DOS Ch-374
The turning point came when Desmond saved a man from dying after he was crushed under a car and began bleeding profusely. Using a belt as a tourniquet seems like a very simple thing to do, but for him to act so decisively in the middle of an emergency without panicking was a real act of heroism. The man’s life was saved when he was brought to the hospital shortly afterward, and the doctor credited Desmond for saving his life. It was there in the emergency room that Desmond looked around and saw…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

is the best coming-of-age movie you’ll see this year Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Rating: 4/4 I had no idea what I was getting into when I walked into the premiere of . I was told by the trailers and the controversy that arrived just before the film’s release that it would be about sex, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a mirror to our society. The beginning of the tale is one that every red-blooded male would know: the urge to lose his virginity before his friends during his teenage…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

Roger chuckled at the scene, for this was the final turning point in his life. Nothing could be worse than the situation he was in. So he goes to Mia and agrees to her proposition of doing business at their place for a night. He throws a big party at his place, only for boys and escorts. All the teenaged suburban boys have quite a bit of cash stored in bonds, which they cash in to spend the night with the girls. Josh does the marketing for their enterprise, going to different guys and selling them on…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“It’s always great to talk to you, Roger, Gene,” Noah greeted the duo of film critics who had been invited to the New York premiere by Columbia Pictures. “The pleasure is all ours,” Roger Ebert replied for both of them. “Though, if I’m honest, I would’ve preferred to see you in the directing seat. I’m still in awe of what you accomplished with on a fraction of the budget of any big-budget blockbuster movie, while still outperforming most of the movies released this year.” Noah…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“Noah! Care to give us a comment about your sex scandal?” “Do you like having sex on a public beach?!” “Are you a nudist?” “Does it turn you on to have other people watch you in the act?” “Who was that girl you made a woman out of?” A million other deliberately provocative questions were thrown my way, and I won’t lie, their strategy was working. I was this close to reaching out and punching someone in the teeth for shouting such bullshit while I was getting…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-52
“Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-51
I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-50
“Action!” At Mr. Gardner’s cue, I took off across the campus, my breath steady as a steadicam operator fell into stride beside me. Renting the rig and hiring someone skilled enough to handle it had been expensive, but it was an expense I couldn’t cut. I had a very specific vision for this scene, and without a steadicam, it simply wouldn’t work. Some things were non-negotiable, even on a micro-budget. Every other outdoor scene had already been shot. This was the last one, held back only…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

It surprised Al Pacino to learn that a mere 18-year-old had written such an impressive story. When Noah left the script for him that day, Al had been irritated. It wasn’t the first time an acquaintance had tried to corner him into working together, and he was usually very good at shutting those attempts down. Still, there was something about Noah that stirred his curiosity. If the boy had managed to sell a script to Columbia and earn enough money to buy a house right next to his, he couldn’t be…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-48
I cut cleanly through the water until I reached the end of the lane, flipped into a smooth turn, and powered back toward the starting block. As I touched the wall, my teammate launched himself forward to face swimmers from the other Ivy League schools. As good a swimmer as I was, there was nothing more I could do once my leg of the relay ended. If I really wanted to, I could temporarily boost my teammates, the same way I had helped Julie while filming The Blue Lagoon. But that would’ve been pushing…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
