| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | Because of this, the studio has delayed it's release and that of several other movies... LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Reality hit home in Hollywood on Wednesday as studios delayed release of two major films featuring bombs or terrorists -- including Arnold Schwarzenegger's ``Collateral Damage'' -- and yanked ads for ''Spider-Man'' a day after the deadliest attacks in U.S. history. Executives at the nation's major television networks, too, reconsidered their fall TV schedules with one, NBC, deciding to postpone fall premieres altogether by at least a week to make way for ongoing news coverage of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (news - web sites), which may have left thousands dead. Walt Disney Co.'s Touchstone Pictures postponed the September 21 premiere of comedy film ``Big Trouble,'' starring Tim Allen, and AOL Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. delayed its October 5 release of ``Collateral Damage,'' in which Schwarzenegger goes after terrorists. Neither studio set new debut dates for the movies. Based on a novel by Miami-based humorist Dave Barry, ``Big Trouble'' follows a group of people who find a mysterious suitcase leading to a terrorist plot revolving around a black-market nuclear bomb, shady businessmen, FBI (news - web sites) agents and hit men. ``NATIONAL TRAGEDY'' CITED A two-sentence statement from Touchstone cited the ''national tragedy that occurred'' as the reason for the delay. In ``Collateral Damage,'' Schwarzenegger portrays a fireman who sees his wife and son die in the terrorist bombing of a building. But when he travels to South America to avenge the deaths, he finds himself caught up in political intrigue. Similarly, Warner Bros. issued a statement citing ''yesterday's tragic events'' as a reason for its action. Sony Pictures Entertainment, a division of Japan's Sony Corp (news - web sites)., pulled from theaters trailers for next May's ''Spider-Man'' in which bank robbers are caught in a web spun between the World Trade Center towers. Sony also recalled posters in which the towers are shown in a reflection of the comic book hero's eyes. On U.S. airwaves, Disney's ABC television network canceled a planned broadcast on Saturday of the 1997 thriller ``The Peacemaker,'' which involves nuclear terrorism. HUMOR AND ROMANCE INSTEAD ``It just didn't seem appropriate at this time,'' network spokeswoman Annie Fort said. ABC instead will air the romantic comedy ``Hope Floats,'' starring Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr., and an episode of ``America's Funniest Home Videos.'' Likewise, Fox is bumping a Sunday broadcast of the 1996 hit film ``Independence Day,'' in which aliens destroy the White House and New York's Empire State Building, and instead will air a repeat of ``That '70s Show'' and the film comedy ``Mrs. Doubtfire,'' a network spokesman said. And on Friday, Fox will replace the feature-length ''X-Files'' movie, which includes a scene of an office building blowing up, with the romantic comedy ``Nine Months,'' starring Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore. But the biggest development in television came with NBC's announcement to push back its heavily promoted premiere week of new shows to September 24 from the planned September 17. ``In light of the recent tragic events in our country, NBC has decided to postpone the premieres of the network's fall prime-time programs ... Further developments could alter this plan,'' the network said in a brief statement. ABC and CBS executives also were contemplating postponing the premieres of returning series and new shows next week due to the heavy demand for news, network officials said. The smaller Fox network is less affected because its fall lineup follows a more staggered schedule with many new shows not slated to debut for several weeks. All major networks said they were taking a hard look at their fall shows to safeguard against content that might seem insensitive in light of Tuesday's tragedy. A number of upcoming shows feature stories that may strike too close to recent events, including several CIA (news - web sites)-themed dramas -- ABC's ``Alias,'' CBS' ``The Agency'' and Fox's ``24.'' NBC's fall lineup also includes the espionage-themed new drama ``UC Undercover.'' Another NBC show likely to draw network scrutiny is a five-hour miniseries slated to run across the three editions of NBC's ``Law & Order'' that centers on an act of terrorism against the United States. CBS is a unit of Viacom Inc., and Fox is a division of Fox Entertainment Group Inc., which is controlled by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. Ltd.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I have an odd question, and since it is somewhat entertainment related, I guess I will ask it here. Does anyone know if they have told the people in the Big Brother house what happened and if in fact that game is still in progress? I can't imagine that in a time like this they would be allowing people to continue playing a game when they should be with their families. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: According to my sister, who follows the show and website, the answer is yes and no. I was told that they have been informed but to no great extent. Monica was allowed to phone family because she is from NY. Since there is only one week left, and they don't feel anyone in the house was directly effected, they decided to continue. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | They are going to air Big Brother tonight? Are you sure, that seems rather odd that they would resume regular programming so soon. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | I actually posted about this in the "offical" WTC thread how Big Trouble is postponed since it has a bomb (i watned to see this but it seems unimportant now), Colatteral Damage is postponed, SpiderMan Teaser being yanked just because it shows the Trade Center (which I disagree with since we shouldn't try to erase it from history),. From the Joker's Big Brother message board which constantly has updates from the live feeds they were just told a WTC attack but nothing more. And yes ass-fucker, I remember that episode of TLG. It was the pilot (no pun intended but it WAS the first) episode and had the government using a plane to crash into an NY building via remote feeling that hundreds of terrorist groups would take credit for it so we'd have an enemy. It was the episode with Byers' father.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I got this update from BigBrotherAgain.com: BigBrotherAgain.com has learned that CBS may be thinking of taking the 500,000 and splitting it 3 ways and ending the show. We have been told that this option may be given to the houseguests to vote upon as early as tomorrow. We have also heard that if they do not do that they may be airing a show Saturday, Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday of next week. We will try to keep you informed as best we can.

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | This just in: Sony is eliminating all shots of the WTC from the final print of Spider-Man. To me this is cheapening the of the people who died and the Towers by eliminating it from memory. Use the millions it will take to digitally eliminate it from the final film and send it to the familys!!! "Drop the Bomb, Exterminate them all"- Colonel Kurtz | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | According to Dark Horizons.com "certain pro-censorship advocate groups are sensing the frenzy and pushing their own agendas past the point of good reason. Requests are apparently being sent in to video stores to pull films like "Die Hard", "Deep Impact", "Independence Day", "Armageddon" and the "Earthquake in New York" mini-series from their shelves and getting cable/regular TV networks to never show them again."

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | a new addition from Creators.com HOLLYWOOD'S NEW REALITY: Talk about being vigilant! Dee Wallace Stone has been called in to change a line in "E.T." because of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. Steven Spielberg's classic tale of a lovable extraterrestrial is being rereleased next year for its 20th anniversary. Stone, who plays the mother figure in the feature, explains, "There was some reference to one of the Halloween characters in the film looking like a terrorist, so we're going in to reloop that line." She says the re-release of "E.T." will have "new footage, from what I understand." It will also have a major push. "They already have the "Oprah" show and several big things planned that they've asked me to participate in." Fucking pussy ass Spielberg.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | When E.T. first came out on video tape, that line was originally edited out. This big fat woman from Plattsburgh who saw the movie over 100 times in the theatre pointed in out and had an article written about her in the Plattsburgh newspaper. She tastes like a gyro. I loathe the Froy. | ||||
