Gifts were exchanged, pictures were taken and a big dinner with all the trimmings were served at Bonnie Phipps' house on Christmas. Bonnie said when they started taking pictures they put her in a chair and they all gathered around her then some would get out of the picture and others would get in it. Those present were Roy and Linda Freeman, Michael and Wendee Freeman, Cody, Matthew, Madison, Sydnee and Alexis, Ken and Debbie Cederlind, Chris and Courtnie Vigessa and Wylie, Moe and Kaylynn Todd, Cecilia Edwards and Bonnie Phipps.
Well, I think I told you last week that I was a great-grandma again on the 20th that makes her a week old now. Her name is Alexia Mae Blakey and she was named after her great grandmother Perryman (Alexis) and her great grandmother, Mary Alice Emerson and they took the first letter of her name to make Mae, but they didn't realize that her great-great grandmother, Cleffie Mae Blakey's middle name was Mae.
Jo Stephens came by last Monday and picked up some things that she had left down at the church last Sunday then that night I went over to the lodge hall where we had our O.E.S. meeting and it was our Christmas night too. We didn't exchange gifts, we gave money and then we gave it to the Masons and they matched it with their money and then they gave it to the school for shoes for the children.
Jewell Elliott and Jo Stephens came by last Tuesday and then I went over to the nursing home and ate dinner with Pauline Schauffler and her daughter and son-in-law, Evelyn and Don Bryan. The food was good and I got to visit with Roxie while I was there and took her a get-well card and a Christmas card.
Joel and Monica came up Wednesday night and got my car and took it down and Vernal and Ellen had new tires put on it for my Christmas present and I told them that it would be for my birthday too.
I put my Christmas tree up Thursday and Jo Stephens dropped off my turkey that she had in her deep freeze for me. Friday I put my light up in the window and I will leave them up until after New Years since I got them up late.
I got one-tenths of an inch of rain in my gage by 4 p.m. Friday evening. Sunday I went out and got my rain gage and melted what was in it and it was almost another one-tenths of an inch.
Christmas at my house was wonderful because I had all my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren except Chase. Gifts were exchanged then we ate dinner where we had turkey and ham with all the trimmings and lots of dessert.
When my new great granddaughter got here I got to hold her and she sure is a beautiful baby and that was the first time I had seen her in person.
There were 24 here – Joel and Monica Reemes, Mark and Sherry Blakey, Kelsey and Mark Weston, Chad and Laura Blakey, Vernal and Ellen Blakey and two dogs, Drango and Peppie, Ellis and Marsha Blakey, Johnathan and Annie and daughter, Alexia, James and Kristie Blakey, Lakota, Kendra Dering, Justin and Brittany Kutz, Justin and Tara Coonce and me, Hellen Blakey.
I received a big television from Mark and family earlier and it is nice and I got other things from the other kids, which I can use.
There are lots of sick folks out there in the hospital and at home so keep those prayers coming.
My prayer and sympathy goes out to the Mark Degase family and all the others who have lost a loved one.
Keep our nation and our leaders and the men and women in the service and their families and the ones in training in your prayers.
Happy New Year every one and I hope you had a good Christmas.

THE LITTLE MERMAID II: RETURN TO THE SEA (SPECIAL EDITION) Written by Mahamari Tsukitaka December 26, 2008 The Little Mermaid II, a sequel to the beloved 1989 Disney animated feature The Little Mermaid, was released as a direct-to-video DVD in 2000 and revolves around the teenage difficulties of Ariel and Prince Eric's human daughter Melody. In a complete role-reversal, Ariel plays the part of the concerned parent who curtails her daughter's seaward excursions in order to protect Melody from the dangers of the sea—namely the sea witch Ursula's scrawny sister Morgana who, like her late sister, covets King Triton's power and has no qualms against ransoming Melody's safety for his trident. The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea Special Edition is a December 16, 2008 re-release of the 2000 DVD with a few new bonuses, including a new game and a deleted song. Like the original Little Mermaid, Return to the Sea's theme is teenage uncertainty and rebellion—except, this time, Ariel (Jodi Benson) is the protective mom who bars her daughter from visiting the sea, and Melody (Tara Strong) is the spunky princess who will stop at nothing to explore the wondrous world she's been forbidden. Sebastian the crab (Samuel E. Wright) returns as the strict but ineffectual guardian, and other familiar characters—such as Flounder (Cam Clarke), Scuttle the seagull (Buddy Hackett), Prince Eric (Rob Paulsen), and Louis the chef (Rene Auberjonois)—also return to make brief appearances. If you or your child are a really big fan of the franchise, a rental could be worthwhile, but otherwise, you're probably just as well off leaving Ariel's future to your imagination.
Filmmaking: 6 In the end, despite the potential of its mirror-image premise, the plot plays out like a forced and tired retelling of the first Little Mermaid with cheesier characters and less memorable music. Maybe that's pretty much to be expected when it comes to these direct-to-video sequels, but the Christmas sequel that followed Disney's Beauty and the Beast proved that it can be done better. All things considered, Return to the Sea falls in at just about average for its ilk.
Visuals: 6
Sound: 7 The soundtrack is based on the Alan Menken's stellar score from the original The Little Mermaid, but it showcases the talents of a new set of composers and is a bit hit-or-miss. Even though they don't quite match the brilliance of the original themes, the background orchestrals in The Little Mermaid II are still fantastic and capture an adventurous and whimsical underwater feel. The songs, however, leave a bit to be desired and simply don't have the catchiness of the original's Broadway-worthy tunes.
Value: 6
Overall: 6.5 |

Poll: New Data Finds Majority of NJ and Country in Favor of More Gun Control
A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that 58 percent of New Jersey residents want stricter laws when it comes gun control in the state.
New Jersey and Americans throughout the county appear to be in favor of stricter gun control regulations, according to recent polls. A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that 58 percent of New Jersey residents want stricter gun laws when it comes to state regulation, compared to 8 percent calling for less gun control. The poll also found that: The Quinnipiac poll was conducted between Jan. 15 to 21 and surveyed 1,647 registered voters. However, when it came to what New Jersey residents believed were the most pressing problems facing the state, gun control ranked near the bottom. The economy received the top votes in that category, according to the poll. While New Jersey may have some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation…

Denver Nuggets forward Al Harrington underwent knee surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn meniscus that had plagued him for weeks, according to Aaron J. Lopez of Nuggets.com. Harrington had played 18 games, including the seven games against the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs, with the injury.
#Nuggets F Al Harrington had knee surgery today. He played 11 regular-season games and 7 playoff games with a torn meniscus. #gamer
— Aaron J. Lopez (@Lopez_Nuggets) May 16, 2012
During the regular season, Harrington averaged 14.2 PPG and 6.1 RPG over 27.5 MPG as one of Denver's key reserves. The knee injury clearly limited Harrington during the postseason, though, as he averaged just 9.7 PPG and 4.3 RPG while shooting an abysmal 32 percent from the field.

Downloadable Doctor of Physical Therapy Fact Sheet (PDF)
The Run 4 Rehab is a 5k (3.1-mile) run/2 mile walk hosted by the Governors State University Physical Therapy Student Association (PTSA).
The Third Annual Run 4 Rehab will be held Saturday, May 11, 2013.
Run 4 Rehab Course
The course is entirely contained on the campus of Governors State University, in University Park, IL. It starts and finishes near the main entrance to the school building on the south side. Please Note: Although there will be people directing traffic, this is NOT a closed course. Participants are expected to be aware of their surroundings and watch for any traffic that may be present.
Awards Awards will be presented to top overall males and females, as well as to the top three in each age group. Age groups are as follows:
Funds raised from the Run 4 Rehab will benefit the world of physical therapy in two ways: the PTSA and the Pittsburgh-Marquette Challenge.
The Miami-Marquette Challenge is a national competition between physical therapy schools to raise money. That money is then distributed as research grants to physical therapists around the country.
The PTSA is a student-run association at Governors State University. Its purpose is to familiarize and enhance the students with knowledge of and participation in professional organizations such as the American Physical Therapy Association, Illinois Physical Therapy Association, and other physical therapy-related special interest groups. It does this by developing and augmenting leadership skills, promoting service learning, and enhancing students' and the public knowledge of the physical therapy profession and Governors State University's physical therapy program.
If you choose to, there are several ways to show your support for this event.
The first is through participation; register online at www.active.com.
The second option is by sponsoring a runner. This allows a person who is unable to participate either because of physical or time limitations to support the PTSA and allow someone else the chance to participate. Persons can either choose who they want to sponsor or the PTSA will provide them with a participant.

Music Monday: Every Time I Die - "Turtles All the Way Down"
December 12, 2011
Following up with last week's Music Monday, we are going to keep it a little heavy. The song is called "Turtles All The Way Down" and it is by the Buffalo, NY band Every Time I Die.
I picked todays song for four reasons:
1. It's heavy
2. It's title references one of my favorite skeptical tougne-in-cheek quips as told by Steven Hawking about Bertrand Russle (True or not? I don't care.)
3. The song seems to be an obvious reference to Nietzsche's Übermensch.
4. It is quite likely that I will be seeing the band perform this Friday night after I am done with my finals.
Enjoy! I know I will!
If you get a chance, send your suggestions for future Music Mondays to me at email@example.com, leave a comment below, or @tweet us at @CFIOnCampus. Your suggestions, along with future and past songs, may end up in the official Course of Reason Music Monday Grooveshark playlist that anyone can listen to.

£2.5m sports academy plan for Burnley's Prairie fields (From Burnley and Pendle Citizen)

£2.5m sports academy plan for Burnley's Prairie fields
12:30pm Thursday 10th January 2013 in News By Peter Magill, Chief reporter
A NEW £2.56 million academy for football, rugby league and golf could be set to take shape on Burnley's Prairie playing fields.
Plans to redevelop the sprawling council-owned site, if successful, would feature a new artificial '3G' pitch, pavilion and golf driving range.
The feedback from two major funding bodies, Sport England and the Premier League Community Facilities Fund, has proved positive so far.
And the likes of Burnley FC, the Lancashire FA, the Rugby Football League, the English Golf Union and Golf Foundation, are all supporting the bid.
Coun John Harbour, the council's executive member for leisure and culture, said: "This is at a very early stage and much depends on successfully applying for funding.
"However, it's the right time to lay the foundations for this exciting project and to press ahead.
"This complex would add to Burnley's sporting facilities and, in particular, would help encourage young people to take up sport.
"The centre would be a major boost for the borough and an important investment in the area's sporting future."
Discussions have already taken place with officials at Burnley FC, councillors have been told, who are said to be keen to base their advanced training academy, centre of excellence for women and girls' football and disabled football programme there.
The golf practice range would also feature a grassroots coaching academy and the pavilion would benefit from a gym, sports studio and a golf pro shop.
Rugby league chiefs are also thought to be keen on developing the game – which has little existing presence in East Lancashire beyond the West Craven Warriors side and East Lancashire Lions amateur club in Darwen.
The 3G pitch would also be suitable for the likes of the American football side, the Burnley Tornadoes, according to an executive report.

How about spending some money at the other end of town for a change? Burnleywood, Daneshouse and Dukebar get millions thrown at them, whilst the rest of town who pay their council tax in full get nothing.

I never said it was at DukeBar I have lived in Burnley all my life and know where the boundaries lay. The point I was making is investment is always at the opposite end of town, Nothing gets spent this side of the M65 junction 10.

Two of the most iconic images in Americana, the Golden Arches and the mustachioed Monopoly Man (a.k.a. Rich Uncle Pennybags), are teaming up once again to offer McDonald's customers fun and prizes. Now in its 19th iteration, the game is incorporating online elements as it seeks to further distance itself from a controversial past.
To play, a customer purchases the items at McDonald's that offer a pull-off monopoly pieces. Some tickets carry instant-win prizes that range from menu items to large cash awards or even a car. Other game pieces can result in a prize through matching with certain other pieces; the rewards are even larger cash prizes (up to dollar $1 million), a 2012 Nissan Leaf; or even a Caribbean vacation.
This year, there is also an online game. Each game piece has an 11-digit code which can be entered online at www.playatmcd.com for "a second chance to win." In addition, each online play merits you one entry into a "sweepstakes," and every five meritts a player 10 sweepstakes entries. This final drawing, taken from all online entries, will bestow a car upon the winner, sometime in mid-November.
Interested parties can even request a free chance to play rather than purchasing food items at McDonald's. To do this, per McDonald's, simply mail "a legibly handwritten, self-addressed, stamped envelope with sufficient postage and a return address, including first and last name, street address, city, state, and ZIP or postal code to: 2011 MONOPOLY Game at McDonald's Game Piece Request, P.O. Box 49180, Strongsville, OH 44149-0180."
Between 1995 and 2000, an employee of the subcontractor McDonald's used to administrate the game was able to rig winners from the inside, resulting in about $24 million worth of fraudulent winnings in both the McDonald's Monopoly game and other contests.

What deep dark files did Billy uncover?!
Why, it's Paul Campbell running in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon!
You may have heard about this race because J-Lo ran it this year and got a lot of media attention. Paul ran the 4-mile leg of the triathlon as part of a relay team, raising money for "The Children's Lifesaving Foundation", an organization that provides services to at-risk and homeless children.
Oddly enough, I ran into Paul on the beach right before the race. I asked him if he had always been a runner and he almost nervously said "um, no!". But he did great. Deanna Russo is also a runner, so maybe he can get her out to the races as well some time and they can form a full Knight Rider team. (I'm available for coaching )

Glendale, Ariz. – Ian Snell pitched a spring-high six innings on Saturday and retired the final 10 batters he faced – not that it mattered to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
They scored three runs off Snell early, then shut out Seattle until Matt Tuiasosopo's ninth-inning home run, beating the Mariners 3-1 in a game that showed how fragile the Seattle offense may be.
Granted, Ken Griffey Jr. wasn't in the lineup – there was no designated hitter – nor was Franklin Gutierrez.
Still, with most of the regulars playing, the Mariners managed six hits, two by Ichiro Suzuki, and the team didn't get a runner into scoring position until the seventh inning.
Snell, in his next-to-last spring start, said he found his off-speed stuff and was happy with the outing overall, while admitting he made a few early mistakes that wound up beating him.
"Some pitches were up and I paid for it. I worked really hard on the curveball and kept that down, and I pounded the guys in," Snell said.
Asked what he needed to do in his last start, Snell said get to the regular season.
"I'm ready. I feel good now. I could have gone longer. I'm just going to go out and pitch. Stay aggressive and pound the zone and keep my tempo the way it is," he said. "The results aren't there but I've been working my butt off. I can't wait for the season to start."
Snell threw 88 pitches, 57 for strikes.
"He shut them down after the (Andre Ethier) home run," manager Don Wakamatsu said. "After they got to him a little bit, he came back and pitched well. We're looking for guys who can get us deep into games, and I think Ian can do that."
After Ethier's solo homer in the third, Snell retired his final 10 in order.
Fan appreciation
Think players don't hear individual voices in a crowd?
Each inning Saturday as Milton Bradley trotted in from left field to the dugout, a fan near the Seattle dugout would shout encouragement – "Go Bradley!" And each inning, Bradley would look up into the stands, tip his cap at the fan and give him a thumbs up.
"I'm the most popular .270 hitter in baseball," Bradley said.
Beating the bug
When right-handed rookie Kanekoa Texeira threw 3 scoreless innings against Kansas City this week, it was a case of mind over body as much as solid pitching that impressed the Mariners.
Before the game, Texeira had been fighting the stomach flu and spent much of his morning living close to a porcelain facility. Then he reported for duty and went to the mound in relief.
"I credit Tums and milk of magnesia," Texeira said. "It's amazing what you can do when you put something out of your mind, and that's what I did. It's what I had to do."
The 24-year-old has had a spectacular spring – nine appearances, 12 innings pitched and a 0.75 earned-run average A Rule 5 draft selection in December, Texeira must stay on the 25-man roster or be offered back to his original team, the New York Yankees.
Over four minor-league seasons, Texeira is 21-13 with 42 saves and a 2.49 ERA.
Junior one-ups, well, Junior
After contemplating his walkoff grand slam a day earlier, Griffey entertained writers by telling them he'd once hit a walkoff inside-the-park home run – and of course, he was telling the truth.
On Aug. 20, 2001, then-Cincinnati Reds outfielder Griffey hit a long fly to center field against the Cardinals, and the ball, Jim Edmonds and the fence came together in one instant.
Griffey remembers the ball rolling along the rubberized warning track, and said he slid across the plate with the winning run.
There hasn't been an inside-the-park walk-off home run in the big leagues since.
Short hops
Right-hander David Pauley was reassigned to minor league camp but told as he was leaving that he would still get a Cactus League start next week, Pauley pitched 15 innings is six appearances, crafting a 3.86 ERA. "He couldn't have done any more to impress us," Wakamatsu said. "He gives us a lot of options." The move leaves 37 players in camp, 30 of them on the 40-man roster. … Little Ball: The Mariners' offense was stymied from the outset and didn't get a runner as far as second base until the seventh inning, when Jose Lopez singled and Corey Patterson walked. When Jack Wilson followed with a two-out walk, Seattle had a runner at third – bases loaded! – and sent up pinch-hitter Mike Sweeney. Sweeney flied out to the warning track in left field. … Add walkoff grand slam: There has been only one in Mariners regular-season history, and it was hit on April 13, 1985 by Phil Bradley against Ron Davis and the Minnesota Twins. Trailing 7-4, Seattle won the game, 8-7. … The crowd for the Mariners-Dodgers game was 13,583 – a Cactus League record. … David Aardsma pitched a scoreless inning, striking out one batter.
On tap
Mariners host the Cubs in a 1:05 p.m. game today that will be televised on FSN and broadcast on 710 AM. Probable starting pitchers: Ryan Dempster vs. Ryan Rowland-Smith.

While Nobody Was Watching, 'The Office' Became a Commentary on Reality TV Fame
Features By Landon Palmer on May 16, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIn addition to its American counterpart, Ricky Gervais's The Office has been remade in at least a half dozen different countries, including Chile (La Ofis) and Israel (HaMisrad). It's often reductive to declare any cultural phenomenon universal or ubiquitous, but, more so than any other television series concocted during the twenty-first century, The Office approaches omnipresence. There's something about the show's droll depiction of quotidian cubicle drama that resonates across borders, languages, and cultures. It's a profound statement about globalization that so many different countries recognize such a similar work environment to the point that such similar comic situations can be structured around it. For every fluorescent-lit cathedral of number-crunchers and quota-seekers, there seems to be an inevitable David Brent or Michael Scott. Since Steve Carell's departure from the US Office, the show nose-dived into forced and contrived relationship drama. Despite its acts of trading in its trademark (and incredibly effective) cringe-humor for uninspired quirk, I've stuck with the show. Every now and then, The Office still delivers an inspired set-piece that reminds me of why I used to wait anxiously for a new episode each Thursday. And every now and again, characters connect genuinely and develop that way that pays off when you've been sticking with a sitcom through its ups and down for nine straight seasons. But The Office has made a remarkably different transition late in its last season, where the show's focus has switched from depicting the droll absurdity of everyday middle class labor to something
'Despicable Me 2′ Trailer: Getting Back in the Game With the Anti-Villain League
Movie News By Kate Erbland on March 19, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhile the plot for Despicable Me 2 has been mostly kept under wraps, the sequel's new trailer does introduce us to a pair of new characters – uptight Agent Lucy Wilde (voiced by Kristen Wiig) and straightlaced Ramsbottom (is that Steve Coogan?) - and their just-as-uptight-and-straightlaced-occupation – working for the Anti-Villain League. It appears that a new villain has surfaced (a joke that's much funnier when you consider that the AVL is set up under the sea) and they need Gru's (Steve Carell) help to get into the mind of the new baddie. Which might be a bit more tough than they were expecting, because Gru's girls have made him more of a softie than ever… Hey, at least there are fun gadgets! Learn all about lipstick tasers and little swimming cars after the break.
SXSW 2013 Review: 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone' Is More Banal Than Magical
Movie Review By Rob Hunter on March 16, 2013 | Be the First To CommentDo you remember how old you were when you saw and were amazed by a great magician (live or on TV) for the very first time? Of course you don't. As with Creme de Menthe and handjobs, the awe surrounding your first exposure to the world of magic quickly fades when you realize that the reality behind the promised wonder is far less exciting than you thought. That and there are far better alternatives, too. But movies about magic are a different beast all together. Not only can they use additional trickery like editing and special effects to impress viewers, they can also add a narrative that explores the power of illusion in our lives. Think The Prestige, where ambition leads to an illusory success. Think Penn & Teller Get Killed, where illusions are used to comment on societal gullibility. Or, as in the case of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, magic can be used as an inconsequential backdrop for mediocre comedy.
Casting Couch: Eva Green Is Sin City's 'A Dame to Kill For,' Steve Carell Might Be Tina Fey's 'Mail Order Groom,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's the casting column that's basically been subsisting on news coming out of Robert Rodriguez's Sin City sequel in recent days. Today he adds two more actors to his ensemble. The big news is that Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, after having already shot some of its scenes, has finally found an actress to play the character of Ava Lord, who serves as the film's titular dame. Dimension Films announced [via ComingSoon] that the powers that be have decided to go with Eva Green. The Ava Lord character is described by Frank Miller as being "every man's most glorious dreams come true, she's also every man's darkest nightmares," and both Miller and Rodriguez agree that Green is the actress who can best, "embody the multifaceted characteristics of this femme fatale." That's either a big compliment, or they might have just called her a bitch.
Prepare Yourself for the Magic of These First Stills from 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone'
First Look By Kate Erbland on December 18, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFirst looks at films by way of photographic stills tend to be dry affairs that are nearly always impossible to contextualize ("look, there is someone standing there, next to someone else, can't wait for this movie!"), but every so often, they prove to be actually exciting little bits of marketing. Like this first look at The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, starring Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, and apparently an old school Glamour Shots studio. This photo is glorious, and it's the first thing that's gotten me genuinely excited for the film, which stars Carell and Buscemi as Las Vegas' most successful magician duo, a duo who are threatened by their imploding friendship and Jim Carrey's rising star rival magician. Check out the second still after the break, but be warned, it contains none of the majesty of that one up top (though Carrey does appear in this one, looking a lot like Cris Angel).
'Despicable Me 2′ Trailer: Well, Hope You Like Those Minions
Movie News By Kate Erbland on October 31, 2012 | Be the First To CommentPardon our confusion, but aren't the minions of Despicable Me fame getting their own feature? (The answer is yes, they are, in 2014.) So why then is this first full-length trailer for Despicable Me 2 so minion-focused? Why are we watching approximately two minutes of two minions talking in their minionspeak, being silly, finding themselves terrified by furry creatures, and maybe (just maybe!) getting abducted by aliens? Is this plot of this film such a closely guarded secret that we can't even see the vast majority of the project's most recognizable non-minion lead characters? Well, perhaps. We actually don't know much about the plot of Despicable Me 2; even its official logline only tells us that the film is "an all-new comedy animated adventure featuring the return of Gru (Steve Carell), the girls, the unpredictably hilarious minions…and a host of new and outrageously funny characters." Dare to dream that means Jason Segel and his tiny toilet are set to return. Watch the minions get (maybe?) abducted by aliens after the break.
Anthony Michael Hall Set to Play Second Fiddle to Crazy Steve Carell in 'Foxcatcher'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on October 10, 2012 | Comments (3)Director Bennett Miller's upcoming passion project, Foxcatcher, continues to add solid talent of the most unexpected variety. Next up, Anthony Michael Hall, everyone's favorite '80s movie brain (and some people's favorite Rusty Griswold, though those people are wrong). Variety reports that Hall will play Steve Carell's character's assistant in the stunning true crime tale. The film tells the true story of John du Pont (Carell), the heir to the du Pont fortune who, as a huge supporter of amateur sports and USA Wrestling in particular, built a wrestling facility, called Team Foxcatcher, on his Pennsylvania estate. But du Pont was also a paranoid schizophrenic who believed that there was an international conspiracy in place to kill him – a conspiracy that he believed his long-time friend, Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo) was a part of. That belief led du Pont to shoot and kill Schultz in 1996, in front of both Schultz's wife and du Pont's head of security. After the shooting, du Pont barricaded himself in his mansion for two days while negotiating with the police. Sienna Miller also recently joined the cast as Schultz's wife, and Channing Tatum is set to play his younger brother, Mark, also an Olympic wrestler. Production is finally set to kick off on the film later this month in Pittsburgh. Frankly, we can't wait.
Steve Carell Will Ruin Sienna Miller's Life in 'Foxcatcher'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on October 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDirector Bennett Miller's passion project follow-up to his smash hit Moneyball continues to take shape with the protracted roll-out of his final casting decisions. Deadline Hollywood reports that Sienna Miller is now set to play Nancy Schultz in Foxcatcher, based on the wrenching and bizarre story of the murder of Olympic wrestler (and Nancy's husband) Dave Schultz. Mark Ruffalo has been attached to the Schultz role since April, along with the rest of an impressive cast that also includes Steve Carell and Channing Tatum. Miller has been trying to get the film made for years, so it's heartening that he's finally been able to compile such a talented line-up to tell the tale of the tragically murdered Schultz. And what a tale it is.
Review: Solid Performances Almost Save Marriage of Uneven Tone and Terrible Soundtrack in 'Hope Springs'
Movie Review By Kate Erbland on August 8, 2012 | Comments (2)It's quite convenient that David Frankel's Hope Springs kicked its original title – Great Hope Springs – because such a tiny edit saves the film from a rash of mocking spins on its name. Just Okay Hope Springs. Totally Adequate Hope Springs. Hey, Not So Bad Hope Springs. The film, which centers on the crumbling marriage of Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) and their apparent last ditch effort to save it by way of an intensive relationship workshop with therapist Dr. Feld (Steve Carell), is perfectly acceptable stuff, but it's by no means "great" and it's not nearly as frank, honest, and mature as it would like to be. Instead, it's a gentle enough take on the romantic comedy for the older set that struggles to find its tone and aim, before settling into something that's strangely pleasing and oddly compelling. Hope Springs is both a rare bird (how often do we see mature studio films that examine faltering marriages and place importance on the value of lovemaking?) and a strange duck (how many films about faltering marriages encourage a first act of chuckles and titters before dropping the emotional boom, and repeatedly?).
Charlie Kaufman's 'Frank or Francis' Has Fallen Apart (For Now)
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 27, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn an interview with Moviefone, Elizabeth Banks had some sad news to deliver: Charlie Kaufman's Frank or Francis "fell apart at the last minute." Banks was set to co-star along with Catherine Keener, Nic Cage, Jack Black, Steve Carell and Kevin Kline. The film was to be an exploration of filmmaking, Hollywood culture, criticism, and probably a dozen other things but more importantly…it was new, original work from Charlie Kaufman. The Playlist has learned that the movie is simply postponed, but it's time to start drinking nonetheless. Why? Because there's no such thing as "dead" in filmmaking; only "postponed." Of course, that comes with the optimism that Kaufman can make it happen one day. Hopefully soon.
16 Movie Characters We Want to Spend Our Last Days With
Cinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on June 22, 2012 | Comments (2)Just as the fears of global cataclysm at the end of the last century fueled films like Deep Impact and Armageddon, the ticking clock to December 21, 2012 has led to more end-of-the-world movies that rely on something larger than a zombie outbreak or a deadly contagion (although those have been recently popular as well). The latest entry into Hollywood's obsession with the Earth's last days is the apocalyptic rom-com Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, and if the Mayans were right, that might very well be the last one made. Film School Rejects responds to your concerns about the end of the world, as evidenced by the Apocalypse Soon feature currently running on this site. While you're catching up on these films to see before the end of the world, we wondered who would be the best people to spend that time with. Steve Carell's character gets to spend the end of the world with Keira Knightley, and here are some cinematic characters with whom we'd like to spend our last days.
Lorene Scafaria Sweetly Capitalizes on the End of Humanity and the Destruction of the World
Features By Jack Giroux on June 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentFew apocalyptic films are sweeter than Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. While we already got Roland Emmerich's layered, philosophical approach to our pending doomsday, writer-director Lorene Scafaria has provided whimsical competition via an endearing love story set in the midst of our final days. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is not a story of one man miraculously saving the day, but a bittersweet tale of the reserved and lonely Dodge (Steve Carell) finally having something to live before it all ends. Dodge's journey aside, Scafaria's film is a road movie – which is hardly a simple structure to crack – filled with faces we all know, the creepiest and friendliest restaurant you'll seen on screen all year, and more atypical apocalyptic escapades. Here is what Lorene Scafaria had to say about the highs and lows of pitching a film, how her directorial debut has since informed her writing, and the sheer perfection of Adventures in Babysitting:
LAFF 2012 Review: 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' Delivers More Emotion than Laughs, But Is Hopeful in the Face of Disaster
Film Festivals By Allison Loring on June 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWho would you want to be with when the world ends? While we here at FSR have been bringing you the various movies you should watch before the world is set to end come this December, writer/director Lorene Scafaria takes on the idea of who you would want to stand with in those final moments. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World follows Dodge (Steve Carell), an insurance salesman (oh, the irony) who seems lost as the rest of the world is falling apart around him. One night, while watching the grim news (anchored with class by Mark Moses), Dodge encounters his quirky neighbor Penny (Keira Knightley) and they bond over the unspoken need to have someone to spend time with, even if it means just sitting and watching television together. When Penny gives Dodge a stack of his mail (which she'd been accidentally receiving for months), he finds a letter from an ex-girlfriend (one he considered the love of his life) which prompts Dodge to find her and spend his last days with his one true love. After a terrifying riot breaks out around their apartment building, Dodge grabs Prius-driving Penny to save her (and bum a ride.) Promising to bring her to one of his friends who has a plane (which could get her to England to see her family one last time), the duo (and Dodge's inherited dog, Sorry) embark on a road trip to get to those people they realize are most important to them.
Rob Corddry Tells Us How to Over-Prepare and Get Your Ass Kicked By Michael Bay
Features By Jack Giroux on June 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAn array of familiar faces flitter in and out of Lorene Scafaria's directorial debut. Be it Rob Huebel or Patton Oswalt, they all have a minute or two to shine before the apocalypse strikes the world at play; amongst some of those soon-to-perish characters is Rob Corddry, an actor well-known for bit parts and the "asshole" role. In Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, Warren, played by Corddry, briefly revels in his final days, and in the way we'd hope to see him do onscreen. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World also shares a connection to another film Corddry has coming up: Michael Bay's Pain and Gain, based on a true (and insane) story. The doomsday bit isn't the common thread, but the voices behind them are. Scafaria's voice is shaping up to be a notable one, as Michael Bay's is globally known. We'll see Bay stretch some storyteling muscles the next time out, but, as Corddry tells us, his behind-the-scenes methods remain both the same and beneficial. Here's wha Rob Corddry had to say about the crux of over-preparing for roles, having no frame of reference in acting school, and why Ed Harris was smashing a lot of phones for Michael Bay:
'Anchorman 2' Teaser Trailers Get the Channel 4 Team Back Together For a Scotch-Fueled Man-Off
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 21, 2012 | Comments (1)This past weekend, a new teaser trailer for Adam McKay's highly anticipated comedy sequel Anchorman 2 played in theaters, but not many people got to check it out because it was attached to The Dictator and paying movie ticket prices and sitting through over an hour of Sacha Baron Cohen's stale act just to see a few seconds of Anchorman goodness wasn't a proposition for the weak at heart. But everybody who missed out can stop crying and start rejoicing, because not only has that teaser trailer now hit the net, but there's also an alternate version of said trailer being hosted over at Funny or Die. Both trailers have a similar set-up: the guys strike iconic poses, get a chance to riff a funny line, and liberal use is made of that Alan Parsons Project song that Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat used to come out to in the '80s and the Chicago Bulls used to come out to in the '90s. But you should give each a look, because the one that appeared in theaters is dirtier and the one that's exclusive to Funny or Die brings back Anchorman narrator Bill Kurtis. Hurry up and hit play before I keep typing and give away all the gags:
Mark Ruffalo Joins Bennett Miller's 'Foxcatcher' in David Schultz Role
2010 Year in Review By Kate Erbland on April 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentYou hear that? That's the sound of everyone in Hollywood sitting up and finally taking notice of the absurdly talented Mark Ruffalo. While the actor has turned in a series of accomplished roles (including You Can Count on Me, Zodiac, The Brothers Bloom, and The Kids Are All Right) over the years, he's never quite vaulted into big-name, big-award territory. Until now. Though his casting as Bruce Banner/The Hulk in Joss Whedon's upcoming The Avengers was an unexpected choice, Ruffalo's work in the film is outstanding (I can vouch for that, having seen the film last week), and fans will be very pleased with his take on both Bruce and "the other guy." To that end, Variety reports that Ruffalo has landed his first post-Avengers role, and it's one that may make an Oscar winner out of him yet. Ruffalo has now joined the cast of Bennett Miller's long-gestating true crime story, Foxcatcher. Miller has been trying to get the film made for years, and Steve Carell and Channing Tatum have both been set to star for months now, but the casting of Ruffalo has proven to be especially important – as it will be Ruffalo who takes the co-leading role, not Tatum, as once reported.
Adam McKay Talks About His Road to 'Anchorman 2' and Reveals Who's Coming Back
In Development By Nathan Adams on April 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen it was finally announced that Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and company would be coming back and making a sequel to their 2004 modern classic Anchorman, the world rejoiced. But, with as many people as there are who love this movie, and with the way it's continued to remain a relevant part of popular culture, why did it take so long to make a sequel? McKay spills some details on the long road to this highly anticipated sequel in a recent interview with THR. Apparently the delay between Anchorman movies came down to two things: first there was a lack of interest in sequels from the creative end of things, and then there were budget concerns from the accountants. Or, as McKay puts it, "the movie came out and did really good but then got even bigger on DVD and cable. So then, when he (Adam Goodman) was at Paramount, he said to me, 'Would you ever do a sequel?' And at first we were like, 'No, we don't want to do sequels, we have too many ideas. Why do sequels?' And then finally, we kept hearing the question so much from fans, and we're like, 'Shit, man, there's almost something original about doing a sequel,' like, can-we-do-a-sequel suddenly became an interesting challenge to us. We got our heads around on it and said, 'All right, we'll do it,' and Goodman was really excited. But then it went in the numbers machine over there."
Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch! Time for an 'Anchorman' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on April 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentLast week, the interwebs exploded with the awesome announcement that Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Steve Carell and Paramount Pictures have come to an agreement on moving forward with a sequel to the 2004 comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Sweet Lincoln's mullet, this is exciting! Even though the movie's release is at least a year away, you can still pop in your DVD, Blu-ray or HD-DVD (yeah, those are still out there) of Anchorman to refresh yourself in preparation of the sequel. Enjoy some scotchy, scotch, scotch, down into your belly. Or drink from a half-gallon carton of milk on a hot day. Either way, slap on your Sex Panther cologne and take a trip back to the glorious 70s. And don't forget to stay classy, rejects!
Great Odin's Raven! 'Anchorman 2′ Will See Will Ferrell Back In the Mustache Again
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 28, 2012 | Comments (3)Back in 2010, Paramount punted Anchorman 2 off a bridge, but after Conan O'Brien teased an appearance by Ron Burgundy on his show, it became clear that something big was afoot. Anchorman 2 is happening with Will Ferrell getting back behind the news desk alongside director Adam McKay and co-stars Paul Rudd and Steve Carell. Right now, a ton of people are having to walk off their comedy erections in whatever office they're about to be fired from. Fortunately, I work from home. This is great, great news. Does it seem a bit like going back to the well? Absolutely, but it's a well worth diving back into and one that will represent a real challenge for its cast and crew. Catching scotch-covered lightning in a bottle twice will be tough, but hot damn is it ever a goal worth shooting for.
Trailer for 'Seeking a Friend for the End of the World' Makes the End Times Look Like Fun Times
Movie News By Nathan Adams on February 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentEverybody knows that the world is going to be ending sooner rather than later. Heck, the end of days is getting so close that we've been counting down our must-see apocalypse films. But until I watched the trailer for the upcoming comedy Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, it didn't occur to me how much fun those last few days we all spend on Earth are going to be. I mean, other than when faced with impending asteroid-related doom, when else is a guy like Steve Carell going to get a chance at a girl like Keira Knightley? Stress-induced romantic hook-ups aren't the only perks of the world ending, either. There's slacking off at work, taking part in some cathartic looting, and who knows how many other base pleasures to partake in. Heck, this movie sees Patton Oswalt turning into some sort of hedonistic little Satyr, Gillian Jacobs kissing everyone on the mouth, and Connie Britton hosting dinner parties for her single friends. Not only are these all great ideas for how to spend your last days, they're also glimpses at a movie that seems to have a stellar supporting cast. Check out how the end times might look with the first trailer for Seeking a Friend for the End of the World after the break.

Management Styles and Earrings
In my last post we talked about management styles and the differences between Puppy and Kitten. But it wasn't until Kitten got her ears pierced recently that I realized just how different the girls really are.
Puppy started asking to get her ears pierced when she was three or four. I had my ears pierced on my 6th birthday with my godmother. Afterward, she took me out to lunch to celebrate and I still remember how special this event made me feel.
Wanting my girls to have the same type of memory, I told Puppy she had to wait until she was 6. She was fine with that. When the day finally came, she spent an eternity agonizing over exactly which earrings she would choose. After the piercing, she burst into tears and continued to sob all the way through lunch. She was thrilled with her earrings, but apparently the pain was much greater than she'd expected.
Kitten's experience was totally different.
From the time she could talk, Kitten was adamant that she never wanted to get her ears pierced. "Never, never, NEVER," she said.
"It's your decision," I always replied.
It was quite a shock when she came bounding into our bedroom one morning shrieking, "I want to get my ears pierced!"
After prying my eyes open, I managed to point out that she'd never wanted them pierced before.
"Now I do. Today!"
I was tempted to say she had to wait until she was 6, but I knew if Puppy said she was ready to have her ears pierced, then she was ready.
I showed her the earring choices online, and she immediately pointed to a pair of pink flowers. When we arrived at the store, she marched up to the desk and announced she wanted her ears pierced. She didn't even hesitate when she climbed into the chair for the actual piercing. After the first one was done, I asked if she was okay.
She blinked twice. "I'm fine, Mom."
After the second ear was done, she hopped down grinning ear to ear. No tears, no fuss, just pure joy.
I know she's never regretted her decision because after she tested for her orange belt in karate recently, she came rushing off the floor and I gave her a big hug.
"I'm so proud of you," I said.
She pulled back. Instead of responding, she tucked her hair behind her ear and asked, "Do you think anyone noticed my earrings?"
I've got to give the girl credit: at least she's focused!
