During his audition, Y was sparring with X and
accidentally punched him on the chin. X told Y to
calm down, as it was only an audition, and Y said
that if he was allowed to audition with a 'real'
actor, not a stand-in, he would be able to do a lot
better. Director John G. Avildsen smiled and told Y
that X was the real actor (and the writer). Y
looked at X thoughtfully for a moment, and said,
"Well, maybe he'll get better." X immediately
offered him the role.

• During the production of the movie X the production designer
Edward T. McAvoy had to solve a problem. How to make a Y that
was so special that the film's character Z would absolutely not allow
his stinking boss to steal it from him and keep it. How would one
said production designer do so? Well, by giving Z a fire engine red
Swingline Y of course! With this idea in head, he called up Swingline
and asked if they made such a Y. They unfortunately did not.
McAvoy then asked: "Well, do you mind if I use your logo on the
side of a Y I'm going to paint red?". Swingline did not mind

X: Could I get a bottle of water. - - Hey, aren't you Peter La Fleur?
Peter La Fleur: Lance Armstrong!
X: Yeah, that's me. But I'm a big fan of yours.
Peter La Fleur: Really?
X: Yeah, I've been watching the dodgeball tournament on the Ocho. ESPN 8. I just
can't get enough of it. But, good luck in the tournament. I'm really pulling for you
against those jerks from Globo Gym. I think you better hurry up or you're gonna
be late.
Peter La Fleur: Uh, actually I decided to quit... Lance.
X: Quit? You know, once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed with
brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time. But with the love and
support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and I won ____ five times
in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying from
that's keeping you from the finals?
Peter La Fleur: Right now it feels a little bit like... shame.
X: Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't
have anything to regret for the rest of their life. But good luck to you Peter. I'm
sure this decision won't haunt you forever.

Hitler and Goebbels believed
that film was a very potent
tool for moulding public
opinion. The Nazis first
established a film
department in 1930 and
Goebbels had taken a
personal interest in the use
of film to promote the Nazi
philosophy and agenda.
Soon after the Nazi takeover,
Goebbels was insisting in
speeches that the role of the
German cinema was to serve
as the "vanguard of the Nazi
military" as they set forth to
conquer the world.

• After Rocky IV's release, a joke was making
rounds that since Rocky had run out of
opponents, he would have to fight an alien in
the fifth instalment. Screenwriters Jim and
John Thomas took the joke seriously and
wrote a screenplay based on the joke.

• What resulted?

X (original teaser title: Someone Wants to Meet You) is a
2000 television film that premiered on Nickelodeon on the
night of October 28, 2000. The film was never aired outside
the United States nor dubbed into other languages. It was also
never re-aired or released on VHS or any other software
media until 2011. It was believed to be because of
controversies surrounding this film, that involved several
parents complaining about the film's content that they found
the film to be too scary and inappropriate for children. But a
Nickelodeon representative stated that the film had been
merely forgotten. Nick.com, however, claimed that it has been
banned. In 2011, a copy was discovered on Reddit and the
ensuing reaction prompted TeenNick to re-air the film on
October 31, 2011, which they did for Halloween.

The Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC, also known as the Edison
Trust), founded in December 1908, was a trust of all the major
American film companies
(Edison, Biograph, Vitagraph,Essanay, Selig, Lubin, Kalem, Star Film
Company) the leading film distributor (George Kleine) and the biggest
supplier of raw film stock, Eastman Kodak. The MPPC ended the
domination of foreign films on American screens, standardized the
manner in which films were distributed and exhibited in America, and
improved the quality of American motion pictures by internal
competition.
Many independent filmmakers, who controlled from one-quarter to
one-third of the domestic marketplace, responded to the creation of
the MPPC by moving their operations so that the distance from
Edison's home base of New Jersey made it more difficult for the MPPC
to enforce its patents.
As a result the X was born.

According to CNN X has a US250 million dollor
industry.

X was originally activated by the military to control the national

arsenal on August 4, 1997, at which time it began to learn at a
geometric rate. On August 29, panicking operators realized the
extent of its abilities and tried to deactivate it. X perceived this
as an attack and to defend itself, X launched nuclear missiles
under its command at Russia, which responded with a nuclear
counter-attack against the U.S. and its allies. Consequent to the
nuclear exchange, over three billion people were killed in an
event that came to be known as Y.

Who on what? Also Y and Z
• “I was so extravagantly impressed by the portrayal of
the reality of zero gravity. Going through the space
station was done just the way that I've seen people do
it in reality. ……around the spacecraft the way Y was. It
really points out the degree of confusion and bumping
into people, and when the tether gets caught, you're
going to be pulled -- I think the simulation of the
dynamics was remarkable.
• We were probably not as lighthearted as Y and Z. We
didn't tell too many jokes when people were in some
position of jeopardy outside the spacecraft, but I think
that's the humanity coming through in the characters.”

• Buzz aldrin on gravity
• Y= George Clooney
• Z= Sandra Bullock

X was shot under the title "The Eighth Day". This was a
reference to the Biblical creation story, which states that the earth
was created in six days and on the seventh day, God rested. The
original title implies the tampering of man with what God has
already made, and "The Eighth Day" is still the name of the
center in the movie where the children are engineered, as noted
on the DVD deleted scenes. By the time the much-delayed
release of the film came around, the same title had been used by
the Belgian film The Eighth Day. Because of this, writerdirector Andrew Niccol was forced to choose a new title for his
film.
What is the new title?
Hint: The name “X" is composed entirely of the letters used to
label the nucleotide bases of DNA. The four nitrogen bases of
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and
guanine.

In the movie Y, X's license plate is "IS 5416", which refers to Isaiah 54:16 from the
Bible: "Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that
bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy."
Johnny Depp – wasn’t interested – salary 1 million.

Chicago Sun Times reported (July 1st, 2002) mentioned at the MIB2 press conference
that he turned down the Z lead in Y to do "Wild Wild West." "I was like, 'Yeah right,
‘Y.' Computers have taken over the world. I think I'd better go off and do that good
film 'Wild Wild West.'" Ironically, his wife has a role in the sequels.

David Duchocny – Decided to do the X-file movie instead. Salary 2 million.
Z – The last and final candidate. Salary 10 million.

After producers Irwin Winkler and Robert Chartoff became interested in
the script, they offered writer _____ an unprecedented $350,000 for the
rights, but he refused to sell unless they agreed to allow him to star in
the film (this despite the fact that he had only $106 in the bank, no car
and was trying to sell his dog because he couldn't afford to feed it). They
agreed, but only on the condition that ____ continue to work as a writer
without a fee and that he work as an actor for scale. After Winkler and
Chartoff purchased the film, they took it to United Artists, who
envisioned a budget of $2 million, but that was on the basis of using an
established star (they particularly wanted Robert Redford, Ryan
O'Neal, Burt Reynolds or James Caan). United Artists didn't want _____
to star, and when Winkler and Chartoff told them that the only way they
could get him to sell the screenplay was to agree to cast him, United
Artists cut the budget to $1 million, and had Chartoff and Winkler sign
agreements that if the film went over budget, they would be personally
liable. The final cost of the film was $1.1 million. The $0.1 million came
after Chartoff and Winkler mortgaged their homes so as to complete the
project.

Every Simpsons fan worth his or her weight in
the yellowy gold color of those animated
characters knows and loves the character of
McBain. He is the ultra-macho, Schwarzeneggerlike hero whose ongoing movie clips show up
periodically during episodes.

Whats is special about these clips?

These clips are lined up in order they form a
mini-movie with an actual, virtually flawless
storyline!

"He saw the true face of the 20th century and
chose to become a reflection, a parody of it. No one
else saw the joke, that's why he was lonely. Heard a
joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed.
Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all
alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead
is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is
simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go
and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts
into tears. Says "But, doctor...I am Pagliacci." Good
joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
Fade to black."

To a song of love lost and rediscovered, a woman
sees and undergoes surreal transformations. Her
lover's face melts off, she dons a dress from the
shadow of a bell and becomes a dandelion, ants
crawl out of a hand and become Frenchmen riding
bicycles. Not to mention the turtles with faces on
their backs that collide to form a ballerina, or the
bizarre baseball game. From the melting clocks and
hourglass sand, to the figure rendered in strips, to
the character covered in eyeballs, the style and
themes of X are clearly recognizable throughout.
Storyline of ?

This album was released Nov 02, 1999 on the
Hemisphere label. X collects Arabic pop music by
artists hailing from Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt,
and Morocco.X music CDs has tracks like Amr Diabs

Danias "Yalla Ya Habibi," Samira Saids "Kol de
Eshaat," and Hamid El Sharis "Tohgorny" capturing
the lush arrangements, hypnotic rhythms, and
passionate vocals of contemporary Arabic music.
Like strolling through a crowded bazaar filled with
vendors selling mix tapes from all over the Middle
East, an ear- pleasing mix of expressive singers and
passionate, exciting urban music. Unless you are an
arabic pop music fan,only way to get to the name of
the album is by looking closely at the album cover.

• In the world of entertainment, how do we
better know the movie moguls Jack, Harry,
Albert and Sam?

Similarities between X and the famous fictional
detective Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle appear throughout the series. Both
characters play instruments (X plays the piano,
the guitar, and the harmonica; Holmes, the
violin) and take drugs (X is addicted to Y; Holmes
uses cocaine).
Shore said that Xs name itself is
meant as "a subtle homage" to Holmes. Xs
building number is 221B, a direct reference. X
and Y

• A village in Raigad district, Maharashtra in
reality, thefilm makers fantasized X as an

was thusfavoured by antagonist for his shady
business. IdentifyX.
