...Reel: 1. On the first Scarface, Howard Hawks' 1932 adaptation of the Armitage Trail novel: The film faced considerable censorship challenges from the Hays Office, which oversaw the industry's Production Code. In fact, two different cuts of the film were eventually created, and individual states could decide which version should play on their screens. "Accused of being too violent, plagued by censorship problems, scripted by a flamboyant writer, and starring an actor who sometimes went over the top on his accent - remind you of a movie we know? The 1932 Scarface both dovetails and diverges from its sequel...
...loaded. The company still had $18.9 billion in cash at the end of the third quarter despite having burned through $7.7 billion in that period - half of which was tied to halting the production of F Series pickups because of slow sales. The company recently introduced a new version. Ford Credit, the company's finance arm, remains profitable because, unlike GM's 49%-owned bank, GMAC, it doesn't have a subprime mortgage business. On top of that, Ford can still draw on credit lines totaling $10.1 billion. "We are doing everything we can to create a relevant company...
Paul Randle, the chief engineer for the Mustang, says Ford's engineers have also improved both the horsepower and the fuel economy on both the V8 and V6 versions. While the final numbers aren't available yet from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ford is expecting that the V6 version will get a "best-in-class," 26-miles per gallon. The "Five-Star" crash rating is also unchanged. "You can be riding in a $1.8 million Bugatti and you won't get any better protection," says Randle. The 2010 Mustang will also come with a completely new suspension based...
...Meyer's Twilight novels made me curious. She's a constant reader of novels, from Harry Potter to The Secret Life of Bees, but not typically a fangirl: never got into Gossip Girl, never bought boy-band T shirts or posters. But now, as the release of the movie version of Twilight approaches, she and her friends have lost their minds. They call it OTD: Obsessive Twilight Disorder. My daughter was mobbed when she brought a movie magazine to school. When Robert Pattinson, who plays the vampire hero Edward, was scheduled to sign autographs at a San Francisco mall, police...
...Mara, the Giants owner, says the competition committee discusses overtime reform every off-season. In both 2003 and 2004, owners voted on a scaled-back version of the proposal outlined above. Each team would be guaranteed a single offensive possession, but after that, it would be sudden death, first to score wins. Not 100% fair, but a vast improvement over the current rules. To implement a rule change, three-fourths of the owners must agree with the proposal. In '03, just 55% of the owners approved it. The next year, only 22% jumped on board...
