Bob Balaban said to me, he says... by NonStopPop	Feb 9th, 2008 06:14:41 AM
"I always dimly knew about Doris Duke, and I had read some screaming tabloid headlines about her butler and what happened between them, and somebody sent me a movie, and I thought, hmm, this is really interesting. I happened to be working with Susan Sarandon at the time, on the television version of 'The Exonerated,' I gave the script to her, she said, 'This is a great character.' We worked on the script together for a while, sent it to Ralph Fiennes, and then went out and made a movie for $500,000 that is now going to be seen by hopefully many millions of people on HBO. And it was a great experience."
Sounds good - but I wonder why the lack of promotion by Yeti	Feb 9th, 2008 08:02:16 AM
Maybe they think if no-onbe watches it will win a slew of awards?
F' HBO by palewook	Feb 9th, 2008 09:19:40 AM

I'm disappointed Capone. Of all the people on this site, I thought you were the only one who proofread.

Two Words: The Avengers. Seriously: It's one of the worst movies adapted from a great, classic TV series, not to mention one of the worst movies ever. Period.
Inside the NFL by Mastastic	Feb 9th, 2008 01:38:11 PM
Good for HBO on canceling that waste of air space. If your team wasn't in a major market you were shit out of luck for coverage. Not to mention, like all NFL shows these days, the hosts opinions came from a card that someone else scribbled for them earlier in the day. The hosts of Inside used to argue about getting a bad topic or point all the time. Hell, I'm glad just for the simple fact that I won't have to hear Chris Carter smack his fucking lips together every time he speaks a word for a little while at least.
"now going to be seen by many millions of people" by thegreatwhatzit	Feb 9th, 2008 06:09:06 PM
Sure, Bob. The paucity of response on this talkback is indicative of the ratings. Zippo. Most of the budget was invested in Susan Sarandon's makeup (she's supposed to appear younger than her years...say around 80).

What's ABC going to call their Lost spinoff now?

Speaking of Fiennes by Series7	Feb 10th, 2008 10:54:19 PM
what ever happened to the younger one? I think his name was Adam? Or Joseph? Eh I guess every family can't be a Baldwin or a Wilson.
