George Clooney And Smoke House Move From Warner Bros To Sony
I haven’t always been a fan of George Clooney’s. I first came across him during his “ER” days, at an age when it was cool to mock such things. The bias I harbored after that continued all the way up through and beyond “Batman & Robin.” Then Clooney started taking on smart projects, like “Three [...]
Rose McGowan’s New Dog And ‘Twilight’ Actor Peter Facinelli In A Bikini In Today’s Twitter-Wood
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled 5-0 today that Al Franken won last year’s Senate election, and it didn’t take long for responses to start popping up in the Twitter-Wood feed, including reactions from Larry King and Graham Linehan. Magician and quick-witted thinker Penn Jillette also brought politics into his tweets, pointing out the relevance of [...]
Ramon Rodriguez May Get Equal Screen Time With The Robots In The Next ‘Transformers’
Hollywood has a peculiar way of getting ahead of itself. It’s all about that hype train; you want to load in as many passengers as possible while it’s at top speed and then sort out the destinations later. Take last week’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and its seemingly inevitable sequel. Director Michael Bay’s robot [...]
John Turturro Wants To Be The Jesus Again… So Let Him, Coen Brothers!
There’s a peculiar love out there for the Coen brothers’ “The Big Lebowski.” Something about the quirky characters, bizarre story and hilarious writing that just sticks with people. I don’t claim to understand it, but I am one of the many fans to have been caught in its tight, oddball embrace.
None of us really believe [...]

‘Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince’ Gets Limited July 15 IMAX Opening
Harry Potter fans had reason to hate Transformers earlier this month when they learned the IMAX release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” would be delayed because of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” That robo-blockbuster sequel has the majority of IMAX screens booked solid for a whole month, meaning that when “Half-Blood Prince” opens [...]
Watching The ‘Watchmen’ In Today’s eBay Prop-Watch
I’ve been feeding you readers a pretty constant stream of overly expensive (or sometimes just questionable) items in my daily eBay Prop-Watch postings. Today I’m veering off in a little bit of a different direction: the selection is affordable and very clearly not a prop. It is a cool, fan-serving little piece of ephemera [...]
