Re: [MOPO] IAU Official Vote: Pluto A Planet No More
It's called correcting a mistake. I wonder if people were similarly upset when those "arrogant" scientists declared that fire, water, air and earth weren't elements after all. Would you suggest that they be grandfathered in along with hydrogen, helium and the rest? Arrogant chemists - who gave them the authority to correct their previous mistakes? Don't they know that scientific definitions are a popularity contest and not to let the facts get in the way?

Re: [MOPO] IAU Official Vote: Pluto A Planet No More
I don't know what this has to do with posters (other than, perhaps, a few early Disney pieces), but... Pluto should never have been called a planet in the first place. Pluto is better described as a double-planet or binary system (Pluto orbits Charon [and vice versa], not the sun). And, before you say whoa, you can't call Charon a planet Charon and Pluto have moons that orbit them, so if Charon is only a moon - then, it's a moon that has it's own moons (you can see how that could lead to problems)...

Cruise and his production partner, Paula Wagner, say they have raised a revolving fund of $100 million from two hedge funds and are striking out on their own. Wagner denounced Sumner Redstone's comments about Cruise as "outrageous and disrespectful." Redstone told the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday that Paramount was ending its relationship with Cruise because "his recent conduct has not been acceptable." In fact, Wagner said, CAA, Cruise's agent, has terminated discussions with Par earlier in the week. After making 14 films in 14 years, the studio had declined to renew the original Cruise deal and offered a sharply reduced pact. Cruise has been a tabloid-regular over the past year due to his relationship with actress Katie Holmes and his increasingly outspoken nature about the Church of Scientology. Wagner defended Cruise/Wagner's longtime success for the studio, saying that in the last 10 years, the shingle's product has accounted for 15% of Paramount's theatrical revenue and for the past six years it has tallied 32%. Their credits include the "Mission: Impossible" franchise, "Vanilla Sky" and "War of the Worlds."

It was only 1 year ago that Tom Cruise starred in WAR OF THE WORLDS which was one of last summer's mega-hits. Since then, the god-awful MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III came out. Clearly Cruise did nothing "controversial" enough between the release of those two films to cause audiences to turn against him personally as an actor. The difference was that one film was worth watching and the other wasn't. On the other hand, I expect Cruise will land on his feet and go on to make many more hundreds of millions in other films, they just won't be Paramount's. It's a very odd world where a billion-dollar corporation makes critical financial decisions based on the sort of things cited against Cruise in this article. How shocking! He bounced up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch (the bastard!)... he criticized drug abuse (in an incompetent way, yes, but that's clearly what he was talking about)... and he talked about Scientology (so did John Travolta and many others). -- JR - Original Message - From: David Kusumoto To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 19:14 Subject: [MOPO] WSJ: Paramount terminates ties with Tom Cruise FYI, below. -koose. = Paramount Ends Relationship With Tom Cruise's Company By MERISSA MARR, WALL STREET JOURNAL August 22, 2006 6:43 p.m. Viacom Inc.

On August 23, 1926, Rudolph Valentino died from a massive infection caused by a perforated gastric ulcer. At the internment of his body in the Hollywood Memorial Park, a plane flew overhead and dropped rose petals. Yesterday, 80 years after that event, a plane flew over the cemetery, now called Hollywood Forever, and dropped rose petals to commemorate the occasion.
