So much escalating excitement over the slow realization, "oh, they made another G.I. Joe... with Bruce Willis?" and now it won't see a payoff for another ten months. Paramount has delayed G.I. Joe: Retaliation until March 29, 2013 so that they have time to make it more 3D, and ... / Continue →

With Anchorman 2's recent development providing musky bravado to all those other cult-beloved, dick joke-laden comedies birthed from the anachronistic wombs of SNL alumni, now MacGruber is being developed for a sequel, however incredibly unlikely that occurrence might seem. Or ... / Continue →
