Eragon thread
Time
So is anyone here planning on seeing the film adaptation of the book Eragon?

For that matter, has anyone here read - or plan on reading - the original book of Eragon?

I haven't read the book myself, but I'll probably see it anyway, even if ends up just being dismissed as a poor man's Lord of the Rings.

Lindsay Lohan to play Stevie Nicks?
Time
From the IMDB rumor mill 11/29/2006 -

[quote]
Lindsay Lohan is the favorite to play the lead in an upcoming film about Stevie Nicks. The Mean Girls star will act and sing in the movie, which will focus on the Fleetwood Mac star's wild years in the late 1970s and early 1980s. An industry insider tells American publication Life & Style, "She feels like she's found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac's fame. Lindsay loves the music of that era, and people have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie's." Lohan, who also hopes to produce the biopic, even has a leading man in mind - her Chapter 27 co-star Jared Leto, who is slated to play Nicks' on/off lover Lindsey Buckingham.

I hope it's not true.

Star Bored: A New Joke

Parody of Star Wars: A New Hope using Tiny Toon Adventures characters. Really amazing - this guy redrew almost every single frame of ST:ANH and put the Tiny Toon characters in there. To quote Darth Vader: "Impressive. Most Impressive." Also includes a sequel site; The Empire Strikes Out.

Sigh. Well, at least he hasn't made Gandalf shoot first in the original DVDs. Shame. I WAS looking forward to this movie. Ah, well. I suppose that there are other moives I could watch instead.


This is very bad news. Not as bad as hearing that Robert Altman died (Rest In Peace, Rob) but still bad for the Tolkien film franchise.

Don't forget his great performance in Batman!

One of his that I've heard a lot about but haven't seen is Robert Aldrich's The Big Knife, with Rod Steiger. I'd love to watch that one, I hear they're both great in it.


I thought the role that really defined him was his role in Shane.

Rest In Peace, Jack Palance
Time
It is my sad duty to inform you that actor Jack Palance has died at the age of 87. http://movies.msn.com/movies/article.aspx?news=241327>1=7701&vv=410


LOS ANGELES -- Jack Palance, the craggy-faced menace in "Shane," "Sudden Fear" and other films who turned to comedy at 70 with his Oscar-winning self-parody in "City Slickers," died Friday.

Palance died of natural causes at his home in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by family, said spokesman Dick Guttman. Palance was 85 according to Associated Press records, but his family gave his age as 87.

When Palance accepted his Oscar for best supporting actor he delighted viewers of the 1992 Academy Awards by dropping to the stage and performing one-armed push-ups to demonstrate his physical prowess.

"That's nothing, really," he said slyly. "As far as two-handed push-ups, you can do that all night, and it doesn't make a difference whether she's there or not."

That year's Oscar host, Billy Crystal, turned the moment into a running joke, making increasingly outlandish remarks about Palance's accomplishments throughout the night's awards presentations.

I'm doing inter-disciplinary studies of film and writing, but I should have just been a theatre major. Would have felt more focused I think.

I hate that we had to put our oldest dog to sleep. He was 15, had tumors sticking out of his leg and around his stomach, had arthritis and could no longer stand up and walk under his own power, so putting him down and out of his misery was probably the most humane thing we could do for him, but I still hate that we had to do it. And I'm not even a pet person.
