Well just a little hodgepodge of things I noticed lately. First I want to send out congratulations to Mr. Forest Whitaker on his Star on the Walk of Fame. While this honor has lost some of it’s status, there is no question that it is still a status symbol that is desired by all entertainers. Mr. Whitaker has come into his own and this just continues to cement his place in Hollywood. I’m glad to hear of this further step into the history books.
Looking into the future, I know I’ve mentioned it but this is going to be quite the summer movie season. 14 sequels are planned to come out. There are several I’m looking forward to. I’ve talked about Pirates 3, Spiderman 3, Die Hard 4 and others. I recently saw the trailer for the Bourne Ultimatum and I think this may be the best movie of the season. Of course there are the less inspired sequels that will be out as well. Shrek 3 is only a money grab, though it might be good, while Fantastic Four 2 is just to give teen boys another chance to stare and dream about the invisible parts of Ms. Jessica Alba. But the bigger question is where are the original ideas? What happens when the final Harry Potter installment is done, and all the good comic books have been translated to film? I’ll take the good with the bad, but if there are these many sequels coming out shortly I have to wonder if there is anything original and compelling anywhere in the Hollywood pipeline.
Oh a reminder, boycott Georgia Rules. Hanoi Jane should not profit from anything again, and hopefully if yet another film she stars in flops directors and exec will stop putting her in movies.
And for the dog lovers out there, the most beautiful Bulldog has now been crowned. The winner is Riggs. I realize not everyone can appreciate the beauty of a bulldog, but I am sure their character shines brightly. I think they are the most charismatic dogs ever. Riggs of course leads the pack on this point.
Well I just wanted to get up a little bit before I go and discuss the Mr. Alec Baldwin situation, and Mr. Russell Simmons comments.
This is what I think, what do you think?
