The 34th Annual People’s Choice Awards air tonight at 9pm EST on CBS. Kiefer Sutherland is nominated for Best Male TV Star. He represents 24’s only nomination.

Due to the writers’ strike, the ceremony won’t be conventional with a red carpet and traditional acceptance speeches, but rather magazine style. If Kiefer Sutherland were to win, the likelihood of him having any form of taped acceptance would be rare, due to his recent incarceration.

Ten Thoughts to Ponder for 2008

Number 10
Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 9
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 8
Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

Number 7
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day, teach a person to use the internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.

Number 6
Some people are like a Slinky Not really good for anything, but you still can’t help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Number 4
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to Criticism.

Number 3
Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you $30.00?

Number 2
In the 60′s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is Weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

And The Number 1 Thought For 2008:
We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among millions and millions of cows in America but we haven’t got a clue as to where millions of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of Immigration.

I made an icon – with all of the icons! you can see it below…

FI: Otherwise, was he faithful to the script?

LC: He followed the script, almost to the letter. We didn’t have Kiefer Sutherland in the picture when it was originally shot, you know. The part was played by Ron Eldard, a very good actor, who was perched up in a window across the street from the phone booth every minute of the time, doing all of Colin Farrell’s dialogue with him. But when I went to the set to see the picture shooting, I just was not happy with Ron’s voice. I was in fact very upset. I told my wife, “Let’s get out of here. I can’t stand it. I can’t be on the set anymore. I’m making faces, and I don’t want the director to see me, so let me get out of here. I have to recover from this, because this whole picture is going right down the drain.” Finally, I went to the Fox executives and told them that Eldard’s voice was wrong. They were afraid to do anything about it, because they thought Schumacher would become outraged if we challenged his decision on casting. I said, “Well, it has to be done, because otherwise the results will be disastrous in the long run, so I’ll take it upon myself to approach Schumacher.” I went to Joel and told him what I felt, and he simply said, “You really think so?” I said, “Absolutely.”

The next day he went out and hired Kiefer Sutherland. They had finished shooting the picture by that time, but he brought Kiefer in and they did all the voice of the sniper over again in a recording studio, and then married it all to the dialogue Colin Farrell had already recorded opposite Ron Eldard. So actually, Colin never got to work with Kiefer in any of those scenes in the phone booth; he lamented the fact that he never got to act opposite Kiefer, and Kiefer said it was the first time he’d ever acted in a movie where he got to see the entire movie before he came to work. They fixed it up, then they shot the one scene together at the end – where Kiefer actually appears on the screen – that was the extent of his performance. Kiefer worked two or three days, and added immeasurably to the film. His voice made a tremendous difference.

“Not nervous at all,” he says, despite the fact that the only testing has been carried out by ‘Homer’, the empty space suit strapped into one of the three seats. Around Homer’s limp neck dangles a pair of furry dice signed by actor Kiefer Sutherland.

“I met Kiefer in a bar in Toronto one night,” explains Brian, “A random meeting. We slugged back about five or six Jack Daniels and cokes together. I just introduced myself and we got talking about Rocket 101 and I said ‘Here, sign the dice and I’ll take ‘em into space’.”

Mass Comm Students Work Major Productions

NNU sophomore Filon Moroshan has never actually lived in Sutherland Hall, but the connection between our campus and his summer job is too obvious not to mention: he worked on a film starring Kiefer Sutherland.

The star of the TV show 24 was working on his new film Mirrors this summer, and Moroshan was right in the middle of it. Many “Hollywood” films are now shot in Europe and former Soviet block countries to save money, and the producers of Mirrors chose a studio in Romania. Being of Romanian descent, and speaking the language, Moroshan fit in well with the multi-national crew.

“A lot of my job was translating orders between the Romanian crew and the American crew,” Moroshan said. “There were also crews working on the film from France, Italy, Spain, and England, so everything had to be translated back and forth.”

During one of those translations, actor Kiefer Sutherland overheard Moroshan speaking English on a walkie-talkie and struck up a conversation. “On a movie set you can’t even say ‘hi’ to the actors,” Moroshan said, “but he came over and talked to me. I think he was excited to hear someone speaking English.” Once the actor broke the etiquette barrier, Moroshan didn’t hesitate to converse with him. “I told him I’m a film student at Northwest Nazarene University, and about our program here. He really seemed interested.”

Moroshan was amazed at the opportunities he had and the people he met. “It was just ridiculous,” he said several times during his interview at the Mass Comm Showcase. “I mean, here I was, a nobody, working on a movie with Kiefer Sutherland!”

Movie Review: Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight
Written by Mel Odom
Published January 06, 2008

I started playing Dungeons & Dragons when I was in college. I found the game by accident while shopping through a hobby store, became intrigued, and picked it up. Another year and a half passed before I found a couple of guys in college to play it with. Then Larry, Mike, and I would spend Friday nights and Saturdays knocking down doors in lost castles and abandoned dungeons everywhere we found them.

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman put the fiction side of Dungeon & Dragons’ world of Dragonlance on the bestseller map in 1984 with the publication of Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Legend has it the novels actually sprang from a game played by the authors.
