Entertainment News for Early November 2001
Bobby Gets a Timeout in DC
Newly hired Indiana Pacers head coach Bobby Knight was assessed two technical fouls and ejected from the Washington Federals home opener at the MCI Center. Halfway through the third quarter, Knight was given a technical foul for throwing a hissy fit after Reggie Miller was penalized for a defensive foul. As Michael Jordan of the Federals was about to shoot a technical free throw, Knight picked up his chair and flung it in Jordan's direction. Mike avoided the chair and Knight was given another technical and told to leave by referee Dick Bavetta. Knight, pelted with food and drink by pissed off Federal fans, punched a fan in the face on his way to the visitors' tunnel. Commissioner David Stern will announce his discipline of Knight at a press conference later today in New York.

The Wednesday Before Thanksgiving
The Oval Office
President Harvey Weinstein
"Ari, do me a favor. Give Walt Disney, Jr. a phone call. I wanna know why I'm not in the Hall of Presidents yet."
TWO HOURS LATER
Ari Fleischer
White House Press Secretary
"Mr. President, I just got off the phone with Junior. You're not getting an animatronic because he's still very upset that you accused his father of antisemitism on the campaign trail. You know that's a freakin' lie, right? Plus, the other day when you spoke at that luncheon at the NYU Film School, you mocked Tiffany for having to wear diapers at age 18. What am I supposed to tell the media about that in my next briefing? Heck, how did your brother get security clearance after you turned your film company over to him?"

Star Trek
Released by RKO Radio Pictures on November 21, 2001

Quentin Tarantino
Lawrence Bender
Screenplay by
Quentin Tarantino
Story by
Peter David
Based upon characters created by

Music by
Jerry Goldsmith
Alexander "Sandy" Courage
Main Cast
Edward Norton as Captain James T. Kirk
Johnny Depp as Mr. Spock

Sophie Okonedo as Uhura
Pasha Lynchnikoff as Chekov

Storyline
The story is pretty much an expansion of "A Piece of the Action," an episode from the Original Series in which the Enterprise crew travel to Sigma Iotia II, a planet that based its culture on the mobsters of 1920's and 1930's America.
Notes
RKO had originally planned to have the original actors from the first series reprise their roles with motion capture technology as a digital fountain of youth. However, the CGI tests conducted by Industrial Light and Magic proved unsatisfactory to director Quentin Tarantino, who called the process "unnecessary." Also, DeForest Kelley, who played Bones on the original series, passed away before he could participate in the mocap tests.
Musicana
Released by Walt Disney Pictures on November 21, 2001.
Supervising Director
Don Hahn
SEGMENTS
Experience the Rusty Cage
Director: James Algar (Sorcerer's Apprentice footage)
Featuring: Jimi Hendrix and Soundgarden
Experience the Rusty Cage combines the footage of the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment from the original Fantasia synced with Jimi Hendrix's song Are You Experienced and Soundgarden's Rusty Cage. Previously shown only once on VH1's Fantasia: Music Evolved, but this time with improved syncing.
By the Bayou
Director: Mike Gabriel
Story: Mel Shaw, Floyd Norman and Joe Grant
Featuring: Harry Connick, Jr., Kermit Ruffins, Gus St. Pierre
In the swamps of Louisiana, a colony of frogs take the form of a jazz band.
Quetzalcoatl (The Feathered Serpent)
Directed by: Duncan Marjoribanks
Story by: Marco Guerrero
Featuring: Carlos Santana and Rita Moreno
As the title indicates, this segment tells the tale of the Aztec god of life as he comes to life to ward off the Tzitzimime ("Monsters descending from above").
Bohemian Rhapsody
Directed by: Ron Clements and Jon Musker
Featuring: Queen
The City of Agrabah is the backdrop for Ron and Jon's interpretation of Bo Rap. The Ring and Lamp Genies clone themselves to sing Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon's lyrics in the "opera section" of the song.
Hero of the Day
Written and directed by: Daniel Abbott
Featuring: Metallica and Michael Kamen
Hero of the Day uses the S&M arrangement of the song, which combines symphonic score with Metallica's gritty guitars and drums. The animation takes place in a pro wrestling ring with Florian (Snow White), Henry (Cinderella), Phillip (Sleeping Beauty), Alexis (Rapunzel), Eric (The Little Mermaid), Aladdin, Hercules and Shang (Mulan) as the combatants in a royal rumble. Only one can be crowned Hero of the Day.
One More Time
Directed by: Kazuhisa Takenouchi, Leiji Matsumoto and Lachlan Cunningham
Featuring: Daft Punk
Uses stock footage from 20th Century-Fox's English dub of Urusei Yatsura.
An extended version of the song with scenes from Urusei Yatsura edited to make Lum, Ataru and other characters appear to lip-sync the words.
Points of Authority and In the End
Director: Joe Hahn
Animated by Blue Sky Studios
Featuring: Linkin Park
The grand finale to Musicana combines a new Reanimation remix of Points of Authority with the original Hybrid Theory version of In the End. In the last 10 seconds of Pts.Of.Athrty on the OTL Reanimation CD, there's a reversed sample of In the End. In this segment, that reversed sample is used to bridge the two songs together as Points segues to In the End. The Points half of the segment is pretty much an extended version of the OTL music video, complete with disembodied heads of the band members and a war between robots and aliens. In the End is pretty much a renewal of the wasteland left behind by the warring winged soldiers based on the band's mascot.

Road to the Big Easy
Directed by Dan Povenmire

Voices for Road to the Big Easy

Chris's Big Break
Talent scouts have come to Quahog to search for the next vocal quintet. Lou Pearlman (Impersonated by Mike Henry) zeroes in on Chris as a potential star for his struggling Transcontinental label. On that same episode, Peter presses a button on his TV remote to send Meg down to a Rancor pit in the basement. Then, the couch moves closer to the TV as Peter, Stewie and Brian watch Meg confront the Rancor before Chris makes his boy band debut. This episode aired in the first season, just as the Backstreet Boys' legal battle with the real Lou Pearlman was just heating up.
Quahoggystyle
After yet another firing from the Happy Go Lucky toy factory, Peter tries his hand at Gangsta Rap. A local rap battle sees Peter confront Ernie the Giant Chicken for the first time. A cutaway gag shows Stewie learning how to play a violin when Fievel scurries into his room. Stewie freaks out of course and calls for Brian to help with the situation. Also, this was the first time Cleveland fell out of his bathtub.
Boobies and the Beast
A Beauty and the Beast parody that only Seth can create, with Dolly Parton reprising her 1975 role and Peter Griffin playing the Beast. Cleveland and Quagmire play Cogsworth and Lumiere respectively. And don't forget Ernie the Giant Chicken as Gaston.
Maximum Absorbency Overdrive
Frustrated with Stewie's world domination aspirations, Lois receives some words of encouragement from a former Luvs mascot, a talking diaper.
Road to Southampton
Brian and Stewie travel back to 1970's England and free a teenage Daniel Abbott from the bedroom/dungeon of the demented Olivia Abbott.
