This is a fab pic, Spesh!
You have to thank Stubborn, she is the mistress of the screencaps. I just cropped and edited.
Great pic of Austi - and I a definitely want to see Spoon on SNL - love their song "The Underdog", very amusing! ;)
God I would love to nipple on that little flank muscle. One of my favorite [laces to visit. LOL! Damn though he is cute.

Why was there a picture of him on SNL?
AG- there was no picture of Austy on SNL. Spesh is saying that this picture, taken with the fact that Spoon was on SNL lat night, will help transport us all back to the ACL festival.
That's a gorgeous picture. I wish I had thought of it first.
Thanks for linking to my journal.
I really like your site and the positive feeling I get from it. As somebody said, there are never too many Austin (and Jake) sites :)
Hey Spooky2th
Thanks for stopping by, love your site! I am in awe of some of the pictures you have found of our favorite tall Texan.
You're right there are never too many sites.
Austin is on to great things. Friday Night Lights is the next stop.
Love that action shot of Austin. My thanks to everyone who's outdoing themselves to bring us some great photos and news about both J&A (especially Austin because the news/photos aren't as readily available). :)
Article on how Bush's disregard for the Geneva Convention affected our relations with European nations. And what happened when administrations officials objected.

Heph, interesting that Condoleeza Rice tried to raise the issue of rendition with President Bush but she found her progress blocked by Vice President Cheney.
Thanks so much to all of you for the pics, articles, links and news. I only had time to lurk these past few days on account of work-work-work and more work. But it's finaly over (till Tuesday that is) so now, true to my word, I will slouch down in my best armchair and watch "Bubble Boy".
I got my copy of "The Informers" on Thursday. Very good novel but to avoid at all costs if you feel depressed or have temporary lost faith in humanity.
If Austin is cast as the rock star he will have to play a totally clueless, sadistic junkie. Right now I'm trying to match the sporty energetic Austy pic of this post with the mental image of that rocker scumbag and the result is, hmmm, very intriguing and appetizing. :D

Looking forward to your report :)
Bubble Boy quote
Mrs. Livingston: And then Pinocchio came out of his plastic bubble and touched the filthy little whore next door and died. The End!
No way will Austin get cast as the rock star--first off: he's much older than Austin--in his late 30s/early 40s and he's British. Okay, Austin could do a British accent (I think) but he's too young and fresh for this burned out, older rock star/has-been.
I'm so sad he's not playing Martin though (I see someone else got cast in the role). Based on that sighting with Ashlee Simpson, I'm betting Austin is playing the studio exec who befriends Ashlee's character (whose name is Anne)--who later ends up either dying of a drug overdose or murdered--in the meantime, Anne and his "friends" have moved in, taking over his house. Not a big role in the book--in fact, the story of Randy is told by Anne through letters to a friend.
And if Austin is indeed playing Randy, it'll be a very short shoot for him because again, that's not a big role at all.
Just finished reading Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis. (Haven't read The Informers yet).
I'm a bit "meh" about Lunar Park. It seems to be by a writer who's lost his inspiration because the protaganist is a semi-fictional Bret. It's a bit like when rock bands release "the difficult third album", and it's all songs about being in a rock band cos thay've lost touch with "normal" life.
I read Less than Zero and American Psycho, and thought the flat, unemotional style of writing was appropriate for the subjects but I found it too blank for this novel.
In the beginning of Lunar Park the fictional Bret is married, and describes with some amused frustration being pegged as a gay writer because of admitting to some same-sex experimentation in college. (Which happened for the real Bret.) Then, by the end of the novel he's not with his wife and fictional Bret is in a relationship with a male artist lover, which he describes with affection, and very matter of factly. (This also happened for the real Bret).
Still, there's a lot of BEE fans out there, and a lot of people keen to see the adaptation of The Informers. Just wouldn't start with LP if I was anybody new to his writing.
Lenexa 1 Mile is being shown at FilmFest Kansas City on Oct. 25:
"'Lenexa 1 Mile': Shot in the KC area in 2005, the writing/directing debut of actor Jason Wiles (TV’s “Third Watch”) is the semi-autobiographical story of a group of young people frittering away a Midwestern summer (“Fights, fake IDs, field parties, beer,” according to Wiles). The coming-of-age story was filmed in Johnson County and KC, with one extended sequence shot at Kelly’s in Westport.
The cast is deep: Jason Ritter, Jennifer Hall, Chris Klein (“American Pie”), Austin Nichols, Paul Wesley, Josh Stewart and familiar on-screen faces like William Baldwin, Michael Rooker and Michael Beach.
Wiles (a graduate of Shawnee Mission West) and Klein will be in town for two screenings: a $100-a-seat fundraiser for the KC Film Commission at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 and a festival screening at 9 that night."

Someone probably mentioned this previously, but I just realized that Jason Wiles, the director of Lenexa, was also in Fincher's Zodiac.
Blue, I loved Jason Ritter in Joan of Arcadia! So glad to see he's in Lenexa.
Thanks Blue.
I do have to see Lenexa,1 mile. My family lives in Johnson County and just from the trailer I was calling out all the places that I knew. I remember them telling me when there was a movie shooting in the KC area. I didn't know then that it was one with Austin in it.
Westport is a great funky eclectic neighborhood in KC. It is the entertainment district in KC with great clubs and bars.
Some clarification on Austin's court date. It looks like the November 6th date is a continuance of his Pre-trial.
What does that mean, special K?
Does Austin have to be there in person for his Pre-Trial?
Just saw this:
"but it's been confirmed that Transformers 2 is set for release in 2009, with Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg, Shia LaBeouf and original screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci back on board. Joining the writing team is the man behind Scream 3, The Brothers Grimm and the upcoming television mini-series The Talisman, Ehren Kruger.
While I'm neither here nor there on most of this guy's films (that I've seen), what interests me is that he's currently set to write a film based on Brian Michael Bendis' graphic novel Torso, to be directed by David Fincher and starring Jake Gyllenhaal."
Hmmmm very interesting.
Many of us remember the Summer of 06 when Jake has a temporary tattoo with the word Torso down his forearm. Was it to get Fincher's attention? Or was it to give his fans a clue about future plans? Now about that Fu Manchu mustache this past spring? Is that a hint to the Namath biography?
Jake in summer 2006 with TORSO tattoo
A a henna tatoo? Smart boy!
Thanks GC for the link for the pic.
That's the one!
New Post too.
When a court proceeding is continued, the defense and prosecution go into court and ask that it be postponed to a later date. As long as both sides are in agreement, there is no problem. Often continuances are done before the scheduled date and neither party actually shows up on the scheduled day. Continuances happen all the time, due to the high volume of cases both the defense and prosecution have to deal with.
I'm not sure if Austin actually has to show up at his pre-trial. I think Austin's attorney can waive his presence, which means that the attorney will act on Austin's behalf in court with him having to be there. Many court proceedings happen without the client being there.
Thanks, Wicked
