Lord of the Rings Appeases Nerds
At the upcoming One Ring Celebration in Pasadena, New Line has announced they will be showing never-before-seen bloopers from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. This comes as a shock to many fans, who had assumed the Lord of the Rings universe actually existed. When asked for comment, one particularly distressed fan noted, "This is the saddest day since I saw Lando Calrissian in that beer commercial."
Though still unseen, the clips are rumored to include such highlights as the time the ring wouldn't fit on Elijah Wood's finger, and the time Orlando Bloom seemed masculine.

Josh Lucas In Next Batman?
According to Batman On Film, Josh Lucas, star of such adventures as Stealth and Sweet Home Alabama, may be in the running for the roll of Harvey Dent (AKA Two-Face) in the next Batman film. He might be decent for the role, but I'd take this rumor with a grain of salt, as a local homeless man also told me he was Batman, and that didn't exactly pan out. I mean he had a "Batcave," but it was just a propped-up mattress and some egg cartons. And yes, he had a "costume," but up-close it was just layers of flannel and soot. And wasn't "Robin" just a painted stone? It certainly seemed that way when he threw it at me.
Spider-Man 3 Requires Red Hair
Recent pictures show that Kirsten Dunst's blonde locks have been dyed red, presumably in preparation for the new Spider-Man film. To further prepare for the film, Dunst has remained a talentless snaggletooth.

Woody Allen Hears The Term "Podcast"
In an attempt to fight the complete public disinterest in Woody Allen's Matchpoint, Dreamworks is hosting a series of related podcasts, a term Woody heard only moments before stuttering at the microphone. Some executives must have worried Allen's wordy, neurotic movie-making may not succeed in today's fast-paced society, and recruited Woody to record wordy, neurotic banter in response. Let's hope that works out.
NOTE: Podcasts require iTunes and excessive free time.

Fearless Involves Various Sticks
The official site for Fearless, a new Jet Li movie, has posted the teaser trailer for the film. For those looking forward to seeing Jet Li swing a stick: he totally does--and how! We're talking swinging a stick sideways, over his head, back-and-forth, and even swinging a stick with chains in between smaller stick segments. It's not in English, but when you see this man swinging a stick I'm sure you'll agree that stick swinging* transcends language.
*At one point he also swings a sword, which only transcends some languages.

Superman has sucky backgrounds
Man, they really need to up the budget for this movie. I think audiences might notice if the entire movie is filmed with a green background because the producers couldn't afford to film outside with real sky.
NOTE: If you can't sense my sarcasm then you need to stab yourself in the kidneys.
