More stuff and things...

When it comes, it comes all at once.

Deadline Hollywood's Nikki Finke says that Marvel and Favreau have kissed and made up for Iron Man 2. No word yet if this will change the release date as that seemed that it would have been the case....

Especially since Robert Downey Jr. has like four projects between now and then. Not the least of which is that he's just been signed to play Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie's new movie. Which... should be interesting. More RDJ, the better, I think. (This is the serious one not the Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrel one, btw.)

Entertainment Weekly says that Courteney Cox is joining the cast of Scrubs. Hrmm.

Quentin Tarrantino's WWII movie looks like fun - http://bigpicture.fancast.com/2008/07/quentin_tarantinos_inglorious.html

Hulk director Louis Leterrier was asked about a whole bunch of possible future projects. Interestingly his answer on Superman 2 was "Funny that you mentioned Superman... because, hum, maybe they asked me..."

Your first Max Payne trailer is here: http://www.latinoreview.com/news/max-payne-trailer-4980

Heroes junkies, there are a lot of Season 3 spoilers out there. So either watch out or go and seek, depending on your take. (I'd start here if you want to look: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a109468/heroes-season-three-scoopage.html).

Also, flusterbunny has already seen The Dark Knight. I envy him having seen it. I don't envy him having to wait a week and change to talk to anyone about it in depth.

From The Telegraph: "George Bush surprised world leaders with a joke about his poor record on the environment as he left the G8 summit in Japan.

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Mr Bush, whose second and final term as President ends at the end of the year, then left the meeting at the Windsor Hotel in Hokkaido where the leaders of the world's richest nations had been discussing new targets to cut carbon emissions.

One official who witnessed the extraordinary scene said afterwards: "Everyone was very surprised that he was making a joke about America's record on pollution."

Mr Bush also faced criticism at the summit after Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, was described in the White House press pack given to journalists as one of the "most controversial leaders in the history of a country known for government corruption and vice".

The White House apologised for what it called "sloppy work" and said an official had simply lifted the characterisation from the internet without reading it.

Concluding the three-day event, leaders from the G8 and developing countries proclaimed a "shared vision" on climate change. However, they failed to bridge differences between rich and emerging nations on curbing emissions."
