The Wit & Wisdom of Gossip Girl: Police and Parents, Disguises and Accents

The winter finale of Gossip Girl wasn’t dedicated to the late Irwin Kershner, but it was a severed hand holding a champagne flute away from being an Upper East Side version of The Empire Strikes Back . After all, the Empire (Hotel) struck back, new alliances were forged and everything ended on a non-ending. All that was missing was some carbonite.

Michael Shannon Talks Boardwalk Empire with Movieline

HBO’ s sprawling Boardwalk Empire is a character actor aficionados dream come true; after all, the lead is Steve Buscemi. So it isn’t all that surprising to see someone like Michael Shannon killing scenes on a weekly basis. The very definition of “that guy” — having appeared in everything from Revolutionary Road to World Trade Center to Bad Boys II — Shannon stars as Agent Nelson Van Alden, a G-Man looking to keep both alcohol sales and his sexual desires bottled up during the era of Prohibition. The Oscar-nominated star rang up Movieline to discuss his role, the way Boardwalk Empire treats its ladies, and just what he made of that now infamous self-flagellation scene .

In a sweeping return to form, HBO#39;s new “Boardwalk Empire,” stars Steve Buscemi as Enoch “Nucky” Thompson a political fixer and half-gangster during Prohibition in Atlantic City.

Terrifying Climb Up A Ridiculously High Tower With No Ropes video of the day

Until we can train dogs to climb, it's poor chumps like the guys in this video who have to shinny up stomach-churningly high communications towers to fix them whenever there's a problem. The tower in this particular video is 1768 feet high. That's over 700ft taller than the Eiffel Tower and 300ft taller than the Empire State Building. And there's no reassuringly safe viewing platform at the top. In order to fix antenna and other gizmo-bits at the very top, a team of engineers take a lift to within 100ft or so from the top and then slowly climb the rest of the way; without ropes or and with a petrifying fall to the death should they slip. Still, gorgeous view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txdv_oNq81I&feature=player_embedded added by: richjm
