On this week's episode of The Golden Briefcase, Tim and Jeremy are joined by screenwriter (Sinister) and author (Dreams and Shadows) C. Robert Cargill aka Massawyrm to go through their latest picks of the week, the newest DVD & Blu-ray releases and much more. The main topic of the night was a discussion on the film works derived from author Stephen King, in honor of Chloe Moretz's Carrie remake hitting theaters this weekend. The guys go over King's works that have been made into movies, those that haven't made the smoothest transition from book to screen and what they would still like to see from the author.

Survivor did something a little weird this week. It staged an immunity challenge around what amounted to a game of Toss Across. Is this my high school graduation backyard party? Is the grand prize a Hallmark card and a check from my aunt? It didn’t make for riveting competition, but it did reverse one seriously bleak trend in the game. So that’s nice. Like a Hallmark card!
Here are my noteworthiest takes on Wednesday’s warfare.
1. Vytas’ vytal signs are looking goooood
Thank you, Survivor, for livening up a humdrum episode with… an evocative mood sequence featuring Vytas in shirtless yoga stances for what seemed like months. It was like the gay Portland version of Robert De Niro‘s long-ass hunting scene from The Deer Hunter. So pastoral and eerie and full of handstands and clenched biceps and half-naked bliss and mood. He even philosophized about Brad Culpepper.

It won't air for weeks, but for the "Project Runway" Season 12 finalists, it's all over except for the waiting.
The last eight designers in the reality show competition all presented their collections Friday (Sept. 6) at New York's Mercedz-Benz Fashion Week held in the middle of Lincoln Center.
Judge/host Heidi Klum introduced fellow judges Zac Posen and Nina Garcia, who were joined by "Scandal" star Kerry Washington. Alyssa Milano -- who will host Season 3 of "Project Runway All Stars" -- actress Paula Garces, rapper Bow Wow and 2012's Miss USA Nana Meriwether were also in attendance.
Wearing a bronze, one-shouldered gown, Klum, knowing that the fashion week theaters run on an extremely tight schedule, asked to "get the party started," but not before dragging mentor and host Tim Gunn onto the catwalk for a declaration of love.
"I'm rolling bandages in the back," Gunn said. "Just metaphorically."
