      (Newser) - Political die-hards flock to conventions in outlandish costumes, temporary tattoos, and head-to-toe buttons—“as much red, white and blue as possible in a patriotic arms race,” Robin Givhan writes in the Washington Post. Yet these goofy fans are integral to the messy, democratic process—by making it accessible to the folks watching on TV. More »

      Take Me Out to the Ballgame... at the Cineplex

      (Newser) - Cineplexes are boosting stagnant sales by showing more live broadcasts, the New York Times reports.

      Bee Movie Goes to Head of the Class

      (Newser) - In a rare second-week coup, Bee Movie topped the weekend box office and passed fellow sophomore American Gangster, Variety reports.

      Why Do We Cry at Movies?

      (Newser) - Why do we cry at movies? Washington Post film critic Desson Thomson, recalling his own waterworks watching emotional films, checked out some research to find out.

      New TV Season Disappoints

      (Newser) - The fall TV season isn't wowing audiences so far, Variety reports. Four fresh shows hit the small screen last night, but none made a big splash. Fox's "Back to You" was tops among 18- to 49-year-olds and attracted 9.4 million viewers overall. But it won by a slim margin, and none of the newbies lived up to last fall's hits. More »

      (Newser) - Ratings are plummeting for Japanese prime-time TV shows as audiences increasingly turn to playing games on Nintendo's Wii system. Wii, which dominates the nation's $30B video games market, has stolen TV's "golden hour,"  thanks in part to parents who are choosing to share family time on Wii's interactive sports-simulating games rather than watching TV, the Times of London reports.
