American Gangster is the leader in DVD sales, even beating out George Clooney's Michael Clayton !! Yay! Ag is the leader in rentals as well. I read that AG's overseas screen earnings have surpassed the US take, as well. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080228/film_nm/dvd_dc;_ylt=AoIG1_t_mGS4dY3aevqVzzRxFb8C "Either you "get" him, or you don't"

That bit of news yesterday about the animated Harland Williams film is pure "I wish." Russell has never heard of it. While I had no idea as to whether Russell was involved, other than reading that blog report, I thought it very odd that the HW film wasn't mentioned in any of the media reports about Dreamwork's Animation film re-scheduling [I posted one piece yesterday, I think] for the next two years. It takes a long time for animated films to go from conception to release. I've read that it's usually several years. ---------------------------- By the way... as I make my way around Yuku... trying things out as I have time, I've learned that old ezmessages I had saved have disappeared into the vapors.

This should've been nominated along with Yuma. It just shows how out of touch AMPAS with the public. And they are wondering why Oscar ratings are dipping lower and lower each year. re: Atlas Shrugged, meh this movie sounds BORING . I hope RC doesn't do it. And I can't stand that Skankelina Jolie, sorry AJ fans. I'd rather he do The Hobbit or Halo movie than this.

To be fair to Harland Williams, it was never he who mentioned Russell, that casting info came from some site called Movie Insider, who knows where they got it....or made it up. LOL! However, he didn't shoot down the Atlas Shrugged info, so I'm guessing he at least has read the script and may be thinking about it. I have cable, so no Setanta available here. IF I could get the games streaming on my computer, that'd be great, but I probably still wouldn't watch them all as most come on at 1 or 2 in the morning for me. The games I usually/listen to are the afternoon games. If they were on my TV, though, I'd watch games from the other teams as well as the Bunnies, or TiVo them, depending on the time. Thanks for the great news on the AG DVD sales, BC. That is pretty fantastic, both sales and rentals. Color me beaming, for no reason, as I had nothing to do with the movie, LOL! But two #1s for Russell this year, at the B.O. and at the sales and rentals charts, makes me a very happy little Bunny.

There was Braith Anasta, Reni Maitua, Terry Hill, Craig Field, Jim Dymock and Ian Roberts. But now, under the club's new regime, Souths' local stars are finally staying put in Redfern. Yesterday, just before tomorrow night's Charity Shield match against St George Illawarra at ANZ Stadium, lock John Sutton signed a new three-year extension and will not be off contract until the end of 2011. Sutton, 23, never wanted to leave Souths, saying: "I'm very happy. Hopefully now I can play some good footy. "I never wanted to go to another club, not the way the club is going with (co-owners) Russell (Crowe) and Peter (Holmes a Court). "I'm a Souths junior and the club has a lot of good young kids coming through. "Craig Wing is now here and we have a few old heads in Roy Asotasi and David Kidwell." Sutton's manager Steve Gillis confirmed his client was head-hunted by rival clubs. "John had received expressions of interest from three Sydney clubs but he told me it was always his priority to stay at Souths," Gillis said. "He simply loves the place. "His goal this year is to crack representative footy and I have never seen him so determined. "The club has commented on how well he has done this pre-season and we are all expecting big things." Sutton said the Charity Shield will present the ideal hit-out before a round one game against neighbours the Sydney Roosters. "It is just good to be back playing again," he said. "It was hard over summer when we trained but weren't playing at the end of the week. "All the players get into the Charity Shield, as does the crowd. That gets everyone fired up." Holmes a Court was delighted Sutton has decided to remain at Redfern. "We're not buying back the farm. We are keeping our best and brightest. He is one of our juniors," he said. "When I first came to Souths, I was told John was the type of player that represented the future of rugby league. We are looking for John to have his biggest season."

Posts: 710 (Feb 28, 2008 11:12 AM) Ornery Bucker More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Oh Anne, what a nice way to start the morning, thank you very much. sigh Flak, that Wallace and Grommit/Romper Stomper thing is seriously weird. I did laugh at Hando's voice coming out of Wallace's mouth, and scarily enough, the dialogue did occasionally fit. re: Atlas Shrugged, meh this movie sounds BORING . I hope RC doesn't do it. And I can't stand that Skankelina Jolie, sorry AJ fans. I'd rather he do The Hobbit or Halo movie than this. Bite thee tongue, woman! LOL Atlas would be a controversial movie, but I just can't imagine how it would be boring. A Halo movie, now that's a snoozer. grin Seriously, whether you like the book or not, Hank Reardon is a character that would allow Russell to make magic, it would really showcase the things he is so good at doing. LVMARIE, do you want to start a thread over in books and we can just see how it goes? People may not want to tackle a long book unless they are sure Russell is going to take the part, and it doesn't sound like that decision is imminent. In fact, we don't really know if he's even considering it. I do hope so, if the script is good. I got out to see In Bruges yesterday and enjoyed it a lot. It made me snortlaugh and kept me nicely off balance, and Colin (and Gleeson) were quite good in it, I thought. I'm very tickled about the BO/Rentals on Yuma and AG. I haven't gotten to hear the directors' commentaries on either yet, so I still have something "new" to watch here at home if I get a slow day.

Posts: 3103 (Feb 28, 2008 11:21 AM) Pic Slut More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Forgot to watch that Wallace and Grommit vid, thanks for the reminder, LOL! I'm hoping In Bruges shows up here this weekend, I've been waiting for it. Loved the trailer, it looked intriguing and I like Colin, Brendan and Ralph F. I've listened to about half Ridley's commentary on AG, it's interesting but not as interesting as the ones with Glad or Blade Runner. Here's a little tidbit from a blogger who had an early interview with Russell. (Virtuosity) This woulda been me, and I woulda been caught. http://paula-greatstories.blogspot.com/2008/02/random-things.html 2. Russell Crowe caught me helping myself to his afternoon tea. This was a few years back (pre Oscar nominations), when he was doing the press rounds for Virtuosity. I was waiting in the hotel room for my 15 minutes of one-on-one interview time. Unfortunately, I'd been left alone with a table full of food, and, when he didn't emerge after about 20 minutes, decided he wouldn't notice if I helped myself to one of his tasty snacks. Naturally, he walked in while I was stuffing my face with a pikelet. The funny thing was, he came in wearing jeans, a flannelette shirt and a three-day growth, and looked uncannily like one of my brothers. And that was why - despite knowing his reputation for not liking journos at the best of times - I cracked up laughing at my predicament instead of grovelling at his feet for forgiveness. To his credit, he graciously ignored my faux pax and gave a surprisingly relaxed interview.

Posts: 10406 (Feb 28, 2008 11:41 AM) Nancy Drew Redux More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I'm so glad you enjoyed In Bruges, sec. I agree about Atlas Shrugged... I think I'll wait to read it [having so many other books waiting my attention] until we get some confirmation whether Russell is on board. His practice, I've noticed, is to let Murph know if he's NOT doing something or hasn't even heard of it ... but stays quiet about what he is considering. And that's wise.. projects get sidelined and never come to full fruition ... and negotiations can be full of pitfalls and difficulties. ----------------------- I found a couple interesting things to share... first, from a message at the SoP imdb message board Re: DC Extras Casting by priscilla-hopkins 18 hours ago (Wed Feb 27 2008 14:07:07) Ignore this User \| Report Abuse They told me it may take even longer to hear back, so not to get discouraged. They'll be shooting in March and April and second.. From Variety, yesterday. No mention of Nottingham, but it's a picture of concern, I'd say. Still... as this article makes clear, some of the big films are going ahead anyway, but making contingency plans.

Beats the bejesus out of me, sec, According to Wikipedia, it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikelet In Australia, New Zealand, and the English Midlands and parts of the north, a small, thick colonial-style pancake, known in parts of Britain as a drop-scone or Scotch pancake. See Pancake. If it's anything like a scone, I'd like it. Hmm, sec, that's an interesting bit about Maxim. I wonder if it's some sort of a payola deal from the studio, just plain laziness, or a simple error. Somehow, when there are journalists involved, I'm not buying the simple mistake excuse.

The one I got on the way back from Jax lasted way too long for me. Maybe you should stay home a couple of more days, if possible. I drank gallons of hot tea, chicken soup and NyQuil (well, not gallons of that, lol). Alikin, huh? You broke your nose last night? How the heck did you do that?

I just mopped up the mess and got the bleeding to sorta stop. I called an ENT doctor this AM and got an appt for Monday. They don't want to see you for 3 to 5 days until the swelling goes down (learned that through past experience...twice ) I don't have much pain unless I bend over or touch it.

But I guess all's not lost when you can make jokes about it. Get better soon! Anne, get well soon! Stay home as long as you can, that's the best cure! Great news about AG sales and rentals. I'm going watch Michael Clayton and Vantage Point this Sunday. I'm really looking forward to it. As far as the cast is concerned, I'll say this: Russell is going to be an absolutely AWESOME and perfect Cal McCaffrey and Ben is a PERFECT choice for the politician. Now I see what you meant about us rarely agreeing on stuff movie-wise! But see, you couldn't stop watching it, could you? It makes me sad to think about how stripped-down and bare-boned the film version will be....
