Noted screenwriter and producer Alex Kurtzman is set to make his directorial debut with Welcome to People. The film is being produced by a man who, despite his influence in the industry, is not well known outside of Hollywood: director Steven Spielberg. Kurtzman first worked for Spielberg on his production of Transformers. While he has gone on to produce various TV shows, including "Fringe" and CBS's upcoming remake of "Hawaii Five-0," the director's chair has alluded him until now.
Welcome to People tells the story of a man whose estranged father dies, leaving instructions for his son to deliver $150,000 to a sister he never knew existed. The man wants to keep the money for himself, but can't help but investigate his long-lost sibling.
When my dad passed away, he left me $150 and stipulated that I should deliver it personally to my estranged second cousin while she was working at The Box Office, a gentlemen's club in the next town over. Well, he didn't really stimpulate it so much as he implied it by not specifically saying that I shouldn't. I miss you, dad. (Collider)
If you watch "Mad Men" then you know how the previews for the following weeks' episodes are pure bullsh*t. All we get are cryptic phrases and the occasional highball glass smashed over dramatic music. John Duffy decided to edit a few "On the Next Mad Men" previews of his own using footage from familiar TV shows and movies. The "Always Sunny in Philadelphia" one above definitely has me intrigued. How will Charlie slap Dee's face off of her face?! Check out more of John's previews here. (BuzzFeed)
Screenwriters Stephen J. Rivele and Chris Wilkinson have been hired to write the Tupac Shakur biopic, and they promise that their approach "is not in any way biopic-y." The original draft written by Steven Bagatourian was gonna get all up in 2Pac's bidness by laying out facts documentary style. But Wilkinson says that approach was skeet and their script will center on the last day of Tupac's life, using flashbacks to show the final four years of thugness leading up to it. Don't quote him on that exact wording. I added some flava. Rivele spit this flow for Vulture:
"This is the story of an artist whose character is at odds with his medium," explains Rivele, "He was a really sensitive, very romantic, talented young poet who also could sing, dance, and act. But the realities [of the hip-hop record business] were that he had to create this persona of the gangster."
Sounds like me in high school. Turns out starring as the lead in South Pacific doesn't command the respect you'd think it would. But wrap a bandana around your head and shoot the janitor, suddenly everyone's afraid of you. Antoine Fuqua is set to direct the Tupac biopic, and is currently searching for an unknown actor to play the late-rapper. I suggest he consider casting Tupac himself since we all know he's alive and well living out the rest of his days in suburbia tending to his tomato garden.
Patrick Fabian is a face you've seen on TV many times before but never took the time to find out who he is on imdb. This week, the long time…
This comes from a gossip site, so take it for what it's worth, but Brad Pitt is supposedly in talks to star in a film adaptation of the groundbreaking videogame, Red Dead Redemption.
Published by Rockstar Games, the same company behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise, RDR tells the story of John Marston, a former outlaw who can't escape his past during the final days of the Old West. Supposedly, Pitt has been given the right of first refusal for the Marston role.
Hopefully this rumor turns out to be true. Hollywood is already putting money behind crap like Battleship, so why not develop a film around Red Dead. The game has a solid plot and more interesting characters than half the films I've seen this year, so the heavy lifting is done. And if it works out, maybe someone will finally make a movie based on my favorite videogame of all time, Avoid the Noid. (Cinemablend)
Too easy.
Did you like the Karate Kid remake? Did you like Kung Fu Panda? Then you're going to love the Karate Kid sequel. Why? Because you're obviously ten-years old and you'll like anything they put in front of you. I'll tell you who "they" are when you're older.
But you'll also like the Karate Kid sequel because the screenwriters for Kung Fu Panda, Cyrus Voris and Ethan Reiff, have been hired to write the script. Of course, by the time the film comes out in 2013, you'll have already hit puberty, which means maybe you'll have grown out of children's movies. But if you're anything like me, you'll retreat back to your childhood once Cindy Johnson rejects you in front of the entire biology class and makes you the laughing stock of the whole school.

Albert Brooks isn't exactly considered a bad-ass. Finding Nemo and Defending Your Life don't usually strike fear into the hearts of men. Aside from his cameo as a supervillain on "The Simpsons," he usually plays a mild-mannered guy…until now.
Behold, Albert Brooks 2.0. Now the famed comedian is 90% more menacing thanks to his upcoming role in Drive, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. In the film, Brooks will play a New York mobster named Bernie Rose who moves to L.A. to kick ass and take names. The film also stars Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan and Bryan Cranston, who has turned into a bit of a bad-ass himself thanks to "Breaking Bad."
Now that Brooks has gone tough guy, can fellow comedian and neurotic Jew Richard Lewis be far behind? Only time will tell. (Deadline)

The final season of "Lost" was probably one of the most anticipated seasons of a TV show of all time. Each episode was fiercely debated and often maligned for either not answering enough or providing unsatisfactory answers. Regardless of how you felt about this last season, I think we can all agree that "Lost" is fairly unique among television and helped reintroduce sci-fi back into mainstream primetime (which might be a bad thing. Looking at you "Threshhold," "Invasion," "Flashforward," "V," etc).

Channing Tatum is organizing (producing) a fictional high school reunion for himself and few of his closest friends. Ten Years is an ensemble drama about classmates chumming it up again a decade after their graduation. It'll be like The Big Chill, except they'll dance to "Lady Marmalade" instead of "Heard It Through The Grapevine."
Tatum is already sending out his Save the Dates to several actors he'd like to attend. Tatum's wife, Jenna Dewan ("Step Up"), Anna Faris, Chris Pratt ("Parks and Rec"), Chris Pine and Scott Porter ("Friday Night Lights") should all be expecting theirs from their agents soon. They can either respond or just ignore Channing entirely. He'll find some other friends who like him for him and not the man he used to be or was hoping to become. (THR)
(Above) Jeremy Renner's First Solo Album: Can I Borrow a Feeling
The Hurt Locker's Jeremy Renner will co-star with Tom Cruise in the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Deadline is reporting. Yesterday it was rumored that Paramount was in search of a younger actor to join the film with the hope that he could take over the staring role once Cruise steps aside. But the studio ultimately decided on the 41-year-old Renner, who they felt had a "Daniel Craig quality."
While Renner is a great actor, I really don't understand the logic behind bringing him in. After Knight and Day bombed, it was reported that Paramount wanted a star to help compensate for Cruise's waning box-office appeal. Is Renner the man for that job? If you really want this thing to be a hit, you need to cast Taylor Lautner or maybe The Situation. That's how you get asses in the seats, damn it.
Sorry all you Fart Face fans, but the man behind the character you love so dearly is packing his fart face up and traveling on. Will Forte will not return to "Saturday Night Live" for the show's 36th season. Neither NBC nor Forte's people would offer a P.C. response as to why, but apparently the split is "amicable," like they always are according to lawyers.
The actor is now free to pursue other projects that aren't on Saturday night or live. The question is, can he remain relevant in movies for long if he's not continuely exposed to fans on "SNL"? MacGruber didn't do him any favors. I think Forte's a funny guy and all, but he's not exactly a household name like Will Ferrell was when he decided to jump Lorne Michael's ship. Unless your household is particularly fond of twisted, weird-ass sketches. In which case, your family should have dinner together more often. (Movieline)
Len Lesser (Left) | Kim Kardashian (Right)
Just when you thought Kim Kardashian couldn't sink any lower, she goes on Facebook and harasses an 87-year-old man. And not just any 87-year old. We're talking about Len Lesser, the guy who played Uncle Leo on "Seinfeld!"
Len Lesser called Burbank police last night after receiving a slew of calls from people who kept asking, "Are you Uncle Leo?" The 87-year-old couldn't take it anymore so cops came to his house.
While at Lesser's home, an officer intercepted one of the calls and asked where the caller had found the number. As it turns out, someone posing as Kim Kardashian on Facebook posted the information, not the reality/porn star herself. However, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw Kardashain in jail until the whole thing gets sorted out, just in case.
In the meantime, Lesser should start answering his phone with "Vandelay Industries" in order to throw the callers off his trail. (TMZ)
Steve Carell is on the search for a boyfriend for his wife in A Boyfriend for My Wife. Judging by the title, you'd think it was for your wife, but it's not. He's got no G.D. business interferring with your marriage.
The film is a remake of 2008 Argentine comedy Un novio para mi mujer, in which "a timid husband believes the only way out of his stifling marriage is to get his wife to fall in love with another man, so he enlists the help of a legendary yet unlikely Lothario." It seems that the more interesting role is the one that Carell will not be playing. The casting of the Lothario character could make or break this idea. I wouldn't worry too much though. They got the guys who wrote Snow Dogs to adapt the script, and we all know what that fresh take on snow dog films did for Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career…………………………………………………………………………………. (Variety)
There are some actors and actresses who should have pulled the plug on their careers years ago, but they have instead continued to Chuck Liddell us (that's a reference to an MMA fighter who won't retire, if you're not into the octagon) with the same boring, uninspired appearances in the latest schlock that they are getting paid to sleepwalk through. But let's also not forget the directors out there that keep doing the same to us. There's a horde of filmmakers who used to be pretty damn good or at least did a couple of good films early on in their careers, but who now only turn out movies that make us want to resort to Weekend at Bernie's II again and again. There are many offenders, but for now we'll look at ten who should hang up their directing beret.
While Peter Jackson is confident that the legal squabble between Warner Bros. and MGM over The Hobbit will be resolved "sometime soon," the Lord of the Rings prequel may not be his primary concern.
During an interview with New Zealand's Dominion Post, the acclaimed director discussed plans for his long-awaited ANZAC project, which would depict the exploits of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during World War I. Jackson hopes to complete the project before the 100th anniversary of the disastrous Battle of Gallipoli in 2015.
"It was doomed because while the Australians charged the Nek from below, the New Zealanders, who were supposed to simultaneously attack from above, didn't show up. But that's another story, and one I'd love to make as the 100th anniversary gets closer."
While the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli is an important milestone, let's not forget that the eleventy-billionth anniversary of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is also approaching. Allowing The Hobbit to languish in legal limbo spits on the memory of all those who gave their lives fighting Sauron and his evil minions. Shame on you, Peter Jackson. (Empire Online)

Marvel Studios has given the green light to an adaptation of the "Iron Fist" comic series, and has hired Rich Wilkes to write the script, Deadline is reporting. Wilkes is best known for penning the script to XXX, which went on to make Vin Diesel a household name in households that like to talk about stupid crap. The move seems to indicate that Disney is following through on its promise to develop more obscure characters from the Marvel library.
The Iron Fist character was created in the 1970s during the height of the martial arts film craze. And as you'd expect from the name, this character received his special powers by plunging his clenched hand into a foreign body. But unlike most fisters, the body belonged to a dragon, not a strung-out wannabe actress from Cincinnati.
And the winner is…
"I feel like we have something in common because we're both blind."
The winner will receive a 3-month subscription from Netflix!

Michael Bay is calling bullsh*t on all of the following: TMZ reported yesterday that two men claimed they "got into a scuffle with a man they claim is Bay's private security guard" on August 24, 2008. (Yes, that's two years ago and they're just having a problem with it now) They were tossed out of a nightclub, at which time Bay's drunk security guard pistol whipped the living crap out of them, breaking teeth and bones, before fleeing the scene. Bay took time out from his busy kabooming schedule on Transformers 3 to set the record straight on his website. Check out Bay's response after the jump…
Rob Thomas, Jon Enborn, and Dan Etheridge, the creators of the intelligent and hilarious, so of course now cancelled, "Party Down" have sold a pilot to NBC. "Temps" will focus on a group of recent college graduates who are forced to take a variety of oddball temp jobs to make ends meet. It will be single-cam like "Party Down" and "Community" (shows you love), not multi-cam like "Big Bang Theory" and "According to Jim" (shows your grandma loves).
Thomas is also currently working on an outline for a show at Showtime. He told TV Squad, "Right now it's simply 'Untitled Rob Thomas Spy Show. It's set in the world of corporate espionage." That project is supposed to be dark though, not funny. At least not "Ha ha" funny. "Temps" better be ROTFLMAO funny, that is if NBC makes the pilot, the pilot tests well, they pick it up to series, it airs, and people watch it so it continues airing. Tell your Nana we need her support.
And I looked, and behold a pale cat: and his name that sat on him was Death.
Are you an aspiring screenwriter who's been trying to sell your story for years? Well this cat that lives in a nursing home beat you to the punch. How does that make you feel?
Oscar, the so-called "Death-Predicting" Cat, made waves back in 2007 when his story was published in the New England journal of medicine. Now, screenwriters Stephen Lindsey and Luis Ugaz are hoping to translate Oscar's horrifying story into box-office gold, and maybe a non-cat Oscar.
For those of you unfamiliar with the demonic feline, Oscar is a "therapy cat" who has accurately predicted the deaths of over fifty patients. The normally skittish animal regularly curls up beside patients who are near death and waits with them until they expire. What makes the story even more disturbing is the fact that Oscar was able to predict the deaths of patients who were considered healthy by the nursing staff.
Back in the day, if people caught wind of a cat that was clearly in league with Lucifer and his minions they would have put it in a sack and thrown it off a bridge. Today, we give it a movie. You call that progress? (Cinematical)
"Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?"
HBO has released a behind the scenes look at their highly anticipated new drama "Boardwalk Empire." The show is executive produced by Terence Winter ("The Sopranos") and Martin Scorsese, who also directed the pilot. Steve Buscemi plays the undisputed ruler of Atlantic City and town Treasurer, Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, who is described as "a political fixer and backroom dealer who is equal parts politician and gangster and equally comfortable in either role."
Cutting to the chase, it's going to be some old school gangsta sh*t from the mind of a "Soprano's" writer and Scorsese. We've all been waiting for the next compelling drama from HBO (if you're a girl, I know you think that's "True Blood," but it isn't), and I have no doubt that "Boardwalk Empire" will make our Sunday nights a little less depressing. Then the next morning you can go into the office and give your boss the high hat and Charleston your way out of that joint.

Thanks to author William Peter Blatty and the creative team that brought his novel to the big screen, The Exorcist brought the ritual of exorcism (and projectile vomiting) into pop culture glory. Since then, we've seen quite a few movies about demon possession, and on Friday, we'll see the latest – The Last Exorcism.
Forgive my cynicism, but I kind of doubt that it will be the last. After all, even after The Exorcist III, Morgan Creek Productions still felt it was a viable franchise and made not one, but two movies, almost exactly alike, with the same actor, as prequels to the original.
With that in mind, we created a little board game that you can play when you see The Last Exorcism, but, it'll be dark in the theater, so bring plenty of flashlights.
Good news for people who like Adam Sandler comedies (you know who you are). Katie Holmes and Al Pacino are in talks to join Sandler's new film, Jack and Jill.
Considering that their film credits include The Godfather, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Batman Begins, Holmes and Pacino make an impressive pair. But not nearly as impressive as the pair Sandler has lined up to write and direct the film, Steven Koren and Dennis Dugan. Their film credits include such classics as Evan Almighty, Grown Ups, and You Don't Mess with the Zohan. Holy crap!
What the hell happened to Adam Sandler's movies? Back in 1995, I remember watching Happy Gilmore after school and laughing my ass off. But now, fifteen years later, it seems like all of his projects are geared toward 12-year olds. What changed? I can't wrap my head around it. (/Film)
Grindhouse has already been responsible for two spin-off films: Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun. Now Eli Roth has confirmed that he will bring that total to three with a full-length adaptation of his Grindhouse trailer, Thanksgiving.
I've been working on the script with my co-writer, Jeff Rendell, who plays the pilgrim in the trailer. And it's me imitating Jeff's voice [for the narration]. But Jeff has been working. I said that his deal is he has to work on the script while I'm promoting The Last Exorcism, and as soon as I'm done in mid-September he's going to fly to California, we're going to sit down, and bang out the script.
I guess it shouldn't be surprising that most of these trailers are being turned into features. Hollywood is already scraping the bottom of the barrel with adaptations of friggen boardgames. Thanksgiving looks like Citizen Kane in comparison. (Cinema Blend)

Fox Searchlight has dropped the trailer for Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. James Franco stars as Aron Ralston, the climber who amputated his own arm after bring trapped between rocks for almost five days. It's one of those feel good movies. At least the parts with Kata Mara.
Simon Beaufoy, who also worked with Boyle on Slumdog Millionaire, wrote the screenplay, and has said that there is no dialogue for an entire hour of the story. Psssshhhh, nice job "writing," Simon. Can we get serious for a second though? I'm excited to see this film. I love the energy and unique storytelling of Slumdog, and I hope 127 Hours brings the same entertainment value without inducing too many cringes. Crushed appendages are just plain yucky. But fortitude in dire straits is yummy.

Understanding the Permanent Military Professor Program
Posted on: September 17, 2013 08:00 EDT by MC3 Jonathan Correa
The Permanent Military Professor program is designed to establish military officers with both doctoral degrees and operational experience in permanent instructor billets at military academies until statutory retirement or until released from active duty.
PMP is used to strengthen military instructor presence at naval institutions and provide students with an understanding on how what they are learning in the classroom will be applied later in the fleet.
"The PMP program takes warfare-qualified officers selected for commander and allows them to become a permanent instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy, War College and Post Naval Grad School," said Cmdr. William Swick, professor of oceanography.
Swick added that after being selected, commanders are sent back to school to complete their Ph.D and dissertation.
The PMP community comes with a 1230 designator, its own Naval manpower and personnel classification, and its own competitive promotion category.
"The agreement when you join the program is that you are going to be a PMP at the institute you are assigned to until your statutory retirement," said Capt. William Schulz, chair of the Oceanography department at the U.S. Naval Academy.
Statutory retirement is determined by rank and indicates the maximum number of years military personnel can serve before being required to retire.
One benefit of the PMP program is that it allows officers to further in their research in their area of study – and pass that knowledge on to their students.
"I like to teach." said Swick. "I enjoy the academics and the research side of it. It fits my personality and I think it is an important job because you can influence future naval officers."
"You never really know if you understand a subject until you teach it," said Schulz. "Having the opportunity to come here and actually see if you understand well enough to explain it to somebody, to see the light bulb come on in their head, that is the thrill of doing this."
Through this program officers are able to dig deeper into their research and develop stronger professional relationships with others in their field.
"We are now able to start long term projects that may take two or three years to complete." Schulz said. "You can also see a midshipman enter in on Induction Day and watch them graduate four years later."

Pinnacle High School's boys basketball team clinched the regular season title for the Utah School Sports Alliance last Thursday by beating Teslo 59-47.
The PHS team trailed for one of the few times in the season at halftime 19-17 as they shot only 26 percent.
Blake Najera led the team with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Stewy Jones had 15 points and seven assists. Carson Franklin had nine points and eight boards and Austin Welch also had a strong game.
USSA is a small school league that includes private and religious schools, alternative schools and charter schools.
The teams last regular season game is against Paradym on Friday.

So all that talk about fall weather has finally come true as the weather has gotten a bit colder and we are in the clouds. I was very happy to see college football in full swing and the NFL. I would hard pressed not to mention the crazy weekend that was in Seattle sports as well. Friday I was in Century Link myself for the Sounders FC match in which the Sounders went to the top of the table as we say in soccer which means first place in the whole MLS. First place is a nice fit for the boys in green. Friday night the place was rocking but that was just a warm up as on Sunday 70,000 packed into the stadium for the match up of the week in the NFL and your Seattle Seahawks put in work and kicked the crap out of the San Francisco 49ers. I am not a Seahawks fan but that was a impressive win and the way the Redskins look right now I am not really worried about them having to play the Seahawks in the Playoffs because I don't think they are going to make the post-season. The Seahawks on the other hand should make the playoffs and I don't see why they can't win a super bowl this year they way they are going. It was nice to throw on the hoodie for the game. I always say I like fall and this one looks like a exciting one here in Seattle

With early muzzleloader season open and the regular season opener set for Saturday, the signs of deer hunters abound in the form of vehicles parked at roadside and in fields, camouflage-clad individuals, all-terrain vehicles in the backs of pickups, cars parked in front of local gun shops, buck photos in the newspapers, postings on social media and more.
Yes, deer season affects the lives of sportsmen and women more than any other activity on the sporting calendar.
While the reasons for hunting vary among individuals, todays column offers a dozen reasons why hunters avidly take to the whitetail woods.
The most tangible explanation for hunting deer is venison. This meat is tasty, nutritious, and healthful. There is something special about providing for oneself instead of heading to the grocery store. Since the majority of licensed hunters fail to fill their tags each season, other motivations must exist for the allure of deer season.
In reality, immersion in nature is the primary attraction of deer hunting. Modern society has eliminated much of humankinds contact with the natural world, but hunting allows people to venture into that world where they are greeted with beautiful scenery and where they are one with all kinds of weather.
Hunters also spend a lot of time viewing wildlife in its natural setting. When engaged in hunting, an individual is more than an observer of nature. He or she becomes an active participant in the natural world.
Hunters, too, are fascinated by the deer itself. The whitetail is one of natures most awesome animals, and hunters are drawn to observing deer in their natural habitat, to learning about their seasonal behaviors, and to witnessing their incredible senses and athleticism.
Some people hunt for fun and recreation. These individuals find enjoyment in their activity just as others take pleasure in reading, woodworking, gardening, kayaking or whatever.
Hunting also offers a spiritual benefit for many hunters. In the solitude of the woods, an individual can take the time to ponder questions about his existence, his relationships, and his purpose in the world.
In truth, hunting is an activity that allows for reflection. And like R. W. Emerson or H. D. Thoreau, numerous hunters experience a spiritual connection with the natural world and its creator.
Some people find rejuvenation and renewal in their outdoors experiences. Im reminded of a wife who once commented to me about her husbands solo ventures into the Adirondack Mountains. I dont know what happens up there, but when he returns home, he comes back a better person. Who could ask for more?
Human beings also hunt to fulfill their predatory nature. Created with eyes in the front and incisor teeth, humans are predators with hunting instincts. Like hawks, coyotes, and other predators, hunters fulfill their nature when pursuing their quarry.
There is also the anticipation of the hunt and the thrill that occurs when a deer magically appears on the landscape. The heart rate beats faster, breaths become more rapid, blood rushes to the head and limbs might even begin to tremble. At such moments, the challenge for the hunter is to calm the rush.
Fellowship also draws individuals to the hunt. Being part of a group that works toward a common goal can result in a special camaraderie for friends and family members. Groups often consist of two or three generations of hunters who form special bonds when sharing their common pursuit.
Like fellowship, camp life holds a special attraction for some people. Such people are drawn to the simple pleasures of peace and quiet, the warmth of a wood fire, evening cocktails, a hearty meal, storytelling, and a warm sleeping bag.
Individuals also enjoy the exercise component of the hunt. Many hunters do more walking and climbing during the several-week-long deer season than they do during the rest of the year.
Hours in the woods make for a fulfilling day of fresh air and active use of the major muscle groups. Such exercise is good for the mind, body and soul.
A 12th reason for deer hunting is escape or diversion. Todays lives follow a hectic pace, and the woods offer an escape from the routines, responsibilities and stresses of everyday existence. In the woods, an individual finds temporary tranquility.
There are additional reasons for hunting, and only the individual hunter knows what factors draw him or her to the whitetail woods each autumn. While the non-hunter might not share the predatory instinct of hunters, he can certainly identify with the allure of nature, spirituality, fun, rejuvenation, fellowship, exercise and escape.
Outdoors Calendar
Saturday: Regular deer season opens in Northern Zone.

Primary : KDE
Secondary : WindowMaker
Primary = WindowMaker
Secondary = KDE 3
Use to be fluxbox, but WM is so nice to me, I can make it look just how I like it.
I love having a choice.
Primary : KDE
Secondary : WindowMaker
KDE 3 is like a billion times smoother and cleaner than 2.2.2 which was their previous release which wasn't horrible, but not as clean as it could be. I switched pretty much over to fluxbox and Ximian, but KDE3 stole my heart back. I like KDE for stronger systems that have the testicular fortitude to handle all the pretty grafix, and fluxbox for wussy systems that really need me to save on RAM and CPU cycles.Ximian Gnome. It seems like everyone here likes KDE3. Is it really that good?
As far as I am concerned, there is not one WM that sucks (well twm may fall into that category....). I just have a few preferences. I like Aftterstep and WindowMaker and Blackbox (hence why fluxbox became a consideration). But KDE is just a tad bit prettier for my tastes.
I used fluxbox for about a month. I'm trying out waimea right now.
Thats a fork of blackbox, right?I used fluxbox for about a month. I'm trying out waimea right now.
Yup. waimea
Thats a fork of blackbox, right?

On Wednesday, North Country Girls Golf participated in an 18 hole tournament at Lang Farm of Essex, with ten schools represented. Essex took first place in the event. The Falcons placed seventh, with scores of 111 from Tanika Demers and 99 from Paige Gagnon. Lang Farm has twelve par three holes, and as golfers know, par threes are the least forgiving. Paige parred three of them. The last tournament before next week's States is this Friday at Jay Peak.
Here are the latest updates for this past week's cancellations.
North Country vs. Middlebury baseball/softball, 5/29/13 at 4:30
North Country vs. St. Johnsbury baseball/softball, 6/1/13 at TBA
Lake Region vs. Winooski baseball/softball, 5/31/13 at 4:30
NEWPORT–Fans of the North Country girls hockey team who expected to see the team make another run at the Division II state title will have to adjust their plans, as the Falcons will not be in the running in DII.
They will be in Division I.
North Country coach Claude Paul confirmed the decision on Wednesday when we spoke at the track meet.
To say Paul was less than thrilled is an understatement, although he didn't have time for a quote.
Harwood and Rutland will also be making the jump to DI, while Hartford and Burr & Burton are heading down to DII.
NEWPORT–North Country and Lake Region, along with Spaulding and Enosburg, got together on Wednesday afternoon for the third and final track and field meet at North Country Union High School.
The meet served as a showcase for some of the finer local talent that is currently competing on the track and in the field.
To read about these athletes and for results, see the Express on Friday 5-24-13.
LYNDON-After three innings of Tuesday's Lyndon-Lake Region high school softball game, it looked like the Vikings would easily cruise to their 12th victory of the season.
By the 7th inning, that outcome wasn't quite so obvious.
After falling behind 6-0 after the first three innings, a scrappy Lake Region club scratched and clawed their way back to within a 9-5 deficit, and had loaded the bases with the tying run at the plate in the 7th, before finally succumbing to their powerful D2 foes in Lyndon.
For the full story, see the Express on Thursday 5-23-13.
NEWPORT–The North Country Falcons were in action on Monday afternoon, hosting the Spaulding Crimson Tide in a match that had play-off implications.
Knowing that if they could pull out a win they would greatly increase their chances of securing a spot in the post-season, North Country went out, and on the strength of their singles play, won the match 4-3.North Country, originally slated to play on Tuesday at Harwood, will now play Wednesday, wrapping up their regular season.
For the full story, see the Express on 5-22-13.
NEWPORT-Weather halted play early in the NCU-BFA girls tennis match on Wednesday.
The official scoring of the match has not been made available as of this time.
NEWPORT–North Country Athletic Director Mike Kiser has reported that the North Country boys hockey team will play two games at the Pat Burns Memorial Arena at Stanstead College this season.
The games are slated for December 6th and 7th 2013.
As of right now the Falcons' opponents have not been one hundred percent confirmed, but possible candidates include South Burlington and the Stanstead College junior varsity team.
Times for the games have not been released, but it looks like it could either be a Friday and Saturday night scenario, or a Friday night, Saturday afternoon schedule.
NEWPORT–The North Country Falcons played a much improved a game against Colchester on Tuesday, compared to their last outing against Milton, but they ran into a tough Laker pitching staff, led by starter Devon Dessormeau, who limited the Falcons to just one run on one hit and a walk in Colchester's 9-1 win.
Colchester is now 8-2 while North Country is 0-9.
The boys travel to take on Mte. Abe today, where Bryce Carter will make his first varsity start for North Country.
First pitch is at 4:30.
For the full story, see the Express on Thursday 5-16-13.
NEWPORT-Colchester hurler Emi Eakin was on her game, as she tossed a three hitter striking out 16 Falcons during her team's 12-0 blanking of NCU.
Eakin struck out the side in the first, fourth and sixth inning. North Country shortstop Anna Bingham had Eakin's number however as she pounded out a pair of hits and drew a walk in her other at bat.
NCU's sophomore catcher Victoria Kinney blasted the other Falcon hit hitting the ball in the gap between the center fielder and right fielder.

Beautful rung
I get lots of compliments on this rugRead More
color is great
I love the colors in this rug but the quality was very disappointing. I did keep it because it matched our sectional and it has held up so far.Read More
Pretty rug for a spare bedroom
Lovely main color of a sage-y green, with gold and beige flowers on the center field of the rug, and with colors, a border of more tan than cream or ivory. The rug is darker than appeared on Overstock site; I was expecting more of a teal /aqua background with an ivory border. It is machine made and synthetic fiber, with a low pile that has a slight sheen to it. It is for a spare bedroom, I did not expect more than that for this great price, and it will work great for that bedroom, especially since it was my first purchase for the room and I am not trying to match anything I already have. It is a very pretty rug, but not something I would put in a main room of my home. It does look very nice in the bedroom I purchased it for, and I am pleased, again, with Overstock.Read More
entry rug
Not a bad looking rug, but after all this time it still doesn't like to lay flat.Read More
Great rug
Perfect for what we were looking forRead More
Wrong Measurements
The color of the rug is spot on from the picture and the polypropelene has a nice hand to it. However, the measurements are off. The rug is actually 8'-2" by 10'-3".Read More
Happy with this purchase
Wasn't sure what to expect about how the rug would feel. It doesn't feel like a smooth silk rug, but it doesn't feel like a rough wool either. I have another rug that I love in my living room but it sheds a lot! I've had that for a couple years, and have only had this rug for a week and a half. Judging by the thickness and material it doesn't look like it will shed. I personally love it. Hope this helps.Read More
totally functional, great for the price
There were some other reviews here that scared me off a little, talking about how thin the rug is. I am totally happy with the thickness. I have another area rug that's wool and hand-done, and of course this one is thinner than that. But it's not so thin that I'm displeased. I have a big living room and wanted a rug that would cover a lot of floor space. For the price, this is an amazing rug. It's very large, which is what I was looking for, neutral but not too neutral, and I'm not overly concerned about stains or anything like that. If you're looking for a super plush high end area rug, you're going to be disappointed. But if you want a very good, very large rug for a room that gets "lived in" a lot, you'll like this one.Read More
wrinkly rug
The rug itself is rather thin, but for this price i did not expect more. Color is accurate to description. Major problem with wrinkles. When i unrolled the rug there were a couple wrinkles on the edge . I thought they would flatten out with time, but it's still a problem. My real shock and disappointment came when i unrolled the entire rug only to find the end of the rug near the cardboard tube used to ship it, was VERY crumpled AND wrinkles. I just don';t see how it will flatten out even with heavy furniture on top. At this point im trying to hide it . Im going to give it another week and if it's not flat, the rug is being returned. If they had just taken the time and care to roll the rug carefully on the cardboard tube, I would not be having this problem.Read More
Disappointing quality
The color was true to the computer--something that does not happen too often. I was surprised that the quality was so cheap. It is very flimsy. I doubt this will last long, and I am very disappointed.Read More

This unique, effective form of Glucosamine is produced through a proprietary process of non-GMO corn fermentation, with further refinement to attain the highest levels of purity.

This unique product is suitable for vegetarians, because it contains Glucosamine from a vegetarian source and not from shellfish.

Men's Tennis Signs International Player
By Erin McGonigal
for Creighton Sports Information
OMAHA, Neb.- Creighton men's tennis head coach Tom Lilly announced Thursday that Marko Vukalovic recently signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Bluejays beginning with the 2014-2015 season.
Vukalovic began his high school career at Rudjer Boskovic High School in Serbia earning a Cambridge ICE diploma before enrolling at Elevation Prep Academy in Sarasota, Fla., for his final year of schooling and training.
Over the course of his decorated career, Vukalovic won four Belgrade Tennis Association Titles and two Serbian Tennis Association Titles. In 2013, the 5'11 right-hander claimed the Next Generation Super Series Doubles Title. That same year he helped lead his club team, TK Usce, to a third-place finish in the National Team Championships a year after the squad advanced to the quarterfinals.
Prior to Vukalovic's arrival in the U.S., he ranked 34th in the country of Serbia and as high as third in the city of Belgrade. He studied under former Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) player Cary Cohenour as well as Nemanja Lalic who has coached top-20 Serbian ATP players in recent years.
A native of Belgrade, Serbia, Vukalovic joins the Bluejays as the second international player on the roster alongside rising junior August Nysted of Norway.
Marko is the son of Drago and Snezana Vukalovic. He has one brother, Luka. Vukalovic plans to major in economics.
Vukalovic joins two other men's tennis signees in Joey Anderson and Alex Koca.

Soviet Lunar Exploration
What's Happening at the Discovery Center
- 1 of 7
- next ›
After the Soviet Union lost the race to put a human on the Moon, it instead concentrated on robotic missions to explore the lunar surface and survey sites for manned landings and lunar bases. Two rare artifacts in our Launch to the Moon exhibit - both on loan from the Kansas Cosmosphere & Space Center - tell a story that few in the United States have ever heard.
Luna 16 Robotic Probe
The Luna 16 Robotic Probe was the first unmanned spacecraft to land on the Moon, robotically scoop up a small amount of lunar soil and then launch the sample back into space to return to Earth. The 12-day mission by the Soviet Union took place months after the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 missions that had already returned lunar samples to Earth.
When the unmanned Luna 16 Robotic Probe set down in the Sea of Fertility in September 1970, it was the first time a spacecraft had landed on the Moon during the gloomy two-week lunar night. Within an hour of landing, a drill onboard the probe collected a sample of lunar soil. Then, mission controllers in Kazakhstan verified the collection and transmitted the order to fire the ascent stage of Luna 16. Three days later, the soil sample was returned to the Earth, marking the first time a sample from another world had been retrieved purely by machine.
Scientists were fascinated to learn of slight differences in the chemical composition of lunar soil returned by Luna 16 compared to the Apollo material. The dark, powdery basalt material (pictured, left) was found to be very similar to that obtained from another mare site by Apollo 12, but differed slightly from Apollo 11's samples in the levels of titanium and zirconium oxide.
The Luna 16 spacecraft consisted of two attached stages, an ascent stage mounted on top of a descent stage.
The descent stage was a cylindrical body with four protruding landing legs, fuel tanks, landing radar and a dual descent engine complex and was equipped with a television camera, radiation and temperature monitors, telecommunications equipment and an extendable arm with a drilling rig.
The ascent stage was a smaller cylinder with a rounded top that carried a cylindrical hermetically sealed soil sample container inside a re-entry capsule. The actual Luna 16 Robotic Probe was 10 ft. (3.1 m) tall and, with its legs extended, 11 ft. (3.3 m) in diameter. It weighed 4,145 lbs. (1,880 kg). The model on display in the El Pomar Space Gallery is half-scale and was constructed in the Soviet Union.
Two additional missions by the Soviets - Luna 20 in 1972 and Luna 24 in 1976 - also returned samples from the Moon.

Lunokhod Rover
The Lunokhod lunar rover - one of only a few ever to be displayed outside of the former Soviet Union - was part of the Luna program, a bold series ofexperiments that sent nine unmanned remote-controlled robot spacecraft into lunar orbit and to the surface of the moon. Lunokhod means Moonwalker in Russian.
Two of the spacecraft that successfully landed on the Moon - Luna 17 and Luna 21 - carried Lunokhod rovers, which, remote-controlled from Earth, explored the lunar surface and sent back large amounts of scientific information and photographs.
Secretly launched by the Soviet Union atop a Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on November 10, 1970, Lunokhod 1 was carried aboard the Luna 17 lunar lander to the Sea of Rains where it explored the lunar surface for 11 months. Lunokhod 1 traveled seven miles (11 km) and explored the Mare Imbrium, or Sea of Showers.
Lunokhod 2 followed the Soviet Union's first lunar rover by riding aboard the Luna 21 lander, which was launched atop a Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on January 8, 1973. The second rover landed on the Moon near a crater called LeMonier in the Sea of Serenity and then operated for about four months, traveling 26 miles (42 km). Like its Lunokhod 1 predecessor, it televised pictures of the lunar surface back to Earth and employed a suite of science instruments to observe solar X-rays, measure local magnetic fields and study mechanical properties of the lunar soil.
The Lunokhod is formed of a tub-like compartment with a large convex lid on eight independently powered wheels. Approximately the size of a Volkswagen Beetle - 4 ft. high (1.35 m) by 7 ft. long (2.15 m), with a wheelbase of 5 ft. (1.6 m) - it was equipped with antennas, television cameras, extendable devices to impact the lunar soil for density measurements and mechanical property tests, an X-ray spectrometer, an X-ray telescope, a cosmic ray detector and a laser device. The vehicle, which weighed 1,852 lbs. (840 kg), was powered by batteries that could be recharged during the lunar day by a solar cell array mounted on the underside of the lid. During the lunar nights, the lid could be closed so that an internal heat source could keep the internal components at operating temperature. It could travel 0.5 to 1.2 mph (.8 to 1.93 kph). Lunokhod 1 and 2 were remotely guided by teams of ground-based engineers (pictured, above left).
The full-scale prototype unit on display at the Space Foundation was built by the Russian company that constructed the retired Lunokhods that still rest on the surface of the Moon.
Both Lunokhods remain on the surface of the Moon and often are targeted by distance-measuring lasers that are beamed from Earth to reflect off devices attached to each rover. While the location of Lunokhod 2 was known for years, the resting place of Lunokhod 1 was only recently identified in 2010 when images from high-resolution cameras on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter pinpointed the exact spot. Such distance measurements helps scientists track the Moon's slow drift away from Earth and better understand what's occurring inside the Moon's core. Pictured, right, Lunokhod 1 on the Moon with inset of the actual rover.

At any level of basketball, it's difficult to attain perfection in league play.
The Carbon High girls basketball team found that out in heartbreaking fashion falling to Juab 51-47 in overtime on Thursday night at the CHS gymnasium.
What looked like another opportunity for the Lady Dinos to seperate themselves from the rest of the pack in Region 12 play was changed in a matter of just eight minutes. Juab mounted a huge fourth quarter comeback to help send the game into overtime. In overtime they took to the free throw line and converted the opportunities on their way to giving Carbon their first blemish of the region season and ending their eight game winning streak.
"Hopefully this game serves as a wake up call for us," said Carbon High head coach Ted Bianco after the game.
Through much of the first three quarters, Carbon controlled the game through the use of their signature pressure defense and a number of timely baskets to gain a lead of 24-11 heading into halftime.
But, as it has been the case over the past few games, the Lady Dinos came out flat to start the second half. Despite keeping up their pressure on defense, the Carbon offense began to sputter. The team began to accumulate turnovers and were unable to convert on some baskets down low in the paint.
Carbon took a 10 point lead into the fourth quarter when Juab began to make their move. With each made shot and defensive stop, the Lady Wasps gained a noticeable confidence that spread like a wildfire through the players and coaching staff.
Juab cut the lead to 37-33 with 2:23 left and were helped by the Lady Dinos making just 50 percent of their free throws down the stretch.
Down by two with 10.7 seconds left, Juab gave the ball to Kobe Farrer who calmly snuck in behind Carbon players in the paint and hit a turn around jumper that bounced around the rim before falling in to tie the game at 40-40. Carbon's Miranda Averett missed a running jumper that bounced off the backboard sending the game into overtime.
In overtime, the two teams traded baskets and chances at the free throw line. Juab took a 46-45 lead which they would never relinquish.
Carbon's luck would not get any better down the stretch as Rachel Scoggins, one of the team's three point shooters, saw two of her attempts bounce out of the basket and Lexi Gagon missed a close layup in the final moments.
Juab (11-7, 6-2 Region 12) was able to convert from the foul line down the stretch (16-of-27, 59.3 percent) compared to Carbon (12-of-27, 44.4 percent).
"We need to take care of business at the free throw line," Bianco said noting the importance of those missed points down the stretch.
Despite the loss, Carbon still maintains their one game lead over Delta and Juab heaing into the final two region games this week.
Bianco said the team will need to gain their confidence back after letting miscues get the best of the team.
"Our defense broke down late in the second half and we started to play really tight," he explained. "We couldn't get shots to fall and we just seemed to lose our edge defensively."
Kelcy Otani led Carbon with 12 points. Averett added 11 points as Regan Powell and Amanda Freestone each finished with seven points.
Carbon (14-4, 7-1) will look to rebound as they head to North Sanpete for a road game tonight at 5:15 p.m. They will finish the season at home on Thursday against Delta in what could be the game that decides the Region 12 champion.
Bianco said he is confident that the team will overcome a tough performance to finish the season strong.
"We'll bounce back," he said.

Michael Jackson has made more money dead than you or I will ever make alive, and now his estate will rake in a few additional loads of cheddar. GK Films is in negotiations to acquire a package for a film that will turn Jackson's hit song Thriller into a big screen blockbuster smash hit bonanza. Kenny Ortega, who directed This Is It… (which was clearly a lie), will also direct Thriller. The Hangover writer Jeremy Garelick will take scripting duties.
Deadline reports that the plot is being kept under wraps, but "it has to do with the song's folklore, involving Vincent Price and the town he grew up in." What? You take a song with an awesome video involving zombies and werewolves and you turn it into a Vincent Price biopic? Piece of advice, money men. Don't blow a boatload of cash on a Michael Jackson project about Vincent Price. I'm sure the Price estate would give you his anecdotes in exchange for a nice Sunday sit down dinner.
Cameron pushes through a minor stroke.
We knew it was too good to be true. James Cameron has been wooed away from the 3D epic Cleopatra starring Angelina Jolie. Fox made a "huge" donation to Cameron's environmental fund in order to get him to commit to Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 as his next films.
This will tie him up through 2015 at minimum. Seeing how it takes him three years to put his shoes on, it's unlikely he'll expand the lush digital world he aims to capture. The plan as of right now is to have him start scripting early next year to get Avatar 2 in theaters by December 2014. He'll decide whether he wants to shoot the sequels back-to-back once scripting is complete. So get ready for Avatar to stay in the news cycle for a long time to come. As well as reports of Angelina Jolie kicking drums of oil into Cameron's beloved ocean. (Deadline)
No, you keep missing it.
Christopher Nolan has revealed to Hero Complex that the title of his third Batman film will be The Dark Knight Rises. I'll give you a minute to clean the crap out of your undies. He also revealed that The Riddler will not terrorize Gotham in the film. Okay, clean the rest. Gosh, you're as excitable as a poodle.
Nolan also noted, "We'll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we'll be introducing some new ones." So he's not revolutionizing the sequel as we know it in cinema. Warner Bros. has also been convinced that IMAX rather than 3D would be a better way to go with the film. I'm not certain why they aren't considering both, but apparently more news on that will be revealed later today. Honestly WB, you could charge $50 a ticket and people would pay it. Well, not poor people, but they don't deserve blockbuster entertainment anyway. (via /Film)
Christopher McQuarrie, the proposed screenwriter for Top Gun 2, says there will be no sequel in which Maverick is not in the starring role. The comments come just days after director Tony Scott suggested the film would focus on younger pilots, a move that would seem to diminish the role of Tom Cruise's famous character from the original film.
Regardless of whether Cruise stars in the film, we've yet to hear what role Anthony Edwards will play. Might I suggest "Moose," the lovable twin brother of "Goose," who meets Maverick while searching for a lost treasure map hidden in his dead brother's helmet. It's just a suggestion. Take it or leave it. (Vulture via /Film)
Shocking news out of Hollywood this morning. Eugene Levy has accepted a role in a real movie, not just another American Pie spin-off film. The movie, however, does star Seann William Scott. Baby steps.
Levy has joined Goon, the indie hockey comedy about a bouncer who joins a crappy hockey team after being "touched by the fist of God." Usually you need to pay top dollar in Brazil for one of those. Anyway, the film also stars Liev Schreiber, Alison Pill, and Jay Baruchel (who also co-wrote with Evan Goldberg). The script is based off the book Goon: The True Story Of The Unlikely Journey Into Minor League Hockey. I'm sorry. I tried to read that last sentence, but all I got was Canada: Canada Canada Canada Canada Canada Canada Canada Canada Canada Canada Canada. (Variety)
Darren Aronofsky is a busy, busy bee. Not only is he set to start production on Wolverine 2 in a matter of months, but now the director has signed on for cybernetic thriller Machine Man. He'll reteam with Black Swan co-writer Mark Heyman on the script. THR has the deets:
Described as an "amped up pop-thriller," the story centers on a gadget geek and engineer at a forward thinking tech firm who is tired of going through life average and unnoticed and is also obsessed with his own self improvement. He decides to replace his weak, fleshy parts with high-end titanium performance upgrades of his own design but then discovers other entities have designs on him for their own motives.
So…kind of like a Robocop/Wolverine mash-up? Aronofsky is really loving the melding of flesh and steel lately. If he doesn't get his fix quick, we could have another Terminator sequel on our hands. And need I remind you, Schwarzenegger will be out of the Governor's office and begging for a job within months.
It's a painting by Hillary White based on Rembrandt's "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp." It's also the reason I'll wake up screaming in a cold sweat tonight. (BuzzFeed)

Tower Heist keeps inching closer to becoming a movie by picking up talent left and right. Matthew Broderick is now on board to play a Wall Street suit who joins Ben Stiller in the plot to get revenge against Alan Alda's Madoff-like character. Fake documentarian Casey Affleck is also joining up as Stiller's best friend/voice of reason. He'll help complicate the would-be robbery when he takes a firm stance against it. Judd Hirsch will play an unspecified role in the film. Let's just assume he'll play an old school New Yorker. Or a cop. Or a guy who looks like a Cookie Puss ice cream cake.
The resemblance is quite haunting. (via /Film)
"Check please!"
Don't ask Charlie Sheen about his vacation, you guys. Let's just say, "It was relaxing." Relaxing meaning he had an allergic reaction to some medicine that caused him to strip naked, scream at the top of his lungs, trash a room in New York's famed Plaza Hotel, and cause a naked prostitute to seek shelter in the closet. He also checked out Ground Zero.
So you'd be right to assume that he's in a lot of trouble. Except that you'd be wrong. TV's highest paid star is walking away scott-free from the entire incident.
"…as of now Sheen will not face any criminal charges for trashing his room at New York's venerable Plaza Hotel. The hotel hasn't come forward to lodge any complaint against the star, either."
What do you have to do to offend the Plaza? Show your **** to Eloise? (E!)
The original Planet of the Apes rode on the then-groundbreaking makeup effects and a shocker ending. The 2001 "re-imagining" tried to right on action and special effects. The latest version of the Apes story is going to live or die on pure acting. Andy Serkis is playing Caesar, the chimpanzee who learns to talk and may or may not rise to dominate humans. Spoiler alert, the movie's called Rise of the Apes and it stars James Franco as… the human. (The part he was born to play, baby!)

Warner Bros. has recently been getting all jazzed up about their Looney Tunes properties. The studio is producing new 3D shorts for the big screen, and Mike Myers has signed on to voice stinky, sexually aggressive skunk Pepe Le Pew. Now WB has bought a pitch for a film that centers on the ACME Warehouse, the outlet where Wile E. Coyote frequently shops.
There aren't many details about the Kevin and Dan Hageman pitch, but as you can tell from the above pic, there are plenty of products to explore. Of course, WB could instead decide to capitalize on the world's overwhelming fascination with the history of the anvil. A three hour documentary on the device most often used by animated characters to murder other animated characters would get butts in the seats, no question. (THR)
Ritual pre-concert round of Peek-a-boo.
And now for the part of the job I hate the most — having a hand in promoting Justin Bieber. But that's the job, and I knew that full well when I agreed to $4.25 an hour. Anyhow, the little sh*t and new "Punk'd" host is back with Never Say Never, a "biopic" about the time Justin filmed a concert in New York last month. This is mixed with behind the scenes footage, home movies, and interviews with his manager, who says only nice things for fear of being punched in the balls again.
You really did it Justin, even though "they" said you couldn't. Help yourself to a hard-earned juicebox.

Bit by bit, Disney is revealing more of the Daft Punk-composed soundtrack for the upcoming Tron Legacy. The unofficial campaign name is Operation: Tron Legacy Blue Balls, as I can only take so much teasing before it starts to get painful.
In this new music-centered trailer, footage you've already seen is backed with the new Daft Punk track, "Derezzed." We've heard "The Game Has Changed," which is more of a "getting pumped to enter an arena" track. "Derezzed" is a more of a "cut his f*cking head off with that light disc!" track. It bumps, yo.
Check out the trailer after the jump…
That looks amazing!
George Lucas has been down in the dumps, suffering form what psychologists call "Avatar Envy." In order to combat the crippling mental illness, the famed director ordered the entire Star Wars saga converted to 3D. Rumor has it that this treatment failed to have the desired effect, so Lucas is taking the 3D axe to the Indiana Jones films, as well.
If the rumors are true, we should be getting an official announcement sometime next month. If the rumors are untrue, I'll be giving the Internet a stern talking to about spreading gossip. (Blue Sky Disney via First Showing)
Big news for people who cherish their virginity: Star Trek 2 will not feature Khan Noonien Singh (a.k.a. Khan) as the villain. At least that's what everyone else seems to be saying, even though it's all based on an unnamed "source" who emailed Badass News. But if not Khan, who will be the antagonist?
"The e-mail read, "It's definitely a character that will make fans of [The Original Series] excited. Think along the lines of Harry Mudd or Trelane or Gary Mitchell or the Talosians or the Horta. Actually it's one of those that I named."
Those are all fine choices, but I really feel like they should be utilizing the evil whales from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. (Latino Review)
You see, the olives are meant to represent her boobs.
Good news everybody. Comedy Central may have found something to replace "Chappelle's Show" in its line-up. Or at least something to bookend their constant screenings of Waiting and Still Waiting.
That's right. Waiting, the film about Ryan Reynolds's flirty waiter, is becoming a half-hour long series. It's okay to groan "Party Down" fans. Your pain is felt. (Deadline)

Mark Wahlberg is in talks to star alongside a life-sized teddy bear in Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut, Ted. The R-rated comedy, also written by MacFarlane and "Family Guy" buds Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, follows a normal Boston grown up guy who's still best friends with his childhood teddy bear that he wished would come to life, and it did. The bear however is a big slacker pain in the ass now and keeps Wahlberg's character from committing to adulthood.
MacFarlane will provide the voice of the bear, which will be created through the magic of computers. I'm sure Dan Aykroyd would be more than happy to offer advice on voicing a CG bear. He's got that skill down pat. I also can't end this post without acknowledging that Ted has the exact same premise as Drop Dead Fred. If you've never seen that movie, do yourself a favor and go out and SMASH A COPY. (Deadline)
Daaaaamn, De Niro. You look gooooooood. In these new Little Fockers character one-sheets, all signs of aging have been Photoshopped away from the stars' faces. Notice how Robert De Niro doesn't have any lines on his forehead. Even newborns have those. The guy is 67-years-old. Leave some lines on there so he doesn't look like a cyborg! I'm surprised they didn't airbrush his mole off while they were at it. It's a huge deterrent for audiences. Why would anyone want to see a movie full of actors with imperfections? I'll stay home and watch "Gossip Girl," thank you very much.

AMC is promoting the premiere of "The Walking Dead" by unleashing hordes of the undead all over the globe. Well, hundreds of actors playing the undead actually. The invasion will begin tomorrow in Taipei and Hong Kong before spreading to Chicago, London, New York, Munich, Madrid, Rome, Athens, Washington, D.C., Johannesburg, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, and Los Angeles. The herds will attack landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Big Ben, and the Lincoln Memorial.
This is a terrible idea. The show looks great and all, but this kind of promotion is the exact cover that the real zombies have been waiting for. Go ahead and laugh, but I'll be prepared. I'm already stocked up on canned goods and when those run out, I'll dip into the Whisker Lickins'. I'll be on spending the next week on my roof. You all get one warning shot. (The Wrap)

I can't believe it's been over 25 years since the first Back to the Future came out. To commemorate the anniversary, Universal is releasing the entire trilogy on Blu-ray, and I got to take the discs for an early run.
I'm not going to write a synopsis of the films because, well, it's Back to the Future. I can't imagine you being on Screen Junkies and not having seen these movies a million times. So you know my stance going into the Blu-ray review, I will say that I dearly love Back to the Future, but find the sequels a bit lacking. Still really fun movies, but they aren't on the same level as the original.

Antonio Banderas is stepping behind the camera once again. With the films Crazy In Alabama and Summer Rain already on his directorial resume, he'll put his smoldering eye to the viewfinder of a sci-fi thriller. The film is called Solo, in which he will also star as a Spanish colonel who is suffering from post-traumatic stress. We're not sure how the sci-fi element comes into play. Perhaps it's aliens. Or robots. Or robot-aliens. Or sinus-suffering anthropomorphic bees. Or perhaps it's weaponized Mario Van Peebleses.
There's no new "House" while Fox has baseball to run, but I got the next two new episodes in advance. I get my "House" fix and I can satisfy you with a little tease too, but I promise no spoilers beyond what you'd find in TV Guide.
The patient in "Office Politics" is a political campaign advisor (Jack Coleman). It's HRG from "Heroes" playing another manipulative politician. His reaction to House's tactics is refreshingly simpatico. It's interesting to see a patient who agrees with House's methods, not that it makes the diagnosis any easier.

"Saturday Night Live's" new cast member Jay Pharoah does an impeccable Denzel Washington. He did a sketch about Washington working retail as research for a part, and Pharoah totally captured Washington's sound, his cadence, his laugh. Washington heard about that a lot as he spoke to reporters about his new movie, Unstoppable.
The thing is, when I asked him if he heard the impression, he kind of started doing the impression back to me. He's in a press conference with costars Rosario Dawson and Tony Scott. From the opening laughter to the way he turns the question around on me and tries to prod me, that's exactly how Pharoah played it.
After the jump, take a listen to an audio clip of Washington sounding very much like the "SNL" version of Denzel Washington.
Today I have some sad news for Wilford Brimley. Danny Devito has stepped into the lead role of Fox Animation's adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. Zac Efron, Betty White, Ed Helms, and Rob Riggle also star in the CG animated film about a weird, little beast who defends nature against industrialization. In a case of life imitating art, Devito had this to ramble:
"Look, I don't want to be gruff about it, but we've got to wake up and smell the oil burning. I'm hoping that the squeakiest wheel gets the least grease. I feel sometimes the only way to get things done is shake people up a little bit, and the Lorax is not a guy who pussyfoots around. He's not a guy who uses kid gloves. No, no, the Lorax means business."
Jim Carrey and Mike Myers, who both had to sit in a make-up chair for hours on end before performing beneath hot setlights in the equivalent of a fur coat for their Seuss roles, are reportedly thrilled that Danny Devito has to drive all the way to Burbank for two hours of work. (USA Today)
"The Simpsons" Halloween episodes, or "Treehouse of Horrors" are an annual tradition.

Paramount's attempts to woo Tony Scott back for a Top Gun sequel were a success. Though it won't be his next film, the director seems pretty excited to show off the nerdy side of the 'new' Navy.
"I'm not waiting for a script. I'm going to do my homework. I'm going down to I think it's Fallon, Nevada, down near New Mexico and it's a whole different world now… These computer geeks — these kids play war games in a trailer in Fallon, Nevada and if we ever wentto war or were in the Middle East or the Far East or wherever it is, these guys can actually fly drones. They are unmanned aircraft. They operate them and then they party all night."
Without any actual pilots, the story has nothing at stake. The drama of the original Top Gun was watching Maverick push himself to his limits and beyond in the cockpit. Now the biggest challenge is going to be watching Taylor Lautner get video game thumb. Which, in all fairness, does really hurt. (HitFix)

You all laughed when I warned you on the inevitable robot uprising. And then that other time when I got pantsed in church. At least now, Hollywood is listening.
Just the other day it was announced that Steven Spielberg would choose the adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's Robopocalypse as his next directorial effort, and this weekend comes news that Jack Black will adapt another of Wilson's books about robots overthrowing mankind (seriously, one wasn't enough?). Black, along with Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink, are looking to develop How To Survive A Robot Uprising. The eventual film will star Black as a layabout in a future society where robots are our slaves. When they revolt, it's up to Jack Black to save us all. It's like "Battlestar Galactica" with more farting. (io9)
New Zealand is coming across as a little too desperate about this whole Hobbit situation. Granted, I know losing the Peter Jackson film, with its $500 million budget, would be a huge economic loss, but this video/rally seems just a little over the top.
New Zealand has to understand that Warner Bros. isn't going to respect them if they act so needy. What they need to do is act like they don't give a damn where The Hobbit is shot. Maybe New Zealand can even make out with some executives from Universal in a public place where Warner Bros. can totally see what's going on! That's sure to make Warner Bros. jealous! (Deadline)

This morning I have for you a preview of the upcoming Halloween episode of "Community." Zombies have taken over Greendale. The producers have also managed to make all the characters' costumes funny again, as well as indicative of their unique personalities. Jeff is so vain that he always goes as something effortlessly attractive. This year he's David Beckham. Brilliant. And wait until you see Senor Chang.
"Community" is without a doubt one of the best shows on television, and it's perplexing to me that no one watches it. You and I might watch it, but everyone else is tuning into "The Big Bang Theory" and not DVRing the little college sitcom on NBC at the same time. Some affiliates across the country are even dropping it from their lineup due to the fact that no one in their city gives a crap. That is not a good sign, folks. Once affiliates start dropping programs it's not long before it gets yanked from the schedule altogether. Let's watch this Halloween episode and save this show from going the way of "Arrested Development."

Where'd Rex Go?
Ryan has taken a more somber approach of late with the press, which got Gary Myers asking where the old Rex Ryan went?
He spoke in monotone. He looked distraught. The most forthcoming coach in the NFL danced around questions. He was a beaten man. That's what happens when your supposed franchise quarterback just threw four more interceptions and lost a fumble in the game that eliminated the Jets from the playoffs. It's not easy to win when the quarterback has 50 turnovers in the previous 30 games.
Where did Ryan go?
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
It's not so much about where did Ryan go as the attitude he can bring with him while he's winning. It's hard to be brash and playful when your team isn't playing well. When Ryan came to the Jets and the world lauded him as a breath of fresh air, we always said that his act would be welcome as long as he's winning. Should things turn sour, New York might not think it so fun.
We're now to that point. We were at the same point with Eric Mangini too. We were willing to put up with his secrecy when he was winning, but not when he was losing.
Nothing's changed but who's currently playing the lead role in the Broadway performance.

Who knew Vanessa Hudgens was model material?
The "Spring Breakers" star stuns in the December issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia in a series of high-fashion shots with photographer John Russo.
Vanessa dons designer gowns by Dolce and Gabbana, Lanvin and Gucci for the pictorial – and to be honest, we've never seen the 23-year-old look so chic!
The brunette beauty really wows in the emerald green wrap dress by Gucci (below) – the fit and color are perfection on the young actress and her hair and makeup really complement the couture look.
But, we've definitely seen this outfit before!
Tamara Ecclestone and Kim Kardashian have both worn the leopard print dress on the red carpet this year … but neither did the emerald ensemble quite as much justice as Vanessa!
This particular Gucci getup is better suited for ladies with (as much as we hate to say it) fewer curves. Are you a fan of the outfit? See even more stars in dueling dresses in the gallery below!
