Shepard Smith Clarifies and Apologizes for Robin Williams ‘Coward’ Remark -
Mediaite
Smith is the one who's a coward. He's hiding under his rationalization, while we all knew what he meant. Own up to it, Shepard, and act like a man about it. This happens a lot with moralistic, supposedly "Christian" people. They judge at will, because they think they somehow have a right to. And, suicide is a prime topic for them with which to do this. In my hometown of St. Louis, there was an assistant minister in a Presbyterian church near downtown. He committed suicide after a long bout of depression following a serious skiing accident. I was severely disheartened to hear that, during his actual funeral service, the lead minister said it was too bad that he couldn't go to heaven, since he committed suicide. So, while this lead minister and everyone else stood by while this man suffered, they had the gall to condemn him during his actual funeral service. Smith has shown himself to being part of this group.

John Carter -
IMdB
"John Carter" is a new science-fiction film that opens on March 9. It is adapted from Edgar Rice Burrough's "Princess of Mars." It will be in 2D, and post-converted IMAX and RealD 3D.
For me seeing it, we will see if "John Carter" gets the 14,000 watt MegaScreen treatment in St. Louis! Others should be able to see it in IMAX 3D. Since the movie is in CinemaScope (aspect ratio 2:35:1), I would elect to see it in its proper aspect ratio, instead of IMAX, where you'll lose about half the width. The movie could be interesting. Luckily, Michael Giacchino is doing the film score, so that should be good!
