I just saw a TV spot for the new Underworld movie, and holy smokes that looks shockingly bad.

I doubt it makes even half it's production/marketing budget back after the worldwide take.

The Underworld movies were always guilty pleasures for me, but even for me they've gotten more guilt than pleasure as they've rolled along.

I'm surprised they did the movie. Didnt Kate Beckinsale and the director divorce a while ago? Would be an awkward thing to do.

What's really weird is that it's not getting increasingly-standard 7pm showings today, according to Fandango.

That dude ruled because he was typically an engaging and insightful critic but he also had the weirdest hangup about Zero Dark Thirty that would make it into his discussion of any movie even tangentially related to the subject matter

I recently bought an extra battery for my camera. I bought it of ebay because it was 80% cheaper than from any local store. It arrived today, the custom information said it was a toy car. Inside the box was a plastic taxi with the battery in a compartment inside it. The compartment looked like it was meant to power the car but the car was purely plastic with no electrical components whatsoever so the compartment was seemingly purely there for the purpose of smuggling batteries.

Maybe it's some sort of wierd way to dodge customs fees or maybe those kinds of batteries can't technically be shipped except if their inside something. I just hope it doesn't explode when I try to use it.

Fox owns the distribution rights to A New Hope forever, and the rights to the other five movies until 2020. Given that the unaltered versions of the movies are pretty much a holy grail, I'm sure Fox would demand a lot of money in exchange for giving Disney that license to print cash.

But don't they already have that license to print cash? My understanding is that when a company licenses out a film, they aren't just licensing out one particular version of the film but the film as a whole, which is how (for example) Criterion is able to do a Brazil release with like 3 different versions of the movie including the "Love Conquers All" cut. By this logic, Disney already being able to distribute A New Hope would mean that it's entirely their call when to release the unaltered version. Am I wrong on this?

Not necessarily. It'll differ case by case. Some licenses will include all known versions; others will specify certain versions only, and define them very tightly. I suspect that Fox has licensed only one version to Disney.
