bound up with books' power to enchant. Does this get up your nose, too?

POPSRon Howard: Vatican obstructed 'Angels & Demons' But he said the Vatican nevertheless exerted influence regarding his filming permits, and he was told it would not be possible even to shoot scenes in Rome that had churches in the background. "When you come to film in Rome, the official statement to you is that the Vatican has no influence," he said. "Everything progressed very smoothly, but unofficially a couple of days before we were to start filming in several of our locations, it was explained to us that through back channels and so forth that the Vatican had exerted some influence."

POPSDocumentary about Japan's Obscene Dolphin trade O'Barry's band of outsiders proceeds with anarchic vigor. They thwart and enrage the local authorities in order to get their message on the radar. Part environmental documentary, part horror film, part spy thriller, The Cove is as suspenseful as it is enlightening as it shows exactly what film can do in the hands of those who aren’t afraid to risk it all for their cause.

POPSObama Killed Michael Jackson! The first paragraph is from the cigar-sucker's own web page. The rest, and below, is from politicsusa.com. Rush’s comparison does not work. It doesn’t make sense. Partisan politics can’t be applied to something as random as a celebrity death. Ronald Reagan had as little to do with Jackson’s success, as Obama did with his death. Jackson’s talent made him the world’s biggest star in the 80s, not Ronald Reagan, and Obama did not cause Jackson’s heart trouble. The wingnut pundits are doing everything they can to cast Obama in a bad light. He's a tyrant and a dictator, but they descend to trivialities like his choice of mustard or his reaction to a reporter's intrusive ringtone. The cognitive dissonance it takes to agree with these people is becoming more conflicted every day. What's next - blame Obama for the Teapot Dome Scandal?
