BATMAN SEQUEL NON-NEWS

We keep getting tons of emails about the latest casting on the sequel to Batman Begins (Batman Resumes?), and I continually have to be Snuffy the Fire Dog and put out the flames of fun. You see, people, it’s extremely difficult (probably not impossible, but difficult, like putting a marshmallow in a piggy bank) to … Continue reading

DAVE’S UNDERGROUND

Yes, yes… I know I keep saying I’m going to get these things on the site more often.  But hey, I’m a guy, I say a lot of things I don’t really mean.  It’s genetic.  However, now that assorted distractions have come and gone, I’m determined to get little belches of the Underground like this … Continue reading

SAM ROCKWELL STICKS OUT HIS THUMB

We heard from doctor of plastic surgery/doom Julian McMahon a couple of months ago that he was considering taking a ride as the titular itinerant madman in Michael Bay’s upcoming remake of the 1986 thriller The Hitcher, but now a different hitchhiker is being eyeballed for the part. According to Bay himself, Sam Rockwell is potentially … Continue reading

Gere, last seen hoofing with hotties in Chicago and Shall We Dance, will star in a … Continue reading

Speaking of busy (and fit) guys, The Rock™ will join Reynolds in a … Continue reading
