Disney Corporation has made another great stride in its endeavor to control all possible realms of consumer fantasy. With a buyout of $4 billion in cash and stocks, the great Mickey has bought the upstart Marvel Comics franchise, the famous comic book non-conformists who created such legendary neo-mythical figures as the Hulk, Spiderman, Iron Man, the X-Men and other such spandex-clad heroes of our childhood.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brasil (NovedadesGlossy) US opening weekend, the new Oliver Stone documentary grossed $21,545. Don’t let that low gross fool you; this film is highly gross. It’s grosser than naked pictures of Woody Allen.

The movie is Mr. Stone running around South America talking to politicians. Talk, talk, talk and it goes on for hours like that! Oh sure, there’s a little bit about some villages getting electricity, and that is a great thing. When I imagine those poor girls living in villages without blow driers, it about makes me cry. Don’t be thinking there’s much of that in ‘South of the Border’ though. It’s mostly ugly fat guys talking. Continue Reading

I’m not on the take or anything, I’m just a big fan of this unique film, and one who loves it quite a lot.

1 – Because, Statistically, You Haven’t Seen It Yet
Even though it’s breaking records left and right, only 70 million tickets have been sold worldwide. That’s barely 1/10th of a percent of all people. I know most people in my group of friends and family (you know, my calling circle) haven’t taken the time. It’s going to be in theaters for a while, but’s already been almost five-weeks, so if not now, then when? Continue Reading

10. Work with me, sleep with me – comedy rules.
9. Scandal schmandal, it’s fun to flirt.

7. Thought I could show Obama how to handle his nemesii Beck’n'Baugh. Continue Reading

Roman Polanski, acclaimed film director, holocaust survivor, and unfortunate lover of an underage girl was granted international amnesty by the United Nations Friday morning.

He did earn a massive pile of money, but it was more like a Kingly sum. Of course, if you’re a big fan of The Matrix Revolutions, you’re either imaginary or someone who hasn’t actually seen the film.
