Make a robots attack short film for 300 bucks and put it on YouTube.
How did he do it for only $300? Maybe making it in Uruguay had something to do with it.
The film (Ataque de Panico!) was uploaded to YouTube last November, and Fede Alvarez started receiving offers from studios almost immediately. He's now going to make a science fiction feature with the help of a $30 million Hollywood contract and Sam Raimi.

Tim Burton's New Alice In Wonderland
I hope it's better than his horrible version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (and Ebert is simply wrong; Depp's performance as Willy Wonka ruined that movie).

Health Care Co-op
The Restaurant Worker's Health Care Cooperative, currently servicing 15 restaurants in lower Manhattan, provides free health care to all restaurant employees, from bus boys to bartenders. Every month the owner or manager of each restaurant contributes money into a common fund based on its number of employees. In return, their workers can go see Dr. Dave with any kind of health issue they may have.

Why Religious Beliefs Are Irrational
Now I am not one of those people who says that modern science has disproven religion. If I said that, it would imply that two thousand years ago, there was not solid evidence against the claims that Jesus was born of a virgin and rose from the dead. But the counter-evidence has always been overwhelming. Everyone else is born of a non-virgin and stays dead. It is absurd to recognize an exception without overwhelming evidence, but all we have is the testimony of a few of his disciples. And yet not only do Christians believe these things; they often claim to know them with certainty, and get angry if you disagree. Christianity has always been irrational, and of course the same goes for Judaism, Islam, Greek mythology, Satanism, and belief in Santa Claus.
...
The gist of my theory is that people persistently hold wildly irrational religious beliefs because the material cost is usually very low. In terms of daily life, what difference does it make if the earth is 6000 years old or 6 billion? So it's not surprising how readily people shut their eyes to the geological evidence. In contrast, when the cost of irrationality is high, believers conveniently forget the teachings of their religion. Lots of religions promise paradise to martyrs, but adherents eager to die for their beliefs are one-in-a-million.
