Big Bucks for Brangelina Baby Photos

Did you guys here about this one? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have sold the first pics of their newborn twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, to People magazine for a reported $14 million, making them the most lucrative baby photos yet. People is supposedly splitting the bill with Hello!, a British tabloid, but that’s still some serious cash. The question is: are the pictures really worth it?

“Baby photos don’t necessarily translate into more magazines,” admitted one editor. “It’s about projecting the image that you are an authority. Hopefully down the road it will lead to sales, and advertisers will want to come to you. But you’ve got to sell millions more magazines in a given week to offset the cost of an A-lister’s baby.”

Brangelina’s daughter Shiloh kicked off the baby photo craze when she was born in 2006, fetching around $4 million from People for her pics, while photos of son Pax netted $2 mil. Now that the couple is on to baby numbers five and six, I must admit that I’m just kind of over Brangelina and all their kids, just as I’m sure they are sick of the paparazzi and the media following their every move. Don’t get me wrong — I wish the Pitt-Jolie clan the best and, since Angie and Brad are both gorgeous, I’m sure their twins will be gorgeous, but I’m not planning on running out to buy the latest issue of People on Monday to see their first photo spread. Is that so wrong?

The End of Jay Leno

Comedian Jay Leno will make his last appearance as host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show” next May 29, setting the stage for Conan O’Brien to replace him on America’s top late-night TV show on June 1.

But even as they announced the exact date of Leno’s long-planned 2009 departure, NBC executives said they were looking for ways to keep him at the General Electric Co. owned network in a role other than as a late-night host.

Leno’s future has been the subject of speculation since NBC surprised the television business four years ago by announcing that he would step down at some point in 2009 to be replaced by O’Brien. Leno’s last show will be a Friday night.

While NBC wants to keep Leno in the fold, other networks are known to be interested in hiring the comedian who has long reigned supreme in U.S. television’s late-night ratings wars.

ABC is widely seen as Leno’s most likely destination if he leaves NBC altogether, and executives of the Walt Disney Co. owned network said last week they would be interested in speaking with him.

Other entities said to be discreetly courting Leno, 58, before the negotiating window on his NBC contract opens include the Fox network and Sony Pictures Television.

LENO IN DISGUISE

NBC unveiled its plans for “The Tonight Show” transition during a presentation to television critics, which included a brief appearance by Leno in disguise.

As rival late-night host Jimmy Kimmel had during a presentation by ABC last week, Leno posed as a reporter and fired off a dozen or so facetious questions to Graboff and NBC Entertainment Co-Chairman Ben Silverman.

“Will Leno be paid for the rest of the year?” he asked at one point, and later followed up with, “Is it true you offered Leno a fifth hour on the ‘Today’ show?”

NBC executives have taken pains to craft a smooth succession from Leno to O’Brien, 45, who now hosts the “Late Night” program that immediately follows “The Tonight Show.”

NBC endured heavy criticism for how it dealt with the handoff from Johnny Carson to Leno in 1992, eventually finding itself in a bitter public feud with then-”Late Night” host David Letterman, who had coveted the “Tonight Show” job. Letterman ultimately left NBC to anchor his own “Late Show” on CBS directly opposite Leno.

NBC has named “Saturday Night Live” veteran Jimmy Fallon as O’Brien’s successor to host NBC’s “Late Night” show. Fallon will test some of his material on the Internet before his program moves to NBC’s late-night schedule in 2009!

My personal opinion: I’m very sad to see Jay Leno get the boot to a looser like Conan O’Brien. Whoever made this decision is a fucking idiot, Leno dominates O’Brien in every arena!

Dark Knight Too Dark?

It’s not a comic book movie!

That’s the first thing you should know when your kids ask to see “The Dark Knight,” this summer’s biggest blockbuster. So how do you answer? Should your children see “The Dark Knight?”

“I would not take a kid to see ‘The Dark Knight,’ said most viewers. The Joker and Two-Face alone could give a kid nightmares. The twisted violence is not just physical, but more of the heart, and thus potentially more terrifying. It is a very dark movie, there’s no ray of hope for the city. Most agree that children should be at least 14 to view the movie.
Such cautions seem to be the consensus, beginning with movie’s star, Christian Bale, who said this:
“It’s quite haunting. It’s something which will stay with you for quite a while afterward. I’m not sure how much a child will be oblivious to that. I would say starting at about 9, maybe 10 years old may be an appropriate age for kids to be able to deal with this.”

A sampling of other comments:

“‘Dark Knight’ is a staggeringly violent and disturbing film. Thought-provoking for adults, but potentially terrifying for children,”
“The PG-13 rating should offer some warning, yes. But this film dances just south of an R in my book.”
“This film is not for children, and I would discourage parents from taking anyone under 12 to see this movie.”
“‘The Dark Knight’ offers a glimpse into the darker places within each of us, which might be cathartic for some, but others will simply be afraid.”
“The movie is sadistic, violent, disturbing and also one of the best and biggest movies of the year.”

Ultimately, the “Dark Knight” decision depends upon you, your children and your relationships with them. There are children at age 14 (and I was one) who would be deeply troubled by the darkness of the film. And there are children of 10 who could not only face down the terror but even discuss some of the film’s layered themes.

In all cases, I suggest talking with your children about “The Dark Knight.” Be sure they understand that it is not a typical comic book movie and that it is intended for grown-ups. And should you permit them to see the film, I strongly recommend discussing it afterwards.

The Dark Night

At midnight tonight it will be upon us, with expectations fueled by hundreds of advance sellouts, glorious reviews and Oscar buzz.
The Dark Knight is expected by box-office experts to bring in a $100 million opening-weekend, a feat requiring a take of at least $1.4 million every hour for 72 straight hours, a feat accomplished by only 10 movies in Hollywood history.

The follow-up to Christopher Nolan’s franchise restarter, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight returns Christian Bale to Gotham City and casts Heath Ledger as the Joker, a performance, the late actor’s last, that is already inspiring Oscar odds. Reviews have been, with few exceptions, raves.

As of today box-office officials say, The Dark Knight was accounting for 94 percent of all its ticket sales. Online the movie was selling tickets at twice the rate of Spider-Man 3, Hollywood’s reigning opening weekend champ.
The Dark Knight is being given every chance to beat Spider-Man 3: It’s opening the film at 4,366 theaters, the widest of wide releases ever.

“It’s got the room to be a possible record breaker,” according to the box-office tracking firm.

It’ll also have the time. The movie will maximize its opening day by opening at midnight tonight at about 75 percent of its theaters. From 1:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. Friday, there’ll be some 500 Dark Knight screenings nationwide, a handful of which will occur at the previously noted but still eye-opening hour of 6 a.m.

Add it all up, and, perhaps surprisingly, box-office observers expect that come Sunday Spider-Man 3 will still be on top, its record $151.1 million, Friday-Sunday record still intact.

For one main thing, Spider-Man 3, unlike The Dark Knight, opened in early May. Like Iron Man this year, that 2007 movie had nothing but a clear running field in front of it. The Dark Knight, by comparison, is a latecomer, arriving at the beach after some of the choice spots have been hogged by hits such as Hancock and WALL-E.

“Spider-Man 3 is probably out of reach,” says box-office officials.

They think The Dark Knight could open in the neighborhood of $125 million, putting it at third all-time.

But Spider-Man shouldn’t get too comfortable. Another of the Webslinger’s records could be in play.

Currently, Spider-Man 3 boasts Hollywood’s biggest single-day gross, with $59.8 million. Enter The Dark Knight, primed for a potentially unprecedented Friday, with the round-the-clock screenings. Some say that 38 percent of Dark Knight fans will “take off a few hours or the entire day” on Friday to catch the movie.

Regardless of how the movie opens, The Dark Knight is not expected to close anytime soon.

Drifting Techniques 101

Alright, so you’ve read up some on what drifting is. You have a car. Maybe you slapped 15k into it or maybe you didn’t. You’ve practiced for a couple weeks and feel you are up for new challenges. Here are some techniques (correct me if I am in anyway wrong past this point.) I’m going to go in alphabetical order (not in order of difficulty) of what techniques I can think of. I’m also researching these as I go along so I get everything right. YES, I AM DOING RESEARCH FOR YOU! First we have…

“Braking drifting” To perform this, trail brake into a corner. As you do this, you will lose grip. When that happens, balance the car by steering and using throttle motions. This is normally used on medium to low speed corners.

“Clutch Kick” To do this depress the clutch pedal while approaching or during a mild drift. Then pop the clutch to give a sudden jolt. When you do this, the jolt makes the driveline disturbed and the rear loses traction.

“Dirt Drop Drift” (If you have seen Initial D they refer to it as the “Gutter Technique.”) This is performed by “dropping” the rear tires off the side of the road and into the dirt to keep or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. Note that this technique is very useful for low horsepower cars. (Just like the “86.”)

“E-Brake Drift” This is a very basic technique. Just pull the hand break (a.k.a. the E-Break) to make the back of your car lose traction and balance the drift by steering and quick throttle motions. This can also be very useful when you need to correct errors or fine tune you angle of drift.

“Faint Drift” To do this, rock the car towards the outside of the turn and then, using the rebound of grip, throw the car into the regular cornering direction. Quick note: This is a rally racing technique that is used to change your car’s approach during cornering, normally used on tight corners.

“FF Drift” (Front wheel drive drift) The E-brake, steering, and braking techniques must be used to balance your car through the corner. The E-brake however is the main method used to balance out your drift.

“Jump Drift” In this technique bounce the rear tire on the apex (this means the inside) of the turn over the curb to lose traction resulting in over steer.

“Kansei Drift” You have to be pretty fast for this. When entering a high speed corner lift your foot off the throttle. This induces a mild over steer. Then balance the drift by steering and throttle motions. To do this however, your car should be a neutral balanced car. Therefore the over steer will induce itself. If the car plows through the turn this technique won’t work.

“Long Slide Drift” Yet another use for the E-brake. Pull the E-brake through a strait to start a high angel drift and hold it so you set up for the turn ahead. Now remember, this can obviously only be done at high speed, otherwise you wont slide too far.

I think that’s enough for now… There are many more techniques, but the best one is up to you. Its always good to read, but don’t forget to practice. Anyways, by the time you learn half the techniques up there you are probably very good, or very lucky.

Enjoy
