A year after the cancellation of the cult TV show Twin Peaks, director David Lynch’s follow up prequel Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was a box office failure, putting what many people thought would be the nail in the franchise’s coffin.  That was the case until now.
Star of the original series Kyle MacLachlan is […]

Martin Scorsese’s latest, Shutter Island, will hit theaters on October 2 this year and I for one couldnt be more excited. Leonardo DiCaprio seems to get a little bit better in every collaboration with Marty, and this role looks like an extremely challenging task.Joining the cast is Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Jackie Earle […]

Ah, yes. With all the painfully vapid crap polluting the tube these days, I never understood why Futurama, a legitimately entertaining show with a sizeable fanbase, was left languishing in the TV graveyard. What’s more, the fact that the post-Fox DVD specials were every bit as smart and funny as the series itself showed that the cartoon still had some life left in it.

Well, in a surprising turn of events a group of television executives managed to extract their crania from the opposite end of the body long enough to make a decent decision. The consequence is that Futurama will be back on our screens at some point in mid-2010. While Fox have retained the option to broadcast the first run, Comedy Central will likely be the ones airing the twenty-six new episodes.

While Sarah Palin, who apparently still exists, may have spoiled the surprise a little while back, it’s still good to hear confirmation that Stephen Colbert will be taking his act to Baghdad. Here’s a snippet from the Variety.com report:

Stephen Colbert will broadcast four shows next week from Baghdad, where he says he’ll be “Bob Hoping” it for the troops.

…

The series of shows, each to be taped in front of an audience of about 450 troops, have been dubbed “Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando.” It’s the first time anyone has broadcast from Iraq for a USO tour.

Well, I think we all saw this coming. The word on the web is that we’ve already had our first “Bruno”-related lawsuit, and the movie is still some way from hitting the big screen. A lady by the name of Richelle Olson claims that she now needs a wheelchair or cane to move her litigious self from place to place due to an incident involving Sacha Baron Cohen.

The story, as far as we know it, is this: SBC, playing the role of Bruno, somehow made his way into a charity bingo tournament in Palmdale, California and ended up calling the numbers. Naturally, the mood soon turned sour as Bruno began launching f-biscuits left, right and centre, and before long the aforementioned Richelle Olson decided it was time to get involved. Olson, whose age and alibi for playing bingo have not been revealed, struggled to pull the mic from Bruno, and claims to have subsequently been attacked by the camera crew for “at least a minute”.

Good grief. It seems as if this is really going to happen. You may not think it a particularly big deal that someone’s going to make a Waldo movie, but you’re ignoring the manifold steps involved in such a project. At some point a man or woman entered a room and told a group of people that they thought it would be a good idea to make a flick about a stripy-jumpered chump who has the good grace to hide himself in a crowd. Those people agreed. They then approached another group of people and asked them for millions of dollars to create a movie about the aforementioned twat in a hat. They also agreed. At some point they will actually make a movie about this bespectacled lurker, and on its release many thousands of people will spend up to eleven dollars to watch it. A significant percentage of those people will enjoy the movie and subsequently spend up to thirty dollars purchasing the DVD or Blu-ray so that they can find Waldo all over again.

I may not be the most objective fellow when it comes to matters relating to 50 Cent, and it’s the same case for many fans of the genre formerly known as hip-hop. The problem, you see, is that I’ve been a champion of rap since my earliest exposure to the music in the mid-nineties, and as such I’m expected to stand up for it whenever the situation calls for such actions. While I often make an effort, it’s increasingly difficult to justify my relationship with it, much like dating a girl who has gained twenty pounds since you first met her. Folks like Mr. Cent only make my job harder, what with the glorification of violent crime, drug dealing and liberal use of the f.
