I saw this at the first run theater and it was my first glimpse into the weird world we lived in. I instantly became a huge fan of the “Mondo” movies. This was the first. . . I will feature more in the future. I know, it’s weird. But, then, let’s face it so an I. Hope those of you who have seen this film enjoy it again. And those of you who haven’t, welcome to “it is a dogs world”. . . EDITOR
Mondo cane (A Dog’s World, 1962) is a documentary written and directed by Italian filmmakers Paolo Cavara, Franco Prosperi and Gualtiero Jacopetti. The film consists of a series of travelogue vignettes that provide glimpses into cultural practices around the world with the intention to shock or surprise Western film audiences. . . .

Here is another change in the law that is designed to keep information out of the hands of the people. Many of these old books, magazine and films are setting in rooms slowly rotting away. This is a horrible form of permanent censorship. . . EDITOR
What Could Have Entered the Public Domain on January 1, 2013?
Under the law that existed until 1978 … Works from 1956
The Best Things in Life are NOT Free
Current US law extends copyright for 70 years after the date of the author’s death, and corporate “works-for-hire” are copyrighted for 95 years after publication. But prior to the 1976 Copyright Act (which became effective in 1978), the maximum copyright term was 56 years – an initial term of 28 years, renewable for another 28 years. Under those laws, works published in 1956 would enter the public domain on January 1, 2013, where they would be “free as the air to common use.” Under current copyright law, we’ll have to wait until 2052.1And no published works will enter our public domain until 2019. (The law in the EU is different – thousands of works from authors who died in 1942 are entering their public domain on January 1.) Even more shockingly, the Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that Congress can take back works from the public domain. Could Shakespeare, Plato, or Mozart be pulled back into copyright? The Supreme Court gave no reason to think that they could not be. . . . Read Complete Report

After After Earth starring Will Smith: movie review
Rick Osmon
The most memorable movies for me are usually those that I just buy a ticket without researching anything about the film. Sometimes I wish I had my money back, sometimes I wish I had my time back, and sometimes I want both with a double my money and time back coupon. Occasionally, I hit a random winner.
Days after seeing After Earth, I read Rotten Tomatoes’ one star review and wondered if they saw the same film I did. Apparently not.
Adapted from an original story by Will Smith, After Earth is a post-apocalyptic thriller complete with space travel, separated families, whizbang gizmos, extreme fear, extreme life forms, extreme courage, comparative triumph, and a handful of surprises, the most striking of which is Will Smith’s character. Will Smith as a stoic and distant father is not what I would expect, but he portrays that very, very well. The idea that a military leader and his son are distant, that the father is stoic, that fear for self preservation takes a back seat to fear for family are all less discernible for folks who never lived it, thus some of the reviews in other places. A character who displays nearly zero emotion has to be one of the most difficult roles Will Smith ever portrayed.

A Must have in every Western Fans library. Click on movie poster.
As a western movie fan this movie would certainly be in top 10 list. But then again, if you combine the action filled story of the revolutionary hero Pancho Villa and get Sam Peckinpah, Robert Mitchum and Charles Bronson to tell the story you can’t go wrong. This is one you western fans, and anyone who likes a movie might check out. . . EDITOR

Though there have been coffee-table books on lesbian pulp fiction of the 1940s, cheesecake pin-ups of World War II and classic film noir posters, the stylistic evolution of the quintessentially American true crime genre has been overlooked until now. This month, communications and art history professor Will Straw launches Cyanide and Sin: Visualizing Crime in 50s America in New York City and Montreal.
Thanks to a compulsive five-year eBay habit, Straw has amassed boxes of Inside Detective, True Mystery, Men in Danger and the like. He sifted through that private collection for the nearly 200 images reproduced in the book. “I wouldn’t be here as a McGill professor if I weren’t a comic book geek who got into movies, then film studies,” said Straw. . . .

We present a report on the most sucesseful television mind control campaign ever perpetrated on the peoples of the world. It all started by making the price of their new propaganda machine, the ‘TV’, cheap enough to quickly put one in every home in the 1950’s, then start pushing their products right in your living room as often as possable. And we watched and listened and bought and inhaled until cigaretts were killing more people than natural causes. . . . EDITOR
Let’s take a look at some of the television cigarette commercials used in the early mind control methods to make people want to smoke through their commercials. Those of you not old enough to remember keep in mind that these commercials ran over and over day after day just as the products commercials they want us to use run constantly. Of course if you want to really control what people to buy the obvious place to start your indoctrination is with your children. . . EDITOR
This old TV commercial is totally unbelievable! In the Flintstones’ first season on ABC, the original sponsor was Winston Cigarettes. If they tried this today they would have a riot on their hands!
Amazing how far we have come. now people now the serious effects of smoking and they still do it. This is what I am asking.. with all the people who die a year from smoking how come the cigarette companies have not been prosecuted for genocide?
John Lennon and George Harrison make a Marlboro Commercial
!n 1969 Phillip Morris decided to direct their mind control marketing towards young girls and woman with their “Virginia Slims” campaign. It was a hung success. . . EDITOR
The killers at Raleigh Cigarettes saw a chance, not only to sell cigarettes, but to get in on the fast growing mind-control use of the Television propaganda machine to get the audiences to want to purchase a constant supply of stuff! That something new was to offer coupons inside packs of cigarettes. the more you smoked, the more free stuff. . . . Double mind control.
Lucy and Desi seemed to talk from both sides of the mouth. While they huffed and puffed Phillip Morris on “I Love Lucy”, they rented out their facillities to rival Raleigh for commercials. Here are some of their spots.
Marlboro started using one of today’s most popular mind-control methods along with the visual of TV and famous people – Popular music.
Probably the most remembered cigarette mind-control campaign was the those ads put out by Marlboro using the theme music fro one of the most popular western movies of the day, “The Magnificent Seven.”
Years later The Duke made another commercial. Although not a mind-control cigarette commercial I thought it to be be a fitting ending video for this report. . . . EDITOR

A lethal weapon that can vaporize targets and whole cities from miles away seems like the stuff of sci-fi movies, but Jesse and his team find that this technology could be all
too real. Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory interviews the real heavy-hitters of this story: Dr. Judy Woods and John Hutchison.
Ventura says he doesn’t know how the WTC towers were brought down but the use of this technology makes the most sense.
I attended last year’s event and I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute – even tho I ended up sleeping the first night on a couch in the lobby. This year also features some fantastic personalities from those movies and TV shows with “STAR” in their titles -Rick Osmon
View a special NASA exhibit and tribute to astronaut Neil Armstrong at Starbase Indy, a Midwest science fiction convention, during Thanksgiving weekend Nov. 23-25 in the Indianapolis Marriott East, 7202 E. 21st St. Also on tap will be a chance for a Klingon makeover by a makeup professional, as well as guest stars from the television shows Star Trek and Stargate SG-1.
Besides the NASA exhibit and guest stars, the weekend festivities at Starbase Indy will include Star Trek-based musical groups, arcade games, robot battles, a masquerade, sessions on science and science fiction, and a free showing of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers (2012) at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 23.
“Starbase Indy’s Tribute to Neil Armstrong NASA Exhibit brought to Indianapolis by Shane Company” came about when Starbase Indy wanted to honor Neil Armstrong, the first human to set foot on the moon. He passed away this year, but his life encouraged many young people to reach for the stars. Starbase Indy contacted NASA to arrange a special exhibit of memorabilia from America’s space program; among the items will be an Apollo helmet and space shuttle glove, a moon globe, Apollo 11 displays, and 12 to 25 NASA photos of the historic mission. Hoosier native and NASA astronaut David Wolf is also scheduled to attend Starbase Indy, pending NASA approval.
Turning from science to science fiction, one Starbase Indy attendee will win a full Klingon makeup treatment from professional makeup artist John Paladin. Paladin will also create Klingons out of actors Robert O’Reilly and JG Hertzler for their in-character appearance on stage and for photo ops Saturday, Nov. 24; both portrayed Klingons on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Other guest stars are Nicole DeBoer, who played series regular Ezri Dax on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; Alexis Cruz from Stargate SG-1; and Deborah Downey from the original Star Trek. Larry Nemecek, a prominent Star Trek author, archivist and consultant, will share his insights.
Beside seeing guest stars, convention-goers can don otherworldly garb to wander the halls of the Marriott and to strut their stuff on stage in the Masquerade contest, where the convention stage is built like the bridge of the starship Enterprise. Other convention activities include a robotics room to build and battle robots, and a 1980s video arcade room with games set on free play. Of course, the dealers’ room offers out-of-this-world items for science fiction fans who seek to beat the Black Friday crowds. Dinner with the Stars is back again this year, giving fans a chance to mingle with the stars and see them perform.
Star Trek fans can rock on with the second annual Battle of the Bands between Five Year Mission, a musical group that composes songs based on episodes of the original Star Trek, and il Troubadore, a Klingon band; both are Indianapolis bands. More music is in store during a Five Year Mission concert and a music room where other bands will play.
Starbase Indy is a non-profit organization and supports charities in the tradition of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, who believed humans could create a better future. This year Starbase Indy’s charities are Cats Haven, a no-kill shelter; LUNGevity, which funds research and treatment of lung cancer; and the Jason Foundation, an educational organization dedicated to the awareness and prevention of youth suicide.
Cost to register for the entire three-day weekend is $40 in advance and $45 at the door, a price that has changed little since the early 1990s. Single day prices are $25 for Friday, Nov. 23; $35 for Saturday, Nov. 24; and $30 for Sunday, Nov. 25. Children age 12 and under are free. This is the 17th year for Starbase Indy, a convention run by local fans, for fans. For more information or to register, go to www.starbaseindy.com or call (317) 513-8651.
