Time To Waste A Little Time

Welcome to the show folks...

Not much in the way of big news to blog about today, so I'll do some little stupid things:

1. Pop singer Rihanna has been signed to star in Universal's movie version of the board game Battleship. She'll be playing a crusty sea captain serving under an even crustier Rear Admiral played by Justin Bieber.

2. Daniel Craig has been signed to star in the American version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Putting him in the title role struck me as a little odd, but I guess that just makes me old fashioned.

3. Oliver Stone has apologized for claiming that a "Jewish dominated media" hadn't been portraying Adolph Hitler "in context." What's this world coming too when Oliver Stone can't stand by his nutty anti-Semitic beliefs.

3a. In a related story, Oliver Stone has started development on a remake of Fiddler On The Roof, with Mel Gibson as Tevye.

4. Carl Icahn has filed a lawsuit against Lionsgate over its management stock dilution scheme. This story is immediately filed under "W" for "Well D'uh!"

5. The US Government is investing money in developing an "anti-sex" video game. Someone should have told them that playing any video game too much does a lot to prevent the player from having sex all on its own.

That's all for now folks. Hopefully something interesting will pop up.

    If they were looking to cast a girl as a rear admiral they should have gone with J Lo.
