...assistant waiter, to the Buenos Aires flat that his reclusive, much older brother Tetro (Vincent Gallo) shares with mistress Miranda (Maribel Verdú). Tetro, a budding writer, had walked out on the family after a fight with his domineering, priapic father Carlo (Klaus Maria Brandauer). Carlo, a famous conductor who hounded his own musician brother for being less successful, had stolen Tetro's dancer girlfriend and taken her as his second wife. Bennie discovers an unfinished play of Tetro's, written in code, about two generations of animosities and betrayals. Bennie, who has long idolized Tetro, takes the manuscript, writes...
...Azoff says the critics, whether famous, furious or both, are missing the point of the merger: that it would produce greater efficiencies in the music business, which theoretically would benefit ticket buyers and artists. The proposed megamarriage of Ticketmaster and Live Nation, if approved by regulators, would combine the country's largest ticketing company with the nation's biggest concert promoter. Since the $2.5 billion all-stock deal was unveiled in February, a throng of players, ranging from angry independent concert promoters to frustrated music fans, has been drumming the Department of Justice to block the deal, claiming the merger...

Historicaltweets.com has re-imagined famous moments throughout history as Twittered by the people who experienced them. Some entries are by politicians (Abe Lincoln: "Gr8 show tonite. Ford is the perfect venue for AAAAARRGH!!"). Others are by fictional characters (Odysseus: "Back home! Who r all these random dudes?"). Some even mock taboo subjects (Lou Gehrig: "Found...
...dictator has long had a passion for movies, but he evidently believed North Korea's cinema wasn't up to his standards. In the late '70s, when his father Kim Il Sung was running the country, Kim apparently ordered the abduction of Shin Sang-ok, then perhaps the most famous film producer in the South, and his wife, Choi Eun-hee, a famous actress. Shin was imprisoned for four years, then forced to make a socialist-friendly version of Godzilla. He and his wife eventually escaped during a business trip to Vienna in 1986. Shin died...
