Nessie,

Probably just David Gilmour wanting to do anything to piss off Roger Waters.

If the band is willing to live with the reduced amount of royalties in order to maintain their art, I applaud their dedication to their craft. I kind of see it as being the opposite of reality TV show stars on MTV. One puts art ahead of money. The other…

Bill Clinton and Bill Gates said Wednesday that U.S. investments in fighting AIDS, malaria and other diseases in underdeveloped nations save lives and play a vital role in improving the U.S. image abroad

I've read it's laughably inaccurate

I've read mixed reports myself.

What I thought was funny is that there is a Soldier who is suing saying they stole his life story for the film. He even claims to have made up the term "Hurt Locker."
