| 12/21/2009 - Brittany Murphy Is Dead - My first reaction was that it was most likely drug related, but what do I know? I saw other speculation that it could've been due to years of eating disorders, but what do they know?
Regardless, it sucks when people die. I sincerely hope it wasn't due to any self abuse; that would make it more of a waste because it could've been prevented.
I wrote this about her 2 months ago: Review of a Brittany Murphy Movie
2 months later, its suddenly in bad taste, but I had no way of knowing that at the time. For personal reasons, I'm glad she wasn't killed by an earthquake in real life. That'd be too weird. |
| 12/11/2009 - Bryce Howard cast as VICTORIA in Twilight Eclipse?! - First of all, I don't care about Twilight too much. I look forward to the movies, but not in any major way. I enjoyed the first two.
Nor do I have any particular interest or disinterest in Bryce Howard. She seems like a lovely actress. I like what she has done to date.
If Bryce was cast as Victoria for all the movies, then I'm sure she'd be great.
The thing that's funny about this recast is that in my review of NEW MOON, I commented on how great whats-her-face is in the role. I thought she was really great for all 9 seconds she was on screen. Am I the minority?
Anyway, I think this happened back in July but I just noticed it. According to the article I saw, the press release stated it was due to a scheduling conflict. But, the old Victoria was stunned by the news. Those don't mesh well together.
My preference would be to keep the current actress. Let her keep being awesome. Bryce has plenty of other things to do. |
| 3/29/2009 - Where are the Wachowski Brothers? - I keep checking IMDB to see what the Wachowski brothers are going to do next. There's nothing there. Its been almost a year since Speed Racer... I thought they'd have something else in the pipeline by now. |
| 3/24/2009 - Another Oh-oh - The Karate Kid remake - Today I saw that JACKIE CHAN is going to play Mr. Miyagi. Doh! I have a really bad feeling about this. Jackie Chan is great, but he's a comedic actor. Mr. Miyagi shouldn't be a comedic role.
Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid. He's only 11 years old, though. Unless they add 5 camera years, he's too young.
I have a bad feeling about this. If it turns out to be horrible, at least we still have the original classic to embrace for all eternity. |
| 3/3/2009 - I just went to Blockbuster.com and confirmed that JCVD is a blockbuster exclusive. Darn. - |
