Archive by Date | Archive by Article Title EW's The Sci-Fi 25 Needs Work Entertainment Weekly's "The Sci-Fi 25" list, of the top 25 scifi moments from the last 25 years, is a bit off the mark. What do you think? Here's our take. Update 5/17/07: The EW has released its viewers' choice version after getting over 1,000 emails. Doctor Who Returns! "Doctor Who" will return on the SciFi Channel later this year. Also, BBC America will introduce spin-off "Torchwood" in December. SciFi Devotes Tribute Site to Stargate SG-1 SciFi Channel, the network that cancelled "Stargate SG-1" after a solid decade, is hosting a tribute site for the show's final 10 episodes. Book Review - Dark, Poetic Children of Men Provides Thoughtful Premise The post-apocalyptic book Children of Men is not much like the movie, except for the main idea. But although the plot isn't particularly complex, the characters and language are, and it's a good book worth curling up with if you enjoy well-written science fiction. V Complete Episode Guide "V--the Series" aired for one season on NBC during the 1984-85 season. Though it didn't live up to the miniseries that spawned it, fans still enjoyed watching lizard lady Diana eat gummy rats every week. Here's a complete listing of episodes and plotlines. The Latest Battlestar Galactica News Did you see that last episode? Producers Ron Moore and David Eick have been promising something big, but...wow. Let's take a look at some of the latest news about SciFi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica." Note: Spoilers ahead. Scifi TV Talent Profile - Erin Gray, Actor Erin Gray is best known for her roles on "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and "Silver Spoons." Find out more about this prolific actress, model, speaker and teacher in this new feature series. Star Trek Actors Speak Though "Star Trek" is gone from TV, we still have a soft spot in our hearts for this franchise. Here are some of the actors, discussing the show and their roles in it. SciFi Channel Announces 2007 Development Slate The SciFi Channel's 2007 development slate includes a miniseries based on a Neal Stephenson novel, six scripted shows focusing on action and the supernatural, and two reality offerings. The Stigma Against Scifi TV - The Networks The stigma against scifi TV isn't just the fault of the viewing public; it's the networks that control cancellations, after all. Other than "Star Trek" and "The X-Files" and a few syndicated series, true scifi TV shows rarely last more than one season.

Best fantasy WR of course. I am completely torn. I don't think there is one legit, can't miss, dominant WR this year. The closest I could think of is Chad Johnson but he was pretty average last year. Steve Smith is the only legit weapon on his offense but it's tough to put up #'s consistantly in a bad offense. The reason I ask is because I have the #4 overall in my draft this year. Our league has 10 teams, each keeping 2 which basically makes this a 3rd round pick. I think I'll be in an ideal spot for a top level WR (all top QB's were kept and I kept 2 RB's). On a Patriots note, I'll bet Stallworth will be a good option as a #2 or 3 WR. He could be available late and be a great value.
Tory Holt. Regards, Chris P.S. - When is your draft? Soon? Before the schedule comes out? Or are you just getting a jump on next season?
steve smith was terrible for me down the stretch as was andre johnson chad tore it up for me some weeks, then others would disapear you must be thinkin my whole team was wrs think again i also had housh, steven jackson, carson palmer, da bears, ladell betts (portis before gettin hurt), marques colston, gore, vince young, hasselbeck, etc yeah, i shoulda won it all (for the second straight yr) unfortunately i had my worst game of the yr in the semis (i actually had the best game anyone had all yr in the conselation championship)
Our draft isn't until August. I'm just bored with the offseason bickering in the main forum. And I forgot about Andre Johnson... they have no TE or RB a young QB might just lob the ball his way when things go bad.
i had holt in the 06 season and i was thoroughly happy, until he disapeared when the rams started to lose, after going 4-1.... how are you doing your keeper leagues? in my leauge we do it this way 1. you can keep up to 2 players on your roster 2. you cant keep a player that was drafted in the first 2 rounds 3. the value of your player increases 2 rounds, if he was drafted in rounds 3-9, so if i kept reggie wayne, who was drafted in the 3rd round, he would be my first round pick, as he was taken in the 3rd 4. for players drafted in rounds 10-16, their value increases 3 rounds, i took rivers in the 13th round, and kept him, so he woulde my 10th round pick...(huge steal for me) 5. UFA who had a surprising year (like colston) would be considered an above average player and is considered an 8th round pick 6. trades are optional - like trade draft picks, so if someone wanted rivers, and offered a 3rd or 4th round pick, and i accepted, then i'd tell him who to draft in that 3rd or 4th round, then after the draft i'd trade him rivers for that 3rd/4th round pick, which makes things a little complicated, most likely no one will trade picks for players until they get the hang of it in coming years.... the reason why we're not allowed to keep players that were drafted in the first 2 rounds is, well obviously its stupid/unfair....keeping manning or brady or LT/LJ every year...lol.... what about yours?
My league has one keeper and it can be whoever you want. Of course the LT, LJ and SA owners keep those guys. We're looking to change the rules so you can keep the same keeper for only 3 years max. I've been in the league for 3 years and the title game went like this: Year 1: LT owner wins. Year 2: LJ owner wins (over me...boo!). Year 3: LT owner is runner up (to ME!). Regards, Chris
Our keeper rules are simple. You can keep up to 2 players with no penalty for up to 3 years. Our draft order is determined by last years standings, not rotating rounds. The playoff teams pick in reverse standing order (1st place picks #10, 2nd picks #9 etc.) non playoff teams pick in real order (6th place picks #1, 5th picks #2). This keeps non playoff teams from tanking the losers bracket for the first pick. This is all of our first keeper league and our first off season so I'm sure they'll be some changes. One that I proposed is a required 3 year contract for keepers. You can still cut the a keeper but you don't get another until his 3 year contract is up. Another idea we were throwing out there is giving extra picks for not using keeper tags. The first round of the draft would be only teams that didn't keep anyone, the second round would be teams that kept two players then the 3rd round would include all teams.
I just got my list of keepers for all the teams. The only WR's kept were Harrison and Wayne. This means that I may consider moving up for Smith. If I can't move up then I DEFINATELY take him at #4.
Now that the schedule is out, look at the top WR's schedules during your playoff weeks. If you think CJ, Steve Smith and Tory Holt are all worthy of consideration, pick whoever appears to have the most favorable playoff schedule. Regards, Chris
I would have to go with Steve Smith or CJ. I know Smith doesn't have a very good QB right now, but he will make up for it with his talent, and he will be pissed from his average preformance in 06
This year's stud WR will be Roy Williams. a.) He has tremendous talent. b.) He plays on a pass first, second, and third offense. c.) His team will be playing from behind...pass offense and garbage time yards/tds d.) At least 9 of his game wills be in a dome, perfect pass conditions. You could probably even trade down and still grab him.
I don't like to go QB until I have at least two RBs and a WR, but you may seriously want to consider Brady. We all know about his new weapons, and don't forget the Pats are playing no a faster synthetic surface at home. Brady will have his best statistical year.
If Brady were available I'd trade up to the 1st overall to take him regardless of price but his owner kept him. I'm looking at Brady as the #1 QB this year and top 5 player. In fact, let me start talking to his owner about trading for him... I'll keep you updated. As far as Roy Williams I agree with most of your theory but their offense sucks! Even if he's a stud he'll put up slightly better than average numbers. If I could pick him up as my #2 or 3 I'll take him but I think he's got way too much bust potential to rely on every week.
best wide receiver? Owens, but he won't go up to his potential, but now you have to look at Randy Moss. First time he has had an amazing QB. And there are also receivers that will make a difference like Calvin Johnson, who will get lots of pass yards in Detroit, and is arguably going to be one of the best receivers in the NFL when he reaches his potential.

Royals' Yordano Ventura will miss as little as one start as MRI finds no ligament damage
The Royals breathed a public sigh of relief on Tuesday afternoon when they announced Yordano Ventura's MRI on his injured right elbow showed no damage to his ulnar collateral ligament. He will miss at least one start, but manager Ned Yost appeared heartened by the prognosis.
The official diagnosis was a "mild valgus extension overload," which occurs when the bones inside the elbow collide during the delivery of a fastball.
"He's completely asymptomatic this morning," Yost said. "Which means: He doesn't feel a thing."
Ventura left in the third inning of Monday's game. He complained of his discomfort on the outside portion of his elbow. The UCL, the ligament repaired by Tommy John surgery, resides in the inner part of the elbow.
Ventura underwent an MRI on Tuesday morning. He passed stress tests and strength tests on the joint. The team has not yet decided who will replace him in his next outing.

My family and I play league on the same network/internet and what happens is that we can invite each other to games for the most part. However, when we do and start the game, it disconnects one or most of us from the queue or from the champion selection lobby. Usually resulting in those who 'lagged out' having to restart league. Even so, it always repeats itself. And if we get lucky we can get one out of many games that we can actually duo Q or play together. I'd really like to know what exactly is going on. Is it something I can do? Or is it something riot can do for me to fix this problem?

I have a few groups of friends who I play league with, we tend to have mini lan parties and queue between 2 - 4 people from the same connection from time to time. How many total people are trying to play at a time? When you guys do get in game do you lag at all? What kind of internet connection do you have?
Senior Wrenchman
In most cases this is related to your router not being able to handle the level of traffic required for multiple people on your network. League Servers have no restrictions against players on the same network.

Yager announces PC dogfighting game DreadnoughtThe next game from Spec Ops: The Line developer Yager is an aerial dogfighting title for PC called Dreadnought. If CG trailers aren't your thing, hit the gallery below for screenshots. This is being built in Unreal Engine 4, so the game itself still looks sharp. In a war-torn future, you are the mercenary captain of a gigantic ship and with that rank comes responsibility -- lots of it. Players "will assume complete control, dedicating power to specific sub-systems, customizing weapons, engines, armor, abilities, crew and their ships' aesthetics," explains Yager. Watch out for a public beta test early next year. Dreadnought's huge spaceships are a fairly untapped idea, but still feel familiar 5:30 PM on 06.18.2014 Dreadnought Updates, Screenshots, & VideosComments not appearing?

X-Men: The Last Stand (also known as X-Men 3 or X3)[4] is a 2006 superhero film, based on the X-Men superhero team introduced in Marvel Comics. The film, distributed by 20th Century Fox, is the third installment in the X-Men film series. It was directed by Brett Ratner, written by Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn, and features an ensemble cast, including Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, and Famke Janssen. The film's script is loosely based on two X-Men comic book story arcs: "The Dark Phoenix Saga" by writer Chris Claremont and artist John Byrne, and "Gifted" by writer Joss Whedon and artist John Cassaday, with a plot that revolves around a "mutant cure" that causes serious repercussions among mutants and humans, and on the resurrection of Jean Grey.
Bryan Singer, who had directed the two previous films, X-Men (2000) and X2 (2003), decided to leave to work on Superman Returns, as he had not even defined the storyline for a third film. Matthew Vaughn, who was initially hired as the new director, left due to personal and professional issues, and was replaced with Ratner. Filming began in August 2005 with a budget of $210 million, and was consequently the most expensive film at the time of its release. It had extensive visual effects created by 11 different companies.
X-Men: The Last Stand was released on May 26, 2006, to commercial success. It grossed approximately $459 million worldwide, becoming the seventh-highest grossing film of 2006 and the highest grossing film in the series, until it was surpassed by X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014. Critical reception was mixed, with the acting and the action scenes receiving positive notice, and criticism directed at the screenplay and style.
Twenty years previously, Professor Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr meet young Jean Grey at her parents' house to invite her to join their school. Ten years later, the industrialist father of Warren Worthington III discovers his son is a mutant as the boy tries to cut off his wings.
In the present, Worthington Labs announces it has developed an inoculation to suppress the X-gene that gives mutants their abilities, offering the "cure" to any mutant who wants it. The cure is created from the genome of a young mutant named Jimmy, who lives at the Worthington facility on Alcatraz Island. While some mutants are interested in the cure, including the X-Men's Rogue, many others are horrified by the announcement. In response to the news, Lensherr, now known as the X-Men's adversary Magneto, reforms his Brotherhood of Mutants with mutants who oppose the cure, warning his followers that the cure will be forcefully used to exterminate the mutant race.
With help from Mystique and Pyro, Magneto recruits Callisto, Juggernaut, and Multiple Man, though Mystique takes a shot of the mutant cure aimed at Magneto, leading him to abandon her. Meanwhile, Cyclops, still distraught over the loss of fiancée Jean Grey, drives to her resting location at Alkali Lake. Jean appears to Cyclops but, as the two kiss, Jean starts disintegrating her lover. Sensing trouble, Xavier sends Wolverine and Storm to investigate. When they arrive, the two X-Men find telekinetically floating rocks, Cyclops' glasses, and an unconscious Jean. Cyclops himself is nowhere to be found.
When they return to the X-Mansion, Xavier explains to Wolverine that, when Jean sacrificed herself, she unleashed the powerful alternate personality she calls "Phoenix", which Xavier had telepathically repressed, fearing the Phoenix's destructive potential. Wolverine is disgusted to learn of this psychic tampering with Jean's mind but, once she awakens, Wolverine realizes she killed Cyclops and is not the Jean Grey he knew. The Phoenix awakens, knocks out Wolverine, and escapes to her childhood home.
Magneto learns of Jean's resurrection through Callisto, and the X-Men arrive at the Grey home at the same time as the Brotherhood. Magneto and Xavier vie for Jean's loyalty until the Phoenix resurfaces. She destroys the house and disintegrates Xavier before leaving with Magneto. The Brotherhood decides to strike Worthington Labs, and Magneto uses his powers to relocate the Golden Gate Bridge to connect Alcatraz to the San Francisco mainland to facilitate the attack. The X-Men confront the Brotherhood, despite being significantly outnumbered, and arrive just as the military troops, who thus far had been neutralizing the attacking mutants, are overwhelmed by the Brotherhood.
During the fight, Beast injects Magneto with the cure, nullifying his powers, and Kitty Pryde and Jimmy save themselves from Juggernaut's attack. Army reinforcements arrive and attack Jean, awakening the Phoenix, who uses her powers to obliterate the troops. As the Phoenix's attacks begin to destroy the facilities and mutants at Alcatraz, Wolverine realizes that, due to his healing factor, only he can approach the Phoenix. Wolverine approaches her, and Jean momentarily gains control and begs him to save her. Wolverine fatally stabs Jean, stopping the devastating force, but mourns her death.
Sometime later, Xavier's school is still operating with Storm as headmistress, and the President of the United States appoints Beast as ambassador to the United Nations. Rogue reveals to Bobby Drake that she has taken the cure, while Magneto sits alone at a chessboard in a San Francisco park. As he gestures toward a metal chess piece, it wobbles slightly, suggesting that his powers are returning.
In a post-credits scene, Dr. Moira MacTaggert checks on a comatose patient who greets her with Xavier's voice, leaving her startled.
The X-Men are a special ops team from The Xavier Institute, charged with protecting both humans and mutants, and trying to prevent a war between the two.
The Brotherhood is Magneto's personal strike force, whose goal is to ensure mutant supremacy over the human race.
The Omegas are a group of mutant outcasts existing as part of an underground network that stretches across the nation.
Various characters were included at the suggestion of editor Mark Helfrich, who brought to director Brett Ratner Marvel's X-Men Encyclopedia searching for mutants that could make appearances. These include Phat, a very large man who slims down to fit in a smaller space (played by two actors, Via Saleaumua - "large mode" - and Richard Yee - "small mode");[22] Spike (Lance Gibson), a mutant who battles Wolverine in the forest by extruding bony spikes from his flesh - a character was added because the editing team felt in the original cut of the scene Logan was portrayed as a cold-blooded killer, which could be changed if another mutant attacked Wolverine before he struck upon the Brotherhood -[27] and Glob Herman (Clayton Dean Watmough), a mutant with transparent skin.[10]
Various other mutants make cameos at the X-Mansion. Shauna Kain and Kea Wong reprised their cameo roles as Siryn and Jubilee respectively, and three identical girls in the background in one scene are a reference to the Stepford Cuckoos. X-Men co-creator Stan Lee and writer Chris Claremont have cameos in the film's opening scene as the neighbors of young Jean Grey.[22][32] The sergeant directing defensive preparations before the Brotherhood assaults Alcatraz Island is played by R. Lee Ermey.[33]
Bryan Singer, the director of the first two X-Men films, left the project in July 2004 in favor of developing Superman Returns.[34] Singer stated that he "didn't fully have X-Men 3 in my mind" in contrast to a fully formed idea for a Superman film and interest in joining that franchise.[35] By the time of his departure, Singer had only produced a partial story treatment with X2 screenwriters Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty, who accompanied him to Superman Returns. The treatment focused on Jean Grey's resurrection,[36] which would also introduce the villainness Emma Frost, a role intended for Sigourney Weaver.[37] Frost was an empath manipulating Jean's emotions in the treatment and, like the finished film, Magneto desires to control her. Overwhelmed by her powers, Jean kills herself, but Jean's spirit survives and becomes a god-like creature, which Dougherty compared to the star child in A Space Odyssey.[38]
New contracts for returning cast members were made, as the actors and actresses had signed for only two films.[39] Hugh Jackman's contract included the approval of director,[40] initially offering the position to Darren Aronofsky, with whom he had just finished filming on The Fountain.[41] Joss Whedon, whose comic book "Gifted" was integrated into the script's plot, turned down the offer because he was working on a Wonder Woman film.[42] Rob Bowman[43] and Alex Proyas[44] were also rumored to be up for consideration, though Proyas personally turned it down, citing feuds with 20th Century Fox president Thomas Rothman while producing I, Robot.[45] Zack Snyder was also approached, but he was already committed to 300.[46] In February 2005, with still no director hired, Fox announced a May 5, 2006, release date, with filming to start in July 2005 in Vancouver.[47] One month later, the studio signed Matthew Vaughn to direct, and pushed the release date three weeks to May 26, Memorial Day weekend.[48] Vaughn cast Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Dania Ramirez as Callisto, and Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut, but family issues led him to withdraw before filming began.[13][49] Vaughn was also cautious of the tight deadlines imposed by Fox, stating that he "didn't have the time to make the movie that I wanted to make".[50]
Brett Ratner, who was previously considered to direct X-Men in 1996, replaced Vaughn during pre-production.[13] Ratner said he was surprised to get an invitation, as he thought he would have no chances on doing a comic book film after the cancelled Superman: Flyby.[51] With a limited knowledge of the X-Men mythos, Ratner trusted his writers on doing something faithful to the comics, having the script drawing all of its scenes from the original Marvel publications.[22]
Simon Kinberg, who had worked in other two Marvel adaptations for Fox, Fantastic Four and Elektra,[52] was hired as writer for X-Men 3 in August 2004. X2 co-writer Zak Penn was separately working on his own draft, and the two joined forces for a combined screenplay in January 2005. Kinberg wanted "The Dark Phoenix Saga" to be the emotional plot of the film, while "Gifted" would serve as the political focus.[53] The duo had seven months to complete The Last Stand's script, and during the first week of work completed the first eighty pages, consisting of the first two-thirds of the plot. This incomplete draft was leaked to Ain't It Cool News, who proceeded to do a negative review.[54][55]
The writers had to fight Fox's executives to retain the Phoenix plot, as the studio only wanted the cure story as it provided a reason for Magneto's conflict with the X-Men. Still the disputes made them not add much for Jean Grey to do in most of the film's second half, as the executives considered the tone of the Phoenix story too dark for a mainstream summer movie, and that its appeal would be limited to hardcore fans rather than a general audience.[54] Penn defended the divergences from the original Dark Phoenix stories, stating that the Phoenix was not a firebird-shaped cosmic force "because it doesn't fit into the world," and that Cyclops did not have as much screentime as Wolverine because the latter was more popular and "with Cyclops, you can't see his eyes. It's a harder character to relate to for the audience."[56] Killing Cyclops was Fox's decision, based on the availability of actor James Marsden, who was cast in Singer's Superman Returns. The studio considered killing him off-screen with a dialogue reference, but Kinberg and Penn insisted that Jean kill him, emphasizing their relationship. Xavier's death was intended to match the impact of Spock's demise in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, as Fox felt the script called for a dramatic turning point. Kinberg and Penn were originally cautious, but grew to like the idea of killing off Xavier. They decided to write a post-credits scene suggesting the character's return for a sequel.[54]
As the studio was simultaneously developing X-Men Origins: Wolverine, limitations were set on which mutants could be used for cameo appearances in X-Men 3 in an attempt to avoid risking character development for Wolverine.[57] Gambit was considered for both the convoy scene being freed by Magneto and the Battle of Alcatraz along with the X-Men, but the writers did not want to introduce a fan favorite character and "not be able to do him justice." Kinberg reasoned, "there just wasn't enough space", and considered Gambit would only work with as much screentime as Beast.[22][53] Alan Cumming had been uncomfortable with the long hours he had to take with the prosthetic makeup as Nightcrawler in X2, but still planned to return for the sequel. The part of Nightcrawler was so minimal, however, that the studio felt it was not worthwhile to go through the long and costly makeup process, and the character was cut.[58] Kinberg felt that "there wasn't much left to do with the character. It also felt like he might tread a little bit on the terrain of Beast, in terms of similarities in the characters and their political standpoints in terms of dealing with their mutancy." Nightcrawler's absence was later explained in the tie-in video game.[53] The introdutory scenes tried to emulate the Auschwitz opener for the first film, going with different scenes that resonated later in the plot instead of an action scene like in most blockbusters. Afterwards came a scene in the Danger Room, which was considered for the previous X-Men films but never included for budget and writing concerns. The writers tried to make the simulation not feel extraneous by showcasing some of the character conflicts and abilities in a "Days of Future Past"-inspired battle with a Sentinel. Another repurposed scene was Magneto attacking the convoy to free Mystique, Madrox and Juggernaut, which Penn had previously envisioned for X2.[22]
Ratner collaborated with Penn and Kinberg in rearranging the plot structure of the film.[51] Originally, the Golden Gate Bridge sequence was in the middle of the film, where the moved bridge was used by Magneto to free mutants being held prisoners on Alcatraz, and the climax was set in Washington, D.C..[59] Ratner felt too many recent action films, such as Planet of the Apes and X2 itself, had their ending in Washington, and the Golden Gate sequence "would be the biggest sequence in my entire career", and suggested to instead put the Worthington laboratory in Alcatraz, along with "creating a face for the cure", which became the character of Jimmy/Leech. Kinberg agreed, as he previously argued with Penn about "blowing so many things early in the movie".[22][60][61]
X-Men: The Last Stand began shooting in August 2005 and wrapped in January 2006. Much of the film was shot at Vancouver Film Studios, the same location of X2.[47][58] Locations included the Hatley Park National Historic Site and Royal Roads University, which doubled for the X-Mansion.[62] An old lumber mill next to the Fraser River doubled as Alcatraz Island.[31] The tight schedule made Ratner "begin post-production the day I started shooting," sending the scenes he had just filmed to his editors. The editing team was led by Mark Helfrich, who had edited all of Ratner's films, assisted by Mark Goldblatt in the action scenes and Julia Wong with effects-heavy footage.[63]
According to associate producer Dave Gordon, "This is the biggest production ever filmed in Canada. It used to be X2, now it's X3."[58] The $210 million budget also made The Last Stand the most expensive film to be made at the time.[3][40][64] The film's record would be first broken by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest's $225 million budget.[65] The original cinematographer was Philippe Rousselot, who eventually opted to depart production. Dante Spinotti, a frequent collaborator of Ratner, replaced him, with assistance of J. Michael Muro.[5][66] Fox Filmed Entertainment co-chairmen Thomas Rothman and Jim Gianopulos debated whether Rogue should give Iceman a passionate kiss at the film's end or simply hold his hand. The two executives screened The Last Stand for their daughters, as well as the studio's female marketing executives, and the hand holding prevailed. Gianopulos stated that the kissing "was all about sex, and we didn't want that."[67] A strong campaign of secrecy about the script was enforced by Ratner and the writers. Even the actors had problems with getting full screenplays, the call sheets did not reveal all the characters, and many scenes were shot in varied ways.[31][68] Both of the ending scenes were not included on the shooting script, with Ratner taking a small crew during one day's lunch time to film the post-credits scene with Xavier, and later going to London to film Magneto in the park.[69]
To make sure the visual effects were made in just one year and without exceeding the budget, special effects supervisor John Bruno shipped the 900 effects shots to eleven companies in four countries - United States, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Canada - and did extensive previsualization.[18][61] Their work begun in April 2005, before the director Brett Ratner had even been announced,[3] and Bruno made sure to emphasize practical effects, "shoot as many practical elements as possible, and only use CG when we had to." For instance, complex wirework rigs were employed which enabled the actors to do some stunts without resorting to digital doubles,[10] including a computer controlled flying rig from Cirque Du Soleil for Angel's flight,[61] and one for Halle Berry's flying spins.[63]
Bruno estimates one-sixth of the effects budget was spent on the Golden Gate Bridge scene, which employed both a miniature of the bridge and computer graphics.[3] The effects team had to work without reference footage due to the city of San Francisco vetting any filming in the actual bridge, including aerial shooting as the area has restrictions on flying helicopters.[10] Framestore had further challenges in matching the varied weather conditions across the film's plates. As compositing supervisor Matt Twyford detailed, "the elements consisted of cold, rainy night live-action footage from Vancouver, sunny day miniature elements, traditional misty day background plates of San Francisco, and of course the CG bridge and fx elements."[70] Another miniature was for the Grey home, which had a destructable equivalent matched the Canadian location and also had a digital equivalent.[10] A notable effect was the "digital skin-grafting", which rejuvenated the faces of senior actors Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, made by the Brothers Strause's Lola Visual Effects.[71] Bruno made sure to ask the atomization made by Phoenix was not too vivid and gruesome, instead resembling oatmeal.[61]
Ratner, a fan of John Powell's work in The Bourne Identity, invited Powell to write the music for The Last Stand. Powell was unsure if the Bourne work was "the kind of score that would fit the film" and Fox got reluctant on the composer's availability given he was already scoring Ice Age 2: The Meltdown at the time of Ratner's contact. But Powell finished the Ice Age score early to accept the X-Men job even if it meant a tighter schedule. Powell included references to the score from the previous two films as "it all had to be in the same family, and the same language". The Phoenix theme e used lyrics from Benjamin Britten's Requiem Mass for the choir parts.[72] A soundtrack album was released on May 23, 2006.[73]
The marketing for The Last Stand was darker and more ambiguous compared to the two predecessors. Fox president Tom Rothman declared that the decision was made so the film would "be different from all of the other movies in the summer," with a campaign that "wanted people to stop and not have it be so immediately apparent that we're selling a movie. We're interested in selling an emotion and an idea."[74] The film's official website was launched in October 2005.[75] The teaser trailer release with King Kong the following December[76] was done in conjunction with the studio releasing the film's first official screen shots of the film to USA Today.[77] Diamond Select Toys created a toy line, scanning the actors from the film with likenesses for the first time in the trilogy.[78] Additional product tie-ins came with Harley-Davidson[79] and 7-Eleven.[80] A seven-minute sneak peek aired on Fox Broadcasting two weeks before the film's theatrical release.[81]
Del Rey Books published a novelization of the film, written by comic book writer Chris Claremont,[82] while Newmarket Press published The Art of X-Men: The Last Stand: From Concept to Feature Film.[83] Claremont also worked on Activision's tie-in video game, X-Men: The Official Game, doing the script along with screenwriter Zak Penn. The game's story bridges the events between X2 and The Last Stand,[84][85] featuring Wolverine, Iceman and Nightcrawler as playable characters, voiced by their film portrayers Hugh Jackman, Shawn Ashmore, and Alan Cumming. Patrick Stewart also appears as Professor X.[86] The game was released to negative reviews and eventually underperformed commercially.[87]
X-Men: The Last Stand premiered at an out-of-competition event of the 2006 Cannes Film Festival on May 22, 2006.[88] Two days later, Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry and Kelsey Grammer attended an advance screening at USS Kearsarge (LHD-3), as the ship was en route to New York City for Fleet Week.[89] X-Men: The Last Stand was released in the United States on May 26, 2006, in 3,690 theaters,[90] while also opening in 95 international markets that same weekend.[91]
At Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 58% based on reviews from 231 critics, with an average score of 5.9/10. The site's consensus reads, "Director Brett Ratner has replaced the heart and emotion (and character development) of the previous X-Men films with more action and explosions. The film should still provide ample entertainment, but viewers may truly wish this to be the Last Stand."[92] At Metacritic, it has a score of 58% based on 38 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[93]
Ebert and Roeper gave the film a "two thumbs up" rating, with Roger Ebert saying, "I liked the action, I liked the absurdity, I liked the incongruous use and misuse of mutant powers, and I especially liked the way it introduces all of those political issues and lets them fight it out with the special effects."[94] Stephanie Zacharek of Salon.com gave it a mixed review, noting that it was "only half a mess", and that Ratner "could have stuck a bit more closely to the 'Dark Phoenix' narrative than he did." However, Zacharek did note that that third act captured some of the original story's "majesty".[95] Famke Janssen's performance was praised by critics and audiences. Also impressed with Janssen's performance was Total Film, who said, "Playing the super-freaky mind-control goddess like GoldenEye's Xenia Onatopp's all-powerful psycho sister, her scenes – particularly that one with the house – crackle with energy and tragedy. If only the rest of X3 had followed suit."[96]
Justin Chang of Variety said the film was "a wham-bam sequel noticeably lacking in the pop gravitas, moody atmospherics, and emotional weight that made the first two Marvel comicbook adaptations so rousingly successful."[97] Frank Lovece of Film Journal International said, "A risk-taking script with genuine consequences elevates this above the lackluster direction of Brett Ratner, whose competent mechanics move the story efficiently but with very little soul."[98] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly called it a ""diminished sequel, a brute-force enterprise" and said it was an example of "what happens when movies are confused with sandwich shops as franchise opportunities".[99] The Minneapolis Star Tribune characterized Ratner's approach as "Forget subtlety! Let's blow things up!"[100] David Edelstein of New York magazine called it "just another big-budget B-movie. It's a fast and enjoyable B-movie, though."[101] Foreshadowing X-Men: First Class, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said, "Last stand? My ass. Billed as the climax of a trilogy, the third and weakest chapter in the X-Men series is a blatant attempt to prove there is still life in the franchise. And there is: just enough to pull a Star Trek and spawn a Next Generation saga."[102]
Writer Simon Kinberg would later state that "there are a lot of things about 'X3' that I love and there are a lot of things that I regret", detailing that he would have preferred the Dark Phoenix as the main plotline and "I would have fought harder" for that, considering that at the period "the darkness of her story was a little bit daunting on a huge $200 million studio movie" leading Fox to ask for rewrites.[103] Previous X-Men director Bryan Singer declared that The Last Stand "isn't what I would have done" and he was dissatisfied with the busy plot and excessive character deaths, but Singer still liked some parts of the movie, such as Ellen Page's casting - leading Singer to bring her back as Kitty Pride in X-Men: Days of Future Past - and the scenes with Leech, which he described as "really sweet moments".[104] Matthew Vaughn, who was attached as director before dropping out, criticized Ratner's direction: "I could have done something with far more emotion and heart. I'm probably going to be told off for saying that, but I genuinely believe it."[50] While promoting his own installment of the franchise, 2011's X-Men: First Class, Vaughn would say regarding The Last Stand that "I storyboarded the whole bloody film, did the script. My X3 would have been 40 minutes longer. They didn't let the emotions and the drama play in that film. It became wall-to-wall noise and drama. I would have let it breathe and given far more dramatic elements to it."[105]
X-Men: The Last Stand broke the Memorial Day weekend record with $102,750,665 in its four-day opening weekend.[106] The film's release was also a new single-day record for Friday openings.[107] The opening weekend gross was surpassed six weeks later by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, making The Last Stand's opening the second-highest of 2006.[108] Internationally, The Last Stand topped the box office in 26 countries with a total gross of $76.1 million overall, but suffered competition from The Da Vinci Code, which retained the top spot in most markets, and beat The Last Stand in international gross that weekend with $91 million.[91][109] The film's second weekend dropped 67 percent to $34 million, which was the steepest post-Memorial Day opening drop on record.[110] X-Men: The Last Stand eventually grossed $234,362,462 in the domestic box office and $224,997,093 internationally, for a worldwide total of $459,359,555,[90] the fourth-highest in domestic grosses[108] and seventh-highest worldwide for 2006.[111] X-Men: The Last Stand was also the highest-grossing film in the franchise, until it was surpassed by X-Men: Days of Future Past eight years later.[112]

X-Men: The Last Stand was released on October 3, 2006, on DVD. It was available in three editions: single-disc, two-disc, and a trilogy box set with the previous two films. Extras included three alternative endings, each with optional commentary by director Brett Ratner; 10 deleted scenes; audio commentaries from Ratner, the writers and the producers; and two hidden Easter eggs. The two-disc edition came with a 100-page commemorative comic book with a new story written by X-Men co-creator Stan Lee, his first original Marvel comic book in five years.[122] The DVD sold 2.6 million units in its first day, exceeding Fox's expectations,[123] and sold a total 5 million in its first week.[124] A Blu-ray edition of the film was issued in November 2006.[125]
In February 2006, Brett Ratner said that The Last Stand could be the final X-Men film: "We wanted to make sure the audiences knew that this was a trilogy. Even though they weren't made together like 'Lord of the Rings,' this is really closure for the X-Men series. … This is the last stand for sure."[126] However, the next two X-Men films, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) and X-Men: First Class (2011) were instead prequels that took place before the events of the first X-Men. The first installment set chronologically after The Last Stand was The Wolverine, released on July 26, 2013. A stand-alone sequel,[127] The Wolverine shows Logan heading for Japan to escape the memories of what occurred during X-Men: The Last Stand. Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen reprised their roles, while Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart appear in a mid-credits scene.[128]
A direct sequel to the film, X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is also a direct sequel to First Class, was released on May 23, 2014, with Jackman, Halle Berry, Stewart, McKellen, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Daniel Cudmore, Kelsey Grammer, Famke Janssen and James Marsden returning in their respective roles.[129] The plot, inspired by the arc "Days of Future Past", begins in a dystopian future years after The Last Stand, and Wolverine's consciousness is sent back into his 1973 self so he could guide the past Xavier and Magneto into preventing the catastrophe. The events of the film end up applying retroactive continuity to all of the X-Men films, except First Class, with the ending set in a newer timeline where Jean and Cyclops are still alive.[35][103]

Aloha friends, If you can make it to Datavision store party right on if not i will be starting two live MPEG-4 QuickTime feeds for remote access using http transport to get through most firewalls. There will be an audio only 34Kbps feed and a 230Kbps Video feed for broadband users. If you want to check your QuickTime configuration for the show try my site

It looks like the afterparty is at 9PM EST.

I just got back, it was pretty crowded, compusa would have been a better choice for this event. The live entertainment (rappers, a female r&b vocalist, dj's playing techno) in the back of the store was pretty bad imo. I did manage to win a totally worthless prize, 4 tickets to Jersey Girl, a movie that I have no intention of watching not to mention the fact that its out of the theaters in the NYC area. Okay I'm done ranting now.

hey! i just came back from the party too and i thought it was alright. i do agree that the place was too small, very crowded in there.

I was one of the lucky winners today. I won a brand new pair of custom made ultimate ears UE-5c's. These babies retail for $550, not including the cost of having your ears custom molded. i would say I came out with atleast $700 earphones. WHOA!
This was a blessing. I hate my damn apple ear buds. They are HORRIBLE. I am up to my 4th pair.
Anyways…just thought I'd share a little.
Posted by CAS on May 19, 2004 at 7:47 PM (CDT)
SIGH. I wanted a pair of those earphones. Why did they stick that thing in your mouth while it was molding the ear piece?

Did you meet any one of the iSkin team?
Posted by wally on May 20, 2004 at 6:29 AM (CDT)
Some of the girls from the iSkin team were HOT!!!!! There were these 2 black girls there that looked simply deliscious. There were some Asian and white models too, but could compare to the girls I mentioned earlier.
That piece for the mouth helped get a better impression of your ear canal. I forget all the technical details she told me, but that was the bottom line.
I also got a really cool animated tough man iPod airbrushed onto a t-shirt.
Cool stuff,
Posted by CAS on May 20, 2004 at 6:39 AM (CDT)
I got there at 6 and the place was packed. It was REALLY disorganized. You had to wait to get in, only to have to wait 5 minutes just to check in your bag because the store staff was milling about behind the counter rather than, gee, taking the damn bag.
All the sponsors were jammed around a tiny table, where the raffle bin was. There were a million people standing around waiting for new raffle slips to be brought out (the store ran out), and Datavision started the raffles without people getting a chance to put in slips. I waited about 20 minutes and still no new slips were brought out, so I left in disgust. I never spotted any ipodlounge t-shirts (I would have liked one; it's why I went there in the first place, as I already have sweet Shure E2s and an iSkin). As I left, I passed an Apple rep talking to a store person, stating that when he arrived there were no items to give away in some area, so he was glad that the other sponsors had finally put in their giveaways. Overall it was a really disorganized mess that really made all involved look bad—which is a shame. It sounded like it was going to be cool. Oh well.
Posted by Clive on May 20, 2004 at 10:26 AM (CDT)
I got there ealry knowing it was packed. It was the most disorganized event. When they did the raffles for the iPods you could barely hear the man over the speaker because there was a break dancing group in the back of the store. Everyone was using one table to promote their stuff. The free spray paint t-shirt was a disgrace. I only spotted two people from iskin only b/c they were wearing black shirts with iskin on it, and low rider jeans. I bet that got the men's attention. Next time iskin does something like this hold it at a bigger store like J&R. And have everything ready.
Posted by FabuTee in Bronx, NY on May 20, 2004 at 10:37 AM (CDT)
i'd say i agree that the party could have been organized better…but I thought i'd comment on the afterparty since no one else has…it was awesome
not only did we get free drinks and food, but me and my friends spent the whole time hanging out with some of the iskin and audible.com people and most importantly the founder of the ipodlounge…all of whom are just the coolest people…....
can't wait for the next nyc event

I was one of the lucky ones,My name was the third winner.I won a ,Belkim ipod survival kit ,wish it was worth $350 dollar. I was very happy,I think the plase was small but I had a good time.
Posted by Carlos CH. on May 22, 2004 at 11:38 AM (CDT)
Isn't it amazing how everyone wants to criticize first. I was at the launch, and thought it went quite well. First of all, someone is complaining about the size of the store. The store is HUGE and on 5th Avenue in New York. Did you expect them to take down their entire line of Plasma TV's, and computers, just to make room for a few people who wanted to get a free t-shirt, and NOT BUY ANYTHING! From what I can imagine, Datavision spent a great deal of money putting this thing together to help promote some Apple iPod accessories, as well as their store. If you thought the music was too loud, perhaps you could have said something. If you did not like how you had to wait to get in, complain to the fire marshall. It was not Datavision's fault they could not allow everyone in the store.
This also was the only store practically in the country that had iPod MINIS for sale that day.
Datavision is also the only retail store in the country selling the incredible Ultimate Ear headphones. They had an audiologist in the store molding your ears on the spot. That was a $40 value in itself, for FREE.
I just wish people would not complain so much. You did not spend a penny to get in the place, they had great products for you to see first hand, and had a giveaways.
How can you honestly complain about a 2 hour event, with live music, new gadgets, and about $7,000 worth of giveaways?!
I thought it was a well run event, and a treat for any iPod fan!
Posted by Ryan B on May 22, 2004 at 3:33 PM (CDT)
So you guys…......some of you sound like the party was alright but most of you weren't really impressed.
I have a question…......if there was another iSkin party…it all happened over again….what do you want it to be like? Which venue? What stuff do you wanna see? Bands? DJ's? Better give aways? Free downloads? Personalised iSkins? What?! What?! What?!
Let me know your thoughts. You never know…there might be more parties!!!!

By J.D. Morris
Last week, what used to be four different Irish pubs with four different names reopened under one moniker: Sean Patrick's.
Golden Gaming revealed that it was purchasing the pubs about a month ago. Since then, the company closed the properties while it made renovations and worked its way through the regulatory process.
State regulators gave final approval of a gaming license for the new brand on Sept. 25. Now, the former Molly Malones, Sean Patrick's, Morrissey's and Kavanaugh's are all called Sean Patrick's.
By Howard Stutz LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL Golden Gaming will add a fifth brand to its Nevada tavern business by purchasing four Irish pub-themed locations in Southern Nevada.
The Las Vegas-based company, the state's largest tavern owner with 50 locations in Las Vegas and Reno, plans to reopen the four taverns under the Sean Patrick's brand Oct. 1 after a monthlong remodeling.
Consider the ram, and its significance in the life of Blake Sartini.
Slot route operator Golden Gaming of Las Vegas last week acquired the northern Nevada route operations of Strategic Gaming Management.
Golden adds 870 slot machines in 118 locations and approximately 70 employees with the acquisition, which takes effect Jan. 1. Terms of the acquisition weren't disclosed. With the deal, Golden Route Operations, a subsidiary of Golden Gaming, controls nearly 8,000 slot machines in 700 locations throughout the state and has just under 2,300 employees.
Blake Sartini believes in expansion, not only in the number of taverns his company runs but in the scope of their demographics
Seated in his Golden Gaming headquarters, wearing blue jeans and a simple button-down shirt, Blake Sartini is extolling the virtues of growth. This is one of his favorite subjects.
Growth, development, expansion — all are ways to map success, chart fulfillment, and validate his business and personal decisions.
Golden Gaming's PT's and Sierra Gold taverns are announcing a marketing agreement today with the Hard Rock Hotel where customers of the Southern Nevada locations can use their loyalty points for deals at the off-Strip hotel-casino.
The partnership is the first of its kind between a traditional tavern operator — which operates a maximum of 15 slot machines per location — and a hotel-casino property.

The head of the Cairo International Film Festival, Hussein Fahmi, has rejected the application of the Egyptian actress Nabila Ebeid to participate in the October 9-23 event with her latest film Qasaqis Al Ushaq (Lovers Clippers), according to the Qatari daily Al Raya.
Fahmi, who appears in the film, said he made the decision based on a previous bad experience.
He said he was savaged by the press for participating in the 22nd festival he headed in 1998 with the film Ekhtifaa Jaafar Al Masri. Fahmi costarred in the film along with Noor Al Sharif and Raghda.

Scientists scan mud for hurricane patterns
To find out what makes a hurricane tick, you have to fly through it. To find out how often hurricanes strike land, you need to dig for them.
As more condos, office towers, and housing tracts spring up in cities along America's East and Gulf coasts, researchers are scanning mud they bring up from coastal marshes and ponds for clues about the history of major hurricanes.
The approach is relatively new, scientists say. With it, they hope to give residents, emergency planners, building and zoning boards, and insurers a better handle on the risk densely populated areas face from these storms. When combined with other emerging techniques, these "paleo-tempestologists" add, information they glean might help determine whether global warming could generate more- frequent or more-intense storms.
"The motivation is to extend the historical record" for major hurricanes, says Richard Murnane, who heads the Risk Prediction Initiative at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research.
The insurance industry is interested in the most intense storms, he says, but these are rare. Only three Category 5 storms - the most destructive - have hit the US in the past century. The latest was Hurricane Andrew, which struck Florida and Louisiana in 1992, killing 23 people and causing $26.5 billion in damage.
The potential of mud coring became apparent in 1993, when Kam-biu Liu and Miriam Fearn at Louisiana State University showed that paleo-hurricanes left their mark as sand layers in mud cores taken from the bottom of coastal lakes along the Gulf. But could the technique work for hurricanes along the East Coast?
"Initially, I was somewhat dubious," says Jeff Donnelly, a geologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He had spotted sand layers in mud cores he pulled from coastal marshes to study effects of changing sea levels on ancient ecosystems. The marshes sat behind barrier beaches, which can be overswept by tidal surges during storms. The surges drive sand into the marshes. But when powerful nor'easters clobber the East Coast they can generate surges of their own. Telling the two apart might be tough.

About Antoine Laurent Lavoisier
Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (also Antoine Lavoisier after the French Revolution); 26 August 1743 – 8 May 1794), the "father of modern chemistry", was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry and biology. He named both oxygen (1778) and hydrogen (1783) and helped construct the metric system, put together the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature. He was also the first to establish that sulfur was an element (1777) rather than a compound. He discovered that, although matter may change its form or shape, its mass always remains the same.
He was an administrator of the "Ferme Générale" and a powerful member of a number of other aristocratic councils. All of these political and economic activities enabled him to fund his scientific research. At the height of the French Revolution, he was accused by Jean-Paul Marat of selling watered-down tobacco, and of other crimes and was eventually guillotined a year after Marat's death. Benjamin Franklin was familiar with Antoine, as they were both members of the "Benjamin Franklin inquiries" into Mesmer and animal magnetism.

- Zooey Deschanel in J.Mendel: "It was the first one I saw on the rack and it was perfect," said Deschanel of the dress. As for her jewels? Her Chanel ring was "the size of a planet," said host Ryan Seacrest.
- Keirnan Shipka in Delpozo: The Mad Men star stunned in NYFW favorite, Delpozo. Not too young, but not too old, it worked perfectly for the actress.
- Taylor Schilling in Thakoon: "I mean, whoa!" said the actress of the custom made Thakoon dress. We must agree! The saucy silhouette was a match made in fashion heaven.
- Robin Wright in Ralph Lauren:As I predicted, the actress who was nominated in the Drama Series Lead Actress category for her role in House of Cards wore black, but skipped my recommendation for an added bit of color. Either way, she killed it in the Ralph Lauren Collection black silk cady evening dress.
- Mindy Kaling in Edition by Georges Chakra: Were there ever a color more fitting for Mindy than Garnet red? The beauty furthers our girl crush in this dress while carrying a Jerome C. Rousseau "Jem" clutch
- Lena Dunham in Prada: She revealed, "It feels wild to be in this place with all these people you admire. Last time it felt like I was just urinating!" Then she had the most amazing girlfriend moment with fellow actress Claire Danes.
- Claire Danes in Armani Prive: The Homeland star confirmed her hair was indeed a faux bob in flesh-toned deep V-neck dress. She also mentioned that she totally hopped on the Scandal train at the behest of gal pal, Lena Dunham.
- Kerry Washington in Marchesa: In a blush empire waist gown with gold metallic lace bralet and blush tulle skirt, the Scandal star continued her conversation-sparking red carpet streak.
- Connie Britton in Naeem Khan: It was a velvet aqua and gold Naeem Khan for the Nashville actress. "Let me just say my jewelry is worth more than I am," added the star on the red carpet.
- Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang: She showed up with 20 people and looked stunning in a Vera Wang gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. As Guiliana Rancic said, her dress had the hardest job on the red carpet —"keeping all that sexy in."
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Monique Lhuillier: The Veep star photo-bombed the mani-cam in Monique Luhiller with simple Martin Katz and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. Later, she accepted her Emmy for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
- Rose Byrne in Calvin Klein Collection: She made baby pink look both sexy and girly in the ab-baring dress. Are you a fan of the trendy red carpet color?
- Michelle Dockery in Prada: Two colors made for twice the fun on the Emmy's red carpet. Her big red bow channeled both Emma Stone and Nicole Kidman, but we'll allow it.
- Edie Falco: To say the Nurse Jackie actress was a vision in blue would be an understatement. Can we have what ever magical anti-aging position she's taking?
- Vera Farmiga in Theyskens' Theory: Voluminous black was the Bates Motel actresses' choice. Too much or just right?
- Jessica Lange: Hubba hubba! This actress proves that wearing sleeves on the red carpet can read as both sexy and age-appropriate
As expected, television's biggest night, a.k.a. the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards, brought us the best and brightest in red carpet fashion. Check out our picks for best dressed, vote, and then sound off in the comments!

A sign that the Twitter apocalypse is upon us
May 1st
Twitter mania has become hysterical. And I do mean FUNNY! : )
Today I learned of a new site called Twtjobs where job seekers can create a "Twitter Resume." For the uninitiated, Twitter is a micro-blog limited to 140 characters. My friends, how do you post a meaningful resume in 140 characters? To demonstrate, gentle reader, I became your guinea pig. I'm not looking for a job, but I am always looking for new opportunities, so above is your first glimpse of a Twitter resume. Perhaps your last, too.
More comic relief — In the drop down field for "experience," the upper limit is five years! I guess they think nobody over 30 is looking for a job, or perhaps their target demographic under 30 is the only group thinking a 140-character resume is a good idea.
So after I posted, what happened? Nothing. I don't know where it went. I don't know who read it, or if anybody read it. Are there elf-like recruiters out their looking through these 140-character resumes?
By the way, if you Google Twtjobs, Google will try to correct you by asking, "did you mean titjobs?" (gasp) I guess this is an accurate comment … Both sites are looking for boobs. : )

we don't sound like a whisper.The sun never sets over the water, but you still take me there whenever dusk comes to meet the horizon. We sit out on the rocks with me tucked tight against your chest, while you count stars like other people count blessings, but we're only half lucky with all these city lights ruining your chances. I know you're tired, love, but I'm terrified. I'm running out of ways to stop myself from telling you I miss you because twenty four hours isn't a long time to be separated and I'm really just more afraid of what you're doing when I'm not there -- and of what you're thinking when I am. I've been burnt enough times before to learn that loving with only half your heart will save you from the fire, but I know that's not what I'm doing here. I don't want you to be a mistake worth making.

The girl didn't get the guyShe asked me in class today why I was upset. Again. She didn't say it, but what she really meant was, 'why is there a loud, angry song blaring from your headphones and why are you giving off this creepy, vexed vibe?'She need only look in a mirror to figure it out.She told another story today about how she'd showed you a pair of sunglasses. You'd said they looked kind of dorky. As she spoke, she laughed. She unfolded the sunglasses and showed the rest of us. Then she folded them up and hooked them on her shirt, next to her heart.I almost went insane.Every time I sit here and listen to her go on about you I go insane. I'm not exaggerating, honestly. I feel my face get tight and rigid, and my eyes get empty, and my mouth pulls downward. But that's nothing compared to what happens to my insides. The other day, when she told us about how you'd looked at her oh, no I had to get up and leave class.I took my time walking down the hall, past the French class, hands sha

The Hornby hook comes early in A Long Way Down. Disgraced talk show host Martin Sharp (Pierce Brosnan) introduces himself while preparing for his New Year's Eve leap from a London high-rise known as Topper House. A long climb up and a long cigar lit, Martin is on the edge when he's interrupted in quick succession by the timid Maureen (Toni Collette), a frantic Jess (Imogen Poots), and the withdrawn J.J. (Aaron Paul). With this meet-cute of thwarted suicide, author Nick Hornby (About a Boy) establishes a tone of sentimental black humor, and director Pascal Chaumeil (Heartbreaker) orchestrates the encounter as the formation of rag-tag band where each player gets a stirring solo number in voiceovers that echo the novel's alternating first person narrative.
All jittery bravado as a Tory politician's impulsive daughter, Poots is a lively counterpoint to Brosnan's smug discontent. Paul's American musician has a quiet intensity, but he's been stripped of a backstory and the ability to articulate his pain. (Collette and Poots sing, but Paul doesn't perform.)
The group's surprising anchor is Maureen, the single mother of an adult son with cerebral palsy; her fierce love and stifling isolation are contained by careful routine. Collette wears that armor, and cracks it, to devastating effect. In a wintry London that's sometimes snowy and always chilly, this unlikely quartet becomes a tabloid sensation, with Maureen's guileless resilience guiding them from public joke to private happiness with an ease that Hornby eschews and feel-good movies demand.
