Poor Taste at Emmy's??

People are pissed off at Conan O'Brien's opening skit to last night's Emmy Awards.

The Emmy Awards began on an awkward note on the day of the deadliest American airlines flight in five years, which killed 49 in Kentucky. Host Conan O’Brien’s opening skit found the host visiting the sets of several highly rated shows, including 24, House and Lost.The prerecorded opening skit began with O’Brien boarding a private plane to Los Angeles. Asked by a stewardess if he was nervous about hosting the show, O’Brien answered “Nervous? What could possibly go wrong?” The plane then crashed, with O’Brien later washing up on the set of Lost.

Los Angeles Times television columnist Scott Collins called the scene “cringe-inducing” and “of questionable taste.” Tim Gilbert, general manager of NBC’s Lexington, Ky., affiliate, WLEX, said he plans to ask NBC for an apology.“We wish somebody had thought this through,” Gilbert told the Associated Press. “It’s somewhere between ignorance and incompetence.”

Hmmmm.... are people way too sensitive or what.... I thought everyone would be more offended by the South Park bit stating Tom Cruise is gay. Or maybe everyone already knows that as fact.

Megatron is not a Gun!!

Yep.... that's right, not a gun... not even a tank which would have at least made some sense. Nup.... let's make him an alien jet instead. Hmmm, there was already a heap of judgement out their with Optimus Prime having a flame paintjob. Watch the fanboys spit over this latest turn of events.

My only comment.... they could of at least made him look like a Transformer.......

Pluto's Been Demoted

Pluto is a dwarf planet in the solar system, according to the recent International Astronomical Union's (IAU) redefinition of planet. Pluto was until recently considered the ninth full planet from the Sun, and could be again reclassified (within the classification of dwarf planets) as the prototype of a yet-to-be-named family of trans-Neptunian objects.

Basically.... it doesn't follow the rules and crosses Neptune's orbit, so for being a very bad boy, it's been booted outta the Solar System. Naughty naughty, very naughty.....

The Dark Knight

Chris Nolan has finally spoken publicly about the upcoming film, The Dark Knight. Via betterthanfudge.com, here’s a bit of what the director had to say:

Regarding the theme of the film: “I suppose in loose terms I can say it’s about things having to get worse before they get better.”

Can anything be inferred from the title of the film? “Ultimately yes. But I’ll leave that for people to infer The title has been chosen very specifically. It’s quite important to the film.”

Will The Joker be different that past live-action interpretations? “Yes. I would certainly point to The Killing Joke but I also would point very much to the first two appearances of The Joker in the comic. If you look at where The Joker comes from there’s a very clear direction that fits what we’re doing very well.”

The new Batman movie is due out in 2008

Cruise Got His Ass Fired!!

Citing Tom Cruise’s increasingly strange behavior, Sumner Redstone - the Chairman of Viacom, which owns Paramount Pictures - said that Paramount was ending its 14 year relationship with Cruise. Paramount will no longer be the home of Cruise-Wagner Productions, the company Cruise founded with his manager that produced the three "Mission: Impossible" movies, "Without Limits", "Shattered Glass" and "The Last Samurai", among others. The final straw is thought to have come after "Mission Impossible III" performed beneath expectations at the box office. Many feel Cruises strange behavior and unorthodox beliefs were to blame. Redstone said:

“As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal. His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount.”

I know everyone is gonna blame scientology for his insanity except Tom, but Tom better hope scientology is to blame. Otherwise he’s just a damn lunatic.

Stephen Dorff's Cock

This is from one of his upcoming films.... apparently they did three takes... floppy, semi and hard. They decided to use the "semi" take for the film. Pity the chick ruins the shot tho.
