  • “Rush” Gets Rave Reviews For Ron Howard

    “Rush”, Ron Howard’s new film based on two real-life race car drivers, is getting rave reviews this week and is even being called Ron Howard’s best film to date.

    Howard–whose directorial credits include “Apolla 13”, “Cinderella Man”, and “The Da Vinci Code”–is garnering praise for the film’s high energy, fast-paced retelling of a true story that manages to incorporate a story and characters that viewers actually care about, which is sometimes hard to find in an action-based film. The stars of the movie agree.

    “Rarely do you get a film which ticks this many boxes. There’s a popcorn entertainment element to it, yes, but it is surprising, exciting and there are real characters at the centre of it,” Chris Hemsworth, who plays bad boy racer James Hunt, said.

    The story tackles the rivalry between two polar opposite drivers who were the talk of the racing world in the ’70s, Hunt and Niki Lauda, who is portrayed by “Inglorious Basterds” star Daniel Bruhl. Bruhl plays Lauda’s brusque Austrian attitude well, according to CNN.

    “With his clipped Austrian accent, everything that comes out of his mouth sounds like a brusque insult. And it usually is. He may not be a particularly likable fellow, but he’s a methodical grinder with the unshakable conviction of someone who’s calculated the odds on what it takes to win. Pitted against each other, they’re like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. It’s not just about beating the other guy, it’s about humiliating him in the process,” Chris Nashawaty writes.

    Howard says he wanted to keep the story as true to life as possible but still surprise the viewer, and he thinks he’s managed to do just that.

    “I think a lot of those twists and turns are exactly what people like because it’s not going down the path the way they expected it might. And yet it’s logical because it happened,” he said. “The guiding principle always was to keep telling the story and keep the movie psychological, so it was always heart and mind of the driver.”

    “Rush” opens on Friday and also stars Olivia Wilde and Alexandra Maria Lara.

  • Limbaugh Loses Show Music Over Remarks

    Limbaugh Loses Show Music Over Remarks

    Rush Limbaugh has been using bumper music from Canadian band Rush and British singer Peter Gabriel for years to ease the show in and out of his ever-decreasing commercials.

    No more.

    When Limbaugh told Sandra Fluke and “the rest of you feminazis” that he wanted to see videos of them having sex if they were going to get insurance coverage for contraception, he was played in by Rush’s “The Spirit of Radio”.

    Now, the band’s legal representatives have sent a cease and desist letter to Limbaugh, demanding that he stop using their music:

    The Rush Limbaugh Show 1270 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020 RushLimbaugh.com Premiere Radio Networks.

    Ladies & Gentlemen:

    I am the attorney for Rush, their management company, S.R.O. Management Inc., their music publishing company, Core Music Publishing and their record company, The Anthem Entertainment Group Inc.

    According to media reports, Rush Limbaugh, Premiere Radio Networks and The Rush Limbaugh Show have been using Rush’s recorded music as part of what is essentially a political broadcast.

    The use of Rush’s music in this way is an infringement of Rush’s copyrights and trademarks. The public performance of Rush’s music is not licensed for political purposes and any such use is in breach of public performance licenses and constitutes copyright infringement. There are civil and criminal remedies for copyright infringement, including statutory damages and fines.

    (see sections 501-513 of Title 17 of the United States Code http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html)

    In addition, the use of Rush’s music in this manner implies an endorsement of the views expressed and products advertised on the show, and is in breach of not only copyright and trademark rights, but also, of section 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law (excerpt attached).

    Accordingly, we hereby demand that you immediately stop all use of Rush’s music and confirm that you will do so.

    Yours very truly,

    Robert A. Farmer

    Director of Legal Affairs

    S.R.O. Management Inc.,

    Core Music Publishing

    The Anthem Entertainment Group Inc.

    When Limbaugh called “Susan [sic] Fluke” a “slut”, he was played in by Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer”.

    People started to associate the song with the comments.

    Peter Gabriel then had this posted on his Facebook page:

    Peter GabrielPeter Gabriel has asked that this response be published when he found out that his track ‘Sledgehammer’ has been used on the Rush Limbaugh show:

    ‘Peter was appalled to learn that his music was linked to Rush Limbaugh’s extraordinary attack on Sandra Fluke. It is obvious from anyone that knows Peter’s work that he would never approve such a use. He has asked his representatives to make sure his music is withdrawn and especially from these unfair aggressive and ignorant comments. ‘(image) 1 day ago · 6,217 likes · 1,228 comments

  • Netflix Ads Still on Limbaugh Show

    Netflix, as well as Geico, seem to have opted to continue to advertise with entertainer Rush Limbaugh, who has been rapidly losing endorsement deals after calling Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke a slut.

    So far, the advertisers who have pulled away from Limbaugh are AOL, ProFlowers, Quicken Loans, Sleep Number Beds, Sleep Train, Citrix Systems and LegalZoom. Netflix, a company never short on its own share of controversy, appears to have decided to stick with the controversial program, according to Uproxx. Others have remained on board as well. Though, a Netflix representative recently told Hacking Netflix that the company “doesn’t purchase advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Show.” The intrigue is too much to bear.

    Sandra Fluke dismissed a Limbaugh apology on the matter, saying “I don’t think that a statement like this, issued saying that his choice of words was not the best, changes anything. Especially when that statement is issued when he’s under significant pressure from his sponsors, who have begun to pull support from his show.”

    As of now, all of the advertising boycotts are merely annoying and uncomfortable for Limbaugh, who still pulls in $50 million a year from his dog and pony show.

    As an update, Netflix has made a comment concerning the Rush Limbaugh show, and is no longer affiliated.

  • Rush Limbaugh Has A Bomb Scare

    Rush Limbaugh Has A Bomb Scare

    Rush Limbaugh has always been a controversial figure. From his beginnings as a radio talk show host at KFBK 1530 in Sacramento, to the nationally syndicated show he has now, Limbaugh has been a conservative figurehead in the United States since the late 80’s. Because he is a very controversial figure, he tends to have crosshairs on him from left wing activists who think he is dangerous. So when people hear that Rush Limbaugh has a bomb scare, they no longer think twice, whether due to their hatred or that they are desensitized because they feel like it happens all too often.

    The suspicious package was delivered on Thursday at around 430 PM and staffers who weren’t expecting a package moved it to the guest house to x-ray it with their mobile machine. Staffers didn’t know what it was, but thought it had the potential to be dangerous. “Some type of a plaque that was electronic in nature. Something to do with the assassination of President Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth,” Palm Beach Police Department Spokesperson Fred Hess said.

    Police were able to find out the package was sent from Wexford, Pennsylvania and they were able to contact the person who sent the package who then apologized for sending something that could be construed as being dangerous. After about 3 hours the Palm Beach Police Department gave the ‘all clear’ to the staff at the house and things went back to normal. Limbaugh, through his staff, thanked emergency crews for their prompt response and called the incident a “non-event.”
