Sunday September 7 6:17 AM ET

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Tommy Lee Jones is suing the makers of "No Country for Old Men" for more than $10 million that the Oscar-winning actor claims he is owed for starring in the 2007 hit crime thriller.

The lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claims that Jones was promised "significant box-office bonuses" and other compensation depending on the success of the film, which went on to make more than $160 million.

The movie, which is set in Texas and based on a critically acclaimed Cormac McCarthy novel, garnered four Academy Awards, including "Best Picture."

A message left for Paramount Pictures on Saturday was not immediately returned. Jones declined to comment through his publicist, Jennifer Allen, the San Antonio Express-News reported.

"The paperwork stands for itself," Allen said.


Seeeeerrriously?

Soooo, I need to produce two twenty minuet films to submit to AFI along with my application and several essays.

The only problem is that, aside from my journal entries and the Exquisite corpse, I really haven't written anything reassembling a short story in quite some time.

I honestly, can not think of a single damn thing to write.

How does one over come such a mammoth of a writer's block?

Also, when ever I hear the expression, "writer's block", I recall an old Muppet Babies episode where Kermit encounters a writers block and actually goes on an expedition through the jungle and finds the said block in the middle of some ancient jungle and climbs over it Indian Jones style.

Also, I think I'm developing a bad case of the ol' flat butt syndrome from sitting so long.

Also, I think I may be going bald.

What's that stuff called that you sprinkle on fires to make the flames change color and stuff?

yeah.

I don't know if you know of them, but they are orgasmacially cool.

They're the creators behind the beloved Tale of How


The Tale of How from Shy the Sun on Vimeo.

Maybe one of the most impressive things is that they're a team of only three core individuals.

I don't kow if anyone else here gets as excited about creative organizations like this as I do, but I thought I'd post them up anyway. there's some really cool stuff on their site.

so, the little plume of smoke in this skittles commercial:



How would one go about recreating that? I'm no pyrotechnic.

So, I've been trying to get windows to recognize my camera for about two days.

This is usually a very simple process.

I've tried hooking up my Panasonic HVX200, and then an XL1S

When I plug it in, it'll run through the new hardware wizard but then fail to install it properly. It'll show up in the device manager but with a question mark by it, signifying that it is not functioning properly.

I'm using the SIIG 800 3 port firewire card.

I'm on service pack 2 right now.


I'm kind of running out of ideas.

ever...



That is all.

how to I save an illustrator doc as gray scale file?

soooooooooo, I'm trying to access the wireless network my little brother set up about a year ago. My computer recognizes the access point but I still need the pass phrase to gain access to the secured network.

I'm on the computer that he set it up on (our home PC) but can not find the pass phrase anywhere in the internet or network properties.

My brother can't remember what the pass phrase is either.

Anyone, anyone?
