Report: Angelina Jolie officially confirmed for “Salt”…

Leave a comment

Since Tom Cruise is no longer attached to “Edwin A. Salt”, sources say that film makers were in negotiations with Angelina Jolie to play the leading role. Rumours were swirling that she is no longer attached as well, but this article here confirms that she is signed to the role. The movie is now re-titled “Salt” due to a gender change of the leading character. The leading character was written as male, but now they changed it to female.

Filming of “Salt” that stars Angelina Jolie is aimed to begin in February of 2009.

Hope they make her hot looking in this one. Look like another action thriller for Angie. I like her more in action thrillers than drama films.

Report: “Quantum of Solace” 007 to run 1 hr. and 40 minutes…plus famous catchphrase dropped from film…

Leave a comment

There’s been over 20 James Bond flicks over the years and pretty much all of them have been 2 hours or more. Consider this to be the very first James Bond film in history to be the shortest film ever. It’s been confirmed that the new James Bond flick that stars Daniel Craig will run about 1 hr. and 40 minutes.

From the article:

“Of Note: Marc Forster revealed to Cinematical that the running time for Quantum of Solace is just over an hour and forty minutes, making it the shortest Bond film ever. Also, read on to find out why Forster won’t direct another one.”

Smart marketing plan! It is getting kind of old of every single Bond flick being so long and it’s about time for a change. 1 hr. and 40 minutes is pretty short.

And another “Quantum of Solace” note, this article states that the movie decided to stop it’s famous catchphrase “Bond…James Bond”.

Good move dropping the catchphrase or bad mistake?

I think it’s a good move. It’s time to give James Bond a little more character and give him a different feel.

Looking forward to the movie as I will see it in theater. I hope it’s good.

Report: Denis Leary slams Emmy award show hosts for bad timing in jokes and not being funny enough…

Leave a comment

Legendary stand up comic, Denis Leary, criticized and bashed the hosts of this years “Emmy” award show. Ryan Seacrest, Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron, Howie Mandel and Jeff Probst who all hosted the show were blasted by Leary saying that the 5 hosts were telling jokes in bad timing and Leary thought the jokes weren’t funny enough. Leary says he was half excited to be there and half bored at the same time. He also says, he should have been the one hosting the entire show himself.

Leary is a comic veteran. He has tons of comic experience. So he speaks the truth and speaks from the heart. I didn’t see the “Emmy’s” this year and don’t care to see it.

I agree with Leary that he is the one that should have hosted it, if he did, I would have watched the “Emmy’s” just for him, because Denis Leary is the fucking man! HE RULES!

Report: Clay Aiken finally out of the closet?

Leave a comment

For many years there has been lots of speculation if Clay Aiken is gay, the next issue of People magazine features an interview with Clay Aiken himself where he admits to being a homosexual after all these years. He has been asked if he is gay many times but he kept his mouth shut about his private life until now.

Is “People” magazine accurate and truthful? Expect to hear from Clay Aiken himself soon on whether he is going to say that article in “People” is fake or real.

Report: Dave Mustaine is desperate for a #1 Megadeth album in Billboard Top 200…

7 Comments

Dave Mustaine admitted in the Megadeth official forums that the band never had a no. 1 record in the Billboard and his goal with the next record is that he wants it to be no. 1. After just releasing the latest Megadeth album “United Abominations” in 2007 (which that album kicks hella ass by the way), Megadeth is preparing to work in the studio on their next record while the band is just finishing their tour.

Dave is an amazing musician and an excellent songwriter. I’m glad he is preparing for another Megadeth album this soon, but do you think it’ll be no. 1?

I don’t know, I’ll have to wait to hear the album first and then I’ll judge. Their last record “United Abominations” was amazing.

Megadeth shouldn’t be obsessed with making a no. 1 record when they should concentrate on making great music for their fans. Just shows that Dave Mustaine still have a huge ego in him and he’s clearly competing with Metallica, big time. That’s the whole point of Dave forming Megadeth to begin with to compete with Metallica.
