A few quick comments as our blood boils
Don't worry, our big "Fuck you Emmy" post is forthcoming, but we're using some casual surfing to calm down in the meantime. Here's what we've learned:
There's going to be a new Ace Ventura movie - without Jim Carrey.
- What an absolutely horrid idea. Did no one learn anything from Son of the Mask? It's going to star John Flitter, some kid from License to Wed (a movie no one saw) and Nancy Drew (ditto). At least he won't have to worry about acting in front of a bigger audience.
A fantastic list of the 50 greatest comic book deaths has hit the Web.
- Superman is No. 1, but we all knew that already. And how could it not be? We waited with dripping palms for the final installment of the Doomsday saga to hit stores, even though we knew it was a shot-in-the-arm marketing gimmick. It worked on us, we followed Kal-El's entire weird trip back through alternate universes, costumes and comics. And who doesn't love the 'ol "the fans voted to snuff out Robin" story?
Mike Vick has revealed his motivation for the whole dog fighting thing.
- Or maybe a sports blog has just satirically taken a stab at it. It's a good read, either way.
The Dark Knight script is online - a review, at least.
- There's nary a spoiler, and really no other pertinent information other than, apparently, it rocks. We weren't nearly as high on Batman Begins as everyone else (we couldn't stand Bale's lowered voice as Batman, and some of the dialogue was just painful, plus there was Katie Holmes), but the Joker's our favorite villian of all time. We'll watch that shit.
The NY Times has jumped the embargo train and published a review of the new Harry Potter.
- It looks like he lives. We say looks like because we've never read a Harry Potter book and aren't going to take the time to read the entire review. But we think it says he lives.
