Universal president admits to making shitty movies & hopes for new direction

Last year the president & CCO of Universal Pictures, Ron Meyer, admitted to his company making shitty movies. Meyer has now come out and clarified what he meant by shitty movies, after citing movies like Cowboys & Aliens and Land of the Lost:

"we make some good movies and some shitty movies. Nobody ever sets out to make a shitty movie.”

 Along with the clarification, Meyer has also expressed his interest in making a sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman (despite still having two months until it is released) and making more Dr. Seuss movies including a new animated version of The Cat in the Hat. He also is not a fan of 3D so that gives me some hope.

Personally, I would be down for a new version of The Cat in the Hat. The one with Jim Carrey was such a piece of shit. As far as other Dr. Seuss stories go they have already done The Lorax, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (another shitty Carrey flick) and Horton Hears a Who, so I don't know what they might think of after The Cat in the Hat. Maybe an adaptation of Gerald McBoing Boing?

Saw at Sea... I am fucking loling.

Yes. I am "at it" again. However, I am trying to help you guys. Don't go on this cruise. Find something better to spend your money on. If you have bought a package already, get the refund before it is too late. If you haven't bought yet, don't waste your time. Just remember this...

"Raybin Management, LLC and Boca Raton Travel & Cruises reserve the right to deny admission to any person (s) of our choos-ing from taking part in any and/or all “SAW at SEA” Cruise activities."

That could be you for any or no reason. 

This is amazing. Props to my friend Kiley for sending me this

Titanic 3D - Review

I am not reviewing the movie. It is Titanic. We have all seen it. If you haven't seen it, crawl out from the rock you have been living under and read a plot synopsis... or go see it. Either one.

I want to talk about the 3D. I am not a fan of 3D but I must admit that this is one of the best 3D features I have seen, especially for a post-converted film. James Cameron really knows his stuff. The scenes where the ship is sinking looked fantastic. I was really pleased.
I also want to mention how incredible the sound remaster was. The sound effects and overall sound design was great. My ears were in a very happy place.

I would say if you are a Titanic fan to go ahead and see this one in 3D while it's still in theaters. It's one of those movies that is meant to be watched in a theater. Watching it at home just isn't the same.

X-Men: First Class sequel pushed to January 2013

Due to scheduling conflicts with the upcoming "it" girl Jennifer Lawrence, filming of the sequel to X-Men: First Class has been pushed to January 2013 as she will be filming the sequel to The Hunger Games this fall. Lawrence is reprising her role as Mystique in the X-Men film and is also reprising the role of Katniss Everdeen in Catching Fire. After much speculation it was also confirmed that Matthew Vaughn will return to direct the X-Men sequel.

Along with filming approaching for both of these films she is also busy with promo for The Hunger Games along with upcoming promo for a new film, The House at the End of the Street. Jennifer Lawrence is indeed a busy gal.

Gary Ross drops out of Catching Fire

This move I don't really understand, especially after the tremendous success of The Hunger Games. I just hope they get someone who knows what the fuck they are doing for both Catching Fire and Mockingjay.

RIP Kurt Cobain

18 years of mourning and it still isn't enough.

Rest in peace, Kurt. Thank you so much for what you gave the world while you were here.

Captain America 2 set for April 2014

The sequel to last year's film Captain America: The First Avenger has an official release date, as of right now. It is set to be released on April 4, 2014 and will take place after the events of this year's film, The Avengers. There is no plot yet but apparently...

"Steve Rogers continues his affiliation with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D and struggles to embrace his role in the modern world."

I liked Captain America so I am pretty excited. I can't wait for The Avengers next month.

Wiig, Sudeikis, and Samberg to leave SNL?

Is has been said that Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, and Andy Samberg will be leaving Saturday Night Live after this season is over.

If this is true then SNL will be hurting for a long time. The only reasons I tune into SNL from time to time is to see the Digital Short segments and to see the skits Kristen Wiig does (Gilly, Target Lady, etc.). I don't really care about Sudeikis leaving, but Wiig and Samberg... man, that's a huge blow.

Universal to "reboot" The Mummy... what the fuck?

Yes, you read the title correctly. Universal is in the planning stages of a reboot of The Mummy. The story was last revisited when Stephen Sommers made the 1999 film with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. A film that is, without embarrassment, one of my favorite movies.

Do I think this is ridiculous? Yes. Especially with the fact that the last Mummy movie, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, was only released not even 4 years ago. It's just more proof that Hollywood has absolutely no new ideas whatsoever. As if we didn't know that already.

Fan made poster for Carrie... it's pretty awesome

A fan made poster for the upcoming Carrie reboot, which will star Chloe Moretz, has already surfaced. I have to admit, for a fan made poster this is pretty awesome. I think it would be cool to do something like this for a teaser poster.

So what's the verdict for you? Cool ot not cool?

The Hunger Games - the forum

My friend Cameron just started up a forum for The Hunger Games. I'm already there and posting. Come join us and bring a friend! And if you spam I will personally cuss you out. Just fyi.

Fun Fact: Cameron's girlfriend was an extra in the movie.

Dumb & Dumber sequel confirmed

By confirmed I mean "moving along." Both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are returning and it apparently starts filming this fall.

I don't know what to say about this one. I am genuinely speechless, haha.

Not an April Fools joke... sadly, haha.

I was on my Facebook and noticed one of my friends had sent me this bit of fine print about the upcoming Saw at Sea cruise:

"Autographs/Autograph Tickets of the “SAW” stars are not included in any Cruise package. They can be purchased onboard.
Raybin Management, LLC and Boca Raton Travel & Cruises reserve the right to deny admission to any person (s) of our choosing
from taking part in any and/or all “SAW at SEA” Cruise activities."

In case you didn't know, I kind of made an enemy out of Raybin Management after the 2011 Texas Frightmare Weekend. Here is my video in regards to the whole weekend, and in regards to Raybin Management: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU8RQ039hX0

Why am I mentioning this? I bet you anything they included that clause specifically to stick it to both myself and a few others from HOJ that completely trashed Raybin Management after TFW '11. The funniest part about this is I bet he would still let anyone he would ban from the events buy a cruise package. It is such cheap shit, lol. I'm tempted to send him an email asking if I am one who would be banned.

He is such an asshole, haha. He fails to notice that we think, and have thought, this is funny.
If you are a Saw fan, don't go on the cruise. He has the lowest rate actors from the franchise as guests, the events are stupid, it's overpriced, and you go from New York City to Nova Scotia, Canada... seriously, who gives a rat's ass?
