He is in good spirits, and said he that he hopes to back on the job by next week! (Because the 70-75,000 collages he has already made just aren't enough!)

We'll continue to keep everyone posted and let you all know when he's ready to get e-mail and/or calls.

The rest of the (Lilian's) story:

• Three more clips of Toni Collette in Lilian's Story. Featuring the remainder of her frontal nude scenes in this curious film. (1, 2, 3)

Other Crap:

• PORNOKRATES - historic smut for the discerning voyeur
• Land of the Dead, as reviewed by The Filthy Critic
• Here's the nudity scoop on Anne Hathaway's film, Havoc, as seen at the Filmfest Munchen, and reported at Anne-Hathaway.com. (You can read the review yourself in its full detail at that site, but I didn't link to it because the site requires registration.)
  • "For those who just want the short version, Anne has scenes where she appears topless, Bijou Phillips has scenes where she appears topless, Freddy Rodriguez has one scene where he shows his naked butt. There is no nudity by Shari Appleby or Mike Vogel. There is NO lower frontal nudity by anyone in the movie."
  • "Barbara Kopple confirmed that the movie has received an R rating. So everybody who had bashed Anne for all the extensive nudity must now eat plenty of crow."
  • The lack of lower body nudity is contrary to previous reports that have floated around the internet from time to time. It is possible that the earlier reports were wrong, but it is also possible that the final edit was made to avoid an NC-17 rating. At this point, I don't know.
• JFK Jr. humped the living bejeesus out of Princess Di. I guess a natural aptitude for princess-fuckin' just ran in the family.
• Headline o' the Day: "Man Gets New 12-Foot Weenie". You mean those e-mail ads really work?
• The Discovery Channel finally announces the results of the "Greatest American Ever" poll, and the winner is ...
  • Hint #1: Not Tom Arnold
  • Hint #2: The winner once predicted that when victory is announced, "I don't know where I'll be then ... but I'll know about it - and I'll be happy."
• When Scientists attack!
• VIDEO: Jerry Seinfield in Oz: "On May 14th 1998, Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer were sentenced to one year in prison for violating the Massachusetts Good Samaritan Law. Then, due to a series of sarcastic quips Jerry made to prison guards, and a series finale regarded by most TV critics as 'Satisfactory At Best', Jerry Seinfeld was transferred to a maximum security prison. That facility is known as... OZ."
• FilmJerk's Early Report for June 26
• Flipper the dolphin buried in Roadside Pet Cemetery
• Tom Cruise Rants Hurting His Image. 69% of polled viewers said Cruise's Today Show rant was "just plain wrong"
  • ... while the others said it was "batshit crazy" or 'totally fucked-up."
• Borowitz: BUSH SEEKS SUPPORT FOR DIRTY AIR ACT
• There were no surprises in this weekend's box office. It was expected to be weak, and it was, with only minor shifts from film to film.
  • Batman held on to #1 despite a 45% drop from last weekend. The Perfect Man virtually dropped off the chart.
  • The total gross for the top dozen films was off 16% from last year, marking the 18th consecutive week to finish below the equivalent week in the previous year. That is the longest such slump in the history of modern record-keeping.
  • Analysts have made too much of that slump. The basic explanation is that last year was an unusual year. Fahrenheit 911 and The Passion of the Christ brought lots of non-moviegoers into the theaters. The revenues from those two films engorge last year's grosses, like a pig passing through a python. If one studies the revenue history over a longer period than a single year, the numbers make more sense. Last year's weekend was up $25 million over the previous year, attributable almost entirely to an opening weekend of $24 million for Fahrenheit 911. Here is this weekend compared to the equivalent weekend for the past two years.

    2003 - $113m

    2004 - $138m

    2005 - $116m

  • If you assume that the Fahrenheit 911 business was a windfall of incremental revenue from non-traditional moviegoers, and compare only the remaining films, then the numbers look completely sensible - like this

    2003 - $113m

    2004 - $114m

    2005 - $116m

  Title	Warrior Prediction	Actual	Diff%
  Batman Begins	28.8	26.7	-7
  Bewitched	23.3	20.2	-13
  Mr. and Mrs. Smith	15.3	16.7	9

• GRAND ILLUSIONS in Math - the Monty Hall paradox
• Four clips from Nightwatch
  • "Set in contemporary Moscow, Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) revolves around the conflict and balance maintained between the forces of light and darkness -- the result of a medieval truce between the opposing sides. As night falls, the dark forces battle the super-human "Others" of the Night Watch, whose mission is to patrol and protect. But there is constant fear that an ancient prophecy will come true: that a powerful Other will rise up, be tempted by one of the sides, and tip the balance plunging the world into a renewed war between the dark and light, the results of which would be catastrophic. Nochnoi Dozor is the first installment of a trilogy based on the best-selling sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko entitled Night Watch, Day Watch and Dusk Watch."
• Six more clips from Hustle & Flow. (Small-time hustler tries to become a hip-hop star.)
• Here's a new featurette about The Skeleton Key
  • "From the writer of The Ring (Ehren Kruger) and the director of K-PAX (Iain Softley) comes Universal Pictures' contemporary supernatural thriller, The Skeleton Key. Set largely in the dark atmospheric backwoods just outside of New Orleans, The Skeleton Key stars Hudson as Caroline, a live-in nurse hired to care for an elderly woman's (Rowlands) ailing husband (Hurt) in their home...a foreboding and decrepit mansion in the Louisiana delta. Intrigued by the enigmatic couple, their mysterious and secretive ways and their rambling house, Caroline beings to explore the old mansion. Armed with a skeleton key that unlocks every door, she discovers a hidden attic room that holds a deadly and terrifying secret. Peter Sarsgaard portrays Luke, the local attorney working on the couple's estate, and Joy Bryant plays Jill, Caroline's best friend."

• Authority figure overreaction of the month: Felony Charges For Harmless High School Hacking. "At no time was the security of the server breached, and I don't know that it has cost the taxpayers any money" ... "The server, where grades and other private records are stored, was never threatened." Yeah, that merits felony charges, and a really expensive trial that will spend millions of the taxpayer's money to get "not guilty" verdicts from sympathetic jurors!
• A police video of Chris Tucker being arrested at gunpoint back in April. He was driving 109 MPH and eluded police for ten miles to "get to church" on time.
• Lucy Liu topless. (I don't know why, but I had to press "refresh" to get the pictures to appear.)

MOVIE REVIEWS:

Here are the latest movie reviews available at scoopy.com.

• The yellow asterisks indicate that I wrote the review, and am deluded into thinking it includes humor.
• If there is a white asterisk, it means that there isn't any significant humor, but I inexplicably determined there might be something else of interest.
• A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Junior or Brainscan, or somebody else besides me)
• If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.
