It can be easy to understand the public outcry regarding Hollywood remaking the horror films from the 70’s to the late 80’s. There are so many of them being made that it’s tough to keep a, ahem, body count. But now here is one of the worst offenders: a remake which isn’t *really* a remake at all. Prom Night has no remote connection to the 1980 slasher much less the Mary Lou sequels that followed the original. NO. This offender is in name only. So in theory 1980’s Prom Night could still be remade, it just can’t be called Prom Night. Ouch. (more…)

It’s interesting to see how real life influences Hollywood’s subject matter. In the 50’s, the nuclear threat spawned a whole genre of monster movies, in the 80’s it was the Russians, and for a few years now we’ve seen a steady stream of movies about terrorism. Some of those have been brainless action flicks where Middle-Eastern terrorists simply replaced their Russian predecessors, but thankfully there’s also the occasional gem. Like this one.

Jesse Jackson Drops The ‘N’ Bomb
July 17th, 2008
As most of y'all know, Fox News didn't reveal all the 'crude' things Jesse Jackson said about Barack Obama into that 'hot' Fox mic last week.
Well, a new report says that in addition to the infamous "nuts cutting" comment Jackson also said the following:
"Barack…he's talking down to black people…telling n*****s how to behave."
This was confirmed to be authentic by a Fox News Channel representative.
So not Reverend like!

Eggman’s Entry for the Moby Video Competition

July 17th, 2008
"I’ve always thought of it as an old woman’s name, so I demanded that everyone call me Blair. In high school, when people found out my name was Selma, they’d call me things like Smell-ma or Salmonella. That stuff basically came from friends, and I never really had any enemies, so I just kind of smiled through it. I still don’t like my name. It does not fall prettily off the tongue. In fact, it’s hideous. My middle name is James, and I like to be called that."

Sluttyiena’s Effing Everything Up
July 17th, 2008
Looks like Sienna "Sluttiest One of All" Miller is fucking up Brothers & Sisters actor Balthazar Getty's personal AND professional life.
A friend of Getty's soon to be ex-wife says, "It's humiliating. Rosetta left the country to protect the kids, and he continues to see Sienna publicly."
Rosetta Getty and her four kids with Balthazar were reported to be in Italy.
Doesn't it suck that Balthazar was tramping around with Slutty in Italy last week when his kids were there, too?
Slutbag met Getty through his Brothers & Sisters costar Matthew Rhys.
Rhys, who also got some action from Slutty, was livid when the Italy photos of the couple surfaced, says a source.
Sounds like there's going to be a lot of tension behind the scenes at Brothers & Sisters!
Sluttyienna, continually living up to her nickname.

Katherine Heigl about to learn why you don’t piss off your writers
July 17th, 2008
After dropping out of the Emmy race and announcing she "wasn't given the material to warrant a nomination," Katherine Heigl basically shit in the corn flakes of the Grey's Anatomy writers. And now they're striking back. *Spoiler Alert* HER CHARACTER GETS A BRAIN TUMOR. *End spoiler.* Did I do that right? Us Weekly reports:
“[Producer] Shonda [Rhimes] and the writers are pissed at her,” the source tells Us. “It’s their way of screwing with her. She won’t know whether she’s going to live or die.”While I admire the writers for exacting their revenge, I'm a little disappointed. A brain tumor? (Oh, shit. SPOILER!) I mean, is that the best they can do? I was hoping for something along the lines of Katherine's character falling in love with Osama bin Laden. Together they try to make things work while balancing their careers. (He's a terrorist; she's a doctor. Wacky!) And, of course, there'd be several subplots where it's revealed her character hates puppies, freedom and the laughter of children. I should really write a pilot.
