29 SEPTEMBER 2008.- RAY WINSTONE AND MORE
"I don't have much of a story, but here it is. Mel was in our restaurant for dinner the other night. He was with two guys, but he was the only one I recognized. He was very low-key and pleasant when he ordered. The guys with Mel ate the Melbourne with Aussie Cheese Fries. Mel said he was dieting so he just ordered French onion soup, Rack of Lamb, Chicken On The Barbie, Fresh Fish of The Day, Chocolate Thunder From Down Under, Chocolate Chocolate Tower and Sydney's Sinful Sundae. They ended up leaving me a 18% tip."

WE HEAR...
That “The Departed” bad guy Ray Winstone has quietly slipped into the role vacated by Robert De Niro in Mel Gibson’s made-in-Mass. flick “Edge of Darkness.”
That you can take the boy out of Australia, but he can’t be far away from the Outback Steakhouse! Word is, Gibson and two other men dined at the meat joint in Peabody the other night. The boys left an 18 percent tip but Gibson, we hear, didn’t pick up the tab.

29 SEPTEMBER 2008.- TWO INTERESTING STORIES
"The Passion of the Christ"
"MEL AND ME"
Source: gkupsidedown.blogspot.com
I was living in London, and it was the year before Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ came out. There was some doubt as to whether Gibson would be able to get backers to help with the distribution of the film. He came to London to meet with Catholics involved in film and media as well as some potential financial backers to show us a rough cut of the movie.

"DON'T PANIC!"
Source: www.ukiahdailyjournal.com
I've always been fascinated by the idea of the end of the world. You have to admit, it is quite a concept: the thought of everything collapsing all at once like that.
Due to our shared interests in zombie movies, my college roommate and I would often trade schemes for our own survival were the dead to ever arise hungry for that living flesh. He even had a 9mm handgun that he kept locked up under his bed that he made me swear not to tell his mom about. (Apparently, she never let him play with toy guns when he was a kid and he now has an insatiable desire for firepower -- concerned parents everywhere should make note of this fact.)
"Well, all I know is that I've got a gun and enough ammunition to get us to Wal-Mart," he would say, weapon in hand during these conversations.
I've always had an affinity for this line of thought, but I bristle at the idea of some pre-destined date of destruction prophesied by the ancients.
I bring this up because in the last two weeks I've had three different people who I don't normally think are crazy separately tell me that some sort of global "shift" will occur on December 21, 2012.
I'm sure there are many other facets to the 12-21-12 idea, but in a nutshell the logic behind it is this:
The Mayan calendar has many divisions of time: months of 20 days, years of 360 days, katun of 7,200 days and a baktun of 144,000 days. Their calendar started on August 12, 3114 B.C. with the birth of
Venus. They expected the world to last for exactly 13 baktun cycles. They anticipated the end of the world near the Winter Solstice of 2012.
Wanting to know more about this phenomenon, I typed the date into the search bar and this is the first thing that came up was the Web site www.december212012.com.

30 SEPTEMBER 2008.- CAMERAS READY TO ROLL IN NORTHAMPTON AREA
As crews prepare a set over the observation tower at the Sugarloaf State Reservation for the upcoming Mel Gibson movie "Edge of Darkness", a visitor looks at the pituresque scenery from atop Mt. Sugarloaf on a recent day.

Camera crews likely will descend on the area within the next few days to film scenes for "Edge of Darkness," a crime thriller starring Gibson, according to Blaise J. Noto, a publicist for the production company, GK Films.
"We probably will be in the Northampton area by the end of the week," Noto said today.
He cautioned that production here could be delayed by a number of factors, but the present plan calls for filming to start in the Northampton area soon.
Boston Casting Co. expects to call on 700 people to appear as extras in the Northampton shoot, according to Julie Arvendon, marketing director for the Boston-based firm.
Extras typically receive the call to show up on the movie set just two or three days before they are needed, Arvendon said.
Hundreds of people turned out for an open casting call at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center in Northampton on Aug. 9. Producers were looking for people to play doctors, nurses, lawyers, court officers, police and old hippies.
Citing the production company's policy, Noto said he could not confirm what local spots will be used in "Edge of Darkness." However, the Hampshire County Courthouse has been mentioned by court officials as a possible site and the state Department of Conservation and Recreation has announced it will close Mount Sugarloaf State Park in Deerfield on Oct. 8-10 to accommodate filmmakers.
Crews are building a temporary structure that covers much of the observation tower at the top of the mountain and has changed the look of the mountain from the valley below.
Principal photography on "Edge of Darkness" began six weeks ago and should conclude by Thanksgiving Day, Noto said.
"Everything is terrific," he said. "People have been wonderful."

30 SEPTEMBER 2008.- MEL GIBSON´S FILM CREW BACK IN LYNN
Source: itemlive.com
Hollywood crews are slated to return to the Lawrence Gannon Municipal Golf Course on Monday to resume filming Edge of Darkness now that actor Robert DeNiro has been replaced by British tough guy Ray Winstone, 51.
DeNiro walked off the set earlier this month after getting into a beef with director Martin Campbell. A DeNiro spokesman attributed the parting of ways to artistic differences.
Bobby D. was slated to play a CIA operative whose mission is to destroy the evidence. That responsibility has been shifted to Winstone, who is scheduled to be in Lynn from Monday through Wednesday.
Andrea Scalise, staff aide to Mayor Edward J. Clancy Jr., confirmed the film company will be back at Gannon for three days. Gibson isn't expected on the set, she said, noting that the actor was spotted dining a few nights ago at the Outback Steakhouse on Route 114 in Danvers.

1 OCTOBER 2008.- BEST MOVIES CHARACTERS
Pictures: Greatest movie characters
Source: www.news.com au
Heath Ledger's haunting Joker has been voted as the second greatest movie character of all time behind Indiana Jones, in a new poll.
Out today in Empire Magazine, the list of the top 100 characters sees Darth Vader, Captain Jack Sparrow and Hannibal Lecter round out the top five.
Empire editor Rod Yates said it was no surprise that Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, took the top spot, but said the late Ledger's Joker in the Dark Knight was also impressive.
More than 80 per cent who voted for the Joker chose Ledger's interpretation over Jack Nicholson's, the magazine said.
The defining moment was Ledger's Joker taunting Batman in the interrogation room, it said.
"A fitting tribute to a much-missed actor," Mr Yates said.
Among other characters played by Australians to make the list were Michael Caton's Darryl Kerrigan from the local hit The Castle (72) and Barry Crocker for his portrayal of Barry McKenzie (67).
Mel Gibson featured twice, for Mad Max (49) and William Wallace in Braveheart (34).
Crocodile Dundee was 78th, followed by Wolverine from X Men, played by Hugh Jackman, while Russell Crowe's Maximus from Gladiator came in at number 90.
Star Wars movies had the most characters in the list.
Seventeen per cent of characters are psychos while 7 per cent are cops.
The special edition of Empire out today features all the 100 characters on the cover.
