Terminator Tweets That He Is, Indeed, Back

Modern renaissance cyborg Arnold Schwarzenegger has adorably tweeted to his fans that the whole Kennedy thang was fun but he'd like to try for that Oscar again.

"Exciting news," he twitted. "My friends at CAA have been asking me for 7 years when they can take offers seriously. Gave them the green light today," he twatted.

During his governorship, he restricted himself to cameo roles, such appearing alongside Jackie Chan in the modern re-make Around the World in 80 Days, which is best described as an indescribably bad picture.

Some say Arnold added camp value to "80 Days," others didn't see it

Mersus Strist Resurrects Romantic-Comedy-For-The-Nearly-Dead Genre, Walks On Wine & Turns Piss Into Vinegar

After spending the last decade resurrecting her career from the bloody crucifixion-by-dingo that was the '90s, Mersus Strist has brought the middle-age-rom-com back to life in the 2010s by signing on to "Great Hope Springs." The comedy, to be directed by Strist disciple (and the source behind the "Devil Wears Prada" Revelations) David Frankel, centers around a middle aged couple who have trouble touching each other intimately, and go to a therapist about it.




Coconut Milk, Amen.

Warner Brothers Births a Star, Bleeds to Death

Why? Why, God, why does the new remake of A Star is Born have to star Beyonce? What is even the point? I want to cry. You have Clint Eastwood, ready to do his thing, not going gently into that good night, and you hand him Beyonce?

I understand the new plot involves the music industry. Fine. That's fine. Awesome. It's a musical.  A musical about a fading artist and a young star, one goes up and the other goes down, lots of fun, lots of crying, lots of smashing of bottles of alcohol, lots of Oscar bait.  But why Beyonce? Why not....


Or...


Really, Superheroes Were Always a British Thing

Ok, ladies and gents, I'm not going to try that hard to pretend that I actually care about things like the casting of the next batch of sure-to-be mediocre comic book adaptations. (And really, what's more offensive than being mediocre? Not much. I'm looking at you, Katherine Heigl.)

But THIS excites me. Mildly. He's British, he's gorgeous, he makes that chin cleft work, and more importantly, he gave me very special feelings in a little gem of a film from 2003 called "I Capture the Castle." You know, the one that also stars that annoying girl from the terrible (save for Diego Luna) sequel to "Dirty Dancing."



Kudos, Hollywood. That's mostly sincere.

Tweet Tweet Twitter Twatter: Robin Williams is New Batman Villain?

There is this Tweeter-entity who is obsessed, we mean OBSESSED with Batman movies, and this Tweeter-entity did a tweet thingy about Robin Williams playing "Dr. Hugo Strange" (not that we're quite sure who that is, but that's not the point). And this information is viewed as legitimate, even though it's just a twit. A tweet. Just a tweet.

Anyway, ZOMG! Robin Williams and Anne Hathaway almost make up for how annoying Christian Bale can be!
Robin Williams is known for dividing critics, audiences, and his personality

Dames! Dames! Dames!

*BREAKING NEWS* it has been CONFIRMED that DAME JUDI DENCH is IN as M for Bond 23.  She joins, obviously, Daniel Craig as "Bond" and Sam Mendes as "Director" and other people probably but none of that really matters now, does it?


Trivia Tidbit: Judi's only child is an actress named "Finty Williams," known mostly for children's audio books and her fabulous mother.

The Power of Three

The Holy Trinity have teamed up for a new film, penned by Sex and the City scribe Michael Patrick King, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the home shopping network.  Who you ask?

After the jump.
