I thought the Olympics ended today??  It does. Today ain't over yet. Oops, I was referring to Geoff's post above. Had I been astute I would have seen it was posted yesterday.  I am glad tho that regular programming will be back on. TIS

SB, Did you watch "News Room" yesterday? I am still getting use to the style of the show for some reason. Yet, every week they seem to hit on something that that I actually have gripes about and agree with, like last night's theme about the media and the Casey Anthony trial HAVING to be top story. Anyway, did you hear them say there are only 2 more episodes left of the season? WTF??  Good God, it just started. I don't think they've had a total of 10 episodes if that. That's one thing I don't like about these cable (HBO) shows. Seasons are way too short and the time between season sis way too long. TIS

OMG... as I posted on Facebook: 'Snooki & JWoww' finds a home - in Ocean County
MANCHESTER — A very pregnant Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and her friend Jennifer “JWoww” Farley finally have a home — at least for the next few weeks.
The pair are slated to tape their “Jersey Shore” spinoff show “Snooki & JWoww” at a home on Johnson Avenue, Mayor Michael Fressola said. Taping begins in a couple of days.
[More at the link above]
I know where this house is -- it's 3 minutes from my parents' and 15 minutes from me. They're west of me, and Seaside is about the same distance to the east. Holy crap, we gotta deal with this chit now? Oy. It literally is in the middle of nothing but Senior Citizen developments on one side, a strip mall, plenty of woods, and rural land with some developments of "McMansions" mixed in. There is literally no place nearby for them to "party", so I guess they'll be even closer to me. Or they'll have to "commute" to nearby shore towns besides Seaside. PS - I never saw the first season, but I guess now I'll have to watch to see WTF they're up to in my backyard! lol

The first half of that movie is so good. Will Smith is just so funny as the anti-superhero. Then the second half pretty much sucks. So, is RR right about why Hancock loses his powers? Yes.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Several years ago we had Jon and Kate and 8 in our neck of the woods. They were easy to spot as they dragged a camera crew the size of an army wherever they went. Best of luck to you.

SB, Checking "On Demand" I don't think Political Animals was on Sunday. I saw all the episodes listed. I love "White Collar" (it's on just before Covert Affairs, same channel, USA.) It's fun light entertainment and Matt Bomer is pretty easy on the eyes as well. TIS

Here's a random question about Die Hard 2, which I've seen several times.
Why didn't those planes circling the airport for an hour or two just decide to land at another airport? There are many other airports they could have reached even in the blizzard.
And if it was so easy to get them to land just by Bruce Willis lighting a trail of fuel with a cigarette lighter, why wasn't this done earlier on? Or bring in lights with a generator? (1) If I remember right, it was set in Christmas season right? I think it's said or assumed that the skies were totally crowded with planes from everywhere going everywhere, and they couldn't just park at say Baltimore because planes meant for those runways were backlogging in coming in and departing, and onwards to either. It's also convenient plotting, like how Bruce Willis just happens to need to catch the villains great escape and he runs into that news team, who also have their own helicopter at the airport. (Why?) Not criticism, just commentary. (2) Probably because the terrorists threatened to down more planes if they knew any such antics were happening. What keeps coming back to mind for me on DH2 (my least favorite entry of that series), is that climax the idea that Willis triumphs by lighting that leaked gas which then (in movie fashion) and somehow spread from the ground to the leaking liquids falling from the departed plane, which then catch the plane and KABLOOEY.

Thank you. Those points are interesting, especially the news crew.

Begin your dream fancastings, folks! Female "Expendables" movie comingJust as "The Expendables 2" explodes into theaters, Adi Shankar's banner 1984 Private Defense Contractors has tapped Dutch Southern to write an all-female riff on the star-studded action franchise. Shankar ("The Grey") will produce for 1984 Private Defense Contractors, which plans to fully finance the "Expendables"-inspired project. Company is already in talks with several prominent actresses affiliated with the action genre. 2012 has been a banner year for female-driven actioners like "The Hunger Games," "Snow White and the Huntsman" and the Gina Carano-toplined "Haywire." http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118058008

Seeing his name mentioned in the "A-List Movie Star" thread sparked the idea for mentioning this. Anyone see many movies with Shia LaBeouf? A couple years ago I caught the movie "Disturbia" (his first I think?) on tv and really enjoyed it. Later I saw a movie called "Eagle Eye" with him and really liked that. It kind of had a "Bourne" feel to it and I'm a huge Bourne fan so maybe that's why I got into it but it was very good. Of course he also had the role as the young Wall Street Rookie in "Wall Street Money Never Sleeps". I did enjoy that as well. Don't know anything much about his personal life but of the three movies I have seen with him I do think he's a possible up & coming. Anyone else agree? TIS

Case in point he was at Dreamworks, which of course is co-run by Steven Spielberg. The Beard directed Shia in the last Indiana Jones movie and he was the lead in those TRANSFORMERS movies that Spielberg produced, along with EAGLE EYE. From all accounts, the Beard was planning to ride his coattails long term. Then Shia said in an interview that said Indiana Jones movie sucked ("It dropped the ball") and well, the Beard was pissed. They're making a fourth TRANSFORMERS picture, but without Shia and even Shia has admitted that maybe he was stupid for saying that. You think?

RR, Didn't know any of that. I only saw previews of the Indiana Jones film, not the film itself. Hmmm! Thanks for the info. TIS
