3 Comments

Former “Wonder Woman” TV star was boating alone at the Potomac River in Washington state discovered a dead body floating by. She decides to become a real life superhero by doing the right thing about it. She ordered some nearby fisherman to call police.

She said that she did this like anyone else would do. She didn’t do this for her fame, she was doing the right thing.

The Associated Press reports:

Who says superheros can’t be real? Kudos to her for doing the right thing.

Truthfully, most people would be scared to find a dead body in a river or in the woods, that they wouldn’t know what to do with it.

Report: HBO documentary to hunt down Roman Polanski…

Leave a comment

While legendary director Roman Polanski is still living in France filming movies and enjoying life to the fullest, an indie film maker named Marina Zenovich made a documentary titled “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired” to let Mr. Polanski know what he did to that poor little girl is not forgotten.

Back in the 70’s, Polanski was hanging at Jack Nicholson’s house which appears that Polanski was romantically involved with a young 13 year old girl. The two were in Nicholson’s hot tub, and while they were in there, Polanski was serving her drinks and then he drugged her. He then had sex with her later on when the girl was all drugged up.

In trial for the case, Polanski pleaded guilty admitting to having a relationship and having sex with the 13 year old, and then fled to France to avoid prison. After all these years, Roman Polanski is still a fugitive at large to this very day. If he ever gets caught visiting the US, he will go to prison.

His victim now 45, Samantha Geimer will never forget her experience with the legendary film director. Samantha says he didn’t get a fair trial and wants the case to be closed. She’s seen the film herself at a private screening and says it’s very truthful and long overdue.

Marina Zevonich’s documentary “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired” will air on HBO this coming Monday night at 8 p.m.

I’m definitely gonn have to watch this. I refuse to watch any movie made by Roman Polanski ’cause I’m sickened to what he did.

Even though the man admits it, he can’t take responsibility and deal with getting punished so he escapes to France to avoid prison.

I don’t know why Hollywood continues to let him release movies over here. Although he’s banned from coming here in the US, he should be banned from releasing his movies over here too.

No one should support a pedophile.

Report: Leonardo Dicaprio plays the Atari…

Leave a comment

Paramount Pictures has just greenlighted a film titled “Atari”, yes, you guess it, a film about the Atari, one of the very first videogame systems to ever being invented in this planet. This is not really about the Atari videogames, this film is actually a Nolan Bushnell biopic. Nolan Bushnell is the creator and the inventor of the Atari videogame console. Dicaprio is signed to play the role of Nolan Bushnell.

The very first videogame ever made was a game called “Pong” which I used to play as a child all the time. The movie “Atari” will be about the life of Nolan Bushnell. According to research, Nolan Bushnell the real man himself, is still alive and well.

No director has been signed yet to the film.

Variety reports:

Hmmm, when this movie comes out expect videogame systems like the PS3/Xbox to re-release all the old classic Atari games to help promote the film.

The Atari was one of the coolest videogame systems on this planet. I was addicted to that thing when I was a kid. My favorite games were “Pitfall”, “Warlords”, “Asteroids” and “Yars Revenge”.

Whose Side Are You On: Clint Eastwood vs. Spike Lee…

8 Comments

We know we get a lot of big celebrity feuds over the years but it’s very rare that we get a “director vs. director” type of fued in Hollywood films. Spike Lee is angry at Clint Eastwood for not having any black African-American actors in any of Eastwood’s two WWII films “Flags of Our Fathers”, and “The Letters from Iwo Jima”, the two films based on six men raising the American Flag on Iwo Jima.

Eastwood immediately fired back claiming that Spike Lee never studied his World War II history, Eastwood says there were no black people back in those days when the flag was raised, that’s why Eastwood didn’t have black people in that film.

So Spike Lee went ahead and made his own version of the film to show Eastwood how it’s done. Eastwood continues to defend himself from Lee’s dissing and ending it by saying “A guy like Lee should shut his face”.

Lee was quiet after that.

More on it here:

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/2008/06/06/2008-06-06_clint_eastwood_fires_back_at_spike_lee_o.html

I’m siding with Eastwood all the way. Spike Lee is calling Eastwood a racist clearly and Eastwood is in no way a racist ’cause Eastwood used black people in his films in the past as he explained in the article.

Eastwood makes films how he wants them done. He doesn’t need no big shot ego director like Spike Lee pressing Eastwood’s buttons and pulling his strings.

Back off on Eastwood, Spike, you stupid prick. You provoke Eastwood, you deserve the nasty attacks by the man. That’s what you get when you mess with Dirty Harry!

Clint to Spike Lee, “Now you know why they call me Dirty Harry, every dirty job that comes along!”

Report: The Police choose Madison Square Garden in NYC for final gig…

Leave a comment

The Police will perform their final and last gig ever at the legendary Madison Square Garden in NYC on August 7th. The concert will also be a benefit show with proceeds going to New York public television stations Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21. Tickets will only be available via donations to the station starting on June 14th. This will be their final and last gig for sure, then the band is done for good.

Billboard reports:

I’m sure the band would have loved to have their final gig at the CBGB’s the venue where they started at in the first place but since the place is dead, they may as well have it at MSG.

Guitar legend Chuck Berry will perform B.B. King’s “Club and Grill” in NYC tonight at 8 p.m. The club is owned by B.B. King himself which he bought off a woman who used to own the place several months ago. B.B. King has turned the place into a live music venue which features everything from local unsigned bands to famous legendary bands performing there.

For more information on tonight’s show at B.B. King’s Club and Grill, click here:

Pretty cool. Sounds like a cool place to watch live music.

I wonder if B.B. King himself played a gig at his own club yet? I’m sure he played at the grand opening though, not sure.

Report: Adam Sandler to star in thriller…

Leave a comment

Look like Adam Sandler is getting tired of doing comedies all the time that he wants to try different genres. In Adam Sandler’s next announced film, he decides to take a break from comedies again to do a thriller titled, “Shortcut”. Adam Sandler plays a man who goes on a “shortcut” with his brother and then they discover why the shortcut is barely used in their town.

Andrew Seeley, Shannon Woodward, and Dave Franco will also star alongside Adam Sandler. The script is co-written by Adam Sandler’s real life brother, Scott Sandler who is also the owner of the Scary Madison film company.

Production is scheduled to film next month, so this will indeed be Adam Sandler’s next movie after “You Don’t Mess with The Zohan” which is in theaters now.

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ib5821482a13c514f8219249276fd45a0

It must be boring doing comedies all the time, so I can’t blame Adam Sandler for trying different things. Adam had tried other movies besides comedy in the past, movies like “Punch Drunk Love”, “Spanglish”, and “Reign Over Me”, they aren’t comedy films.

“Shortcut” sounds interesting, hope it’ll be good.
