A bomb threat at MGM? Did the Weinstein's have anything to do with it?
Speaking of Weinstein, there are some 11-year-old Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino taped phone calls up at Defamer that don't paint Robert De Niro in a flattering light at least not from the opinion of those in the conversation. At one point Tarantino says, "Tell Bob not to call me yelling and screaming . . . I don't know if I'm going to be nice [if] the guy calls up yelling and screaming at me like a maniac, calling me a [bleep]er!"
IESB is detailing some footage they recently saw of The Surrogates and Prince of Persia.

Spike Lee never said he would be directing Red Tails, he said that Anthony Hemingway would be.
Good catch, worked through this a little fast apparently.
Brad I always respect your opinion and I was wondering what do you think about this thread from an awardsdaily forum. It's only three pages and it won't take you long to read it.
About Johnny Depp and these new flicks.

I agree with the person that said, "This thread has nothing to do with Johnny Depp being involved in a Disney flick, just another common hater thread to bash and insult an actor which derived from personal bias and hatred against his personal gain as a movie star."
It's a very hypocritical thread. People have a right to be dissatisfied by Depp taking on roles they wish he had passed on, but to call him a whore for doing it is a bit silly. I am tired of Depp and Burton teaming together, but that doesn't mean I won't enjoy the next film they make together.
What do you think?
Johnny is one of my favorite actors and like Denzel I have been dissapointed with the projects he's been choosing. I do think it is a bit silly to call him a sell out and I agree with the poster that said maybe he's doing it for his children. But I do wish he'd do something that you wouldn't expect him to do. I am excited about Public Enemies though. I also sort of think that if he did pick projects like Leo or Brad they'd say he was oscar whoring. I guess the fact that some of them were fans and now have no respect for him sort of blew me. Like, really, why am I only dissapointed and not outraged?
Ugh I meant disappointed, I always do that.lol
Strangely enough, I think before Pirates of the Caribbean I think you would have said all of these films would have been unexpected. Don'tcha think?
hmm I never really thought of it that way. I guess you're right of course with the exception of Alice with Burton.
I think Clooney would make a great Lone Ranger to Depp's Tonto!
