How ‘Go,’ the Wildest, Druggiest, Horniest Cult Movie of 1999 Got Made (And Almost Didn't)
[url]https://www.gq.com/story/how-the-craziest-cult-movie-of-1999-got-made[/url]
Twenty-five years after it came out—and got bulldozed in theaters by The Matrix—the timeline-twisting indie comedy Go looks better than ever. In this GQ oral history, director Doug Liman, writer John August, and members of the cast (including then-rising stars Timothy Olyphant and Sarah Polley) tell us how it really went down. Two words: “Tantra, baby!”
Eddie Furlong was originally cast as John Connor in Terminator 3 but lost the role after a cocaine overdose.

[quote]The studio made Eddie sign a multimillion dollar contract stating he agreed to stay clean during the production of T3. After signing the deal, he and his buddies went out clubbing on a cocaine binge in celebration. At some point, Eddie did a massive line of coke in the bathroom and shortly went into a seizure after. He states that he has no memory of overdosing and came to surrounded by his friends and other patrons. An ambulance was called and the scene turned into a spectacle. The studio got word of the event and dropped Furlong from the movie.

What Happened to JEFFREY JONES?

[quote]Lydia Deetz, her stepmother Delia and her daughter Astrid stand over a casket, the burial services in progress. We can barely make out who the funeral is for but there he is on the headstone: Charles Deetz. While Charles was once part of the BEETLEJUICE sequel when the ghost with the most was to “go Hawaiian”, he was written entirely out of BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE...for reasons that will soon be obvious. Despite the original’s and sequel’s dalliances with the afterlife, Jeffrey Jones will not be in BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE – or pretty much any other legitimate movie – following his disgraceful tumble from his small but reliable spotlight. Perfectly fitting into prestigious period pieces and goofball funny flicks. Jones is a Golden Globe nominee with consistent work – a mix of villain, comedic and at times patriarchal roles, Jeffrey Jones went from FERRIS BUELLER baddie to WHO’S YOUR CADDY?[/quote]
Why Drew Barrymore's "Momala" comment was so offensive

While Barrymore held Harris in high regard, she did so "with a historical blindness," Blow wrote. Blow pointed to several stereotypes Black women face, and said that "in this case, the stereotype at play is that of the mammy — the caretaker, the bosom in which all can rest, the apron on which we have a right to hang.

Report: NBC Could Steal NBA Rights from TNT to the Tune of Around $2.5 Billion Per Year
[url]https://barrettsportsmedia.com/2024/04/29/report-nbc-could-steal-nba-rights-from-tnt-to-the-tune-of-around-2-5-billion-per-year/[/url]
[quote]A report from the Wall Street Journal says NBC is making an offer around $2.5 billion per year to obtain part of the NBA media rights package. Joel Flint, Amol Sharma and Isabella Simonetti all contributed to the story which says Warner Bros. Discovery is making a “last-ditch effort” for TNT to continue as an NBA partner.
The TNT portion of the current agreement, which expires after next season, is an average of $1.2 billion. ESPN had been paying $1.5 billion and that is expected to increase over $1 billion annually.
Last week, reports surfaced from Puck’s John Ourand that ESPN was nearing completion of their portion of the package and that it would include the NBA Finals staying on ABC. All indications had been there would be more than two partners in the next deal and that it would include a streaming network. Andrew Marchand of The Athletic also reported last week that Amazon Prime Video and the league “have the framework of a deal” and that it would include “significant regular season and postseason games, perhaps even conference finals.”
The WSJ report says NBC’s discussions with the NBA have been about carrying two prime-time games a week. This is important as WBD has matching rights in their current agreement. However, they do not own a broadcast network and therefore could not offer something similar to NBC.
Multiple reports have said any new agreements will be for a period of ten years.[/quote]

I also wonder if the drowning death of his two year old daughter Aaren in 1979 may have also help start O.J.'s "descent" into darkness if you will.

I believe that O.J. blamed his first wife Marguerite on Aaren's death and they divorced shortly after that.

[quote]After the Aaron Hernandez thing, I'm not so sure that Simpson wasn't suffering from CTE - it fit the profile.[/quote]
Chris Benoit also. After he murdered his wife and son and then killed himself, it was uncovered that he had a brain that resembled an 85 year old Alzheimer's patient. And bare in mind that Benoit was only 40 years old at the time.

I remember Dr. Bennet Omalu, who was the subject of the Will Smith movie Concussion, say that he would bet his medical license on the fact that O.J. Simpson had CTE.

I wonder if there are still people out there who believe in that one conspiracy theory about O.J.'s son Jason being the one who really committed the murders:
