Oct 2 2007Some Other Crap That Happened...
- The nation breaths a collective sigh of relief as Comedy Central renews Mind of Mencia. Carlos Mencia then steals that sigh to use for a joke about "beaners." [Hollywood Reporter]
- Rome's Marc Antony, James Purefoy, has been cast as puritan swordsman Solomon Kane in a movie to be made from the stories of Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard. This is relevant if you have tons of Magic cards or your favorite band is Rush. [Reuters]
- Steven Moffat will write Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg's collaborative Tintin trilogy, adapting Herge's comic strip. However, the headline 'Tintin Goes to DinDin!' will still be written by US Weekly, referring to whatever actor that plays Tintin eating out with a hot young starlet. [Hollywood Reporter]
- The Wall-E trailer I posted yesterday is now available in higher quality video and in English, the highest quality language. [Yahoo!]
- Javier Bardem is set to play Pablo Escobar with Christian Bale as a Delta Force commander sent out to kill him in the biopic Killing Pablo. Hate to ruin the ending for you, but the film's title is in no way ironic. [Variety]

carlos mencia sucks. The only reason Comedy Central is still carrying him is because they haven't found an adequate filler for the racially charged humor gap that Dave Chappelle left. I hope carlos mencia chokes to death on a phallic and the scene is eventually brodcasted on youtube.

Oh no. Why did they have to renew Mencia's show? Maybe he should steal some comedy writers from The Daily Show why he's at it.

Well, here's hoping the Pablo Escobar does better than the bio-pic of him in Entourage.
Needs more Billy Walsh, though.

Mencia blows.
