Inevitable slow Christmas period movie news round-up

Afternoon all. I trust you all had tolerable festive seasons? I hope you didn't come here looking for movie news, because surprisingly, fuck all has been going on in the last week. Here's some junk I scraped together.

Mickey Rourke has been talking up his biopic of Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas, one of the few openly gay sportsman. Sounds kinda gay.
Natalie Portman is in for a busy 2011. She has rough sex with Mila Kunis in Black Swan, takes her pants off in Your Highness and now she'll be a cheating slut in The Other Woman. You'd think the whole pregnant thing would put me off, but... yeah, it kinda puts me off. I don't do baggage.

As if it wasn't already abundantly clear the Spider-Man musical, Turn Off The Dark, was an unmitigated fucking disaster, lead actress Natalie Mendoza has quit. "I could take the stunts and constant injuries," she didn't say, "But I couldn't sing Bono's dreadful lyrics any more."
In other 'Who the fuck is working Healthy & Safety here?' news, a stuntman on The Hangover II has ended up in a coma after a choreographed car crash went wrong. I blame Mel Gibson, somehow.
See if you can guess what the fad of 2010 was.


The cast of Harry Potter have finally finished the reshoots for the epilogue of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II. This kid, Benedict Clarke, is playing the young Severus Snape. Kids, you officially have permission to wedgie him back to the stone age for what he did.

According to highly reputable movie news source The Albuquerque Journal, the plot of The Avengers will see them battle twin alien forces: the Skrulls and the Kree. Shame; I was hoping they'd club together to fight the twin evils that are illiteracy and literring.
I always knew that Tim Allen was a wrong'un.


Leave it to Hugh Jackman to provide a perfect visual metaphor for England's awesome Ashes victory.


These new stills from My Idiot Brother shows exactly why Paul Rudd is so awesome. I hope he got the Christmas card I sent him. You know, the one with all my saliva and hair in it.




I can't figure out if this trailer for Falling Skies, the Steven Spielberg-produced alien invasion TV drama, is awful or awesome. I put this lack of judgement down to the fact that I don't really care.


PS. You look like shit.
