Feuding movie directors: Movie-goers WIN?

Sometimes a simple Amazon reader's review leads you to a fascinating story (or stories) of which you may have been previously unaware. In this case, the story of (the so-called) Buffalo Soldiers that liberated Tuscany in WWII. The novel Miracle at St. Anna also captivated director Spike Lee, who is bringing it to the Big Screen (Higher quality at apple.com). This may be considered his latest shot in the "feud" with director Clint Eastwood, who offended many by overlooking the contributions of black soldiers in his two recent WWII films.

The Cramps and The Gun Club

Give it up for The Cramps and The Gun Club. Two of the greatest bands to come out of the late 1970s/early 1980s punk scene, they (wikis here and here) shared a few things in common: guitarist Kid Congo Powers as well as a penchant for re-invigorating the raucous, carnal, primal spirit of American popular music--i.e. early garage rock and rockabilly (what the Cramps dubbed "psychobilly") and blues. Start with this screamer from The Cramps, and this blistering classic from the GC's first LP. &featureHere are some other great distractions and mischief making from these two legendary, seminal bands: Cramps--Garbage Man, Cramps--Goo Goo Muck, Live at Napa State Mental Hospital, Cramps--Devil w/Blue Dress/You Got Good Taste, Cramps--People Aint No Good + Interview, Bikini Girls w/Machine Guns,.....etc Gun Club--Preachin' the Blues, Gun Club--Sex Beat, Gun Club--My Dreams, Gun Club--Moonlight Motel, Ghost on the Highway trailer, Gun Club--The Lie,......etc

I believe that literature is working, even amidst this chaos, with a power that can change the world.

Peter Jackson sues New Line. Over money, naturally. Can 'the little hobbit that could' defeat the mysterious Dark Lordliness of Hollywood's Creative Accountants? Well, it worked for Stan Lee.

Bitter Rivals

Pepsi vs. Coke. Nabisco vs. Keebler vs. Planters. Levi's vs. Lee Dungarees (click on Buddy Lee Action). Any other classic rivalries out there we can settle "Friday Flash" style?
