    So, they're making a Tucker Max movie. For some reason.


    Herm.
    Yeah, out in a month.

    I saw the preview. It's one of the worst previews I've ever seen.

    I don't get it. It's like the most ridiculous case of self-aggrandizement I've ever seen. I mean, at first it was just a blog, and he was just some "dude, I totally fucked that chick, yo" blogger. But - but, he has a book, now. And - and a movie!

    It boggles the mind.

    Yeah, a friend of mine kept pestering me to read I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell and told me that it's totally my kind of thing and that I would love it.

    So I read it. Got about two chapters before I said, "This is some misogynistic unfunny Dane Cook shit. Fuck you for this," and punched my friend in the face.

    Pfft. Anyone who didn't enjoy the book was obviously a woman. And fat. Or something.

    Steven Spielberg may be resurrecting the "Halo" movie.

    Shia LaBoeuf also notes that Spielberg has been playing "BioShock" like mad lately.

    You're a good man, 8. I'm not sure we point that out enough.

    So, I take it you're not going to see the adaptation when it hits theaters?

    As number8 posted in the BSG thread in the TV forum (don't blame you for not looking, meg).

    One of the many casualties of Sept. 11, 2001 was the Tom De Santo/Bryan Singer version of "Battlestar Galactica," designed as a sequel to the '70s show, which was less than three months from shooting when the attacks on America happened. Since the Cylon sneak attack was a big part of the $14 million backdoor pilot they were about to shoot, Sci-Fi got very nervous about the film, and everything fell apart.

    In the time since, obviously, Ron Moore and David Eick and the entire amazing creative team who did bring "Battlestar Galactica" back to television managed to not only get a new show on the air, but they've completed their run and they're gearing up on a spinoff series, "Caprica." Despite the amount of critical love that was displayed for the show during its run, I wouldn't call Moore's "Galactica" a phenomenon. It was more like a very enthusiastic and vocal cult audience. As a result, Universal seems to feel that there's more life in the property, and that there is room for another interpretation.

    That's why they're nearing a deal with Bryan Singer to produce and possibly direct a brand-new "Battlestar Galactica" feature film.
    Apparently, Singer's team has something they want to do with BSG. I'm all for it. Sure, it's hard for me to imagine bothering with an Olmos-, McDonnell-, or Callis-less BSG, but what the hell. Can't blame Singer for wanting to get his vision out there. And considering what he did with Superman, I'd be happy to see it come to pass.

    Considering what he's written, I wouldn't be surprised if this was Singer's return into the X-Men. But we shall see.

    But I wonder who'll be the villains...

    Is anyone else excited for Dorian Gray? I'm a big fan of the book, I think Ben Barnes is gorgeous, and Oliver Parker did a good job with Othello and An Ideal Husband even if he completely destroyed the undestroyable The Importance of Being Earnest.

    And I'm kinda feeling this poster.

    Of course.

    OF COURSE I just got a request to interview Tucker Max. Of course I did.

    I have half a mind to say yes just to punch the fucker in the crotch.

    Say yes, and you will win my utter appreciation if you tell him what a douchebag he is, after all is said and done. And, take pictures.

    I will bake you cookies and mail them to you if you do this.

    Photo evidence is required, and you can request the kind of cookie. Although I'd really recommend chocolate shortbread.

    He's been called a douche many a times in interviews, and it's simply pointing out the obvious, something Tucker is well aware of.

    8 should do what he says and change it up a bit.

    If you look him up, you're just going to get annoyed. Stay pure.
