My son's christmas present has already went bad. The13"Lightning McQueen tv/dvd/ combo picture went from sharp to blurry overnight. I have tried to fix it using the onscreen picture adjustment but no real change. The screensaver is even blurry. Any Help would be appreciated.

Check what kind of things are around your TV. Usually if you have speakers or something that has magnets that will kill your picture.

It sounds as if your projector is going out in the TV.

If there was a "Best Portrayal of Hunting" Oscar, this year it would go to James Cameron for "Avatar," his 3D masterpiece that is on track to become the biggest box office success of all time.

If you are one of the few people on earth who have not yet seen "Avatar," let me give you some details. "Avatar" is set 150 years from now when Earth is a dying planet in desperate need of a rare, extremely valuable mineral that is found in abundance on a distant, beautiful planet, Pandora.

The planet is populated by tall, slender, blue people with great agility and tails like monkeys, the "Na'vi." Their affinity with nature and use of the bow and arrows for defense and hunting for food is reminiscent of American Indians. The Na'vi are not about to give up their village, which sits directly on top of the richest deposit of the rare mineral.

Paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to join a mission to Pandora to get the mineral. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intelligence by infiltrating the Na'vi with the use of a "Na'vi" body that he is projected into.

When Jake begins to bond with the tribe, he falls in love with the chief's beautiful daughter, "Neytiri," who teaches him to hunt with bow and arrow. Jake kills a deer, and then prays over it, as an American Indian or a European hunter might do when they perform the "Last Bite" ceremony.

This is the most positive portrayal of hunting in a mainstream film in years, and perhaps the only time that an animated feature has ever showed such a hunting scene. What a contrast to "Bambi."

Bambi: A tale gone astray

Bambi began as the 1923 children's novel, Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Austrian author Felix Salten. The book is about a playful young deer, Bambi, who has many animal friends — Thumper the rabbit, Flower the skunk, and a young female fawn, Faline, as well as a mother and father. They all live an idyllic life in the forest.

In the dead of winter when food is scarce, a hunter appears and kills Bambi's mother. Bambi is distraught at his loss and forced to grow up quickly. Later, humans return to the woods and start a devastating fire. Bambi survives, but man is definitely cast as the villain with no redeeming value.

It's very likely that Salten was moved to write his book by the horrors of World War I. The themes are more akin to warfare and its impact on civilians — families broken up, people getting shot, fires being set and bombs going off to harm or kill defenseless people — than anything having to do with ethical hunting. Bambi, then, is a metaphor for emotional life in times of war, as animals are symbols of our emotions.

War leaves people feeling powerless, angry and sad. "Bambi" (1942) came out during World War II and displaces emotions about that war, as does "The Deer Hunter" (1978), which is about post-traumatic stress syndrome, not hunting.

According to movie critic Roger Ebert, "Bambi," is "a parable of sexism, nihilism, and despair, portraying absentee fathers and passive mothers in a world of violence."

In my quest to understand "Bambi," I interviewed one of Walt Disney's closest friends, retired actor Fess Parker , today an award-winning winemaker and owner of several resorts in the Santa Barbara, Calif., area.

Who was born on a mountain top in Tennessee and kilt him a bear when he was only three? Everyone born before 1954 will break into a rendition of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," which was on at the top of charts in the mid-1950s when "Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier" (1955) and "Davy Crockett and The River Pilots" (1956) were among the top grossing movies in the world.

Actor Fess Parker, a 6-foot-6 gentleman from Texas, brought Davy Crockett to life. Growing up in Texas, Fess was introduced to hunting and fishing by his uncle who hunted with hounds: sometimes for food and other times for animal skins to pay the bills, for in post-depression era sometimes things were pretty bleak.

During his 20-year screen and television acting career Fess appeared in 30 productions including the "Davy Crockett" films of the 1950s and then the memorable six-year run of the "Daniel Boone" television series.

He says that he never received any criticism for wearing a coonskin cap and buckskin or even selling coonskin caps. He does not recall other actors who played frontiersmen — John Wayne, Alan Ladd, Sterling Hayden, or Charleton Heston — getting criticism either. How things have changed!

I asked Fess about Walt Disney and "Bambi." Fess emphatically asserts that Walt was not an animal rights sympathizer. Fess pointed out that Disney grew up in Missouri, where he learned about hunting and farming first-hand.

Disney also made a killing selling coonskin hats, replicas of which (now fake fur) are still popular with visitors to "Frontier Land" in Disneyland. As additional support, Fess called my attention to the violence involving animals in the classic movie "Old Yeller" (1957) where he played the part of "Jim Coates."

"What Walt knew how to do was romanticize animals," Parker told me. "He knew all about the food chain from growing up in Missouri, and he respected animals."

That upbringing inspired Disney's many nature movies such as "Bear Country" and his award-winning documentaries about native cultures, such as the Eskimos and the Lapps, where hunting is also shown.

Parker described Walt Disney as a gifted artist and real gentleman, but "not someone who had a message in his work." Disney simply told the "story of the moment," focusing on how to find the best way to be economically successful, Fess said. "Bambi II" came out as a direct-to-video release in 2006, taking the lead in DVD sales during the first week of release worldwide. The story takes place in the middle of the original "Bambi" story, when Bambi's mother has been killed and his father, The Great Prince of The Forest, becomes the sole parent. The same characters are here again, with the addition of a new doe to become Bambi's mother, "Mena." And the bad guys are hunting with dogs. Score more points for the antis.

Bambi III — time for some reality

Hollywood is hooked on sequels. If the first one makes money, let's make another, and another, the studios cry. Suppose a studio asked me for a consultation on "Bambi: III," then my advice would be the following.

Why not set the story in an area where there are too many deer for the carrying capacity? Deer are eating crops, going into people's yards; Lyme disease is epidemic, etc. Times are tough.

Looking for food, Bambi's mother gets killed by a truck instead of a hunter. In some states, cars kill more deer than hunters. This scene would encourage people to drive more carefully in areas with deer herds, as well as educate people about the extent of this problem that causes considerable suffering to deer, as well as people.

How about someone putting out food for deer, and the crowding at the feeder spreading TB? This will increasingly happen as long as people believe they are doing deer a favor by feeding them.

Let's face it, people feed animals more because the people like it, than because the animals need the feed. Maybe the deer get fed by a nice old lady, who in turn catches Lyme disease from the deer. Raises awareness of Lyme disease.

We can still have a forest fire, but let's make it a controlled burn purposefully set by forest rangers. Bambi and the other animals still have to flee, but as they race off, another older buck tells our young hero that new fresh grass and shrubs will grow next spring from the burned area and the controlled burn of brush will prevent the huge conflagrations that do kill so many animals.

Bambi becomes a young adult buck with a family. We see him suddenly appear through the scope of a rifle. But before the trigger is pulled, a fatherly voice says, "He's a nice young buck, son. Let him grow up another couple years. Let's go after that huge one that people keep seeing in these woods."

Here we learn about ethical deer hunting and the Quality Deer Management program that actually follows such standards.

A good teaching story teaches ethics and makes us more alive and wise. A good feature film or TV show can do the same thing. Kudos for "Avatar" for getting it right.

RICKY reckons bad parents should be STERILISED.

The childless comic believes there are too many unwanted kids and "useless people" should stop having them.

He said: "If there's a woman in leggings, eating chips with a fag in her mouth, sterilise her."

But Ricky, who grew up on a council estate in Reading, insisted his views are based on parenting style, not class.

He said: "I'd never impose someone not being able to have kids because they were poor."

An atheist, he cited sending kids to a faith school - where they can be "brainwashed" - as irresponsible parenting.

He said he and his girlfriend of 25 years, TV producer and novelist Jane Fallon, had discussed having children but decided it was "too much hassle".

"We just didn't fancy dedicating 16 years of our life to it."

He said there are too many unwanted children and "too many people who are poor and struggling".

He added: "What there is, is too many useless people. Too many people who shouldn't have children."

Ricky, who previously spoke of his love for England, saying he didn't want to leave, also admits that he intends to move to New York as "artists are more revered there".

"Nobody ever got anywhere by everyone liking them. Yes, you become a national treasure, but you didn't do anything.

"You didn't offend anyone. You didn't break America. You were just on British telly and nice.

"I want to antagonise as many people as love me for it. And I want the people who hate me to hate the fact that so many people love me. It's my mission."

During the Globes show Ricky had the star-studded audience squirming with a string of cutting lines.

Referring to Sir Paul McCartney's �24.3million divorce from Heather Mills, he pointed to the former Beatle and said: "We were on the same plane to get here.

"I was in first and he was behind me in coach. Well, he spent a lot of money last year."

On the worldwide fame of stars, he said with a grin: "You could be a little Asian child with no possessions and no money and you see a picture of Angelina Jolie and you think, 'Mummy!'"

His introductions also raised eyebrows.

For Colin Farrell he said: "One stereotype I hate is that all Irish men are just drunk, sweary hellraisers. Please welcome Colin Farrell."

And before Mel Gibson came out he told the crowd, glass in hand: "I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless the next man is Mel Gibson."

"Nice things to me aren't big boys' toys. I don't buy bling, I don't gamble, I don't do drugs. I don't do those things.

"I buy security and comfort. I invest in things that are important and I'm passionate about.

"I do have a plan for what I would like to do with my money one day... but it's weird.

"I love nature and would like to live in a house where, when I open the back door, it's like a wildlife park.

"It'll be like something out of a Disney film - the birds will be able to come down on my shoulder, I'll be singing a little song to the squirrels while they're chatting to a badger... "

Ricky's next big project gets under way soon when casting begins for the movie adaptation of his Flanimals kids' books.

He will voice the lead, alongside some of his favourite comic stars - but not Julie Andrews, as the internet rumour-mill has suggested.

He revealed: "Julie Andrews isn't involved - that's a myth. I don't know where that came from.

"But I'm certainly looking at the big boys for this.

"I would like to pitch to people like Ben Stiller and Jack Black, really good comic performers. I have characters in mind for them."

Well, I think everything has to fight hard to get an audience in America.

I think the reason why critics and websites didn’t like it was obviously the religious element. I think some people felt cheated that they weren’t warned. But I don’t know what you do with that. Whether I should put a warning ‘contains atheist material’. I don’t know. Strange, really.

One reviewer said that ‘I don’t know why Ricky Gervais feels the need to shove his atheism down our throat’. I thought, woah, well this is one film that dares to presume the lack of God, whereas every other film I’ve ever seen presumes a God. There are door-to-door Bible salesmen. It’s taught in schools as fact. Children are indoctrinated with it from the age of four. And I’m the one shoving the ideas! Surely, we can have a discussion about it?

It seems a little bit unfair. And I don’t think it is atheist propaganda, in a world where no one has ever had the ability to lie, as an atheist, to suggest I believe that religion was started by man. And I put that in a film. I’d be a hypocrite to say anything else.

Did you sense that reaction was going to come?

I did. But I didn’t think that intelligent people would be so worried about it.

I tell you why I think that the film is actually more subversive than most other films. It’s because it was couched in quite a sweet Hollywood rom-com. It wasn’t a dark indie film that was a terrible existential damning sort of film. It was a really sweet, uplifting Hollywood rom-com. It just happened to be a film where there was no God.

Coming after . My stand up? Every review when I first started, every stand up I’ve ever done has been hated. But then I’ve got a record for the fastest selling tour of all time.

Yeah, very script driven. But then everything I do is. People think . Did Pepsi ever get in touch?

No, but we had to have it lawyered, so with Pepsi and Coke we only did things that were factual or satirical. So I think Pepsi came off worst! With Coke we said it was brown sugary water, and I think that’s all true. But ‘for when they don’t like Coke’ is more damning! But they’re bigger than us, they can take it!

What I also found interesting is that you co-direct. Usually, co-directors have been brothers, life-long friends of directors of Disney movies. Where’s the appeal for you? You’ve now worked with two different co-directors in such a short space of time. How does that work for you?

Well, it’s luck, isn’t it? I found Stephen Merchant and it worked a treat. And the same with Matt Robinson. You make your own luck, and I think it comes from respect. I think you respect each other and trust each other.

But I have a rule, and it started with Steve and I used it with Matt as well. And that’s this: if one of us doesn’t like something, it’s vetoed. It needs two votes to stay in the film. That way, you’re left with a film that both of you like from beginning to end. It’s twice the compromise. It’s as much as I ever want to compromise. It’s got to be you two against the world: you don’t need one more compromise because two of you are enough. You do it for yourself and like minded people.

Was it Patrick Stewart doing the voiceover on the caveman prequel film in the DVD extras?

That’s right, yeah! It was probably the most expensive DVD extra of all time…!

I thought it was better than the entirety of
