Week in Review: Indy, McCain, Clinton, Kennedy and Cannes

What a week it was as the recap returns

My apologies for no wrap-up from last week, but a bit of a sinus infection attacked me and I wasn’t feeling too good and sinus headaches aren’t exactly compatible with staring at computer screens. However, if you are a sinus sufferer as I am I cannot recommend the NeilMed Sinus Rinse any higher. If you have sinus problems this bad boy will become your best friend… Now, on to the week in review…

As far as movies are concerned there is really only one topic Indiana Jones. Did you see the goodies we delivered for this little flick?

Outside of that, the trailer for David Fincher’s next movie is online and thankfully it’s in Spanish! The new Terminator movie is filming and here’s some art, Spike Lee gets mad at Clint’s WWII films and we finally see what M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening will really offer us with two red-band trailers.

Speaking of Spike Lee, check out this stupid quote:

“Look, I love the Coen brothers; we all studied at NYU. But they treat life like a joke. Ha ha ha. A joke. It’s like, ‘Look how they killed that guy! Look how blood squirts out the side of his head!’ I see things different than that.”

As much as I like Spike, he really does need to chill out a bit. [link]

Oh, also, David had a little visit to the set of Jennifer’s Body and gives us this great teaser article.

The Cannes Film Festival seemed to be a little bit of a disappointment. However, Quentin Tarantino’s Masterclass seems like it was a lot of fun.

In the world of real news John McCain’s medical reports are out and the verdict is in… He’s old. Then we get Hillary Clinton sticking her foot deep into her mouth just before the Memorial Day holiday, something I am sure she was looking forward to. Too bad the words she used gives folks ammo to compare her words to insinuating that she may be staying in the race until Obama is assassinated. We all know her comments relating to Bobby Kennedy’s assassination didn’t have anything to do with that, but this may be the final thread breaking. Here’s the original comment and here is her apology, is it just me or does she look like this entire campaign is finally wearing on her?

Will oil prices start going down? I recently paid almost $4/gallon and someone just called me to tell me they paid $4.25 for Regular. Dizzam!

Moving on to the Idiot File we find a group in Santa Fe claims the city is discriminating against them because they “allergic to the wireless Internet signal. And now they want Wi-Fi banned from public buildings.” Nice!

Finally, if you haven’t read my review of “Recount” read it now and then watch it on HBO this Sunday and again on Monday. You won’t regret it.
