Allegations of theft and greed over control of the late guitarist Johnny Winter’s music are flying, the Associated Press reports.
The legal wrangle is between Winter’s former personal manager and bandmate, Paul Nelson, and the family of Winter’s late wife, Susan, who died in 2019.
Winter played at Woodstock in 1969, produced albums for Muddy Waters, and was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame.
He released more than two dozen albums and was nominated for several Grammy awards, winning his first one posthumously in 2015 for Best Blues Album for “Step Back.” Nelson produced the album and also took home a Grammy for it.
Winter’s in-laws contend Nelson and his wife improperly took more than $1.5 million from Winter’s music business.
Nelson and his wife claim the relatives tricked severely ill Susan Winter into signing over control of Winter’s music.
The case was scheduled to go...

Sometimes good stories go bad. Especially in the world of science fiction, creative types must constantly keep their ideas fresh and believable before staleness sets in. Well, the great minds behind TNT’s Falling Skies are watching their backs. In the news today, they invite Carol Barbee aboard the team to keep bringing you the best in alien smashing drama.
We had news about Falling Skies yesterday when we delivered your first look at the newest season 3 teaser promo. The video was squirm inducing to be sure. That’s what fans have come to love about the show, though. Much like AMC’s The Walking Dead, it managed to balance gore, action, and very human drama. Hey, here’s another parallel, there will be a post-apocalypse baby.
The Steven Spielberg production has a new showrunner in David Eick and his first order of business has seemed to be taking action...

The DGA revealed their nominees for the best direction of 2010 today and for the most part, they were pretty expected. Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire, and The Pacific all had multiple episodes/installments nominated in their respective categories, but joining them in being nominated (though not necessarily in the same category) were an episode from The Hills, an episode of Glee that wasn't received terribly well, and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. You can read the full list of nominees below in the press release.
Los Angeles – Directors Guild of America President Taylor Hackford today announced the DGA’s nominees for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Television and Commercials for the year 2010.

The term geek once referred to a carnival freakshow performer whose act involved biting the head off a living animal. Thankfully that has changed over the past few years.
It's come to mean someone obsessed with such things as comic books, video games, technology, science and sci-fi.
Read on to find out if you are a true geek or fall into some other category of weirdo...
With sci-fi and superheroes getting more and more exposure and acceptability in mainstream culture, largely because special effects can now make them more real (and less laughable) on the big screen, geekiness isn't as weird and underground as it used to be.
It's also been helped by the internet which allows such interests to flourish via websites, forums and online groups where people can discuss their obsessions without feeling quite as isolated or alienated.
In fact, the growth of sci-fi led to the establishment of this Coventry Telegraph blog,...

Recently, we've begun to notice a trend...or ten: most of the Hollywood movie news we're reporting typically follows a repeating theme. And by far the two most prevalent themes in recent months have been Tinsletown's predilection for regurgitating everything in sight, i.e. old TV shows, movies, etc (you know what we're talking about here), and jumping on the 3-D bandwagon once again—that archaic medium tried decades ago and ultimately abandoned as a cheap gimmick.
But as we examined this, we began to realize that's not all that's been going on. Many folks wonder if risk-averse MBAs are killing Hollywood's magic. Still others speculate that the culture of Hollywood has fundamentally changed since the last "golden age" of the late 1960s and early 1970s. After all, the mania behind opening-weekend box-office has certainly become all consuming for studios.
And as such, does marketing hold too much sway over the fate of a film?...
