A quick update

There was ice coating my car this morning. That was fun. Really.

I slept in this morning in an effort to thwart the evil cold. EVIL!

When I get paid tomorrow, I am totally joining the ACLU. They're not always the best people out there and sometimes they pick really weird battles but I think they're a god place to start. Maybe I'll give some money to Planned Parenthood too. November is going to be a little tight when it comes to money, so I'm going to wait a bit before I go too charity crazy.

Other than that... I'm okay. Things are fast around here. I'll see if I can sneak in an entertainment update sometime today. Should be able to do that.

*waves*

*ahem*

I have a present for you in Quicktime. (Here for those of you not Quicktime enabled.)

Or you can wait to see it in front of The Incredibles.

Real quick like... Entertainment

Appparently Jude Law is up for Zod. That would be neat. I think I need to rewatch Superman II beacuse... well... Yeah. I need to rewatch because I'm not sure.

There are lots of sequels trying to get off the ground that haven't and hopefully won't. Nothing new there, really. You can include things like another D&D movie and a sequel to The Day After Tomorrow.

Darren Aronofsky is officially off WATCHMEN as director, though they're still apparently moving forward with the whole thing. Aronofsky is doing The Fountain right now and Paramount won't wait for him because they want Watchmen to be their summer tentpole movie in 2006. Who the hell else would you trust this movie to? There are a lot of new horror movie directors who might be able to pull it out....

Taranatino says he wants to do an entirely subtitled movie next - to go wholey into Hong Kong cinema style. We'll see if it happens. He wants to do a lot of things.

The eligible movies for best animated movie this year are: Clifford's Really Big Movie, Disney's Teacher's Pet, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Home on the Range, The Incredibles, The Legend of Buddha, The Polar Express, Shrek 2, Shark Tale, Sky Blue and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Only three of them will qualify for the actual voting for the Academy Award.

Executive producer John Rogers has confirmed to FrequencySite.com the rumors that The WB has passed on the small screen adaptation of Warren Ellis' comic book series Global Frequency.

Catwoman screenwriter John Rogers is writing Transformers, the DreamWorks/Paramount live-action tentpole based on the popular Hasbro toys, reports Variety. Spielberg is apparently attached to be the executive producer. That looks like a large potential train wreck.

Constantine has been given an R rating. They're going back and reshooting. No one is sure if they're toning it down to try for a PG-13 or since they already have the R rating - kicking things up some to make full use of the rating.

"Dawn of the Dead" director Zack Snyder is adapting Frank Miller's 300. (EEEEEEEEEEE! So sweet!)
