Report: Snyder doesn’t seem worried about Fox’s “Watchmen” battle…

Leave a comment

“Watchmen” director Zack Snyder participated in an online press conference Q&A session, when asked about the film’s lawsuit with Fox vs. Warner Bros, he replied back saying he’s just been working on the movie and it hasn’t hit him yet. He also goes on saying if Fox really wanted to shut down the movie, they would have gone over to the “Watchmen” filming set to stop filming, but they haven’t. They’re just having fun making the movie, not worrying about any lawsuits.

Good for him! Glad he is not bothered by it and not paying attention to that drama. He seems like a good man.

Woah! Scorsese and Robby D back together again! This is even better than Pacino and Deniro reteaming in “Righteous Kill”!!!!!

Although the movie hasn’t even be made yet, I just know Scorsese will make “Paint Houses” a great one. Scorsese is one of the best film makers in Hollywood!

I’m glad Scorsese is finally making a fictional film that is not a music documentary!

BREAKING NEWS: Neil E. Boyd wins “America’s Got Talent” this year…

Leave a comment

What an unexpecting surprise! Neil E. Boyd wins “America’s Got Talent” this year, yep, he wins the million dollars and gets to headline the Las Vegas show.

I was hoping either Nuttin’ But Strings or Queen Emily would win it, but Neil E. Boyd ended up getting the win.

Neil E. Boyd is talented though. I dig opera music myself sometimes.

Report: Phish is officially reunited but for part time or full time?

Leave a comment

Are you down with disease? Yes, that’s right. Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman are back together again to play for more shows!!! Ever since Trey Anastasio graduated from his drug treatment program here in the Capital District area, Trey immediately got busy to doing what he loves best…MUSIC!!!

Phish is booked for a three concert date at the Hampton Colisuem in Hampton, Virginia. Even more concert dates will be announced later in 2009. Does this mean that Phish has a full time world tour ahead of them? We’ll just have to wait and see!!!

The Associated Press reports:

It wouldn’t surprise me if the band came back full time. I lost count how many times they broke up and came back.

I can’t blame Trey though, he is probably doing the Phish reunion to celebrate getting out of drug rehab.

Glad he is happy again and hope he’ll stay off the drugs.

Report: “Friday Night Lights” Season 3 will debut on DirectTV tonight but not yet on NBC!!!

Leave a comment

If you own DirectTV sattelite, you’ll get the opportunity to see the first episode of “Friday Night Lights” for Season 3 tonight. Look on your onscreen sattelite DirectTV guide to see what time and what channel it is on.

Last year, the show “Friday Night Lights” came this close to getting cancelled for good due to low ratings, but DirectTV made a deal with NBC to get Season 3 greenlighted since there are still a lot of fans that watch the show.

Season 3 will be 13 episodes this year. Season 3 will debut on NBC sometime after the Superbowl.

More on it here:

I’m sure the first episode of FNL Season 3 will get leaked on the internet somewhere.

I don’t watch too much cable TV but “Friday Night Lights” is one of the TV shows I love that I watch on a regular basis whenever it is on. I haven’t missed one episode. I watched all of Season 1 and Season 2. Can’t wait for Season 3!!!

Tom Green and Andrew Dice Clay would make the show more entertaining. Those two guys will piss the Donald off pretty quickly that it won’t be long for them to hear those two words.

Report: Jack Black to star in “Bourne” parody…

Leave a comment

Jack Black will reunite with his “Kung Fu Panda” writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger for an untitled live action comedy with Universal pictures. The film is described as a Jason Bourne parody spoofing off the movies starring Matt Damon. The plot will be about Jack’s character finding himself washed up the shores of Cuba, then he couldn’t remeber who he is and how he got there. He comes to the conclusion that he is a superspy, though in reality he is far from one.

Jack Black’s next movie he will star in is “Year One” directed by Harold Ramis.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

This “Bourne” parody sounds like it’s going to be a LOL riot throughout the whole thing.
