INCOMING TRANSMISSION ...

Sunday, September 1st, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho #1

What a Coincidence
Thanx to our partner-in-crime Souris, we've added another great coincidence for you all to look over. Fate, thy name is Alias.

Fan review... Woo Hoo!
Yay! Someone sent in a great fan review of OHP. Thanx so much Jenai, Vartan Ho #72. Now c'mon people....follow her lead!

Some official business...
Thanx to The Hype Council, and to Whoosh25, from Jennifer Garner Group for the heads-up that coming next Tuesday, September 3rd, you should watch out for a new look and feel to the official ALIAS website.

Also, keep an eye out for the September issue of Complete Woman Magazine. Jennifer will be featured an article about "ass-kicking" women on primetime TV.

Plus, Entertainment Weekly will feature a cover story on Jennifer, which will run in the September Fall Preview Issue. It hits news stands within the next 2 weeks.

That's really great 'n all, but the Vartan Hos have to give a big 'thumb's down' to the lack of Vartan/Vaughn involvement in all of this news. : (

Assassinations and VSR's
Souris has finished up both the Fashion Assassin and VSR report for Time Will Tell. They're hillarious as usual, so check them out.

Safe House Love!
We've been awarded Site of the Month by The Alias Institute. Read what they had to say here. Check out our award! Thanx Alias Institute!

Suspension of Disbelief
Check out the brand new bloopers that were caught, courtesy of Lindie, Vartan Ho #426.

Daredevil Online Ad Campaign Underway!
Wanna see a very cool teaser banner from Daredevil? Check it out here. Thanx to FOX, and to Counting Down for the heads-up!

That's it folks. Happy September, and see you tomorrow. : )


Saturday, August 31st, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho #1

Jennifer Presents
Entertainment Tonight confirmed last night that Jennifer has been added to the list of Emmy presenters. Yay!

Bloopers!
Thanx to TastyInnerChild, we've added a new blooper to the mix. We're going to get the poor Alias editors fired!

More articles and scans
First, read a review from the Boston Globe.

Second, check out the Empire article about Jennifer and short Alias story. You can also read it here in regular type if you have a hard time reading the image. Thanks to Sian, Vartan Ho #336 for sending those in : )

Michael everywhere (like we're complaining?)
First, thanx to an NBC press release we've learned Michael will be on the Today Show on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd.

Second, he will also be on Carson Daly's 'Last Call' on Sept 13th. Ironically, Carson is slated to be a guest on the Today show the same day MV is, and they're taping 'The Last Call' together that day as well. Go figure.

Next up, for those of you that have living under a rock, you're getting another chance: The Mists of Avalon will be airing on Sept. 11th. I'm assuming on TNT, but I can't check. Once we have more details, like time it will be on, we'll let you know.

Just a reminder that if you missed the OHP special on E! last week, you can catch it again this weekend. According to the E!Online website, it will air once again on Sept.1, at 3:30 a.m. Thanx to Debby for the reminder.

Finally, don't forget that Michael is on Friends tonight. The episode 'The One With Chandler In A Box', will be airing in syndication. Check your local listings.

One Hour Photo...around the world!
Thanks to Melli who got the info from a press release from 20th Century Fox, you can now go check out the German OHP website and view the trailer...with Michael's dubbed voice. Hehehe. Read more here.

Lugia was cool enough to set up a OHP differences page, explaining some of the differences between the two versions that are out there right now. Definitely check that out!

Testing, testing
For those interested, the Daredevil Quiz is now online! Just for shnits and giggles, you can check it out here.

Vartan Hos make good
Finally we forgot to thank sugarrfish for sending in that In Style article we posted a few days ago. Sorry and thanx!


Friday, August 30th, 2002 Update by: SB, Vartan Ho #2

MV E! Screencaps
First lemme say, apologies for the cut-and-dry aspect of this update: I'm running late on time (what else is new?). And one more thing: to the guy playing guitar in the hall: you sound great buddy, but shut up! It's the middle of the night! (I am *so* not used to this 'communal dorm living.')

Anyhow, to lower my blood pressure and increase love and harmony, here are some screencaps of Michael from E!: see them here!

MV on The View
From ABC press release: "Tuesday, September 3 – Bill O'Reilly ("The O'Reilly Factor"); fall fashion do's and don'ts presented during "Out of the Closet"; Michael Vartan (ABC's "Alias" and "One Hour Photo")." So mark yer calendars!

The Cadet Awards
We don't know what they are, but Alias is nominated for a bunch! Thanks to SweetP, who posted the heads-up on the vartanetc boards.

New OHP review
Thanks to TwinnerA, Vartan Ho #96, for sending this in to us: 1 tough critic. Enjoy that! And if you get to see OHP this weekend: I'm jealous. :)



Thursday, August 29th, 2002 Update by: Lugia, Vartan Ho #8

Spoilers repost
If you missed them late yesterday evening, we added some awesome new script pages here. :) For additional pages visit our spoilers section and follow the episode links. Enjoy!

Even more Spoilers
Again thanks to Blue Horseshoe at the SD-6 boards, we have new intel on the premiere! T minus 31 days!

Alias online game, part 2
The second round of the Alias game is now online! Check it out, but beware, it's addictive! ;)

New Alias article
This one is from SciFi Wire and includes a possible casting spoiler and some coverage from the ABC Primetime Preview weekend. Thanks to Corinne for sending it in! I'm psyched!

InStyle: Sexy Poll
Thanks to Joana and Kate, we can now bring you a cute Michael & Bradley scan from the September 2002 issue of InStyle magazine.
And thanks to Melinda, here are some additional tidbits from the same issue:
"Winner of the Emmy for Sexiest Actor in a TV Drama OK, that's not really an Emmy category, but if it did exist, you'd give the gold to The Practice's Dylan McDermott. Last year's winner, Rob Lowe (The West Wing) came in second, followed by Michael Vartan (Alias)."
Also in the Sexy Awards, on Page 516, Jennifer Garner received 31% of the vote for "Small-Screen Hero Who Saves You From a Night of Boring TV." Read more about it here!

Still more OHP coverage
We added two more reviews. The first is from the Sacramento Bee, the second from The Toronto Star and thanks to Jackie! :)

For everyone who's keeping track: the box office gross-to-date is a whopping $441,188 and that's from only 7 theatres! Pretty amazing!

In still more news, the OHP score finally hit stores and you can see a pic of the cover at Amazon. I'm hearing very positive feedback about this CD and besides, what's better than to relive a MV movie through music? ;)

Site updates
Thanks to vasuki, we have a new (but spoilerish) coincidence! So proceed at your own risk! And The Ho List is also up-to-date. :)

Check back for more goodies tomorrow! Enjoy your day!



Wednesday, August 28th, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho #1

Update: Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers!
You can check out some script pages here. :) For additional pages visit our spoilers section and follow the episode links. Enjoy!

More Enemy Spoilers
Thanx to Blue Horseshoe, we've got some new spoilers for Episode 1. Oooo I can't wait now!

E!ntertaining Interview
Thanx to Angela for the head's up, VaughnEtc. now has the video clip of Michael's E! interview! You definitely want to check that out asap!

Also, thanx again go to Angela for giving us the scoop on the OHP version search. The VCD version and the theater versions are one in the same. The film critics got the final version with the extra scenes (which from the sound of it, I would not be terribly fond of). You can read all about it here. We're still getting reports from some folks that have seen the other version in theaters, so my best guess is that this version was sent out to various locations across the country. A fellow NY'er saw the scene, and I didn't. Grrrr! I need to go to a better theater!

Pictures O'Plenty
Lugia has added some more ABC preview weekend pics. Since when do television stars have to be paraded around in cars like Miss America? I felt like I was watching the Thanksgiving day parade. Only ABC. But we got pics so I'll stop complaining. You can also check out a few additional pictures at AllAlias.com.

Articles Everywhere
We're getting new articles everyday, so you may want to bookmark the section for the next few months. You can read a new Alias article here (many thanx to everyone who sent us the news on that!), and 2 new OHP articles from Hollywood.com, here and here. Special thanx to Lugia for all her hard work with all of these OHP articles and reviews. Her fingers are gonna be in casts by the end of this article explosion.



Tuesday, August 27th, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho #1

Your Mission, if you choose to accept it...
Thanx to mdwed123 at Joey's Pizza Yahoo group, we've found that a 'mission' will begin within the next 48 hours of the ABC webgame! I'm a dunce when it comes to figuring this stuff out. How anyone does is beyond me. But here's what transpired:

Codeword: Barrel

Connected to Agent Weiss on SecNetComm.
Weiss says: Weiss here. How can I help you?
You say: Codeword: Barrel

Weiss Says: Sit tight; this mission will launch within the next 48 hours.

This game is too cool for school. I don't think I can wait 48 hours!

Pic Happy
For those of you who may have missed it, we updated yesterday afternoon with new images from The Enemy Walks In. You may want to check those out : )

Missing One Hour Photo?
Okay, we've heard that there may in fact be 2 versions of the movie playing out there! Thanx to Angela, we've learned that there may be another version with additional scenes [*spoiler*] with Robin in the interrogation room from the very beginning [*end spoiler*] playing in some selected theaters. Now I went to see the movie, and it was the same version as the vcd version that I had downloaded. So if there's another version, which you've seen with your own eyes, please share with us!

More One Hour Photo goodness
We've added a ton of new OHP articles and reviews! You can access them on our OHP page. Articles 42 through 63 are the new ones and we especially recommend to read the new Zap2it article which includes a quote from Michael about THE scene. ; )

More Coincidence
Thanx to Karen and Vartanetc., we've added a new coincidence to Section Disparate. Thanx to both of you!

General SD-6 operated Hospital
The Alias previews are stretching all the way through ABC soaps. Thanx to AliasKateJones and Susan, we've learned they are playing a the preview-that-shall-not-be-named, a.k.a., the evil triangle themed drama-fest. No matter how much damage-control they try to pull on Will (fixing his hair, stopped letting Ray Charles dress him, stopped playing the 'If I Only Had a Brain' song behind everything he does), we are Vaughn lovers, true and proud. Gussy him up all you want ABC, we aren't buying it! ::begin 'Vaughn' chant::

Strange and Unusual
We've received a small possible casting spoiler, and as happy as I would be because I'm a fan, I'm a bit frightened as well. Check it out here.



Monday, August 26th, 2002 Update by: Kate, Vartan Ho #1

Update: Loads of new pictures!
We just added a ton of photos from the ABC Primetime Preview Weekend! Check them out here!
You can also take a look at the first promo pictures from season 2! Yay! We added them to the premiere spoilers page with a short summary of the first episode that accompanied them.
Last but not least, there are some new picture additions to the OHP premiere page. Bradley attended, too!

More Reviews!
Morning folks! First up is another fancy shmancy OHP review, this one by Roger Ebert. Thanx to Sari for sending that one in.

Have any of you seen it? We want to hear what you thought of it, from a fan of Michael's standpoint! Send us your review! I saw it about a month ago on vcd, and again yesterday at the theater. I loved it!

Speaking of theater, according to the Associated Press, "Fox Searchlight's "One Hour Photo," starring Robin Williams, broke out in the limited release arena as the drama developed an estimated $315,000 from seven theaters, averaging a stunning $45,000 per theater -- a record for the distributor. Helmed by Mark Romanek, "Photo" has taken in about $354,100 since its Wednesday release. The film expands to about 140 theaters next weekend.'

There another story about this here.

In related news, OHP got two big "Hot" votes on "Hot Ticket." The reviewers called it "exceptional," "quietly terrifying" and "unexpectedly compassionate."

Must be the force of the Vartan Hos!
Thanx to Yahoo.com, and Box Office Mojo. This is great news! Congrat's!

Nominations!
Gills on vartanetc posted that Alias was nominated for two fight choreography awards at the American Choreography Awards, to be held in October. One is for "Truth Be Told" and the other is for "Snowman." Read more about it here.

OHP and TCA
Lugia added some more TCA pics of Michael. You can find them here. She also added some more OHP premiere images here. They have an ugly border around them, but only for displaying purposes to distiguish them from the old. It'll be gone when you save 'em. :-) Most are just thumbnails and two are from Corbis and watermarked, but better than nothin'! :-)

And finally, there's a fan recap of the Alias session of the ABC preview weekend. Read it here at TWoP.

Have a good Monday folks!
