Props to Kevin 0 Comments

At the C2E2 Expo today, Lucasfilm Director of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet revealed anticipated information about the Star Wars films coming to Blu-ray.
"We have been at work for a couple of years working on—I won't call it the Ultimate Set because we keep finding stuff—but, a very full set of all six movies on Blu-ray with lots of extra material. We're finding all kinds of scenes from dailies that have never been seen before. Beyond all of those things that you know about… there are some real treasures."

April 16, 2010 Props to Fred 0 Comments
 Now that I'm done drooling over the above picture from the set of the movie...

There hasn't been much news regarding the upcoming Jonah Hex. As a matter of fact, there hasn't been any. No poster. No trailer. No stills. Finally, a spokesperson states that a trailer will premiere before A Nigthmare on Elm Street.

Although, frontman of the band Mastodon, Brent Hinds has a few negative words about the project after the jump...

An Update on 'The Hobbit'

Props to Fred 0 Comments
Peter Jackson sat down with Moviefone to discuss the forthcoming prequel/adaptation. Regarding the alleged delays...
"Well, it's not really been delayed, because we've never announced the date. I mean it's sort of interesting because the studio [MGM] has never greenlit 'The Hobbit,' so therefore 'The Hobbit' has never been officially announced as a "go" project, nor have we ever announced a date. But there's so much interest that people -- newspapers and magazines, of their own account, say, ah, it's likely to film in May, it's likely to film in June, it's likely to film in September. People make this stuff up. And then if it's not filming in June, you get a story saying, "'The Hobbit's' been delayed." But it's never actually been announced."

Props to Kevin 0 Comments

Over at JoeBuddenTV back in November, Joe Budden posted that he had to write the most important verse of his entire career and that he goes last on the song in question. This thread is brought back up recently with the announcement of Eminem's new album, Recovery, and the recent leak of Royce Da 5'9"'s Bar Exam 3 track, 'Nobody Fuckin' With Us', in which Royce says...
"Shady. Got a nice ring to it, huh? Don't that shit sound so good coming from me? If you like the white boy, then your ass might as well start liking me too, because from here on out, anytime you see him, you're going to see me too"

John Malkovich confirms he was set to be The Vulture

Props to Fred 0 Comments
What was once a rumor, is now confirmed. John Malkovich was set to play The Vulture in the now dead sequel, Spider-Man 4.
"Yes [I was disappointed] but I mean, because I like Sam, and I like Tobey, and all that stuff and the producers, one of whom I had met before because I had been offered the first one [film]. And one of which I came to know, I like them all, yeah sure why not, but it didn't play out. Yeah, I think a lot of the people who sort of follow that genre-- I'm not sure I never really spoke with Sam about this, but I'm not sure-- maybe either the kind of fanbase, the fanboys, the base of that perhaps didn't approve of that character as an adversary to some extent, or maybe the studio, or maybe that was totally unrelated to why that fell apart. I heard various things about it, but yeah it was a drag because I like Sam, and he's offered me a couple of things and it hasn't worked out."
Too bad.

Yahoo! has released its updated version of the well-known "100 Movies to See Before You Die" to fit the more modern movies into the list. Only 17 movies from the original list transferred over to this one, but I found this list to be MOSTLY true.

Take a look at the list and comment your opinions.

KEVIN SIDENOTE:  Actually it's 101 Movies because they accidentally left off 'The Blair Witch Project'. :)

April 14, 2010 Props to Brittany 0 Comments
Since tax day, April 15, is such a stressful day for so many people, many companies are going out of their way to make it all a little easier on their customers. Boston Market, for example, is offering "buy a meal, get a meal free" from Thursday through Sunday this week, and Starbucks is giving free coffee to everyone who brings in their own reusable coffee mug all day on Thursday. They say that this is not only an effort to help on tax day, but also a message to and a way of helping the environment. There are other companies offering freebies on Thursday, too.
