That (formerly) erudite French newspaper Le Monde has apparently been debating the real meaning of Harry Potter.
I saw this on Mugglenet and found it amusing.
For those who wish to see the original French version, head over to Le Monde.
Comic Book Movies.. of the FUTURE!
I saw Spiderman 2 this week… In short? It was a good comic book movie but I really wanted to slap Peter Parker around. The non-action parts (and Kirsten Dunst) completely failed to pull me in. But the Spidey fans seem to like it.
Some comic-book news has surfaced: The first picture from Electra, featuring Jennifer Garner’s character from the flop Daredevil. There are also new pictures from Halle Berry’s Catwoman and Batman Begins – Christian Bale! Liam Neeson! Gary Oldman!.
And apparently Hayden Christensen is being considered for Daredevil 2. Run, Hayden – run FAR away. This is one used leather suit you don’t want to fill.
Free!
I totally forgot it’s Free Comic Book Day! Find a shop near you to pick up Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures and many other fine comics. Because it’s free.
TV Roundup
I have no love lost for Charmed, but do they really deserve six episodes of Mr. Jessica Simpson?
William Shatner might guest on Enterprise next year. Heavy on the might.
This is a tad old, but worth mentioning to round out our guest star trio: Smallville is looking for a Lois Lane.
Be obsessive! On TV!
VH1 is looking for people with large collections of pop-culture stuff. I think we may know a few individuals who fit the bill.
Taking the Long Way Round
Considering that Episode 3 still has some additional shooting, many people were more than a little nervous that Ewan McGregor had decided to take a trip around the world on his bike.
Good news. He’s still alive. And there’s a website tracking their progress in the build-up to the upcoming television show and book.
Kinda makes you want to hit the road, yourself. If only there wasn’t that lack of hotels….
‘zilla Smash!
Would you spend $800 dollars to own (almost) every Japanese Godzilla movie ever made?
And hey, if nothing else, you can use the box to destroy Tokyo.
It’s Star Wars Fan Film Time Again
In what is fast becoming a tradition, the 2004 Star Wars Fan Film Awards are coming up again. This year’s finalists have been announced.
You can help to pick the Audience Choice Award by watching and voting on Atom Films.
As with every year so far, there are some really clever entries. So remember to vote early and vote often!
Hobbit Buddy Movie?
It appears that those Hobbits still can’t stay away from each other. Billy Boyd (Pippin) and Dominc Monahan (Merry) have come up with an idea for a buddy movie where they play two “befuddled” Englishmen traveling through the United States.
They’re still looking for money. Anybody have any?
Droid Honors
C-3PO is one of the new inductees to the Robot Hall of Fame. He joins his counterpart R2-D2 and several other famous robots.
