John, we have the same all-time favorite song! I once wrote an entire novel simply because I had a flash of inspiration consisting of that song playing over the opening credits if it were made into a movie. I would be perfect…

1) Super Size Me friends:
This is a slight contradiction: the Wonder Woman film is “on pause” (not dead) due to the Superfriends film, but a Green Lantern and a Flash film are on a fast track, with directors named without scripts. Interesting.
But if Superfriends isn’t made, one of these could be more realistic. (and what about Lobo, Joel?) Worse, if SuperFucked is made and it is a bomb that no hero is immune from, what does that mean for a Flash that didn’t work or a Lantern that was crap?

2) The Shat and Star Trek.
This was the story I alluded to the other day on Now Live. Oddly enough, nowhere in those stories was the ‘reboot’ word mentioned.

3) Peter Jackson firing Gosling.
An interesting comment by Gio. When Gosling was rumored to have walked away, what were your comments, John? Didn’t you berate the actor for doing so? Now it turns out Jackson fired him, and Gosling is still a bad guy? God forbid Gosling be an actor whose authority supercedes a director, because if it were so, folks would be praising him like Ed Norton over Tony Kaye.

4) Lohan reality. Who needs the show? We get enough of it on ET, E!, VH1 Best Week Ever and Inside Edition…don’t we?

5)Big Screen Galactica.
Makes some trivia sense. The original series pilot was blown up and (notoriusly) trimmed on the sides for a brief theatrical run as well back in the ’70’s. Why not come full circle?

6) Brett not on Escape From New York.
I am not the biggest Ratner fan, but I usually don’t join in on the bash fest because there are some films he’s done which I thought were alright. Not outstanding or great, but alright.

I think it would be funny as beans if someone approached someone with a connection to good ol’ John Carpenter. Heck, just get John, say bye bye to Gerry and give us “Escape From Earth”….ha!

Wonder Woman is gonna want to stay in development hell, since it looks like they are waiting for how JLA does.

I want to say this off my chest, WHAT THE FUCK~?! They are getting started with the Superfriends spinoffs?! And those movies are going to tie in to JLA? I do not like this, and the director of The Flash has done mainly comedies.

I don’t know what to expect with Green Lantern, but at least THAT looks to have some promise, until it falls under “JLA spinoff” category.

Donald, BSG season 4 doesn’t start until April. That really sucks

And Gosling was toatly wrong for Lovley Bones. He was going to play a father to a 14 year old

Hey John A.

I don’t disagree that that’s how it SHOULD be. But the reality is that his suicide attempt was major headline news… and until he addresses the issue, it’s going to be a major distraction from the film itself.

If he even did a quick 2 minute statement the day before about his incident, then I think the interview would have been MUCH more effective. As it is, no one was paying attention to the movie issues.

“Wilson and Wes Anderson just talked about their new movie and didn’t mention the suicide attempt once, which made the whole interview pointless… because the looming issue distracted the viewers from anything else that was being said anyway.”

I actually feel the opposite. The personal lives of movie stars is not movie news to me. Movie news is who is starring, directing and producing so and so movies. Movie news is how a movie is changing from its original source material. I watch movies not to know about actors lives but to be entertained. I do feel for Owen Wilson but I just hate the whole dissecting the lives of those involved in the entertainment industry.

I would LOVE to see BSG on the big screen. A shame I am no where near any of those cities. On the other hand, I am confused as to what happens next. Does Razor come out and is followed by the series or do we have to wait for January???
