  1. Evangeline Lilly Maggie Grace Elisha Cuthbert Scarlett Johannson Minka Kelly Unfortunately, Google Images won't let me get "small" pictures? Edit: I changed the pictures to not offend anyone. Not that they were bad, but some may have considered them NSFW. Plus, I think these are smaller.
  2. What are your thoughts on The Ben Stiller Show? I find a lot of the stuff that he did on there to be hilarious.

I know that I've seen them all, but l
  4. Re: Shakespeare In Love Well, that film beat out Saving Private Ryan AND The Thin Red Line. I'm sure the general assumption is that they cancelled each other out. But in my opinion both of those films are much better than Shakespeare. For me, The Thin Red Line is one of the most important films I've ever seen. I had never seen a war film like that. It still sticks with me today. I don't agree with every best picture winner, but I feel like a lot of times it's just making up for a missed call from the year prior. Take Million Dollar Baby. I feel Mystic River deserved to win in 2003, but o
  5. Re: TV Pilots in general. I'm giving Lost as an example. From IMDB: "The two-part pilot episode was the most expensive in ABC's history, reportedly costing between $10 million and $14 million. The average pilot is usually in the region of $4 million." "The first episode debuted on ABC with 18.65 million viewers. The second episode attracted 16.33 million viewers." Via New York Times & Hollywood Reporter: "Each airing of Leno costs about $350,000 to $400,000 versus up to $3 million for an hour-long drama, saving NBC $13 million each week without the network needing the show to beat its
  6. Before they take Leno off NBC at some point, the NBC big wigs should take over the time slot in fierce competition. Like those crazy Asian game shows. And lots of apologies.
  7. Right, Speed Racer. You know while reading this thread I realized that I don't watch any show at 10p.m. And the only shows that I watch on NBC are SNL, Community, Parks & Recreation, The Office, & 30 Rock. I have heard that JJ Abrams is producing a new tv show that is a cross between Mr. And Mrs. Smith and the Bourne Identity. I heard that NBC picked it up.
  8. Yes, I agree cryptique. But what if this was a great success? NBC could sit back in their cheap chairs laughing at the other big networks. I think that's what NBC thought would happen. I guess people were bred to believe that "late night" programming begins at 1130ish. LOL But I guess a produced drama or whatever's cost per episode vs. a week of the Leno show is quite a huge difference.
  9. Like I said it was a gamble. I think they saw that the 10pm time slot would cost them millions to produce a decent show. Now I don't have the exact figures in front of me, but picture they never had Leno on the air at 10p.m. Instead there are 5 shows M-F. If those shows don't generate enough viewers early on, then advertisers will begin to pull ads. Then NBC will feel compelled to cancel the show or move it to an earlier time slot. Look at what happened to Southland: they PRODUCED the fucking thing, all 13 episodes, and won't even show it. WTF! Talk about throwing money out the window. Luckily
  10. No problem. It's one of those age old questions that throws me for a loop. There's no way 5 cds are enough. So I don't bother sweating over it with a certain sense of it will never happen to me. But somewhere I know i'll find myself on an island. What's even harder for me would be what 5 DVDs would I bring with me?
  11. I'm not stoned. I looked at the topic and couldn't think of what to bring, since the person wanted non-Wilco cds. And I guess the bigger question is: Do we get to have unlimited batteries?
  12. U2 Achtung Baby R.E.M. Life's Rich Pageant Duran Duran Greatest (just for the inspiring Rio video while on a nice island) Pearl Jam No Code Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Fuck it, if I get rescued it HAS TO BE Duran Duran in their white outfits on the yacht with a bunch of hot chicks. And yes they need to be singing Rio. Edit: If that's how Lost ends then it'd be amazing! J.J. Abrams you sly dog you.
  13. Sadly, I don't like to fly anymore. So I don't really see me being stranded on a desert island. So I'd prefer an emoticon party on this island instead of cds. Plus, if you're listening to music all the time how will you hear the helicopter sent to rescue you.
  14. That being said I did go to 2 Tonight Show tapings while visiting Los Angeles. The 1st time was on March 17, 1998. He had on Matt Dillon, Michelle WIlliams, and Steve Earle. My mother yelled out Andover during someone's interview when the guest mentioned MA. We were living in Dracut, MA at the time which is next to Andover, Leno's hometown. So after the show he had his PA grab us and take a picture with him. Forgive me for my 1998 look. Then in 2006 I saw Ellen Degeneres and some 5 year old trumpet player. Can't remember who the hell the musical guests were? Something along the lines of Goo
  15. Going to read the 1st 2 pages later on. But I can honestly say that NBC won't be canceling his show this year (2009-2010). By the time they get something going production wise to fit into the time slots, it will be ready for the Fall 2010. NBC knew the gamble going in. They obviously did this to save millions by not producing expensive shows. It's pretty much like a white flag. They can't compete with the time slot until next year really anyways. Not to mention the guests are really lacking or misleading. His "biggest" guests seem to take part in the Ten At Ten segment from some remote lo
  16. One reason to love the cd artifact is for the booklet that I'm sure a lot of us have signed. I keep forgetting, along with Michael McDonald, that I have booklets signed by Ryan Adams and Jimmy Gnecco (Ours) to name a few. The others I can't remember because they're lost in my closet tucked away until I decide to take them out. I don't want to be that guy that gives a musician a cheap printout of iTunes artwork to autograph. I'd rather use a post it. And I have in fact! I had Tim Blake Nelson (Delmar in O Brother) sign a post it because that's all that I had to give him.
  17. http://www.ryanadamsarchive.com/torrents.php This is a pretty good link to begin with. I know that there's others that you can probably find through that links link page. I know that my best friend downloads/ed anything that he put/s out. I'll ask him what's top notch. For some reason the Pink Heart sessions come into my mind and Suicide Handbook? Wow, how some titles cease to be erased from one's memory. Unless, of course if I'm wrong. PS Said best friend got to open for Ryan in June of 2005 at the Starland Ballroom.(long story. I know it's posted on here somewhere by me) Check it out o
