Art School Confidential Trailer #2
The first trailer for Art School Confidential didn't look that interesting to me, but with the second, more of the plot of director Terry Zwigoff's dark comedy is revealed, and it's starting to look pretty decent. Seeing the young cast facing the trials and tribulations of college started to remind me of my glory days back in art school, when all I did was paint and get laid. Or maybe it reminded me more of my four days living in a Shell Station bathroom, eating thrown-away Hostess cakes and showering in the sink. Whichever actually happened.

Vince Vaughn Fighting George Clooney For Magnum P.I.?
The latest casting rumor regarding the feature adaptation of the popular 80's television series, Magnum P.I., is that Vince Vaughn is now contending with George Clooney for the lead:
The scriptwriter is Rawson Marshall Thurber, who wrote Dodgeball, and there are several other guys on the Magnum movie with connections to Vince. George is still favourite but, as time goes by, Vince's name will be thrown up more and more.
When will these Hollywood big-wigs realize that role of Thomas Magnum isn't the kind you can cast with good looks, star power, or comedic timing. This decision needs to be based solely on a mustache. You find the right mustache and the rest will take care of itself. The same goes for NASCAR drivers and child molesters.
Snakes on a Plane Has a Logo
For whatever reason, the makers of Snakes on a Plane have deemed it necessary for the film to have a logo, and Entertainment Weekly's got the scoop. It basically looks like if the American Medical Association logo were designed to be airbrushed on the hood of a Camaro. It's that awesome. And it's just in time, too; I have a tattoo appointment at 4:30.
Mission: Impossible III Poster
The new poster for Mission: Impossible III has been released, finally completing the trilogy of Tom Cruise looking intense in profile. I thought since he's been getting such negative press lately, they might shy away from showing him too prominently, but there he is, looking like a guerilla Time Life operator. If you look closely, you can see his thumb is resting on a small, red button. This is a rare, private look at Cruise's "crazy button."
Gary Oldman to Return to Harry Potter
For those Harry Potter fans nervous about Gary Oldman's unconfirmed involvement in the next film in the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, worry no longer. According to GaryOldman.info, a deal has been reached, and Oldman will be reprising his role as Sirius Black. Sadly, the one person disappointed for the news was the creator of GaryOldman.info, who quickly realized this was probably the only time anyone would ever be interested in exclusive Gary Oldman information.
Daniel Craig to Continue Being Bond
Despite the protests of fans and websites, producer Barbara Broccoli has indicated that Daniel Craig will be returning to the Bond franchise to continue the story they start in Casino Royale, saying:
We are already working on the sequel. We're in the early stages of that. It will be an original story but will continue part of what the story is in Casino Royale.
This seems premature, seeing that they haven't even made the horrible movie yet, but I'll let Barbara Broccoli do whatever she wants. The critical fans still win as long as they continue to not have the name of a cartoon vegetable.
