Julius Carry dies.

Julius Carry has passed away, he was basically a television actor most recently starring in an episode of The Unit, but I remember him as a character that only lasted a couple of episodes. He played Bill on Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place and his character owned the pizza place.

The BoA is saddened by this loss.

This is interesting, but FAKE!

I would love to see this actually be real, but it's not. Chris Nolan has not signed for another Batman flick, although, I believe it's likely he will. Bale is signed, but will only do it if Nolan does it. Also, after Ledger's passing I think people want to leave it alone for a minute. Regardless someone fucked around and made a Dark Knight Returns poster with The Riddler's impression on it. Question marks, and stuff riddle (see what I did there) the new paper clipping that's used as the backdrop of the poster. All in all. It looks fairly sweet, and the person did a really good job with it.

Laurence Fishburne joins "CSI"

Laurence Fishburne, from The Matrix and most recently in 21 starring opposite Kate Bosworth will join CSI: Crime Scene Investigations in it's 9th episode after star William Peterson departs the show for good. Fishburne will play an ex-pathologist who is working as a College Criminalistic's professor. He winds up helping the team with a specific case and gets lured in; thus joining the team full time.

With Peterson's departure the show was lacking a central part of the show, so adding a big named actor was the only recourse.

Maybe we'll get a Voltron movie before I die.

This is from DarkHorizons.net.

Justin Marks, the young scribe behind the upcoming Green Arrow film "Super Max" and the new film version of "He-Man", penned the script described as "a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico, where five survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth's invaders."

Super Max has sounded so good for so long that I just don't think it'll ever happen. The He-Man script he wrote is apparently too bad for words.

Stine's "Goosebumps" get writers...

Remember those movies like 18 years ago called Problem Child starring this kid:



You have to admit you kind of liked the flick when it came out in 1990 and even it's ill conceived sequel...John Ritter, God Rest his Soul...did this crap for a living. He did meet his wife though, so it's all gravy.

Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski are teaming up for Goosebumps which'll be based on the old RL Stine Books of the same now. They're actually in the middle of some big projects as of late. The two-some has Ripley's Believe it Or Not starring Jim Carrey (Tim Burton was attached to direct but dropped out), Cell which'll be directed by Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel) which is based on the Stephen King thriller of the same name. They also wrote Ed Wood which is a fucking cult-favorite.

Question is, why are they making a Goosebumps movie now? Ten years too late (practically 20) and of all the random things to do, why sign up these to guys to write it?

Schwartzman is bored...

Jason Schwartzman used to be the drummer for one of my favorite bands ever Phantom Planet. Now that he's gone, the band has taken a turn from their nocturnal effervescent moaning to play regular rock n' roll. Which, to be honest, I love. Regardless, I've always regarded Jason Schwartzman as a decent, but wholly misunderstood actor. He's done flicks like Shopgirl, and Darjeeling Limited and Rushmore among others. He was in a little show, that no one remembers called Cracking Up as well. The show starred Molly Shannon and Christopher MacDonald, and was about a college student (Schwartzman) who moved into their Beverly Hills Guest House. It was a crazy show that wasn't recieved well by viewers or critics. It was created by Pasadena mastermind Mike White, so there you go.

So, Shwartzman has taken a bit of time off from TV after starring in a few flicks, and comes back with a show called Bored to Death which is written by Jonathan Ames and directed by Alan Taylor, who directed basically everything HBO ever put on the air (literally). You're asking yourself, who the fuck is Jonathan Ames, and I wish I could tell you. All I know is that he starred in like five episodes of Moonlighting counting back 20 years ago. He also was on the show "The Moth" which I've never heard of. He had a role in Guilty By Suspicion as "Cabbie" which, I believe is him driving a cab. The show Bored to Death is about an author (no doubt struggling) named Jonathan (really!?) who pretends to be a Private Eye.

Sounds intriguing. Mainly because of Schwartzman's involvement
