Emile Hirsch is the funniest of Kilimanjaro group

Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2009, on 16th February in New York City.

"A star-studded group of actors, musicians and activists, including Jessica Biel and Into the Wild star Emile Hirsch, have kicked off 2010 with a lofty mission: summiting the formidable 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest peak, to raise awareness and funds for the global water crisis. "Meeting the people and community in Tanzania … has been an invaluable and eye-opening experience for me," Biel says after landing there Tuesday. "My hope is that others will be inspired to find ways that they can help; starting simply in their homes and continuing to other parts of the world. We are all in this together."

Isabel Lucas and Emile Hirsch, 1st day of Kilimanjaro climbing.

"Offering his high school superlatives for the first day, Kenna gave Santigold the "Best Dressed" award thanks to her spray-painted boots with gold laces. Lupe earned "Most Likely to Go to Bed Early From Fatigue." Hirsch got props for being the funniest, Biel for being the most focused, Lucas "Most Likely to Succeed Mother Nature" due to her love of the outdoors and himself the "Most Likely to Summit and Jump Up and Down and Scream Success After Failing Once" designation.
"When everyone summits, that's the point where we will be able to speak to the world from the top of the world and say, 'This is the global clean-water crisis. If you're not paying attention, it will happen to you.' Source: www.mtv.com

Direct Signals

"The Ring" was chosen number 20 on the cable channel Bravo's list of the 100 Scariest Movie Moments, being #1 "Jaws" by Steven Spielberg: 1. Jaws

In 1974, Steven Spielberg filmed the movie "Jaws" on Martha's Vineyard. Later, some scenes from Jaws 2 and Jaws the Revenge were filmed on the island too. In June, 2005 Martha's Vineyard celebrated the 30th anniversary of "Jaws" - the "JawsFest".

Jake Gyllenhaal worked as a lifeguard on Martha's Vineyard: "Someone got stung by a jellyfish and I peed on their leg to counteract the sting" he told PEOPLE.

"Digital electronic technologies atomize and abstractly schematize the analogic quality of the photographic and cinematic into discrete pixels and bits of information that are transmitted serially, each bit discontinuous, discontiguous, and absolute — each bit “being in itself” even as it is part of a system. As well, unlike the cinema, the electronic is phenomenologically experienced not as a discrete, centered, intentional projection but rather as a simultaneous, dispersive, and neural/ “neutral” transmission. Thus electronic “presence” as it is experienced by the spectator/user is one further remove from previous referential connections made between the body’s signification and the world’s concrete forms."

The Ring - Movie Spoiler: "The TV at Noah's place turns on to a static signal. Noah turns it off, but it turns back on to the image of a well in the forest. Water starts to come out of the TV set. Suddenly, a girl starts climbing out of the well".
"I also liked how, in the Japanese version, after the heroine turns off the television she sees a reflection in the screen of Sakada standing behind her, which I’ll bet M. Night Shamalayan ripped off for Signs. The climactic scene in both movies shows the audience how Sadako/Samara makes good on her seventh-day death threat. But in The Ring, Samara is still plagued by a poor TV signal as she waltzes across the ex-husband’s studio floor". Source: acurrie.wordpress.com

"The Oscar producers are almost sure to invite 'New Moon' co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to appear on the show as presenters. And they may enlist a couple of the new generation cast from 'Star Trek' for the same task. But it won't be the same as having their movies on the Best Picture ballot".

Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart at The Cinema Society and D&G Screening of New Moon, on 19th November 2009.

Kristen, Robert and Taylor were all in attendance. All 3 stuck around for a bit to sign and greet some of the fans outside. They left separately about 15 minutes after walking into the theater. All seemed in high spirits and were as gracious as possible to the waiting fans outside.
