  The UnMuseum - The Orion Project
While most chemical rockets must use most of their mass for fuel, Orion would use only a small part of its total mass for this purpose because nuclear reactions are so much more powerful than chemical reactions.
It was estimated that an Orion ship, using nuclear pulse propulsion, would be able to send ships to Mars with 1.5 pounds of launch weight for every pound returned.
The contract for Orion was originally funded by the Air Force, but by the early 1960's all space exploration programs were being turned over to the newly-created civilian aerospace organization NASA.

 Orion Pictures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orion Pictures Corporation was an American movie production company, formed in 1978 as a joint venture between Warner Bros. Pictures and three former top-level executives of United Artists.
In 1997, Metromedia sold Orion (as well as The Samuel Goldwyn Company and Motion Picture Corporation of America) to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with the deal finalized in late 1998.
Almost all of Orion's releases from 1982 onwards, as well as most of the AIP and Filmways backlogs and all the television output originally produced and distributed by Orion Television now bear the MGM name.

 American University Library - Woody Allen
Absurd humor borders on insanity as a tester of strange gadgets quits his Manhattan job and flees to South America to eventually become leader of a mythical country.

 REELINSIDER.COM - SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)
From all considerations it was a terrific investment on their $22 million production since the picture went on to earn some $130 million at the domestic box office and an additional $142 million internationally.
Because it was released in March 1991 its initial run was many months separated from the exhibition cycle of its Best Picture competitors since all four were released for the Christmas boom.
So then, the lessons learned in 1991 include the possibility of a horror movie being named picture of the year even when released nine month before its competition with off-center stars and a script filled with unabashedly despicable situations.

 REELINSIDER.COM - AMADEUS (1984)
The performance of Don Giovanni, as one terrific example, was itself conceived and filmed on the same stage where it was first performed in the 1790s.
Between the four films were a number of laudable achievements in the crafts of cinematography, screenwriting, performance, direction and production design though all of them were somehow covered up by the shadow of Amadeus.
On another level it's the result of competing with an eventual Best Picture winner about larger than life composers who may not have been fighting for national identity or civil rights, or even for the cause of justice or happiness, but were contented to vie for the possibility of transcendence through acts of creative inspiration.

 Ultimate AV: Sony Pictures, MGM Prepare for Court Battle
A suit filed on February 8 by MGM's Orion Pictures Corporation in Los Angeles Superior Court charges Sony and its subsidiaries, Columbia TriStar Home Video and Columbia Pictures Entertainment, with "substantially underreporting revenues" and "failing properly to account for monies received" for distributing Orion's films on video outside the US.
Orion had an exclusive distribution contract with Columbia/Sony from 1985 to 1992.
Orion has been stonewalled in its attempts to correct the situation, and the company had no choice but to "seek legal remedies," according to Robert Brada, MGM executive vice president and general counsel.

 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures - WikiCG   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The name is taken from the three companies that formed a merger to create MGM Studios in 1924; Metro Pictures Corporation (formed in 1916), Goldwyn Picture Corporation (1917), and Louis B. Mayer Pictures (1918), under the control of movie theater magnate Marcus Loew.
Many of these musicals were successes, but by 1948, the studio was being hit by cost overruns (stemming from the huge budgets given to every picture, even the lackluster ones), and the mismanagement was causing a noticeable drop in quality.
In August 1951, after having sparred with Schary over several of his pet projects, Mayer was fed up; he called the head office and said, "It's either him, or me." Jumping at the chance to fire his archrival, Schenck picked Schary, ousting Mayer from the post he'd held for 27 years.
