The Day’s News 7/9/14
So. You’ve probably noticed that the blog has been a bit sparse of late, owing to me doing more news-item posts for The Escapist than for here.
Starting today, I’m going to try and change that by doing (when possible) daily summary-posts of news I’ve reported there – please, feel free to comment and chat about them. Note: there will be some “older” stories on this once, since it’s the first:
First Promo Image of Superman From DAWN OF JUSTICE
Opie & Anthony’s Anthony Cumia Fired For Racist Rant
Brandon Routh Will Play The Atom on ARROW
TRANSFORMERS Writer to Script Disney’s Live-Action DUMBO
Christian Bale is Moses in Ridley Scott’s EXODUS: GODS & KINGS
Greenpeace Viral Vid Spoofs THE LEGO MOVIE Over Shell Oil Partnership
BIG PICTURE: The Fall of Kevin Smith – Part I
Oh, and I was also on a PODCAST you should listen to:
Escape to The Movies: EARTH TO ECHO
Real Evil.
Addendum to Tuesday’s show: You think Michael Bay is evil? You think TRANSFORMERS movies are civilization on the brink? No. On balance, Michael Bay is harmless. You want to see evil onscreen? Rick Santorum is making movies now:
You want to talk about evil? A feature-length propaganda movie celebrating a culture’s slide back into dark ages barbarism is evil. Agitating AGAINST the improvement and progress of a society via the lessening of the influence of superstition and pointless “moral” self-denial/self-hatred is evil. Advocating for ignorance is evil.
There are two kinds of people in the world. Thinkers and Believers.
Big Picture: LEAVE MICHAEL BAY ALONE
Escape to The Movies: TRANSFORMERS – AGE OF EXTINCTION
It is what it is. This time, I liked it.
Also: STILL more Transformers!
Big Picture: NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY
Yet more TRANSFORMERS, because it’s that time of every other Summer…
Podcast!
Am I on a Podcast again? I am!
Also, some TRANSFORMERS because it’s that kind of week.
