Travolta and Allen are 'Wild Hogs,' 'Bad Actors'
John Travolta and Tim Allen are reportedly in talks to star in Wild Hogs, a new comedy written by Arrested Development scribe Brad Copeland. The script involves a group of middle-aged suburban men looking for adventure on motorcycle, only to run into a group of Hell's Angels, kind of like Charly without the mental disability part. The information came as particularly good news to Allen, who is grateful for any role that isn't another Santa Clause.

Tyler Perry Continues to Make Madea Crap
I assume as a result of my intense letter-writing campaign, the poster for the new Madea movie has been released. Still missing is the movie poster for Madea's rumored third feature, If Bea Arthur Were Black. Honestly, is this the best makeup we can do?

Flight 93 Teaser Encourages My Uncle
The teaser trailer for Flight 93 has just been released, giving an early glimpse of the April release. The film, directed by Paul Greengrass, is a real-time account of the hi-jacked plane of 9/11, brought down by a group of courageous passengers. Some have questioned the ethics of making a 9/11 movie so soon after the attacks, but Greengrass has promised it will be done tastefully, in the spirit of the bumper stickers where Calvin is pissing on 'terrorism.' While the trailer is careful not to reveal too much, it hasn't stopped my Uncle Gary from joking, "Why see it? I already know the ending," a routine sadly similar to his Titanic schtick from a few years back.

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.
