First time I followed the link in Firefox I got very little. Recklessly selecting the first of three "Next" links gave me the full article - as have all subsequent invocations/refreshes. Don't ask me; it's years since I pretended to understand anything.

Doesn't work in Opera either - I think my ad-blocker software may be stopping it.

It will not work with Internet Explorer, either (but I must be the only person on the internet still using that.

The same fix mentioned by the first CP worked for me on IE as well: I clicked on actual article links over on the left side, and finally got one to pop up, and then I just clicked on the article I wanted, and voila!

Since both the Terminator and James Bond movies have been seriously overdone, I don't think they'd be missed, but The Hobbit? Oh, *please* let Peter Jackson make that one. I'd even help with a bake sale for that.

I have a bookmark to Salon's magic cookie (the URL that tells them that I've clicked through their day pass rigamarole). Selecting the bookmark after the page loaded gave me the full article with no fuss. (Salon's magic cookie URL is http://www.salon.com/news/cookie756.html )

Aha! Perfect! Thanks.

Well it works for me by clicking on the magic cookie first (it's beginning to sound like a video game!)
Figures considering how much it costs to make all those blockbusters.
Considering I don't think much of the "new Bond" I wouldn't miss that. I'm more concerned the movie studios will now back off from things that don't appear a sure fire success.

Oddly, I clicked on them in the wrong order and that worked as well (when I clicked on your cookie link I got the page I wanted). However it works, thanks...

I did like the new Bond, I thought it was much truer to the original spirit of the book[1] than any since From Russia With Love.

[1] OK, the original didn't have GPS etc., and the changed the game, and...

Ah that was the problem, I never liked the books but adored the Connery / Moore / Brosnan movies.

That's a headline to go on the Charades list, all right.
