- Is it just me, or is Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisholm the normal one out of all the Spice Girls now? I mean, Posh is two steps away from being a praying mantis hocking Xenu, Scary is getting into a paternity fight with Eddie Murphy and the tales of Baby Spice's love affair emerging recently and Ginger's problems are generally well-known. So why am I saying Sporty is the normal one? Simple; she's the one who really didn't want to go back on tour with those other four. It takes a sane person to realize that.
- I have come to a conclusion: I could be sold on any movie that features a Van Halen with David Lee Roth song in the trailer. I mean, that is half the reason why I want to see Superbad so much.
- And speaking of Superbad, apparently writer-actor Seth Rogen got one upped by Simon Pegg... as Rogen was mulling over making a slacker zombie comedy himself before Shaun of the Dead was released. Rogen stated, "When I first saw Shaun Of The Dead, I thought, 'F**k! F**k those guys!' I'd been thinking of writing a zombie movie about two dudes, and then that came along. I couldn't believe it! Not only are these guys quicker, they're better than me, too!" Of course, Spaced fans know that the genesis of that movie was the third episode of the first series opening from back in 1999.
- Which reminds me of a discussion I was having with Semaj about the upcoming Ant-Man movie which Edgar Wright is writing and directing, and I think the crux of the argument came down to this: with questionable licensed properties, a good writer or director can find the gold amongst the silt to make a good movie. It may not be completely faithful to the source material, but it will stand well on its own. That's why I still believe that with the right writer/director team, a video game based movie could work.
