Take everything Jon Peters says with a grain of salt. Remember, he’s the guy who wanted Kevin Smith to include a giant spider and talking polar bears into his Superman script. He’s one of those Hollywood producers who wears his lack of artistic sense like a badge of honor, the kind of guy who probably … Continue reading

And according to Freeze Dried Movies Tony Stark is giving her a run for the money in Iron Man, changing costumes at least three times. We’ve seen the … Continue reading
