	frontline: dreams of tibet: interviews: martin scorsese
		It's not a movie with big stars, you know it's a very special picture and it deserves a shot, that's all I'm saying it deserves a shot, I'm going to try to see if I can do that.
		It's not a film with movie stars, it's a film that has a slower pace to it so you have to immerse yourself in that, you got to know what kind of movie you're going to go and see and give yourself to it if you can.
		Each studio is, I may be wrong but I think has become part of-- and this has happened the past 25 years -- part of a conglomerate or now a major corporation and there's no doubt that filmmakers are going to have to fight a little harder.

	Major Movie Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These major movie studios include studios that are old (Walt Disney Pictures and Universal) and newer studios (Lions Gate Films and New Line).
		These movie studios are contrasted with other smaller movie studios, which are known as independent (indie) studios.
		Typically Hollywood-based, some of these studios are part of six umbrella corporations, known as the Big Six.

	Edward Jay Epstein's Web Log: January 2005
		Each of these studios, however, furnishes these precise data, including a detailed breakdown of their worldwide revenues from movie theaters, home video, network television, local television, pay television and pay-per-view– to the Motion Picture Asocciation on condition that they will not be released to any other parties.
		The movie houses take these sums, keep their share (or what they claim is their share)--which, along with the so-called "house allowance," can amount to over 50 of the original box-office total--and remit the balance to the studios’ distribution arms, which then deduct the out-of-pocket expenses involved in marketing the movies.
		Movies, of course, are still part of the big picture–and always will be–but the true art of Hollywood is, more and more, the art of the deal, not the picture.

	washingtonpost.com: 'The Big Picture'
		Each week the box-office grosses rung up by the big new movies are published, and each week it is near universally assumed, reflexively and reverentially, that they represent not merely an accurate ranking of current films but also an accurate record of how much they are making for the studios that produced them.
		So, even though the population had almost doubled, movie theaters sold 3.1 billion fewer tickets than they had in 1947." In the years immediately after World War II, theatrical releases accounted for 100 percent of the studios' worldwide revenues; in 2003 they accounted for a mere 18 percent.
		The grasp of the Big Six is astonishing.

	Shrinking the big screen - The Boston Globe
		The movies could act with great moral and artistic superiority toward television, and going to the movies was still an event.
		The corporations that owned the movie studios were competing with the corporations that owned the TV stations and the networks.
		Of course, the tipping point in the transfer of the classical Hollywood screwball comedy from big screen to small came in 1982 with a film about a struggling actor who disguises himself as a woman and becomes a surprise TV star.

		While Andre's participation in the movie was confirmed Monday, he's been attached to the script since last summer, when the flick was known as "Love Hater." That script inspired him to write a song of the same name on his half of the Outkast double album, Speakerboxxx/ The Love Below.

		By being able to capitalize on these movies that are being made that kind of flew under studio radar, Miramax put themselves in the position where they were thought of as being the alternative.
		In a way, the studios are still afraid of it because what are really sort of the last independent voices are filmmakers of color, and women.
		What I'm hoping these new technologies will do is have that Eurasian lesbian filmmaker make this movie that comes out of her, that's a part of her subconscious, that overtakes the country, that excites us all about the possibilities of dreaming somebody else's dream through broadband.

		Gone are the days of studio chiefs dominating their stars with punitive contracts and controlling product from script to big screen.
		The studios survive because they are supported by their strong parent holding companies whose businesses are diversified in technology, news, media, and consumer products.
		If we live in a world where movies and music contain no more important civil messages and merely serve as escapist pastime and we experience societal downfall as a result, soon there will be no bottom line to speak of.

		Ars Electronica had just decided to give that movie its $10,000 special-effects prize, and we felt that an art festival had no business rewarding such a piece of mega-grossing shlock.
		And Popotla not only lost its primary source of income thanks to the studio, it gained no business from it: the Titanic workers dined within the enormous shard-topped wall that Fox built to protect its spectacle factory, a wall that incidentally cut the village off from what used to be unspoiled coastline.

		A big congrats to all the artists at Pixar for their continuing efforts to keep this art form alive, especially at a time when studios like Disney and DreamWorks seem to be doing their best to destroy it.
		Once upon a time, America's biggest corporations had this funny notion that people would be more willing to hear what they had to say if they delivered their message through the cartoon medium.
		As was to be expected, the movie had a strong visual sense, considerably larger in scope than the TV series, and it was apparent that a lot of effort and care went into the making of the film.

	Siliconeer: December 2005
		The story begins with the theoretical foundations laid by Einstein and his General Theory of Relativity, but it was Georges Lemaître, a Catholic priest from Belgium, who proposed the idea of a universe born at a single instant in the past — “a day without a yesterday” — and expanding outwards from that moment.
		“I would argue that the Big Bang model of the universe is the most important and beautiful theory in science, and once you know what it is, how it works and why scientists believe it, then the temptation to share it with others is irresistible,” he said.
		Specifically in the “Big Bang,” he introduces all readers of his book to the world of the theory of relativity and he expects them to be to be excited, educated, intrigued and inspired.
