Staff shared a personal story about having to spend a night in Logan airport to catch a 6 a.m. flight because the subway to the airport did not provide service early in the morning and financial concerns prevented him from taking a taxi by himself...
...feel when you heard Scorsese was remaking your film? I thought, "That's great." I'm a fan of Scorsese. When I was younger, I watched Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and Casino. That's why I'm disappointed. I thought Scorsese would make a different movie. I understand they really liked Infernal Affairs.

...Bezos just tested his first prototype for personal space travel in West Texas. John Carmack, co-creator of the Doom and Quake games, is test-firing rockets for the next generation of spaceliners and lunar landers near Dallas.

PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, who has a NASA contract to build a robotic Pony Express to the International Space Station (ISS), is pouring his own millions into a ship for galactic travelers...

In comparison, the spaceship being developed in great secrecy by Bezos' Blue Origin looks like a lopped-off nose cone. The three-seater, fueled by hydrogen peroxide (yup, the common household...
...Greengrass, “United 93”; Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, “Babel”; Martin Scorsese, “The Departed”Ok, this is ridiculous. Three 6 Mafia, the blinged-out rapping trio, has an Oscar, while the man who directed “Taxi Driver,” “Raging Bull,” and “Goodfellas” has never won. Scorsese’s recent “Gangs of New York” and “The Aviator” are admittedly not his best work...
