God, I still remember playing the old Atari game “Missile Command”. I bet if I went scouring through the cupboards back home at my dad’s place the game would still be there – was a couple of years ago.

David Fincher’s long-gestating film adaptation of the Dark Horse comic “The Goon” is still in the works, but because it isn’t “Tangled” or “Yogi Bear”, no studio wants to touch it – yet. “Animation that isn’t singing furry animals is hard. Especially something as outré as Eric Powell. And it’s his script! (laughs) It’s main-lined Eric Powell. We kind of went out with it at the end of the year and I don’t know that a lot of people were paying attention, but hopefully someone will step in and want to (pick it up).” (more…)

Orlando Bloom will snag a sumly $1 million dollars should he agree to reprise Legolas for “The Hobbit”. How long will he be on screen for? All of two minutes. Meantime, Liv Tyler has been offered a hot meal and a bed to reprise her role… ok, just joking. (more…)
“Entourage” scene-stealer Jeremy Piven and Mike O’Malley (“Glee”) have joined the cast of the new Miley Cyrus action-comedy “So Undercover”. The Tom Vaughan directed film tells of a straightlaced FBI agent who goes undecover in a college sorority. Look out for Gilbert and Lewis, Miley! (more...)
If Arnold Schwarzenegger agrees to do another “Terminator” movie, it’s rumoured he’ll be playing numerous characers. He’d play a human character as well as a thousand or so clones of his T-800. Likely to happen? I’d say more chance of my daughter going to bed by 9pm this week. (more…)
