Four of Them

Madonna making her second directorial debut, called W.E.! A biopic about Wallis Simpson! That means crazy middle ages sex-scenes, in the legacy of The Tudors, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, and all that other shit!

Also, she's going to be on some TV thing called the Marriage Ref! I will not be watching, because I think Madonna's creepy!

In weird-ass remake news, Martin Scorsesse and Lars von Trier to remake Taxi Driver...starring Robert de Niro!?!

Kathryn Bigelow to direct a light-hearted-drama HBO TV pilot!

Valentine's Day tops weekend box office!

Michael Haneke abandons Ces Deux, citing seeing a similar Canadian movie about the humiliation and physical deteriotion of the aged! Which could mean Away From Her! But, wait, there's more! He is, instead, going to do a movie about our own interwebs!

(Dude, today's turning out to be fucking weird...)

Treasure Island getting a face lift! What have you done, Sherlock Holmes!?!

Get Him to the Greek has a trailer! Meh!

Best Little Whorehouse remake! I don't know either!

Has anybody read Book Nine of The Odysessy!?! If so, why does Odysseus call himself Nohbdy, how do he and his men sneak out of the Cyclops' cave, and what foolish thing does Odysseus do thereafter!?! Come on, people, help a lazy person out!

Greetings and Salutations, I'm off to watch Bonnie and Clyde!

Here are movies I demand you educate yourself on before I come back (and bring friends!)







Books:

LUNAR PARK by Bret Easton Ellis



The best, scariest, meta-ist, funniest book I've ever read. It helps to be at least a little aware of his other books (American Psycho, Rules of Attraction, Less Than Zero)


THE EYRE AFFAIR



since I'm pretty sure anyone reading this is directly trafficked from Sister's blog, you should appreciate this. Among other awesomeness in an alternate 198something, characters from books can be kidnapped from the original manuscripts, which will change ever copy in print to fit it. Remember Mr. Quaverly from Martin Chuzzlewit? I didn't think so.

THE LIAR by Stephen Fry



I'm talking about them in some time. Off to midterms, which I will fail.
