It's about time

Although I wouldn't call it a great trailer, it certainly is better than the first two Simpsons trailer releases and instills more faith in the coming movie.

Still can't say I have much faith in this endeavor...but who knows.

WATCHMEN

Now supposedly, everyone has read it, but I don't know what you guys thing about it. Did you like it? What did you think about the ending? Did your spouse give you crap for "reading a comic book at your age"? Do you think the movie will be any good? ect. ect. ect.
Oh as far as the movie goes, the guy who is doing 300 is doing The Watchmen, but that's all I really know. And that's all I have to know I guess. If you can make The Watchmen look half as cool as 300, can you believe how great of a movie it will make?!?!

Lost for words

What can you say when something like this is confirmed by the trades?

Apparently, Tom Cruise will team up with Ben Stiller for "The Hardy Boys".

I have always contended that Cruise should do more comedies, because he's genuinely funny and pleasant to watch on screen...but this project and Ben Stiller? What can one say to this?

the 10 worst hip hop album covers

I ran across this this morning and I couldn't not share the pure foolishness of it. These are all real album covers and you have to see to believe. I found myself laughing out loud at the artistry involved.

Book Release to Give Potter Legs

This morning they announced that Harry Potter 7 will be released July 21.

Interesting, since had they released it two weeks earlier they could have released the seventh book on 7/7/7. I guess they figured it would do better following the movie release.

Financially, this makes more sense since the movie marketing will overwhelm everything else until that movie is released on the 13th. Then, just as the studio's marketing would typically allow the public's focus to shift to another film...BAM! They release the book, kill off a couple characters and since 12-year-olds certainly aren't going to read the book twice, their piqued interest will be sustained by the film, giving it better legs.

Man that movie's gonna make a bundle!
