SHARK ATTACK !!!

Scandal Sheet ·

2024/07/20

Shark attacks are on the rise! Since the 1975 film, “Jaws” broke every box-office record, sharks became America’s favorite, summer terror. While Caribbean/Gulf sharks in New England waters were pure fiction 50 years ago…that is not true today. For the last several years, there has been an explosion of unprecedented shark sightings and attacks in North Atlantic waters. Are these predators truly man-eaters trolling our beaches for a human buffet? Or, are they mostly minding their own business and

The Greatest Filmmaker You Probably Never Heard Of –...

2024/06/25

Filmmaker, Roger Corman, died peacefully at the ripe old age of 98, this May. Known as "The Pope of Pop Cinema", or "The King of Schlock", he was a trailblazer in the world of independent film. Among the hundreds of features directed/produced by Corman, many were ultra-low budget films that later attracted a cult following, such as “The Little Shop of Horrors” and “Death Race 2000”. Paradoxically, he simultaneously introduced prestige foreign “art” directors to US audiences like: Bergmann,

In honor of National Women’s History Month, we are celebrating Julia Child. In the early 1960’s, Ms. Child, on the main stream media front, almost single-handedly, totally blew up every preconception of the role of women in American society (at least middle class women…) by writing a best-selling cooking book and making an extremely popular TV cooking show – eventually distributed to over 50 countries across the globe.

“The Exorcist” Turns 50 – A True Story?

Scandal Sheet ·

2024/01/13

This best-selling book and record-breaking box office movie re-defined the horror genre. But where did the core story come from? It’s actually based on a supposedly legitimate case of possession attested to in writing by over 50 witnesses. A Catholic Archbishop granted a rare approval of the ritual’s use. As it occurred in the area, “The Washington Post” published a front page, above-the-fold article, on the exorcism back in 1949, weeks after it occurred. Then a student at Georgetown University,

One of the top headlines of 2023 has been the meteoric rise of “artificial intelligence” in the public mind. But ‘AI’ has actually been around for decades -- both in reality and science fiction. Yet today, free tools such as ChatGPT, Google’s Bard, Claude - and many others – have brought AI onto our personal laptops, both in our homes and offices. We ask what are these tools really?
