Jul 14 2009 New 'Bruno': Now with Less Genital!
Good news, 15 to 17-year-olds of the UK: soon you'll be able to get in to Bruno without making your older-looking friend with the mustache buy your tickets! Universal International has made a new, less sexually explicit cut of the British Board of Film Classification has given a 15 rating (only those 15 or older admitted), and the studio plans to release this edit alongside the current, 18 certificate film.
The watered-down version will be released July 24, so until then just keep buying tickets to Ice Age and nonchalantly strolling into Bruno, like you're doing now.

Jun 26 2007 Beverly Hills Cop 4 - No New Movies Ever!
Eddie Murphy visiting Spike Lee on the set of The Blackest Eskimo
Lorenzo Di Bonaventura reportedly wants to do another Beverly Hills Cop movie (since the last one was such a masturpiece), but the studios aren't sold on the idea of Eddie Murphy going back to R-rated stuff. Says Di Bonaventura:
I think it's going to be a really interesting debate and it's one we're going to have for a while. That's what I want [an R rating]. Will you guys call Paramount and tell them that? The studios says their research is telling them PG. I'm with you. I won't do it if it's PG-13.
One wonders if this "research" also decided Norbit was a good idea. "Well, our studies show that Eddie Murphy + fat suit = money. This idea can't fail." But regardless of how they feel, I have a solution. The studios don't want to jeopardize Eddie Murphy's family friendly status, but no one wants to see an emasculated Beverly Hills Cop. Fine. Solution? Charlie Murphy.
See that, morons? That's why you have to wear a suit to work and I don't even have to wear pants. Masturbating at our desks is the one thing we seem to agree on.
Jun 25 2007 'Captivity' Release Party to Include Monkey Knife Fights
Don't cry, Elisha, someday you'll meet a real grizzly
Captivity Producer Courtney Solomon is planning a movie release party that will include SuicideGirls, a cage fight hopefully featuring Kimbo Slice, and an undisclosed main event that he says is "probably not legal."
Meanwhile, Captivity's official website says the movie is rated R, for strong violence, torture, pervasive terror, language, sexual material, and "grizzly images," so maybe we'll get to see Elisha Cuthbert get f***ed by a bear. I mean, one can only hope.
Thanks to Brendan for the tip, who's something of a bear himself.
