The official story goes that Harvey Keitel dropped out of Eyes Wide Shut because of a commitment to play Elvis Presley in "Graceland." Although amk gave birth to an all together more colourful rumour to explain the departure. Here's the newsgroup exchange in which that guy fessed up to creating the rumor. His knowledge of the original rumor makes him quite credible, IMO.

There are several theories about who came up with the title, and what it means, but no definitive answer. The following is collection of possibilities: In early June of 1999 Frederick Raphael was asked to write an article for New Yorker Magazine entitled 'A Kubrick Odyssey', about his experiences working with Stanley Kubrick on what was to become Eyes Wide Shut.

In short, the MPAA, the American censors. Kubrick's brother in law Jan Harlan explains: "The film was first shown on the first of March to Bob Daily, Tom Cruise and Nicolle Kidman in New York. They absolutely loved the film. Stanley was very, very happy and died a week later. We had to show a copy of the print to the MPAA and they insisted that the orgy scene be changed.

Buffy season four had two episodes that are worth watching again. Namely, "This years girl" and "Who are you" (which happens to be a title of a Who song). "Restless" just puts me to sleep I'm afraid and "Hush", whilst good, is a little over rated in my opinion. See similar questions...

Not necessarily. It may be recommended that cold-water compresses (wet cotton, or similar material) be applied to the eyes, to reduce the post-operative edema. The compresses can be changed as often as the patient deems necessary. See similar questions...

Between Charlotte Ross' desire to stay home with her own new baby, the lower budget for this season and some other professional issues between Charlotte and the rest of the cast and crew, she won't be coming back at any point. So Connie is home with the kids, or out of the room when we see Andy at home with Theo. They're still married; we just don't see her anymore. See similar questions...

Like James McDaniel before him, Esai eventually grew frustrated with the limitations of playing the boss on a show about detectives and asked out of his contract. My management and I decided, if I'm going to be off the market for features and other shows, I should have a more substantial part," he said. "I'm going to be off the market, let me make some Dennis Franz money or get that kind of screen time." See similar questions...

When Kim Delaney left NYPD Blue after the eighth season to star in Philly -- a series specifically created for her by Steven Bochco, who felt that Blue couldn't showcase her talents enough -- it was with the agreement that Kim could return to Blue if the new show was canceled quickly. It later turned out that Kim's contract defined "quickly" as "in 13 episodes or less." Since Philly essentially ran for a full season, Bochco was no longer bound by that agreement.

Smits came in as a last-minute replacement for David Caruso, and signed a four-year contract in doing so. When the end of that contract was nearing, he decided it was "time to move on. See similar questions...

Caruso asked for a major-league raise in pay for the second season, asking for $100,000 an episode (as opposed to the $20,000 per episode he was paid in the first season). The producers refused to go higher than $80,000 for fear of upsetting the rest of the cast, and eventually, a compromise was worked out: Caruso would appear in the first four episodes of the second season to allow the writers to give John Kelly a graceful exit, at which point he would be freed from his contract to do films.

According to a section of True Blue, Milch's book about the early seasons of the show, the writers quickly ran out of room for the character of Laura Kelly, especially once they realized the chemistry between Dennis Franz and Sharon Lawrence and began writing more scenes for Sylvia Costas. Sherry was a good sport about it, and went to Bochco and Milch with the suggestion that letting her out of her contract might be the best for everyone. They did so, and Sherry got a job as Dr. See similar questions...

I'd like to say I planned [to quit], but I was fired. My character demanded so much attention, and without David Caruso what was I? They tried putting Janice behind a desk. But she's a mobchick. So they wrote me off the show." See similar questions...

Though he was one of only three castmembers who'd been with the show from the beginning (Dennis Franz and James McDaniel are the other two), Nick really hadn't been given a whole lot to do since David Caruso -- who played Martinez's mentor John Kelly -- left at the start of season two. He's tried to develop several sitcoms, without much luck getting them on the air. See similar questions...

Andrea quit in part because she was couldn't take the stress of the last-minute pace of the show, as well as the amount of time it kept her away from her family. But the main reason she's gone is because, at 40, she wanted out of the acting business to pursue a career in TV journalism. After a one-year stint as a reporter for a local station in New Mexico, she had a controversial, widely-panned stint as an anchorwoman for CNN's Headline News, which she left after seven months.

After seven seasons of sitting in Lt. Fancy's office feeling frustrated over the size of his role, James McDaniel decided it was time to go. The producers, eager to add as many new faces as possible to their aging show, agreed to let McDaniel leave midway through season eight, replacing him with Esai Morales as the new squad boss.

After nearly three seasons on the show, Rick declared that he wasn't happy spending so much time in Los Angeles away from his wife and kids and the family ranch. Bochco agreed to let Rick out of his contract. This was true to a point, but only half the story. As Rick recently revealed, his wife had a late-term miscarriage during his third season on the show, and he decided he needed to be home for a while to help her get over the trauma. Technically, no. In every other way, yes. See similar questions...

There can be a substantial range in the number of months that Paph. capsules require to mature to a harvestable stage. Capsules can be removed and sown either at the green 'pod' stage, where the color of the capsule (not 'pod', which is incorrect usage of the term) is actually still some shade of green but not yet dehisced, and is starting to slightly shrink in size.
