Up In The Air

Synopsis:

Up in the Air is a 2009 American comedy-drama film directed by Jason Reitman, the Oscar nominated director of "Thank You For Smoking" and “Juno,” co-written by Reitman and Sheldon Turner. It is a film adaptation of the 2001 novel, Up in the Air, written by Walter Kirn.

George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, a man who travels around the country to terminate corporate employees. Walter Kirn stated in the film's press notes: "Ryan is like a masseur who comes in and sort of rubs your shoulders while rolling your desk chair into the elevator." On occasion he delivers motivational speeches about the virtue of a relationship-free life. He relishes the comfort of being anonymous during his perpetual travels. He does not have a personal life and he numbs himself with sex, booze and drugs. His company chooses to ground him and keep him at the corporate headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. According to Reitman, "The movie is about the examination of a philosophy—what if you decided to live hub to hub, with nothing, with nobody?"

Is Nimoy Done With Fringe After 3 Episodes?

ZIA — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:17:22 GMT

While we recently brought you news of everyone�s favorite baldy weirdo popping up all over the place, we�ve got bigger fish to fry. In this case, the proverbial fish is the elusive William Bell (played by your friendly neighborhood Vulcan, Leonard Nimoy) and whether or not the story of William Bell is over before it even had a chance to get started.

If you�re in the camp to believe anything this Nimoy fellow has to say, there might be some credit to this rumor. At the DVD launch party for J.J. Abrahams Star Trek, Nimoy took the time to wax poetic about all things Fringe.

�I agreed to do three episodes; and we�ve filmed all three. Two have aired, so I will be on the air in one more. And that�s the extent of my commitment.�

Well, maybe not so poetic, but definitely absolute. And because of that, this is some news that just doesn�t make me happiest of campers.

The first time we saw William Bell it was during Fringe�s first season finale and that was for about 3 minutes. The second time was a more recent episode and that appearance was a total of 5 minutes, all in flashback. So, the two out of three moments that we�ve see William Bell equal out to less than 10 minutes of screen time and now he�s going to be gone? What�s the deal, FOX?

Bell�s finale episode is set to air on December 10th with the title of �Grey Matter.� While no description has been released as of yet, just one look at Wikipedia holds all the answers that one would need.
Wikipedia says:

Grey matter is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and both unmyelinated axons and myelinated axons), glial cells (astroglia and oligodendrocytes) and capillaries.

Pshh, yeah, of course. That�s exactly what I thought it was. Obviously from that definition we can tell that William Bell�s last episode will be about� something that I can�t understand, even when written down. So, pretty much like any other episode of Fringe.

Still, neuopil jokes aside (like that callback?), I�m pretty perturbed about this news. I enjoy Fringe, I always watch it the night that it�s on (unlike some shows), but my problem has been that I really don�t know what�s going on. I don�t know who the bad guy is, what the point of the show is and why all of this is happening.

I�m not a fan of illusive dramas and the fact that questions keep building up while watching this show has me a little frustrated. Now, with the announcement that the William Bell storyline is effectively gone, I have a feeling that some of my answers will go with him.

The only way that I�ll stay quiet about William Bell leaving is if his final episode is EPIC. He better be on for longer than 10min and there better be some face to face time between William Bell and Walter Bishop.
� and there better be a reference to the cow. That�s all I�m saying.

Enough of me. How do you feel about William Bell�s story being over? Do you feel like he�s played his part enough? Have all your questions been answered? Am I watching this show wrong?

Let�s hear it!

My sincerest apologies to the moderators if this news has already been released, or if this thread is in the wrong place. I'm ASSUMING that this news is official, but there is a slight chance that the Facebook page is a hoax. I don't think so, though.

which are you?

Who is John May?

djsunyc — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:01:39 GMT

step right up and place your bets...

i'm throwing my hat into the ring and claim that ana's 2nd in command is john may.

the evidence:

- he came to the restaurant when they were alerted of a 5th column member
- in that same scene, we see a shot of his face with the john may message on the door
- he seemed dissapointed about not having peace
- he kept questioning ana about the message she's trying to convey
- he wasn't in the room when ana was commending the staged assassin

360 Would you buy your next console if it was subsidized?

Budman — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:39:34 GMT

In the mobile/cell phone industry, phone purchases are often subsidized with a contractual agreement. That is, you either receive the phone for free or pay a reduced sum if you agree to maintain a service agreement for a specified number of years.

If with your next console purchase you were given the opportunity to purchase it on a contract basis, that is say you would agree to sign-up for two years of Xbox LIVE service at $10 a month and receive a Xbox 360 Arcade console for $75 or a Xbox 360 Elite for $175, would you?

Note: you could still purchase a Xbox 360 Arcade or Elite for the normal price, but would you purchase the console for a reduced price with a contract commitment?

Do you apologize to friends?

Budman — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:49:04 GMT

If you say or do something "wrong" do you apologize to your friends if you've said or have done something to hurt them? Do they to you? Or do you all have an understanding between friends that when they speak to you again that either they're sorry or they've forgiven you?

I SO suck...

azteclady — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:44:52 GMT

at this.

The short version is this: I have opened an etsy store.

The idea is, you know, to sell things through it.

Therefore, making people aware that it exists is kind of mandatory.

But I suck at self-promotion--not that I am particularly shy or modest, mind; I just feel really uncomfortable pushing my stuff on people.

Still, it's gotta be done... so:

Go check it out. Who knows, you may even find something you like--for yourself or as a gift for someone special!

Pretty please?

Spoiler: Official ABC Episode Description

My "Don't Mistake Coincidence for Fate" Theory

kidlazer — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:34:45 GMT

--get ready for a read but trust me it�s worth it--
(i put this in What i think is going on but it didn't post)

Okay, so i've watched Season 2 and currently going through Season 3 again and reviewing the recent Season 5 in full again. I feel I�ve struck serious gold. (i'm not even done with season 3 and haven't started revisiting seasons 4/5, so this is going to grow)

Now look, my theory in general is that everything we�ve witnessed�the storylines, the side stories�EVERYTHING can be summed up in what Mr. Eko said, "Don't Mistake Coincidence for Fate.�

Everything that seems like destiny is actually really is just that---coincidence�manipulation! (I know this has probably been thought before, but just read lol)

The season 2 episode, Dave, with the food drop REALLY struck out to me. (TPTB REALLY know how to hide mythology in these heavy character-driven episodes.)

I believe that when Ben leaves that room in season 2 episode, Lockdown, to push the button he really did something beside�push the button. We were shown earlier you can 'communicate' with other computers, even though someone has to contact the Swan. Then we we're shown later people can also WATCH the swan. So this leads back to Ben communicating with the Others, at that time he was giving the lists to Others so they can give it to Michael which leads to Season 3 and on cause later in Season 2 and beginning of Season 3 we learn Ben is the immediate leader.

Now, I've been reading theories that the Food Drop happened because the timelines are mixing but nah, I don't buy that nonsense. I think the food drop is just a manipulation to confuse our Losties. The Food Drop just HAPPENS to happen when Ben leaves that room to go push the button. Negative! Something is off and I�m surprised we don't have more theories about mixing all the SEASONS and theories together to understand what's possibly going on here. Jacob and MiB actually being REAL changes so many things and puts things in new perspective.

Onto these 'lists'. If Jacob really is the one making these 'lists' and we're assuming as of this moment since we see he is actually real, then FOR NOW, we can assume that he made the list. But until we see and he says that he didn't make those list (except for the one Ben made) then we are going to go by Jacob actually making these lists! Read on�

But something else also struck me odd in the Season 2 episode 'Dave'. From what we've seen, shouldn't Hugo have been taken? He is probably the MOST good out of EVERYBODY. It doesn't make sense that he wasn't taken. Since the Hostiles go by and live by Jacob and he makes list about people being good�uh, Hugo should have been taken (even though at this point we don�t know if Jacob is on the good or bad side of game board but that doesn�t matter, they obviously recruit people by using a higher power)�

Also in that same episode, Dave�Hugo�s imaginary friend--the illusion is trying to KILL him. So...from the logic that Jacob is good and MiB is bad, why would MiB kill people from his own side. (Here's where Backgammon comes in, the objective of BG is to remove all the pieces/pawns off the board ;-) ). So it could makes sense but at the same time it's still WTF! What makes it more WTF is that in season 2 episode, �Two For The Road�, Ben says that Locke is one of the good ones. But if he was, why wasn't he taken when they first got to the beach, so Ben could have been lying�manipulating these people)

Next, I've noticed more evidence of two sides for the illusions on the island. I'm guessing this has been said before, but just in case�.it seems there's

1)illusions of people who have been dead or died either on or off the island: (Yemi, Boone, Christian, the 3 men Eko killed in the church, and Alex etc.) and

2) the other group are people/animals who are alive but only off-island (Kate's Horse, The alter boy from Eko's flashback, Walt, etc.).

Cause watch the season 3 eppy 'The Cost of Living' in Eko's final centric, those 3 men he killed come out of nowhere, but then a second later the alter-boy comes out and the 3 black men disappear. Almost like....there's 2 forces (because of what I�ve broken down)--A GAME perhaps (but obviously not that simple lol).....The wild card is Claire obviously.

But this where things get extremely tricky and this is what I�m leading up to. Jacob has met some of our Losties at a certain point in all their lives (I say some because at this point, we don�t know if Jacob has met Claire or Charlie). So this means they should have MOST DEFINITELY been taken after they crashed on the island just like when some of Tailies were taken. So following this interesting logic and what I�ve said before this, what if the Hostiles themselves are led to believe they are following Jacob's orders but are actually following MiB's orders but they don't know that.(RICHARD I'M LOOKING AT YOU).

[b][b] The new group that came on the Ajira 315 flight (Bram, Ilana, Cesear(sp)) are DEFINITELY following Jacob because in the Season 5 episode 'The Incident', Jacob himself meets with Ilana (HELL for all we know that could have been a flash-forward lol). So it's going to be interesting because if the Hostiles think they�re doing good but are actually following someone else�s orders that isn�t Jacob�s (MiB�s or Richards) then they are actually on the BAD side! Which means Jacob is the good side, even though the Hostiles aren�t TRULY following Jacob. They just think they are. At this point in time, the ONLY people we know Jacob has touched or brought to the island through our eyes are Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Locke, and Hurley and also that boat at the beginning of the season 5 finale. The only flaw so far I could find in my theory is that when Ilana meets Richard, they greet each other and are possibly on the same side. But at the same time, Ilana may be on the right side, but Richard may not, although unknowingly. So either I�m going to be EXTREMELY wrong, in the ball park (that�s my goal), or I have spoiled a HUGE portion of season 6 lol.

Next, to add a little in-show nugget to this theory, in the season 3 episode, Not In Portland, Carl is being brainwashed lol, but if you watch what it reads, at one point text come up on the screen saying �We are the causes of our own suffering�. Now judging from the talk between MiB and Jacob, Jacob does not AT ALL seem like someone who would say that. I can totally see MiB saying that and then Jacob rebutting with �the human race really are good people and that ,�everything that happens before is just progress!� HELLO IT�S SITTING IN FRONT OF OUR FACES!!!

Because honestly, I can�t see in the end the Losties actually doing something bad for some cause in the end if that makes sense. Because this whole show is about redemption and them being well�.Lost. One of the HUGE twists will be that the Hostiles really aren�t being led by Jacob and I�m going by that.

But at this time, we still don't know who's side is bad or good, we don't know the purpose of everything, the island or anything yet. But I believe, we've been given everything to possibly understand what's going on.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON --> EVERYTHING MANIPULATED HAPPENS FOR SOMEONE'S REASON <-- DON'T MISTAKE COINCEDENCE FOR FATE

And lastly, I'm actually glad they're not showing new pics or promos because EVERYTHING in this next/last season probably does reveal too much.
