Hunter Moore, the so-called ‘Most Hated Man On The Internet,’ was arrested by the FBI on Jan. 23 for a 15-count felony indictment related to his now defunct ‘revenge porn’ site.
Hunter Moore was arrested by the FBI on Jan. 23, years after his revenge porn website first started humiliating women by sharing their private photos. Below are five things you need to know about the man who used other people’s private nude photos to make himself rich.
5 Things To Know About Hunter Moore
1. He was once dubbed “The Most Hated Man On The Internet.” Hunter started the new-defunct site “Is Anyone Up?”, which allowed users to submit nude photos or streaming videos of anyone of legal age; consent or no. Its submissions were mostly “revenge porn” photos of jilted exes who wanted to get back at their former lovers by humiliating them on the Internet. He made as much as $30,000 a month for this.

In The Motel Life, Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff play two brothers, Frank and Jerry, who are living a lonesome country tune’s tale, with specific accents on their bad luck. When Jerry becomes involved in a hit-and-run accident, the two flee their Reno motel for some type of other home, continuing their existence as whiskey-drinking, fantasy-drawing vagabonds. Dakota Fanning stars as Hirsch’s fixation, Annie James, and Kris Kristofferson appears for a few scenes as their working-class daddy figure Earl Hurley. The Motel Life is based on the novel by Willy Vlautin.
Featuring two raggedy performances from the nicely paired Dorff and Hirsch, The Motel Life is a drama that functions well with its influences, namely the Coen Brothers’ romanticism of cold, bad luck, and bits of Paul Thomas Anderson’s own debut Hard Eight.

He's the tabloid whipping boy turned angel of vengeance; the TV comedian who's gone serious with his new film Philomena. At 48, Steve Coogan's career is going full tilt. So why does he have a massive chip on his shoulder, with 'mushy peas and a boat of gravy on the side'? Xan Brooks finds out
One rainy Friday in October, Steve Coogan takes a trip from the Lake District to an expensive part of London. He rolls into town a man in transit, still half-dressed for the country with a yellow tweed cap pulled down round his ears. The car ferries us through sodden streets to a private members club, where a table is booked in an upstairs room. But the hostess is stricken; the place has standards. She won't let him in until he takes off the cap.
It's fitting that Coogan doesn't pass for clubhouse material. His...

Last week’s column, about the apparent suicidal impulses of the Us Postal Service, advanced what I hope is a baseless and purely paranoiac thesis: Because Ups, FedEx, and their ilk don’t cover every form of deliverable and are prohibitively expensive for many small-business shippers, we are in urgent need of alternative low-cost means for shipping parcels and other three-dimensional objects that can’t – or won’t – be deliverable to us in electronic form any time soon. That’s because the P.O.’s collapse might happen faster than we can create the infrastructure necessary to take up the (very minor) slack.
That would be a Geek Apocalypse. Some momzer with an encyclopedic memory of The Overstreet Guide won’t be able to profitably ship you that copy of Tales To Astonish #12 you bid too much for. And your ability to receive items like priceless Mr. Terrific maquettes, or...

When I was a little kid, the original The Fly scared the crap out of me. Then, later, when I wrote the Star Trek and Justice League franchises in comics, I felt a morbid and uneasy fascination with the transporter idea, which I’d always thought had a greater potential for disaster than deliverance. But I never did much with it, because my early Vincent Price-induced trauma left me with zero interest in writing about steaming piles of misshapen, dying flesh. So I never thought I’d see the day when I’d write these words:
We need teleportation. Badly. And we need it now.
Why am I bending your digital ear with this?
Well, another day I never thought I’d see is the one when the number of Americans who self-identify as Geeks would outnumber Americans who give a flying rat’s ass about what happens to the Us Postal Service.

To mark the release of Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, Rob takes us through the high points of Alan Partridge's TV career...
Certain TV shows are watched so excessively that quoting them in general conversation has just became part of the norm. The Office, The Simpsons and Spaced are three such, but none have been stolen from with quite as much regularity as Norfolk’s favourite son, Alan Partridge. For better or for worse, Partridgisms have cemented their place in our everyday vernacular. The likes of, “cos I’m a bloody bloke”, “see the match?” and “scum, sub-human scum” are just a few of the phrases that AP (with a little help from his writers) has gifted to the world over the years.
He may be a socially awkward, insensitive, selfish, narcissist obsessed with his own celebrity status, but despite all this, it’s hard to not love Alan.

Growing up gay as a suburban teenager in the mid 90s, my access to queer culture was severely limited (ie nonexistent). Before the proliferation of the internet, one relied on the “gay” section in bookstores and video stores, if there even was one, to seek out examples of visible representation in the media throughout the years. I remember one day as a high school junior skipping class to go see The Object of My Affection at the local mall, a Jennifer Aniston rom-com in which Paul Rudd plays a gay character. I knew nothing about the movie or Paul Rudd (odds are that in 1998 if he were famous he wouldn’t have been playing gay), but the fact that there was a movie playing at the local multiplex with a gay character in it was enough to drive identification-starved me to ditch school. It was a formative experience at the time,...

Brace yourselves. This list of the Top 100 Greatest Gay Movies is probably going to generate some howls of protest thanks to a rather major upset in the rankings. Frankly, one that surprised the hell out of us here at AfterElton.
But before we get to that, an introduction. A few weeks ago we asked AfterElton readers to submit up to ten of their favorite films by write-in vote. We conducted a similar poll several years ago, but a lot has happened culturally since then, and a number of worthy movies of gay interest have been released. We wanted to see how your list of favorites had changed.
We also wanted to expand our list to 100 from the top 50 we had done previously. We figured there were finally enough quality gay films to justify the expansion. And we wanted to break out gay documentaries onto their own list (You'll find the...

Midnight’s Children, Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta’s tale of India in the years after it gained independence, will be the opening film of the Vancouver International Film Festival later this month.
The film, based on Salman Rushdie’s Booker Prize-winning novel, has its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this week.
Artistic director Alan Franey says Viff looks for a Canadian film that’s a real crowd-pleaser to open the festival.
“We look for a film that is entertaining and will put people in a good mood and that reminds them what world cinema is about,” he told CBC News.
Mehta has been a popular filmmaker at the Vancouver festival in the past, with much-loved works such as Water and Bollywood/Hollywood. Rushdie collaborated closely with her in making the film.

Straddling the fine line between success and failure in Hollywood is like walking a tightrope of future career persecution and retrospective judgement.
Success on the TV screen is not always amply rewarded with a success on the big screen. There are a few ways to make the cut – reinvent your career through TV (Keifer Sutherland style), take the path less trodden with a series of slow-burning support roles (Jk Simmons) or have a huge hit on TV simply too large to ignore (Ricky Gervais).

Truth in advertising from Suda51, Grasshopper, and WB Interactive.
I'm not a huge fan of the art here which doesn't really do service to the garish, crazy imagery of the game, but here it is, the cover to one of my most anticipated titles of 2011, Lollipop Chainsaw.
Whatever else you might think about the latest from Grasshopper Manufacture's latest, the evocatively-titled it's not afraid to go big. The zombie hack and slash from the No More Heroes and Killer 7 developer is crazy with zombie splatter, garish filters, cussing baddies, fan service, and sparkly hearts.
Grasshopper CEO Suda 51 is at the helm of this one, bringing along the same referential, winking tone that he injected into his previous titles. Grasshopper games aren't always ones you're necessarily excited about playing so much as experiencing so you can talk about them to other gamers. In this case, it looks like the huge,...

Storytellers is an ongoing attempt to tease out bits of history or literature that would make damned good films. Because if we throw enough ideas out there, Hollywood might accidentally make something good.
"Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition." -Alan Turing
Alan Turing was one of the most brilliant men ever spun out of the human genome, a mathematician by trade, a codebreaker during World War II, and in 1936 he published the intuitive leap that invented the information age. He adapted Kurt Gödel's mathematics of logic into the theoretical application that became the basis for all computers. At the time, great machines were constructed by PhDs for various specific sundry tasks of computation. The bastard offspring of pipe organs and telegraphs, these steam punk hybrids filled rooms, chomped on punch card memory chips and ticker tape hard drives, chugging and grinding along like your grandma's ancient sewing machine.

Water and energy use are two of the most pressing environmental issues; why not tackle them at the same time? Ge and the Environmental Protection Agency have teamed up to do just that with a research and development agreement that will focus on developing software that streamlines clean water distribution while using 10% to 15% less energy than traditional water systems.
In a statement, Alan Hinchman, Global Industry Manager Water/Wastewater for Ge Intelligent Platforms, explains:
With this agreement, Ge and the U.S. Epa will work with third parties to create a sensor-based, data-driven, and software-assisted system for drinking water distributions. The goal would be to optimize water quality improvement and minimize energy usage. By doing so, the product could assist water utilities and other end users with "greener" distribution network operations and enhanced regulatory compliance.
It would seem to be a nebulous goal if Ge didn't have plenty of requirements...
