There they are, the big three, Lucas, Ford and Spielberg.

Lucas and Spielberg look like they are not in the mood for a photoshoot at this point.

Cate smiling and posing for the photogs.

More Cannes photos to come as I find ’em!

Enjoy.

BREAKING NEWS: “Prince Caspian” beats the hell out of “Iron Man” in box office match…

The new “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” topped “Iron Man” just like I predicted. “Prince Caspian” started off pretty quietly and not making a lot of money Friday but picked up pretty quickly over the weekend. “Prince Caspian” beat down “Iron man” in world records.

The Associated Press reports:

I’ll be seeing “Prince Caspian” tomorrow afternoon on my day off of work. I can’t wait to see it.

I just love the first movie “The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe”, such a beautiful and perfect movie. I watched “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” on DVD last week and the film still amazes me. I think the Chronicles of Narnia series is the best live action movie Disney made by far. And I’m sure I’m gonna love “Prince Caspian”. “Prince Caspian” got a PG rating and it’s very rare that Disney movies get that kind of rating because of all the violence in the film. I hear it’s a very violent film. I’m really looking forward to seeing “Prince Caspian”.

Report: “Iron” Mike Tyson gets respect at Cannes in France…

Former Catskill, N.Y. native “Iron” Mike Tyson attended  the “Cannes Film Festival” in France over the weekend where he debuted his new documentary titled “Tyson” directed by his friend James Toback. The film “Tyson” is a documentary about the fighters life. After the film got over with, Tyson got some respect from the audience by giving the man a standing ovation applause. Tyson admits to living a troubled life, by being addicted to dangerous drugs, being involved with dangerous and bad people, sleeping with married women, etc.

The Associated Press reports:

Even though he had a troubled life, it’s nice to see Tyson get some respect for once. He’s gotten too much hate over the years.

He is a talented fighter and a legend, like him or not. Tyson may have an ego problem, but heck, all boxers have egos. A lot of fighters do, the ego is what helps them get up there in their careers.

Report: Audience reaction of “Indy and the Crystal Skull” at Cannes…

Well, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” made it’s debut at Cannes this weekend. Of course most of the cast and crew attended the event and watched their own movie there along with Spielberg, Lucas and Ford. Did the audience cheer and clap throughout the entire movie? Not really. The Indy 4 audience at Cannes got a mixed reaction. Some were excited and loved the film, some did not enjoy it.

When Ron Howard’s “The Da Vinci Code” debuted at Cannes last year, “The Da Vinci Code” got a harsh negative reaction that the audience walked out with a dissapointment and thought the film sucked.

Indy 4 got mixed reviews from the audiences.

The Associated Press Reports:

This isn’t a good sign that Indy 4 could top “Iron Man”.

But either way, I’m looking forward to seeing it myself. Can’t wait!

Cool Video: New Kids on the Block, first live reunion performance on the Today Show…

For those that missed it, here you go…while I’m not a fan of this type of music, in fact I hate it, I give the New Kids credit for not lip synching. You can tell this is real singing by the guys all the way. This performance is 100% live everything. They have a live band behind them and the vocals are pretty much real the way I see it.

Thought: Grand Theft Auto IV, how am I doing on the game now?

So I’ve had Grand Theft Auto IV for a while and I’m sure you’re all wondering how I am doing in the game so far. There are only 51 missions in the game in total. So far I’m 26.37% of the game so far and I’ve got 15 more missions left to complete, so I’ve gotten pretty far in it this soon.

This game is actually the most difficult and challenging GTA game ever made. Some missions are easy and simple, but some missions are such a bitch to complete that it takes me many many many tries just to complete one mission.

I haven’t done any helicopter flying yet and I can’t wait to start doing some helicopter flying. The helicopter pretty much what makes the game a hit and the best part of the Grand Theft Auto games. Everybody loves to fly the helicopter in it.

I’m halfway through the game, and I should have the entire game beat hopefully before the end of this month. After I beat GTA IV, I’ll choose another game to move on to next. I don’t know what game I’ll play next after GTA IV though, I’ll have to decide. I have 5 games for the ps3 now ’cause last weekend I picked up the games “Iron Man” and “F.E.A.R.” (a first person shooter) so I’ll probably start one of those next after GTA IV.

Thought: Blake should divorce Amy Winehouse…

Seems like Amy Winehouse enjoys spending time with other men while her husband Blake is in jail. She’s been spending too much time with Mark Ronson and musician Pete Doherty.

I blame Mr. Doherty for keeping Amy on the drugs ’cause after viewing the “Winemouse” video below you can tell they were tripping on something.

Blake should do the right thing and get her in divorce court after he gets out of jail. I don’t think he’d enjoy seeing his wife on a video playing with baby mice with another man. Blake should divorce that crack whore.

I used to love Amy, but I’m losing a great deal of respect from her fast.

Thought: Myspace is full of anonymous fakes…ways to tell that the profile is not real…

So are you the type of myspace user that is willing to add anything that sends you an add request? Are you the type of myspace user that adds people you don’t even know? Or did you come across a myspace fake anonymous just to cyberbully you?

Here are easy ways to tell if the myspace account is anonymous and fake. Many people in myspace aren’t really who they are. When I had my music account up, I came across a lot of fakes so I know this with experience. It’s easy to tell that if a person in myspace is a fake.

Here is a step by step:

  • Their pictures in the photo galleries may look like the same person but if you look closely at each photo you can see that the photos is a different person, example, the face is not quite the same and the hair color of the person is a little different each photo. It’s just their way of trying to make the anonymous page look like a real person.
  • The myspace user uses a default picture that is not of themselves, just some random google images or photoshop work they did themselves.
  • You think you’re making friends with the user, they refuse to give out who they really are, they refuse to give their phone number or where they really live.
  • You want to meet the user in person to hang out like friends, they tell you where to meet, and surprise, they never show.
  • You don’t hear from the user much and rarely see it logging in often…it’s because they are too busy using their own “real” myspace account, switching back and forth to their real one and their anonymous one.
  • In the information they write about like in the “About Me” stuff, they write silly and humorous things that a real person wouldn’t write about themselves, for example they write stuff like, “I’m fat and hairy, Richard Simmons is my hero” and stuff like that. They mainly write nasty and obscene things in the “General Interests”, and “About Me” stuff just to press your buttons.
  • In the comments section, you never see real people interacting with the myspace fake user, it’s mostly either advertisements and myspace hacked accounts posting stuff, for example, you never see the fake users friends calling them by the real name and just posting ads in the comments. Mostly hacked faked accounts. If there were real people in there, they would just be making fun of you.

And there you go. I can completely understand why people with myspace accounts only add people they know ’cause they don’t want to run into fakes. Myspace is a whole world of fake people.

Nothing wrong with adding strangers and trying to make friends with people you don’t know in myspace, but you gotta be careful. Just make sure they are truly a real person and make sure you can trust him or her long enough first.

Report: George Lucas says “Indy 5” is a definite possibility…

At the Cannes Festival, George Lucas was a guest when he saw the animated film “Kung Fu Panda” which Angelina Jolie and Jack Black does the voice overs. George Lucas spoke with Fox News while there and says there is a definite possibility of an “Indy 5”.

“I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this,” he said. “But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.

“And it’s not like Harrison is even old. I mean, he’s 65 and he did everything in this movie. The old chemistry is there, and it’s not like he’s an old man. He’s incredibly agile; he looks even better than he did 20 years ago, if you ask me.”

I’d say bring on another Indy! I love the idea of an aging Indy passing the torch to a younger guy!

Rumour has it that “Indy and the Crystal Skull” did leave open for another movie at the end.
