Brett Ratner is rumored to have been offered the gig directing the remake of "Conan". In related news, he's eternally grateful for those classes he took in mind control. How else would you explain the fact that studios seem to think he's a good director?
Apparently, the Kevin Costner flick "The New Daughter" is going to be an R rated monster movie. Now that's a sentence you don't read every day.
HBO has picked up "True Blood" for a second season after only 2 episodes. For my part, I'll continue to be glad I canceled the channel while reading Shelton's weekly reviews of the series.
New poster for "Repo: A Genetic Opera". The quality of the movie remains to be seen, but I'll be damned if the artwork for this campaign hasn't tickled me in all the right places.
Among a list of 4 young no-names being added to the cast of "The House on Sorority Row" remake, is one of interest; Carrie Fisher. Yup, Princess Leia has joined the cast of the remake, to play the house mother whose death and subsequent cover-up drives the events of the film (assuming at that it's faithful to the original).

Try to stay with me on this one. Rat brain tissue which was grown in a lab, was then put into a robot body complete with wheels, and is now capable of driving itself around the lab. Tell me that isn't the most terrifying thing you've read all week. And while I'm at the subject, does this mean we're one step closer to creating Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? If so, we might want to rethink this research. That guy was a dick.
Karl Rove says McCain ads have gone too far. Mind you, this is from the man who had people call southern voters in 2000 to tell them that McCain has an illegitimate black baby. Um... ya.
1932: 24-year-old starlet Peg Entwhistle dives head first from the letter "H" of the HOLLYWOODLAND sign in Los Angeles. She is the first person to commit suicide at the landmark.
