...late 70s you started THX and Pixar and ILM to explore and exploit the new technologies. Have you started new companies to follow these particular technological dreams...
...brave new digital world, form is defining content. Because the toys are so cool, directors make movies to exploit their technical possibilities. That's why James Cameron, after doing Titanic, the all-time top grosser, stopped making feature films to shoot underwater documentaries with his favorite new toy, the 3-D camera. Going back to his old camera, he told ComingSoon.net "just seemed like going back from a car to a bicycle." Battle Angel, his first feature since 1997, will be shown in 3-D.

...just that kind of early-warning leverage that cancer doctors are starting to exploit. Their latest strategies take advantage of the fact that some cancers actually show a gender preference.

In the presence of that hormone, which circulates in higher levels in women, lung cells are exposed to more of the carcinogens in cigarette smoke. Harnessing estrogen's ability to speed up some metabolic...

...explicit and offensive rap song brought to us courtesy of “Hustle and Flow”—a movie that seeks to inspire our sympathy for Terrence Howard’s character by showing us just how hard it really is to exploit and abuse women. Its win on Sunday provides a clear example of mainstream America’s willingness to take notice of and uplift music and films that portray black Americans in the most negative possible light. While some insist that Three 6 Mafia’s win represents a positive turning point...
