Thursday, May 7th, 2009

- And the next X-Men film goes to…. DEADPOOL! (aka Ryan Reynolds’ character in Wolverine)

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

- The Tony nominations came out today and… WTF?! Shrek the Musical got EIGHT nominations?!?

Cinco De Rein – Part 1

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

- So much for more X-Men Origins films… looks like it’s going to be more Wolverine films…

- Ha, ha, suck it Disney: “Jonas is Disney Channel’s lowest-rated live-action series premiere… since 2005’s Life with Derek”

- After all that hype, the new 49er’s uniforms are merely more of a throwback look for the team. I guess that’s not so bad – those old teams did win championships after all…

- Paula Abdul – the singer – is back with another attempt at a number one hit. I’m going to guess this one’s going to fall flat like that “new one” from ’07

Extra Slice – Video: NBC announced their 2009/2010 show pickups yesterday and the most promising seems to be Community, starring Joel McHale (from E!’s The Soup) and Chevy Chase)

Movie Date – Part 1

Monday, May 4th, 2009

- So much for the Internet leak causing viewers to stay away: Wolverine dominates box office (but can it beat Star Trek this coming weekend???)

- Why do the MTV Movie Awards always seem so dated? For example, nominees were announced today and they include The Dark Knight and Iron Man. I know they came out last summer but that was sooooo long ago

- Speaking of Iron Man, USA Today has a first look at the sequel (which is two say, one photo that reveals multiple Iron Man suits…)

- Spike can’t seem to stay away from the game he loves: Lee to document Kobe Bryant on a game day

Extra Slice – Video: As long as we’re on a movie kick this morning, enjoy the new trailer for the G.I. Joe movie. YO JOE!

- Speaking of free music, Wilco is offering a free download of The Jolly Banker, a Woody Guthrie song, and asking for donations to his charity

- Since two people have sent this to me (thanks Brian and Jason), I guess it’s “blog worthy”: Texts From Last Night, a website of late night texts you probably shouldn’t have sent
