...tallied the game's first goal at 11:13 of the first period when captain Angie Francisco shot the puck past Minnesota goalie Erica Killewald. Leftwing Tara Dunn and rightwing Kiirsten Suurkask assisted Francisco on the tally. The goal came on a Crimson power play after Minnesota's Bethany Petersen was called for intereferece...
Which was also the reaction of this viewer - and thousands of my compatriots who thought we were oh-so-smart - when Gervase Petersen was voted off the island. Affable, lazy Gervase. Handsome, child-out-of-wedlock-sirin' Gervase. Teflon-coated Gervase, who insulted Pulau Tiga's women and cheerfully admitted freeloading off his island mates' hard work while surviving nine weeks of tribal challenges...
Fangmeier, like Petersen, hails from Germany and both speak with hefty accents, but the director didn't hire the f/x (Hollywood parlance for special effects) wizard out of Teutonic solidarity. Petersen tapped Fangmeier because of his impressive, all-digital work on Twister. Still, there were no guarantees; while water has been digitally drawn before (notably in Titanic and Waterworld), The Perfect Storm would require a level of simulation that had never been attempted. On Warner Bros. soundstage No. 16, a shipping vessel doubling for the Andrea Gail was harbored in a large tank 22-ft. deep (the same tank where...
...That was Petersen's job, as in, wait a minute, that wave should be bigger. "You learn all the sciences," says Fangmeier, "but we did break some of the scientific rules when it came to those Hollywood moments." If you've seen the trailer, you've already seen the film's most impressive Hollywood moment--the Andrea Gail's scaling a mountainous wave that threatens to fold her into its crest. "I said, 'Wolfgang, that's a 200-plus-ft. wave. That's impossible, certainly not recorded in this storm,'" Fangmeier recalls. "So we did scale it down a little...
Warner Bros. doesn't want reviewers to reveal the ending of The Perfect Storm. But Wolfgang Petersen's film isn't The Sixth Sense or The Crying Game. It is based on a No. 1 nonfiction best seller. So you may already know what happened to Captain Billy Tyne and the crew of the Andrea Gail when it was caught in the famous North Atlantic maelstrom in 1991. And if you don't, does it matter? Knowing the ending didn't keep many moviegoers from seeing Titanic...
