Pizza robberies
I feel sorry for the guy who got robbed twice in one shift, but…I couldn’t help but laugh at him as well. Bad bad ninja.
Gnarls Barkley is hosting a haiku contest. “The poem can be based on the following themes: Solitude, Pineapple, or some mixture of both.”
Bit of the Premiere interview with the very cool Cillian Murphy. I was actually skimming through that issue, but I didn’t notice him until I rechecked it later. Probably because he had facial hair in the magazine picture, and Cillian + beard = aack. But now I must read that article.
Found cool facts on his IMDB page a while back.
For example: He plays (drums, I've heard) in a Frank Zappa-influenced band called 'Sons of Mr. Greengenes'.
He was planning a career in law until he discovered the world of acting.
He is the most nominated Irish Actor at the Irish Film and Television Awards.
He greatly admires actor Liam Neeson. Looks at him as a surrogate movie dad.
Is fluent in French and Irish. Is that Celtic or Gaelic or something?
Quotes
“I'd probably have been wealthier if I had stayed with law, but pretty miserable doing it."
Re: Red Eye: "I don't know if anyone will ever sit beside me on a plane again."
If you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don't, they won't. There's not much to write about me in the tabloids."
“Making movies is a lot of work. Let's take some risks.”
I remember him saying why women were the superior gender once. Hee
Side note: While Cillian will only return as The Scarecrow in the Batman movie to be made after The Dark Knight, Katie Holmes will not return at all! Rumors say Maggie Gyllenhaal will replace Holmes as Rachel Dawes.
Thursday night TV:
Smallville - The unwelcome return of Lanaville, which was totally made up for by the Clexy invite scene. -me dead from slash-
Supernatural was pretty good, if too quiet. Something about the pace was too slow and quiet for this show. But there were some great scenes, and Demon!Sam was very interesting.
I just watched The Descent and that movie made me scared and sad at the same time. When the cave monsters started jumping on the protagonist, I screamed "Get off her!" and then burst into tears. Maybe my cold was partly to blame. Anyways, the movie inspired me to get some screen caps and make some icons, including my new bloody scream default icon.
Check out my new rotation of icons here! I’m still keeping Peter Lorre and the TheoRobin Arsenal one for now.
Ha! Becks scored! I was watching the highlights, and Canna hugged him first, while Capello gave his squinty short clap. In your face, Capello!
Bremen lost 4-1 to Stuttgart, which is very sad, but at least it wasn’t Schalke!
On Deutsche Welle, Stuttgart’s coach said that Bremen is still the best team in the Bundesliga, and Mario Gomez seemed genuinely praiseworthy of Miroslav Klose’s awesomeness, so that’s alright. But at least Diego, my Bremen Brazilian, scored. For that, I use the icon above.
Took break to watch Telemundo’s tape of France vs. Argentina. While I knew that my bleus would lose, it was still interesting to watch. And Franck was still goodness.
Yay Arsenal!
Today I watched my Mexican team, Toluca, tie 2-2 with Pumas. Pumas made some nice long goals, so I won’t argue with that. Da Silva then Sanchez scored for us. It was a bit disappointing that Sanchez didn't do one of his cuter goal celebrations, but at least he's got variety. But they are so missing Marioni. -sniff-
Viagreeniebach:
Arsenal enter partnership with Colorado Rapids.
Wenger: United States is a big interest for us. "When you love football, it's difficult to accept that it's taken off everywhere but the States."
Woo Wenger!
I was cruising the net for info on Heroes, and I found out that Jimmy Jean Louis, who plays the Haitian, is really from Haiti. He used to work as a model and dancer…which is kind of funny, considering the character he plays now
Via the TWOP forums: This article makes me just angry.
It starts out with the idea that shows like Lost or Heroes that deal with the supernatural are a sign (though exactly not a cause) of social decline.
“By itself, “Lost” may not be a harbinger of the decline of Western civilization. But alongside “Heroes,” as well as “Medium,” “Ghost Whisperer” and “Raines,” a new NBC drama that begins in March and stars Jeff Goldblum as a detective who solves murders by appearing to commune with dead victims, the collapse looks pretty darn nigh.”
She goes on to explain and complain about Lost, which I can understand but don’t agree with. Still okay. Then…well, you see for yourself.
““Lost” is at heart a science-fiction thriller, while “Heroes” is more of a comic book, but both genres have a similar appeal: they provide an alternative society for those who don’t fit comfortably into their own. (That is to say, smart, socially awkward adults and all 12-year-old boys.)”
Okay. That parenthetical? Ugh.
““Heroes,” which, like “Lost,” has a large cast and plotlines that zigzag and splinter, is intentionally ZOWIE! and KAPOW! Isaac even paints his premonitory visions in the style of graphic novels.”
Oh my gosh she just did not pull the “Zowie” card. I thought that was banished from professional journalism like, ten years ago.
“Yet “Lost” seems less like a sprawling, serialized 19th-century novel than like “American Idol”: the show’s writers and producers are so responsive to public reaction that viewers may as well be voting characters on and off the island by phone and text message.”
Haaaaaaaa…if that was completely true, half the people would be killed off by now.
“(“Heroes,” on the other hand, seems most responsive to the demands of NBC’s promotional department. Every new phase in the story comes with a coy slogan, from “Save the Cheerleader” and “Are You on the List?” to the latest, “Who’s Claire’s Daddy?”)”
It’s not the show’s fault if the promo department takes the episode they receive and then go slogan-crazy. You could do the same thing with just about any show.
The article ends with a discussion of these shows’ relevance to current issues like terrorism. So…don’t many dramas do that nowadays?
Oh, and this isn’t a regular news article with the lead and details later. It’s an essay. It needs a proper conclusion, not some ambiguous anticlimax.
I just have two things to say:
I think that a great draw for supernatural shows is that there is more at stake (Conspiracies! Minds! Save the World!) than the usual sitcom or law/medical/cop show, save the Extra Special Episode.
And, ever since the beginning of time, man has created stories with supernatural elements.
I leave this with a comment from Theatrehippy posted on the TWOP forums. (oh, she’s using quotes from an online forum! Look how withdrawn from society these fans are!)
“Well, if I listen to the NY Times, I must realize that I am contributing to the decline of civilization. I have always and will always love supernatural/preternatural stories. I suppose I was wrong in assuming that scifi/fantasy promoted creativity and thinking outside the box. My bad. Had I known it was a sign of the decline of mankind, I might've decided to enjoy soap operas and talk shows.”
Hey, even soap operas have supernatural storylines now.
Reminds me of somethingsoleta_nf posted about if geeky/comic-book style shows are becoming more accepted.
Just some quick ideas about the subject:
1) acceptance of internet makes it easier for those interested to explore these shows
2) geeks are becoming the TV creators
3) power of the niche
4) seek fantasy and escape
5) people have more patience with the long storylines these types of shows tend to have
Oh, I am forever grateful toella_ventic for transcribing the episode commentaries for the latest Heroes episode, “Distractions.”

My comments in italics
Zachary Quinto: That’s awesome, dude.
Oh my gosh! Sylar talks like us! Heee
When talking about the scene with Peter and Claude invisible in the street:
Milo Ventimiglia: Yeah. The hard part was, they were kind of gunning for you. As quickly as they can. Like, they’re, they’re really going in a direction to hit you.
Zachary Quinto (creepily): Jessica...
Milo Ventimiglia: (laughs)
Zachary Quinto (still with the creepy): …I want to meet her…
Sylar vs. Jessica would be awesome.
Zachary Quinto: See, that freaked me out so bad, I was standing right there when the stunt guy went off the air… he, it was on the air-compressed catapult…
Milo Ventimiglia: Air… yeah.
Zachary Quinto: …and it freaked me out. Every time.
He gets freaked out! More hee…
Zachary Quinto: Yeah, yeah, this set’s rad.
Rad? -laughs-
Zachary Quinto (laughing): I love what they do when, when we’re seeing, like, an early cut of it and they haven’t done ADR yet?
Milo Ventimiglia: Oh, yeah.
Zachary Quinto: And, like, a random voice comes in?
Milo Ventimiglia: From the editors, like, trying to be, like, Sylar…
Zachary Quinto: And they’re like, (high, not-at-all-dramatic, apparently editor-y voice) “How do you know?”
Milo Ventimiglia: What was that one line you had, in the jail cell with me? “You don’t, you don’t…”
Zachary Quinto (now ultra-deep and Sylar-y): “You don’t know anything about power.”
Milo Ventimiglia: “… know anything about power.” It was just, it was like Dawn, or Mike: (ultra-nerdy, nasally voice): “You don’t know anything about power!”
Milo Ventimiglia: God, how intregal all those, all those paintings are. (transcriber’s note: um, that’s a [sic]. Yes, he pronounced it “intregal.”)
Bad Milo! Bad!
Zachary Quinto: Tim Sale’s, like, you know, like an extra cast member.
Milo Ventimiglia: He really is.
Yay Tim Sale appreciation!
Milo Ventimiglia: And in that last episode, too, she’s like, has the cigarette, has the fingers…
Zachary Quinto: (makes flames-erupting whooshing noise)
Oh my gosh. I thought I was the only one who made noises! My friend even wrote in my yearbook that “you come with your own sound effects.” Nice to see there’s another crazy out there.
Milo Ventimiglia: Like, I always look at that nice, warm, golden glow on Suresh, and think, “Wow....”
Zachary Quinto: Mm-hm. (laughs) Oh, yeah. “You know, I kind of want that.”
Milo Ventimiglia: (laughs) “He’s got a warm friendly light around him. Why is Peter so cold and dark?”
hah…don’t feed the slashers!
Zachary Quinto: Rip it up, Takei, rip it up! (Hiro’s father rips up the painting)
Talking about The Creepy:
Greg Grunberg: You know, some people just have it.
Zachary Quinto: It just exudes from my pores.
Greg Grunberg: Yeah. Creep.
Zachary Quinto: Creepy.
Greg Grunberg: Yeah. …Mayonnaise exudes from my pores.
Zachary Quinto: (laughs) I can’t keep up with you, Grunny.
Joking about a some hot tub place:
Greg Grunberg: My mom… my mom made a fortune there!
Zachary Quinto: Whoa, now.
(Zach makes stapling noises)
Yay! Again with the noises!
Greg Grunberg: They have the best chocolate milk and brownies…
Zachary Quinto: At Primatech Paper.
Zachary Quinto: I absolutely adore scenes with vegetables in them.
Greg Grunberg: So I’m trying to get a Primatech Paper hat.
Greg Grunberg: Hm. Well, I’ve seen you in your trailer.
Zachary Quinto: That was Lucky Charms. Mixed in with brains.
Greg Grunberg (laughing): Lucky Charms…
Zachary Quinto: And then Jack…! (main video: HRG bursts in, shooting) BOOM!
HRG bust-in appreciation! And more sound effects! I want to hang out with Zachary Quinto now.
Greg Grunberg: This is so cool. This is how every act should end. Fantastic. You’re fantastic.
Zachary Quinto: You’re fantastic.
Greg Grunberg: We’re fantastic.
Zachary Quinto: You’re fant…
(fade out)
They’re fantastic!
Jack Coleman: And the light, as usual, is extraordinary.
Jeannot Szwarc: Yes. And this, as a matter of fact, we shot just before sunset. Yeah, that golden hour.
Greg Grunberg (at the same time): Yeah, it’s that golden hour.
Jack Coleman (at the same time): Golden hour! Golden hour’s, like about twelve minutes, isn’t it?
If you’ve ever tried to film something outside, you’d understand.
Greg Grunberg: Whatever. You like him clean, you like him dirty. That’s your business, Jack.
What did I tell you about feeding the slashers!
Jack Coleman: Well, as you know, now, I’ve just recently done a scene in Japanese, we won’t get into any details on it, but… and Yumi helped me a lot on that. As did Masi. (whispers) It’s not easy, though.
HRG in Japanese? Awesome!
Greg Grunberg: Whoaa… come on!
Jack Coleman: Here we go. Here we go.
Greg Grunberg: Wow.
Jack Coleman: Something better happen. Oh no…
Greg Grunberg: Wow!
(main video: Peter slams into the taxicab)
Oh! Come on!
Jack Coleman: Oh!
Greg Grunberg: That was incredible. Wow!
Jeannot Szwarc: Wow.
Jack Coleman: That did not, do you know, that did not end well. What happened.
Greg Grunberg: That’s incredible. That’s fantastic.
