“True Story”, my eye

NOTE: Expect Hutch to make another post on this subject within the next half hour

The trailer for the new Viggo Mortensen film Hidalgo that I’ve been seeing for what seems like a year now (rarely a good sign, incidentally) was sufficiently rousing and might have even gotten me to see the movie.

Unfortunately, not only does it look like the movie is pretty bad, but it seems as if the Frank Hopkins individual the film is based on is the Old West’s equivalent of Michael Moore.

So even if “Aragorn Skywalker’s 2-Hour Podrace” does turn out to be a decent flick, I myself have little interest in seeing a prolific liar’s lies be glorified on the big screen.

George Lucas gets with it

tvguide.com has the news that FINALLY:

The original Star Wars trilogy will at last debut on DVD Sept. 21. The four-disc box set will feature the rereleased special editions of all three films – not the original theatrical versions. Also included: a new documentary about the making of the films and never-seen footage.

Star Wars, original trilogy, on DVD. Party Time.

Well now, that wasn’t so hard, was it, Mr. Lucas?

Of course, it’s the “Special Editions”, not the original theatrical cuts, being released. Even speaking as a sometime-defender of the SEs, I have to wonder exactly HOW hard it would have been for Flannel the Hutt to release both versions.

If the Alien “Quadrilogy” can have two different cuts for each movie, yer darn tootin’ that Star Wars could. Sigh… just don’t add anything else, okay?

Beyonce Knowles wants to be Lois Lane

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It’s here.

She wants people to pray specifically for that fortune. I don’t believe it works that way.

The Superman Homepage begs you to pray it doesn’t happen.

I don’t believe it works that way, either. Thanks to them for the link.
