Did Yoko Ono just spoil a big surprise? The widow of John Lennon was quoted by Sky News (as reported by 9to5Mac) as saying that the entire Beatles catalog would be available tomorrow on iTunes, in addition to the re-mastered CD collection, and The Beatles: Rock Band, which may become the top selling video game of all time.
The news was quickly muted by Sky, which pulled its story almost immediately. Twitter has blown up with the news, or the rumor, or the slip-up, or the honest mistake. Obviously, if it was planned to be a surprise, Apple nor the other Apple nor Emi would comment on it at this point.
The Beatles signed a stupendous $400 million deal with Apple to release the entire breadth of their incomparable music collection several months ago. Part of that arrangement was the re-mastered versions you can pay about $250 for tomorrow on CD.

Taking place tomorrow, June 17, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, 8949 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90211, a Tribute to Dick Smith will honor the make-up effects legend behind "Scanners" and "Altered States." Robert De Niro’s Mohawk in “Taxi Driver,” Linda Blair’s satanic transformation in “The Exorcist,” Marlon Brando’s jowls in “The Godfather” and F. Murray Abraham’s deterioration in “Amadeus” all have one artistic hand in common, that of the makeup effects master Dick Smith. Smith’s creation of new makeup techniques throughout his career not only transformed the art of motion picture makeup, but inspired a new generation of makeup and visual effects artists who have embraced him as a true visionary and mentor. Smith’s work on the “Old Salieri” makeup for “Amadeus” (1984) earned him an Oscar and he received an additional nomination for his makeup work on “Dad” (1989). Scheduled Panelists Linda Blair (Actress, “The Exorcist,” “Exorcist II: The Heretic...

There will be a rare American TV showing of John Huston's mega-bomb 1970 spy thriller The Kremlin Letter shown tomorrow (Friday, February 27) on the Fox Movie Channel at 2:00 Pm (Eastern Standard Time). The misguided flick boasts an impressive cast including Patrick O'Neal, Bibi Anderson, Max Von Sydow, Orson Welles and Richard Boone in a plot so incomprehensible, you'll be lost within minutes. There are some great locations (it's one of the few films to be allowed to be shot in London's legendary Reform Club) and does boast the unique opportunity to see George Sanders playing a spy master in drag. (This had to be J. Edgar Hoover's favorite movie!) This Cold War thriller laid a Siberia-sized egg at the box-office, but it's a "must have" for all bad movie lovers out there in Cinema Retro Land. Incidentally, a couple of years ago, Retro writer Eddy...
