Note to self…

There will be no beating Team Talent if my kickass script does not get finished.
Must. work. on. script.
Must. beat. Team. Talent.
Victory will be mine. I will sell my script before she does. I will laugh about it.  Tripe will trump talent.

Skinny guys are funny too

It was announced that Kevin James is set to star in the new comedy “Mall Cop.” I am not a Kevin James fan. I do not think the man is funny. But there seems to be some unwritten rule in Hollywood that fat guys = funny. Skinny guys can be funny too. How come no […]

Jessica Biel is not Wonder Woman

According to Cinematical, Jessica Biel will play Wonder Woman in the new Justice League movie. That is so many shades of wrong. Not only is Jessical Biel not Wonder Woman material, but she is not Wonder Woman material.
