The boys were back in town this week. Rescue Me's Tommy had a spectacular flameout in his quest for sobriety. Coach Taylor counseled a pained player on Friday Night Lights. The men told all on The Bachelorette. President Obama charmed the ladies of The View. And Don Draper tried to get his groove back on the new season of Mad Men. Welcome to Top Moments: Manly Men Edition.

9. Most Intense Confrontation: Luke Cafferty finally runs out of pain meds this week on Friday Night Lights and his gutsy play for East Dillon ends with a big hit. When Coach Taylor sees the massive purple and blue bruise on Luke's hip, he lets him have it: "Four weeks? You didn't tell anyone? You did that four weeks ago and you didn't tell us?" Luke begs for the Coach's forgiveness, but the coach storms off en route to another Lions loss.

Do you agree with this week’s TV Guide's top moment from Friday Night Lights?

Galas

The Bang Bang Club,  Steven Silver, Canada/South Africa
World Premiere
The Bang Bang Club  was the name given to four young photographers, Greg Marinovich, Kevin Carter, Ken Oosterbroek and Joao Silva, whose photographs captured the final bloody days of white rule in South Africa and the final demise of apartheid. The film tells the remarkable and sometimes harrowing story of these young men – and the extraordinary extremes they went to in order to capture their pictures. The film stars Ryan Phillippe, Malin Akerman, Taylor Kitsch, Neels Van Jaarsveld and Frank Rautenbach.

 

****************************************************************************************

 

 

The exact date isn't given, nor is Taylor listed as going to be there, but since it's the films' premiere, I would be willing to bet he'd make the trip from Hawaii to Toronto for one night. Let's HOPE he does!!

And, just for the record:FINALLY!!!!!

 

 

 

Apologies for not updating sooner-I cut my hand rather badly at work and was unable to use it for awhile, but it's better now, so I'll try and catch everything up here. :)

 

First off, HUGE congratulations to Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton for finally being nominated for Emmys for their performances in Friday Night Lights!! It is most certainly well-deserved and many congrats to them-here's hoping they'll be taking home a statue on Emmy night! FNL was also nominated for Best Casting and Best Writing for the episode The Son.

And I THINK that's it for now! :lol:  Anything I forgot, I'll catch up with on Friday.

 

ETA: As I was typing this up, this news came up-it looks like singer Rihanna has been cast in a role in Battleship, according to Variety, here:

 

 

The pop star - who has discussed a desire to give acting a shot - has chosen a pretty high-profile blockbuster to make her splash. Rihanna will star in Peter Berg’s Battleship, based on the naval combat board game, opposite True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard and Friday Night Lights' Taylor Kitsch. As if there weren't enough reasons to be insanely jealous of Rihanna's fabulous life, she now gets to hang out in Hawaii with Eric Northman and  Tim Riggins.

You can get your very own Kitsch doll (sort of!) from eBay!

 

A reporter from The Boston Globe thinks Taylor should be nominated for an Emmy for FNL. We whole-heartedly agree!

 

Some possible FNL spoilers regarding Taylor's S5 appearances here. (Don't look if you don't want to know!)

 

And a little reporting on JCOM  filming in Emery County can be found here.

 

ETA: A new pic from the FNL NBC site for S4 E7, In The Bag.

 

And they have started doing episode recaps with pics-granted, they're glorified screen caps, but they're purdee nonetheless! They can be found here.

Universal has set True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård to star opposite Taylor Kitsch in Battleship, a sci-fi adaptation of the Hasbro game, according to Heat Vision.
 

Peter Berg is directing the war action-adventure with an "alien invasion" twist.
Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber wrote the script, which revolves around an international fleet coming together to battle a water-bound armada of otherworldly origin.

Skarsgard will play Kitsch's brother, a straight and narrow naval officer whom Kitsch, a wildly spirited naval officer, idolizes.

No production date has been set.

Battleship comes to theaters May 18th 2012.

Friday Night Lights is one of those rare TV shows that casts a spell on nearly everyone who watches it. It's a fine mix of excellent writing, believable acting, and a talented cast of folks who could all easily double as Abercrombie and Fitch models. I spoke with Zach Gilford, the FNL veteran who plays quarterback Matt Saracen, about his character's persistence, the show's appeal, and well, football.

Why do you think Friday Night Lights has so many loyal fans who don't even know the first thing about football? Me, included.

I think it goes back to the characters being really relatable, and you grow to love them in spite of their flaws. I think that even though people aren’t sports fans you get attached to a team, you get invested in them, you grow a sense of ownership over it. I think people watching the show get drawn into this community and root for the Panthers. Maybe they’ve never watched a real football game in their life, but they care about Smash, or they care about Saracen, or Riggins, and they just want them to succeed and win.

To read the rest of the interview, click here!

WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!! Good news!! :D

 

Taylor WILL be back for FNL S5!

 

Two more Friday Night Lights all-stars are headed back to Dillon for the show’s probable endgame: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Adrianne Palicki (Tyra) and Taylor Kitsch (Tim) have finalized deals to appear in multiple episodes of the drama’s fifth and likely final season (slated to premiere on DirecTV next fall).

 

I’m told Palicki will guest in next season’s last two episodes, while Kitsch has signed on for the final four.

 

 

 

And thanks to rockhardfairies for sharing this over at FanForum-who was lucky enough to get Taylor's autograph on a new Gambit pic!

Sorry to have been absent-real life intervened for awhile.

 

First off, two more (mostly positive) reviews for The Bang Bang Club, here and here.

 

In FNL news, Tim Riggins was named in the "100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years" over at Entertainment Weekly. The full list can be found here.

 

TK.LJ member rhoda_rants is doing recaps of FNL starting from S1 over at fnlrecaps.

 

FNL was nominated for "Program of the Year"  by the Television Critics Association.

 

Please note a link to Trace's FNL recaps has been added to our sidebar here to your left. :)

 

Apparently, Kitsch WILL be in S5, fridaynightlightsfan.com has this report:

 

Reviews for The Son & Stay. Pics from both episodes can be found here!

 

Also, the release date originally proposed for Battleship has been pushed up from May 25, 2012 to May 18, 2012. More info here.

Actor Taylor Kitsch is on a career high of astronomical proportions! In Disney's sci-fi fantasy epic "John Carter of Mars," he plays John Carter, a civil war veteran who is transported to Mars where he battles fantastic creatures and wins the hand of their beautiful Martian princess.

Best known for his role as Tim Riggins on NBC's Emmy-nominated television series "Friday Night Lights (2006)," you'll also remember Taylor as Gambit in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)." More recently, you can find him portraying another Carter (Kevin) in the upcoming film "The Bang Bang Club (2010)." Next up, Taylor will play Alex Hopper in "Battleship," a film based off of the popular board game.

We recently had an opportunity for an online interview with the popular actor, asking him about John Carter of Mars and his experiences working on the movie. He has a very busy shooting schedule, and we appreciate the time he took to reply to our questions and connect with his fans!
 

Sorry this posting's late-work has kept me pretty busy this week.

 

In FNL news, apparently NBC has finally launched an Emmy campaign for the show, info and video here!

  

Trace's recap of S4 E3, In The Skin Of A Lion, here at BuddyTV.

 

FNL has been picked up by the ABC Family cable channel and they will air all five (yes, you read that right) seasons!

 

Thanks to Poupa, the cover art and release date (August 17th) of S4 can be viewed here.

 

New pics from the NBC site at this link.

 

The Bang Bang Club got an overall good review from its' showing in Cannes. 

 

And in JCOM  news, lot of set and backdrop pics can be found at the unofficial JCOM website.

 

To all of you celebrating Memorial Day this weekend, have a safe and happy weekend! :D

 

Just a few quick things. :)

 

Screencaps from the other NBC video from last week can be found, as promised, here.

 

The Bang Bang Club was shown last night and will be shown again tonight at the Cannes Film Festival-so far, no sightings, but with TK working on JCOM, it's pretty doubtful he'll be there, but we'll be keeping our eyes open, anyway! ;)

 

Our very own Trace93 has been selected by BuddyTV to be their official FNL S4 recapper, so HUGE congrats to her! *hugs*

Click to read her recaps of East of Dillon and her recap of After the Fall. She will continue to post them to the TK.LJ as well.

 

Wonderful little Kitsch interview here.

 

And that's it for the moment-hope everyone had a good weekend! :D
