5 Annoying Trends That Make Every Movie Look the Same Hollywood: the dream factory, the place where joy is made and everybody craps rainbows and cocaine.

Have You Ever Noticed: There's some unwritten rule that horror movies should be blue: The Ring Saw The Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. Meanwhile, apocalyptic movies are gray and washed out: Then there are more subtle ones, for instance movies set in the desert tend to be yellow. Smokin' Aces (Las Vegas) The Hills Have Eyes (rural Nevada) Movies where reality is off-kilter will be green: Fight Club The Matrix films, aka The Greenest Movies Ever Made Honestly, half the time you can guess the genre of the film based on one still from the trailer. What's Going On? It's called digital color correction. Now? And while we're on color... #4. Or against dimly-lit rooms with the bluish tint: This is a color wheel: #3.

Biography Kissing Sailor - Found at Last Glenn Edward McDuffie knows why the sailor kissing a white-clad nurse in that famous photo has his wrist bent back in an awkward position. Taken August 14, 1945 in New York City's Times Square moments after the crowd there heard World War II had ended, that photo has epitomized the jubilant mood of a nation who had won our hard fought victory. Glenn knows why that sailor has his wrist twisted because he is that sailor. Glenn had come to New York after coming off the SS Alexander Lillinton with Jack Holmes (from Pittsburg), the sailor in the dark uniform seen laughing in that same photo. Glenn also knows the sailor in the white uniform's name is Bob Little from Buffalo, New York since he also served on the same ship. Now ready to turn 80 this August 3rd, Glenn wants to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of his kiss of an overjoyed nurse by setting the record straight. Glenn will turn 80 this August 3, 2007.
Salem Witchcraft: the Events and Causes of the Salem Witch Trials By Tim Sutter © 2000-2003 What caused the Salem witch trials of 1692? This question has been asked for over 300 years. Although it is a simple question, it does not have an easy answer. The answer is difficult because there are numerous factors and events that helped create and influence the trials. The main factors that started and fueled the trials were politics, religion, family feuds, economics, and the imaginations and fears of the people. Salem Politics Salem Village had a very colorful history before the famous witch trials. Many of the Salem Village farming families believed that Salem Town’s thriving economy made it too individualistic. The Putnams were the leaders of the separatist group primarily because they owned the most farmland in Salem Village. Contracts for ministers during this period often provided them with a modest salary, use of a house, and free firewood. In October of 1691 a new Salem Village Committee was elected that was comprised mostly of Parris’ opponents.

The 1920's - Roaring Twenties - The Nineteen Twenties in History Occupy the infinite - Synaptic Stimuli - StumbleUpon External Stimuli : Peter Kogler works Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial Today the battle-scarred, submerged remains of the battleship USS Arizona rest on the silt of Pearl Harbor, just as they settled on December 7, 1941. The ship was one of many casualties from the deadly attack by the Japanese on a quiet Sunday that President Franklin Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy." The Arizona's burning bridge and listing mast and superstructure were photographed in the aftermath of the Japanese attack, and news of her sinking was emblazoned on the front page of newspapers across the land. The photograph symbolized the destruction of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the start of a war that was to take many thousands of American lives. More than a million people visit the USS Arizona Memorial each year.
