Grand Street between Crosby and Wooster

The eight artists selected for the ARTSTAR television documentary series dazzled the crowds as exaggerated, anthropomorphic representations of themselves. The artists metamorphosed into birds, a decaying coyote, a Frank Stella zebra, a tiger, a polar bear, an inflatable cat and a giant lab rat.

The ARTSTAR artists are: Gigi Chen, Sy Colen, Abigail Deville, Christian Dietkus, Zackary Drucker, Anney Fresh, Bec Stupak and Virgil Wong.

Gallery HD and Deitch Projects are pleased to announce ARTSTAR, a groundbreaking new television documentary. ARTSTAR is the first-ever unscripted television series set in the New York art world. Selected from an open call, the eight chosen artists will have the opportunity to participate in the Art Parade at Deitch Projects. ARTSTAR will document these artists as they interact with leading critics, collectors, curators and artists in New York, while making new artworks as part of a historic collaborative participation in Deitch Projects' and Paper Magazine's production of the Art Parade.

ARTSTAR was created by Christopher Sperandio and James Fuentes. Executive producers are Abby Terkuhle and Christopher Sperandio. ARTSTAR is produced for Gallery HD by Aboriginal Entertainment with production services provided by Optic Nerve.

For the official ARTSTAR website please visit http://www.artstar.tv

ARTSTAR will premiere March 30, 2006 on DISH Network, GALLERY HD-Channel 9472

Just finished watching the first episode of Artstar. Although I am not too much into reality series, this one has a different feel because there are some talented people with skills that are not just learned. Quite interested and looking forward to next episode on Thursday.

I just watched the first episode. I really enjoyed it. I disagree with some of the decisions about which artists were included (how could they leave out that crazy blonde chick that looked like she was about to have a breakdown or cut herself or something? that chick's a timebomb! and what's more fun to watch than that?), but I get the feeling it's gonna be pretty interesting. Or it'll hold my interest for about two episodes and then be like all the other reality shows I've ever seen -- bore the hell out of me. We'll see. But it's off to a pretty good start.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Why didn't Charlie end up launching starlink
Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

But how is it reusable if it's disposable

He does not have the resources aka $$$ compared to Elon Musk as in reality, Elon can eat Charlie for lunch or even mop the floor with Charlie if he wanted to.

Also watched part 2 about a week or so ago after rewatching part 1. It's not as faithful to the book as I was hoping for. Part 1 stayed fairly faithful to the novel, but part 2 took some liberties that I felt were rather excessively non-novel. It looks like a prequel series will happen before part 3. My issue is: there's no prequel that was written as a novel, so what will it be pulled from? Or will it just be "based loosely" on the novel?

There is a bunch of other Dune written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (Franks son). I think the series in production is taken from one of their books about the Bene Gesserit.

Correct. I've read all of them (yes, it took awhile, better part of a year, in my spare time). And they can't really consider or classify a series about the Bene Gesserit as a prequel. Sure, I suppose they can call it that, if they want to, because it begins before the time of Paul Atredies, but it's still a stretch. It's a Dune-related novel, not a prequel as we generally think of prequels...

Well, it looks good! I just hope they stayed close to the trilogy, but it doesn't look like it.
