(First Post Ever...let's hope it lasts)

News of the Day - It looks like the 4th Indiana Jones is going to finally begin production in the spring of 2007 for a summer 2008 release. I couldn't be more on the fence about this. There is one part of me that is just tickled pink that I get to watch another Indi movie, but then there is a part of me that remembers how deep in denial I had to get after I saw Episode I. Just trying to justify to all the haters (who were right) that the film was so worth the wait. Well, at least George is not directing it, and Steven is a huge believer in practical shooting, so the GFX will be at a minimum. Also, let's not forget that Harrison Ford is now 134 years old. Either way, the usual suspects are all back (Kennedy, Marshall, Williams), but the script is written by David Koepp who can be really hit or miss (best example, Jurassic Park - HIT, The Lost World - MISS).

TV - So the new FX show Dirt premiered last night, and I completely didn't care. In fact I chose to watch the Matt Damon Inside the Actor's Studio instead (Matt Damon in DA BOMB YO!...even if I can't say his name the proper way, ever since I saw Team America). I did DVR it, and will most likely watch it tonight. But honestly, I fucking hate Courtney Cox like I hate a crotch rash. I didn't watch much of Friends, but from what I saw...Cox was the least interesting. I have to give her credit though, she was in the most interesting horror film trilogy of all time...Scream. But when she got shot in the first one I stood up in a completely empty theater and cheered. Too bad the whore lived. Back to Dirt, I just can't buy her as an evil tabloid editor, to me she will always be the big haired girl from Family Ties and the one who did it multiple times with Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura.
