Kung Fu Panda Sequel
Kung Fu Panda was the first non-Pixar computer animated film that I really enjoyed. When I saw the film a few months back, I said to one of my friends “This is gonna be huge, lets hope they don’t f**k it up by making a sequel.” Well guess what… A story crew has already begun early work on a Sequel, according to a posting on the TAG Blog. The original film has garnered great reviews across the board and made over $229.7 million worldwide in its first 19 days of release.
New ‘Eagle Eye’ Trailer!
The new trailer for upcoming Shia LaBeouf lead, Steven Spielberg produced, super thriller Eagle Eye sheds some new light on the plotline and gives a LOT more than the teaser (which is why it was a teaser, I guess!).
I’m actually REALLY excited about this movie! Shia may not have the best reputation as a person, but I really like him as an actor. Plus, with Spielberg running the show, what have we got to lose?
How well do you know the work of Troy McClure?
Are you familiar with the works of actor Troy McClure? You might know him from Locker Room Towel Fight: The Blinding of Larry Driscoll. But as the IMDb notes, he has had quite a long career.
Mental Floss has a new quiz up at their site, Troy McClure Film or Actual Terrible Movie? It contains 15 questions about the work of McClure (voiced on The Simpsons, of course, by Phil Hartman - the character was retired when Hartman passed away). They give you a film title and you have to guess whether it’s a fake Troy McClure film from an episode of The Simpsons or an actual film that somehow got made (note: just pick a film and the site automatically goes to the next question). I got 10 out of 15, but I think that was more because of my knowledge of bad films than specific episodes of The Simpsons.
Some of the titles of these movies and TV shows are priceless (don’t worry, these aren’t on the quiz): David vs. Super Goliath, Calling All Quakers, Lead Paint: Delicious But Deadly, Smoke Yourself Thin, Pepsi Presents: Fractions. I also like the telethon Let’s Save Tony Orlando’s House (today he would be hosting a special for Ed McMahon).
Spoiler Alert: Michaela McManus Joins SVU
Well, here’s a fun riddle for you savvy mathematicians:
The lovely Michaela McManus (One Tree Hill’s Lindsey and former receptionist at our E! building gym) has just been cast as a series regular on Law & Order SVU, playing the new assistant district attorney.
Meanwhile, you may remember that Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) called up and proposed to someone in the latest OTH season finale—either Lindsey or Peyton or Brooke.
What does this all add up to? The OTH writers crying in a corner somewhere.
At least, that’s my guess, since not only is the loss of Michaela a, well, loss, but this casting news sure seems to point to a Lucas/Peyton or Lucas/Brooke pairing—or at the very least, a not-so-bright future for Lucas and Lindsey.
In the meantime, what do you think of Michaela’s new gig? SVU is lucky, no? And more importantly, the money Q: Whom will Lucas choose? Comment below!
