Next thing you know they'll want to vote...

Is metrosexual marriage valid in Ohio? Will all them gays getting married effect my hetrosexual marriage. Isn't our country based on a Judean-Christian government? Isn't the separation of church and state a little gay?

CONFIRMED: NO 5TH FOR BROSNAN

Oddly enough Eon productions opted out of their option with Pierce Brosnan to play James Bond for a fifth time. Citing that at 50 years old he "wasn't bringing in the kids".
Names bandied about as Brosnan's successor include Clive Owen, , Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman.
Personally I like Guy Pearce or maybe Colin Farrell.

You can sign a petition to support keeping Pierce Brosnan for a fifth Bond here.

Apparently old is bad because the WB is doing a new young Batman show as well.

Following suit is the Batman: Intimidation in pre-pro now and scheduled for 2005 release.

10 Minutes on a Saturday...

I finally watched Lost in Translation last night. Honestly my initial reaction was underwhelming. I like Bill Murray. I always have. I think he did a fantastic (although unappreciated) job in The Razor's Edge (Which LIT reminded me of in a weird way). I do find that I keep thinking about the movie. I suppose that says something. It was a nice break from the usual Hollywood fair. Visually it was really amazing. Easy on the eyes, fetching.

I also watched Once Upon a Time in Mexico. I've always respected Robert Rodriguez's way of making the movie industry look at itself. He shot this flick in five weeks and on high def video. I didn't know that until I started watching the special features on this DVD. It's really becoming apparent to me that things are changing in film. It's taking some of the elitism out of thefilmmaking process. I recognize the value of that I suppose.

I'm currently taking a screenwriting class at Mary's school. For the first time I've started to see that maybe I could direct this script we're writing. I've never wanted to direct before (although I’ve been directing animation the last four years for some reason I have yet to fathom ?) but the HD stuff makes filmmaking seem more like oil painting to me. It allows a creative flow that you don’t get with film. It’s immediate and textural in a way.

Just a lot of food for thought I guess. Or maybe I'm just a little loopy from my ongoing cold/flu or whatever the hell I've got lately.
