At Home: A Short History of Private Lifeby Bill Bryson
Staff Pick
There is nothing on this planet that Bryson cannot make fascinating. In his hands, exploring the minutiae of his house becomes an adventure. (Granted, his house is a Victorian vicarage in Norfolk, England.) At Home is a joyful, chatty dip into the history of everyday life.
Bill Bryson could make paint drying seem utterly fascinating. In his own house, a former parsonage in a tiny village in England, Bryson is perplexed by the attributes (and non-attributes) he finds there. There are no stairs up to the attic, but what is up there is a beautifully finished door to...nowhere. So starts Bryson's quest to discover all things homey. The original reason people started living in houses, the immensity London's sewer system, America's love of ice, your fuse box, Jefferson's Monticello, the cholera epidemic, Thomas Chippendale, life without light, poisonous wallpaper, the seasonings on your dining table — it's all in there. Bryson's amazing mind and intelligent wit will completely win you over.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From one of the most beloved authors of our time — more than six million copies of his books have been sold in this country alone — a fascinating excursion into the history behind the place we call home.
Houses aren't refuges from history. They are where history ends up. Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to "write a history of the world without leaving home." The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has figured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture.
Bill Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and he is a master at turning the seemingly isolated or mundane fact into an occasion for the most diverting exposition imaginable. His wit and sheer prose fluency make At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.
"Bryson (A Short History of Everything) takes readers on a tour of his house, a rural English parsonage, and finds it crammed with 10,000 years of fascinating historical bric-a-brac. Each room becomes a starting point for a free-ranging discussion of rarely noticed but foundational aspects of social life. A visit to the kitchen prompts disquisitions on food adulteration and gluttony; a peek into the bedroom reveals nutty sex nostrums and the horrors of premodern surgery; in the study we find rats and locusts; a stop in the scullery illuminates the put-upon lives of servants. Bryson follows his inquisitiveness wherever it goes, from Darwinian evolution to the invention of the lawnmower, while savoring eccentric characters and untoward events (like Queen Elizabeth I's pilfering of a subject's silverware). There are many guilty pleasures, from Bryson's droll prose — 'What really turned the Victorians to bathing, however, was the realization that it could be gloriously punishing' — to the many tantalizing glimpses behind closed doors at aristocratic English country houses. In demonstrating how everything we take for granted, from comfortable furniture to smoke-free air, went from unimaginable luxury to humdrum routine, Bryson shows us how odd and improbable our own lives really are." Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
"At Home is a great survey of how we reached our current state and a valuable reminder of how recent that state is....This book is a wide-ranging but unflaggingly fascinating chronicle." Miami Herald
"In a sense, Bryson's book is a history of 'getting comfortable slowly,'....Informative, readable and great fun." Kirkus Reviews
"A beautifully written ode to the ordinary and overlooked things of everyday life in the home." Booklist
"Fascinating....Bryson is fascinated by everything, and his curiosity is infectious...[his] enthusiasm brightens any dull corner....You'll be given a delightful smattering of information about everything but...the kitchen sink." Dominique Browning, The New York Times Book Review
"[D]elightful....Considering our homes means a dash through history, politics, science, sex, and dozens of other fields. If this book doesn't supply you with five years' worth of dinner conversation, you're not paying attention." People magazine
From beloved author Bryson comes a fascinating excursion into the history behind the place people call home.
With his signature wit, charm, and seemingly limitless knowledge, Bill Bryson takes us on a room-by-room tour through his own house, using each room as a jumping off point into the vast history of the domestic artifacts we take for granted. As he takes us through the history of our modern comforts, Bryson demonstrates that whatever happens in the world eventually ends up in our home, in the paint, the pipes, the pillows, and every item of furniture. Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and his sheer prose fluency makes At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.

Funding gap for Arizona public pension systems grows
PHOENIX — The gap between actual funding for Arizona's public employee
retirement plans and what those plans should have on hand continues to grow.
According to a new report by Pew Center on the States and the Laura and John Arnold
Foundation,the retirement plans have a $13 billion shortfall. That's up
from $12 billion a year earlier.
Factors cited include a lower than projected return on investments.
The report said the plans are now funded cumulatively at 73.2 percent, while
industry standards say that a fund is considered healthy at 80 percent or above.
State Treasurer Doug Ducey said changes made in 2005 and 2010 help but don't
solve the retirement plans' funding problem.
He added that changes must be made so the retirement plans can pay those who earned

It was learned the painting is one of four pieces the museum has that were once owned by German Nazis. The works were stolen from German museums by the Nazis in the 1930's and were auctioned to area art collectors in 1939. Museum director Brent Benjamin said the museum would return or pay for pieces that could be traced to Nazi Germany. (Photo by Bill Greenblatt/Liaison)

Patricia Ryan :
Don't insist on English!
In her talk, longtime English teacher Patricia Ryan asks a provocative question: Is the world's focus on English preventing the spread of great ideas in other languages? (For instance: what if Einstein had to pass the TOEFL?) It's a passionate defense of translating and sharing ideas. (Filmed at TEDxDubai.)

As you might recall from our What They Wore coverage, last month we headed back east to New York Fashion Week for an appointment-packed work trip. Powered by copious amounts of green tea (Katherine) and giant coffees (Hillary), we zipped all over Manhattan to see fashion shows, attend presentations, and meet with established and up-and-coming designers. Exhausting? Sure. Exhilarating? Indubitably!
One of the most thrilling aspects of this busy time was the fact that we were able to bring along the Who What Wear TV crew and document our experiences. Today, we're excited to share the first of a five part series that will show you, dear readers, a little slice of what our lives are like during Fashion Week. In this episode, we spend some time with one of our favorite designers, Alexander Wang, and his delightful muse/stylist, Erin Wasson, at a fitting, backstage, and at his runway show too.
We'll continue our regular stories starting tomorrow, but be sure to visit the Who What Wear TV page every day for a new installation of our Fashion Week series. Our regularly scheduled episodes of Who What Wear TV will return next Wednesday.

RAW INTERVIEW: Inside a gang 'jump in' - and 'jump out'
EUGENE, Ore. - To join a gang, Two Pack and the other 1,000 confirmed criminal street gang members in Eugene-Springfield undergo an initiation called a "jump in."
In this interview excerpt, Two Pack talks about gang initiation. His real name and identity are not known to KVAL News. Eugene police helped arrange the interview and confirmed the man's criminal history.
He has since left town. KVAL News does not know where the man is now.
Police have surveillance footage of an actual jump in, caught on camera at a public park in Eugene.

DEPEW, NY - It started as a barbecue truck in Florida. Now, Kentucky Greg's Hickory Pit is here in Western New York serving up Kentucky-style BBQ in Depew.
The meat gets a dry rub and several hours in the smoker before being finished with a sauce and sent to the table. All the meats are worth trying, though the real winner here is the sausage and chicken gumbo- don't leave the place without trying it. And finish off with the surprisingly good desserts- a great selection of pies and cupcakes, including a very unique sweet potato cupcake.

HIV-1 Viral Dynamics in Subjects Initiating Raltegravir Therapy
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study is designed to determine how quickly HIV-1 is cleared from the blood in treatment-experienced patients beginning a salvage therapy regimen that includes the integrase inhibitor raltegravir. The hypothesis is that HIV-1 is cleared as rapidly in these patients as in treatment-naive patients starting a raltegravir-based regimen.
HIV-1 Infection
Other: blood drawing
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|HIV-1 Viral Dynamics in Subjects Initiating Raltegravir Therapy
- first- and second-phase decay rates of plasma HIV-1 RNA [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- 1. As exploratory analyses, to compare the observed first-phase decay rate of plasma HIV-1 RNA in treatment-experienced patients receiving raltegravir to treatment-naïve patients in other studies. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- 2. Quantify changes in the intracellular levels of HIV-1 proviral DNA and LTR circles during raltegravir therapy. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- 3. Correlate changes in the intracellular DNA compartments with first- and second-phase plasma HIV-1 RNA clearance rates. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be tested for HIV-1 DNA levels. The cell pellets obtained from each of the samples will be tested for 1) total HIV-1 DNA and 2-LTR circles using real-time quantitative PCR and 2) integrated proviral DNA using Alu real-time nested PCR.
|Study Start Date:
|June 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2009
|Primary Completion Date:
|December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
antiretroviral-experienced patients requiring raltegravir to construct an adequately potent antiretroviral regimen.
Other: blood drawing
Subjects will have been prescribed raltegravir (400 mg BID) by their primary physicians. Such subjects will have frequent blood sampling in this study to monitor the virologic response to raltegravir therapy.
Detailed Description:
This pilot study will closely examine the viral dynamics of both HIV-1 RNA and DNA in treatment-experienced subjects initiating raltegravir. The data derived from this study will further elucidate the effects of antiviral therapy on viral decay and help refine current viral dynamics models. In addition, results of this study will generate hypotheses for further testing regarding the mechanisms of action of integrase inhibitor therapy in salvage regimens. Lastly, this viral dynamic study on a unique cohort will provide an opportunity to further validate the effectiveness of the methods of measuring rate of decrease of viral RNA and DNA in piloting potential potent drug regimens.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Eligible subjects are antiretroviral-experienced patients requiring raltegravir to construct an adequately potent antiretroviral regimen.
Inclusion Criteria:
- HIV-infected patients age 18 years or older requiring treatment with raltegravir in order to construct an adequately active antiretroviral regimen.
- Availability of at least two other drugs expected to have full activity based on genotypic and/or phenotypic drug resistance testing, a co-receptor tropism assay, or first use of a drug from a previously unused class of antiretroviral drugs (e.g., first use of enfuvirtide).
- Plasma HIV-1 RNA >10,000 copies/mL at screening (within 6 weeks of study entry).
- Negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening and within 48 hours prior to entry for women with reproductive potential
- Ability and willingness of subject or legal guardian/representative to provide informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
- Previous treatment with any approved or investigational strand-transfer integrase inhibitor at any time prior to study entry.
- Known allergy/sensitivity or any hypersensitivity to components of study drugs or their formulation.
- Any subject with an acute AIDS-defining opportunistic infection (OI) who is not clinically stable or who has not been on therapy for the OI for at least 30 days prior to study entry. Subjects who have no evidence of active disease and are receiving maintenance therapy for AIDS-related OIs will be eligible.
- Treatment within 30 days prior to study entry with immune modulators such as systemic steroids, interleukins, interferons, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), erythropoietin, or any investigational therapy.
NOTE: Subjects receiving stable physiologic glucocorticoid doses, defined as prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day (or equivalent) as a stable or tapering dose, will be permitted. Subjects receiving corticosteroids for acute therapy forPneumocystis jaroveci pneumonia (PCP) or asthma exacerbation, or receiving a short course (defined as ≤ 2 weeks of pharmacologic glucocorticoid therapy) will not be excluded.
• Serious illness requiring systemic treatment and/or hospitalization until candidate either completes therapy or is clinically stable on therapy, in the opinion of the site investigator, for at least 7 days prior to study entry.
NOTE: Oral candidiasis, vaginal candidiasis, mucocutaneous herpes simplex, and other minor illnesses (as judged by the site investigator) have no restriction.
• Substance abuse that, in the opinion of the site investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.who have limited or no treatment options due to extensive antiretroviral drug resistance or drug intolerance.

- 1 cup shelled fresh fava beans (1 1/4 pounds in pods) or shelled fresh or frozen edamame (soybeans; 3/4 pounds in pods)
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus additional for drizzling
- 1 1/2 cups packed baby arugula (1 1/2 ounces), divided
- 3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 baguette
- 1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
- 16 mint leaves
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
Cook fava beans in boiling water, uncovered, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Gently peel off skins (if using edamame, don't peel).
Pulse fava beans in a food processor until very coarsely chopped, then transfer half of mixture to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 cup arugula, cheese, lemon zest and juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to favas in processor and purée until smooth. Add to bowl. Coarsely chop remaining cup arugula and gently fold into fava-bean mixture.
Cut 16 diagonal slices (1/3 inch thick) from baguette and put in a 4-sided sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil. Bake until pale golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Rub with cut side of garlic.
Spoon fava-bean mixture onto baguette toasts, then drizzle with oil and top with mint.
What to drink:
Fontaleoni Vernaccia di
San Gimignano '07
Cooks' notes:
Topping, without chopped arugula, can be made
8 hours ahead and chilled. Fold in arugula before using.
Toasts can be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Seize the day and make the most of your life
Develop the unstoppable motivation to stop dreaming and start acting
Time is precious. You could live your whole life as if there is an infinite amount of tomorrows so everything can wait till later. Some day there will be no more.
Seize the day every day!
People who make things happen, who seize the day act as if time is at a valuable premium, aren't thinking: 'I'll do that later' or 'I might just do that one day!'. If something is worth doing it's worth doing or starting right now unless there are real reasons (not get outs and excuses) not to start it yet.
The laziness of youth is a rehearsal for the decrepitude of old age.
Seizing the day - which means seizing this moment is about developing a powerful sense of urgency around your projects and plans.Your sense of urgency is what gives dreams the life blood to come alive and work for you.
This session will inspire you to act instead of just dreaming and to seize the moment because no moment comes again.
Start living your life as if your mean it! Download Seize the Day and come out of life's waiting room.

Don't be distracted by his off-putting facial hair. Conan O'Brien has a message of utmost importance to share with you. Namely, the name of his new show. Much like his parents did 47 years ago, he's made the regrettable decision of naming it "Conan." This show is going to sooo get its ass kicked during recess. (Vulture)
Check out O'Brien making the official announcement after the jump…
"Lone Star" is Fox's biggest push for the new TV season. It's their hour-long drama about a con artist playing both sides in the Texas oil industry. Relative newcomer James…
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's slow transformation into Brendan Fraser is nearly complete. The wrestler-turned-actor (Walking Tall, Southland Tales, Chef Boyardee commercials) has signed on as the lead in the upcoming Journey To The Center Of Earth sequel. Many expected that Josh Hutcherson would make the leap to leading man for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, but it seems that he's riding shotgun this time around.
In the film, Johnson plays Hutcherson's mom's boyfriend who tags along for the exhilirating adventure when the boy travels to an unchartered island to find his missing grandfather. Seems like a lot of trouble. Did you check the local A&P, Josh? That's the first place I look when my granddad wanders. (THR)
Before a single episode has hit the airwaves, Frank Darabont's "The Walking Dead" has been renewed for a 13-episode second season, Empire Online is reporting. Based on Robert Kirkman's acclaimed comic series, the first season will premiere October 31st on AMC. Filming for the second season is set for February of next year.
As with the comics, the show will chronicle a group of people struggling to survive in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. While the first season will take place during a summer in Atlanta, there is speculation that the second will take place during the winter, in keeping with the source material.
"It would be great not just to get out of the heat, but to present a different idea to the audience visually and tonally by having it be winter," Darabont tells Comic Book Movie. "There's some really cool stuff that Kirkman did, where they find the one zombie that's frozen to the ground. I'd never seen that before and that's really cool."
You know what else would be cool, Frank Darabont? A prisoner whose jail cell is surrounded by zombies, casuing him to slowly run out of food and water. But that doesn't mean something so disturbing should be filmed! Actually, I was setting up a joke, but that prisoner thing is a good idea. You should go ahead and use that. Seriously, use it.
Quick! Crawl to the hatch!

Claiming dominion over all things aquatic or 3D, James Cameron went all king of the world on Piranha 3D last week, and now the film's producer Mark Canton (who looks like what would happen if Phil Spector banged Albert Brooks) is showing his teeth in response. And he raises a few damn good points! Though, they are lengthy points. Here's just a few favorites, but I encourage you to check out the entire response after jump. Go on wit yo' bad self, Mark Canton:
"Mr. Cameron, who singles himself out to be a visionary of movie-making, seems to have a small vision regarding any motion pictures that are not his own. It is amazing that in the movie-making process – which is certainly a team sport – that Cameron consistently celebrates himself out as though he is a team of one. His comments are ridiculous, self-serving and insulting to those of us who are not caught up in serving his ego and his rhetoric."
"Shame on you for thinking that genre movies and the real maestros like Roger Corman and his collaborators are any less auteur or impactful in the history of cinema than you. Martin Scorcese made Boxcar Bertha at the beginning of his career. And Francis Ford Coppola made Dimentia [sic] 13 back in 1963. And those are just a few examples of the talented and successful filmmakers whose roots are in genre films. Who are you to impugn any genre film or its creators?"
Double snap.
And now… fighting words:
"Jim, are you kidding or what? First of all, let's start by you accepting the fact that you were the original director of PIRANHA 2 and you were fired."
(Runs around in exaggerated circle playfully slapping own face a la early Martin Lawrence)
No. He. Didn't. Don't MAKE a James Cameron take off his earrings!!

Here's a little pick-me-up for your Tuesday afternoon. It's a montage of dance scenes from almost 40 films set to Kenny Loggins's "Footloose."

MTV has dropped the first clip from Mark Romanek's upcoming Never Let Me Go. The film stars Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan, and Andrew Garfield as young adults at a boarding school that is doing more than instilling proper etiquette. To give away anymore would be giving away too much. But if you watch the trailer you can probably figure out what's in store for the kids.
In the clip, Keira Knightley, in so many words, tells Carey Mulligan to stay away from her man (Andrew Garfield). She found Carey's porn and laughed at it with Andrew, which is totally not cool. But then she kisses her, so that makes it cool again.
Never Let Me Go hits theaters September 15, 2010.

Hot off both an Emmy and a fictional Clio Award win, "Mad Men" is going stronger than ever. The fourth season has slyly reinvented the show and ably guided it out of the bummerific territory it normally explored. Rolling Stone stopped by the set and snapped off a few pretty cool candids of Jon Hamm, Christina Hendricks, January Jones, and crew. My only complaint, needs more Blankenship.
Check out our favorite pics after the jump. Original gallery is located here.
Shaq will be making a cameo as himself in Adam Sandler's new film Jack & Jill. The recently-aquired Boston Celtics center is no stranger to playing Shaq in films. In fact, I imagine he prefers it to a genie or Iron Man rip-off superhero. Shaq has played Shaq in CB4, Good Burger, He Got Game, After the Sunset, The Kid & I, The House Bunny, and When in Rome. No one captures the essence of Shaq like Shaq can, which is why Sandler came to him for the Shaq role in his new comedy.
Regarding the film, Adam Sandler plays twins and one of them is a girl. Do I really need to go into anymore detail or have your eyes permanently rolled into the back of your skull? Shaq joins Katie Holmes and Al Pacino, who have already agreed to take a check for appearing in this inevitable sh*t sandwich. And don't get all pissed at me about Sandler. I used to love the guy in Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, but Grown Ups really took a toll on my emotional psyche. Never have I wanted an actor to devolve so badly and return to speaking gibberish. (TheWrap)
Character actor extraordinaire Danny Trejo is back (for about the 30th time this year) in the Mexploitation movie Machete. A lot of his movie roles have reflected his life with drugs, boxing, and prison. He might have the largest character résumé in Hollywood today.
Rising stars Teresa Palmer and Joel Edgerton are returning to Australia for some reason. The actors have signed on for the Australian film Say Nothing. They star as a young couple who keep their traps shut after their friend goes missing during a group vacation to South East Asia. It took some time, but I'm glad they finally got around to making a less-talky version of Say Anything. If the silent boombox scene doesn't melt your heart, you're black inside. (Moviehole)
Jonathan Liebesman will direct Clash of the Titans II, Coming Soon is reporting. Liebesman, who also directed the upcoming Battle: Los Angeles, will most likely be joined by Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton, who both starred in the first installment. Unlike the first film, which was retrofitted, the sequel will be shot entirely in 3D. Also, unlike the first film, Clash of the Titans II will supposedly have a plot mapped out before shooting begins.
(Spoiler Alert) Hopefully this sequel will avoid some of the pitfalls of its predecessor. For example, one of the worst scenes from Clash of the Titans was the ending, when Zeus randomly resurrected a character who had died earlier in the film. Resurrection? Talk about an unbelievable cop out? No wonder no one worships Zeus anymore.
Sure, the grammar is incorrect, but the fail is spot on.

The guys who produced the whimsical, yet tragic, Total Recall: The Musical are back with two new productions that'll have you cheering in your box seats. Robocop: The Musical and Terminator 2: The Opera are probably my favorite renditions thus far by Jon and Al. They've managed to keep both of the videos under four minutes, so they don't overstay their welcome. If they could stage a live production these guys would take Broadway by storm. (ToplessRobot)

David Slade would be wise not to decorate his home office with Wolverine action figures just yet. Though it was believed that the helmer of Hard Candy and assorted vampire movies was a shoe-in for the Wolverine Goes To Japan directing gig, a new contendor has emerged. Granted, he's a highly-unlikely candidate, but Darren Aronofsky's hat has somehow been thrown into the ring. Whether he threw that hat himself, or some neighbor kid bully threw it in the ring just to be a jerk remains to be seen.
Given Aronofsky's body of work, I'm going to go ahead and rule him out. The X-Men films have been twisted into goofy, popcorn wannabe-action films, and Wolverine is no exception. Though if anyone could lend some gravity to the material, it's Aronofsky. Look what he did for Marlon Wayans. (Deadline)
Now that Jeremy Renner has been cast to distract from the fact that box office poison Tom Cruise is appearing in Mission: Impossible 4, it's time to figure out which skinny actress will be running around and firing Uzi's that somehow don't shatter her wrist. And the contenders are Hostel 2's Lauren German, Streetfighter's Kristin Kreuk, and Alan Thicke's daughter-in-law Paula Patton.
The three actresses are all testing for the role of a female operative in the Brad Bird-helmed sequel. Nothing more is known about the character beyond that description, but let's assume she will wear a leather bodysuit. All the best spies do. (Deadline)
Previously on "True Blood": Sookie found out she's a fairy. Sam flashed back on a former life of crime. Eric prepared to go after, and probably get killed by, King Russell. Human kind reacted poorly to Russell killing a human anchor on-air. Arlene looked into mystical abortion. Jason admitted to Tara that he killed Eggs. Lafayette and Jesus dropped some V and had a shared vision of their voodoo relatives. Meth cook Crystal turned into a panther and broke into Jason's bedroom. Hoyt was attacked by Tommy in pit bull form and was saved by Jess. Eric made out with Sookie and then chained her up in his basement. Ok, on to this week.

These photos that a Collider reader snagged from Steven Spielberg's War Horse set will calm your Monday morning nerves. I've been casually flipping through them with Enya on in the background and the outside world has melted away.
We haven't told you much about the film since its lead protagonist is an equine and SJ caters to people, but basically a horse named Joey is sold to the army during WWI and it wants to get back to the farm boy owner it left behind. It's a love story between a man and a beast, but not a Tijuana strip club sort of way.

Now imagine this in color. And 3D.
Much like Godzilla, "The Pacific" producer Bruce C. McKenna is drawing upon his love of killing Japanese people again for his next project. McKenna has sold a pitch to Warner Bros. to develop The Battle Of Midway into a big-budget 3D war epic. Reported to have a budget somewhere in the $200 million range, expect this recount of the historic air and sea battle to be a big one.

They'll get on that ass-kicking right after bath time.
Bradley Cooper and Ryan Reynolds are teaming up to make the mean streets of San Francisco just a little safer for San Franciscans. The two actors who share a fondness for going shirtless are attached to star in an untitled original action-comedy written by Sheldon Turner (Up in the Air). THR has the rundown:
The story follows two friends, who are also San Francisco cops, whose fathers were once partners on the police force. The older generation is forced out of retirement to help their sons crack a case, with typically antagonistic results.
The actioner is meant to have an updated "Lethal Weapon" flavor that plays into edgier R-rated territory.
The pairing of Cooper and Reynolds I'm sure will be a lot of fun, but now I wanna know who's gonna play the daddies. The studio has the opportunity to put together a sweet actioner with two charismatic leads and two gruff middle-aged men as their fathers. It's too bad neither Cooper nor Reynolds is black or I would suggest Danny Glover. As both dads. He'd be getting seriously too old for this fighting crime with my twin sh*t.
Last week's breakdown of the new fall TV shows focused on sitcoms about couples. This week I'm sticking with the funny shows, but looking at the ones that are set in the workplace. There are surprisingly few of these — two to be exact — but one is worth checking out. While the other you might want to call in sick for.
WATCH IT: "Mr. Sunshine" (ABC), Midseason
ScreenJunkies caught up with Stanley Tucci at the press junket for Easy A. When not answering questions about the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne or how good Emma Stone smells, the Tooch talked a bit about his role as Dr. Erskine in Marvel's Captain America.
Yeah, I don't look like that character as drawn originally. The character as drawn originally is a very big, sort of square-headed, square-shouldered guy with a big white moustache and a huge thing of hair. I don't look like that. We chose to, I have a scruffy beard that we grayed even more than mine is gray, and like white hair here [above the ears], sort of longish and then glasses and a German accent.
In other words, something like this:
If you listen closely, you can hear Christopher Lloyd firing his agent off in the distance.
Twentieth Century Fox is putting together a cast for their latest version of the Fantastic Four, and Bruce Willis is reportedly at the top of their list to play the Thing. But Screen Rant is reporting that Kiefer Sutherland is also in contention for the role.
Since the character will be completely CGI, whoever is cast will be utilized primarily for voice over work. However, the actor will also make an appearance early on in the film as Ben Grimm, the Thing's identity before he was transformed into a rock monster.
Personally, I'm torn between the two actors. Both are more than qualified to play a pile of rocks. However, I give the slight edge to Kiefer since he's spent a good portion of his life "stoned."
Sorry. It's been a rough weekend.
And the big winners are…
"Sitcom" and "Drama" ruled the 2010 Emmys, with "Sitcom" taking home the Emmy for best comedy series, while "Drama" took home the Emmy for best drama.
The night's other big winners included actor, who won an Emmy for his role in "Drama," and actress, who took home the award for best actress in a comedy series.
Highlights from the show included new Conan performing pointless skits, and singer singing a melodramatic song. (Collider)
See a list of all the Emmy winners I copied from another website after the jump.
Hey, everybody! James Cameron has something important to say about the dangers of using 3D technology in an inappropriate manner, so listen up!
I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but (Piranha 3D) is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D. When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip.
First of all, comparing Piranha 3D to Friday the 13th Part III is like comparing Kim Kardashian to the cast of "The View." Both are incredibly stupid, but one is still fun to watch if you're in the mood (for porn). Piranha 3D knew what it was supposed to be, and it hit the mark. Critics agree, and its Rotten Tomatoes ranking rivals that of Avatar (not that the two movies should be compared). Why should a film that is meant to be nothing more than a fun, summer gore-fest be excluded from using 3D technology? Not every 3D film needs to be a smug, ham-fisted retread of Dances with Wolves.
Second, if you want to talk about squeezing blood from a turnip, how about Avatar Special Edition, which is charging fans roughly $15 dollars to see a movie that was still in theaters less than a year ago. Oh, let's not forget the eight minutes of extra footage, which comes out to about $2 per new minute. At the end of the day, if people want to pay $15 to see Avatar again, good for Cameron. But if those same people want to pay to see fish dismembering topless girls, who is he to judge? (Vanity Fair via Movie Line)
Back in February we reported that Justin Theroux was spending some time at Fashion Week in Paris doing research for his gig writing and directing the Zoolander sequel. It appears he's had his fill of brie-stuffed croissants and scantily clad models, and is back in The States collaborating with Ben Stiller. At least, that's what Stiller said via his Twitter account.
The question is, can you really trust the lead actor and executive producer on the film? And the answer to that question is yes. So for now, Zoolander 2 is moving along swimmingly with Jonah Hill still being eyed for the villain. No word yet if Owen Wilson will reprise his roll as Hansel, but Stiller has gone on record saying that the sequel couldn't be made without him. I assume that is due to Wilson being such an integral part of the Zoolander world, not because he has a penchant for spitefully burning down film sets. (/Film)

Neil Marshall has signed on to direct Underground, a horror thriller writen by David Cohen. The film will take place in "the world of gourmet underground supper clubs."
That doesn't sound very scary. I've been to more than a few supper clubs in Wisconsin, and the only thing I found frightening was the brownswager (a.k.a. liverwurst) and a few of the more obese patrons. There has to be more to this story…and there is!
According to producers, "the protagonist is an ambitious young chef who ventures into the terrifying underbelly of extreme cuisine."
Holy crap, what are they cooking that's so extreme! Now I'm scared! Sort of. Actually, to be honest, I kind of have a taste for brownswager. But I'll settle for this soylent green imitation brownswager, instead. I wonder what it's made of. (Deadline)
Quoth the Raven, "Herpity derp!"
John Cusack has announced via his Twitter that he will be playing all around bad boy Edgar Allan Poe in James McTeigue's thriller The Raven. The movie won't be about a guy in a room who keeps hearing strange knocking (Cusack already did that in 1408), but instead "a serial killer thriller in which the famed horror author would have to solve clues of a string of murders based on his stories."
Considering Poe wasn't a stranger to smoking a boat-load of opium for inspiration, I wonder if they'll incorporate that character trait into the film. Nothing would give me more pleasure than watching John Cusack stumbling around 1850s Baltimore stoned out of his gourd on barbiturates. It would be like a really old school episode of "The Wire."

|US 221 Blocked in Avery; Ingles Truck Crash
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 10 December 2012 16:04
Highways in Ashe and Avery were closed for due to two traffic accidents—both involving tractor trailer trucks—and injuries. The more serious traffic trouble was in Avery, where an Ingles truck ran off of US 221 just north of Stamey Branch Road, striking a utility pole, then flipping over on its side.
Part of the tractor trailer landed in the ditch, the rest across both lanes of Linville Falls Highway, with the first part of restoring traffic to deal with the downed utilities, according to trooper Boone of the SHP. He said that the Ingles truck had to be pulled from the ditch and manually unloaded before the truck could be taken away safely, and that took well into the evening. The Avery Sheriff's Department diverted traffic all afternoon, with help from the DOT and volunteer fire departments, with some traffic in passenger vehicles able to take one route, but trucks routed another due to the roads. Trooper Boone said that the driver of the truck suffered some cuts in the crash, and that the accident investigation is still underway.
In Ashe, a tractor trailer and van collided west of the Jeffersons on NC 88 west, and some injuries were reported in that crash, but the road was reopened in short order—the State Patrol investigating that crash.

Product Test: Drain Stopper
We bought the Snug Plug Drain Stopper at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 3.99.
It claims to fit in just about any sink drain and it just sets right in there. Our tester, Lindsay tried it out and thought it did a good job. You just push it down to stop the water from flowing and push it again to drain the sink.
Easy, cheap and it works. The Drain Stopper was given two thumbs up by our tester.
