I’m hearing all kinds of crazy-ass rumors that writer-director Tyler Perry is gonna dress in drag as a crazy old ass-kicking black woman and star in a film remake of one of his cheesy gospel plays no one but African-Americans see. IF THIS STARTLING DEVELOPMENT SOMEHOW BUCKS THE ODDS AND PROVES TRUE… I’m gonna go waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out on a limb here and predict that black people everywhere will bitterly disagree with traditional movie reviews and make this thing a hit. Also, I hear that Denzel Washington is going to play against type and – GET THIS – play a self-sacrificing law enforcement official/military man. Spooky! Jackie Chan? He’ll be doing his own stunts. I’m NOT making this up! Joe Pesci won’t be doing a single film this year. Yes. It’s amazing, isn’t it? Swear to God, though! The next franchise in the American Pie series is going in a completely different direction. GET this… it’ll explore teen sex, comedy hijinks, cursing, drug use, teen stereotypes, goofy trains of events, several fart jokes and maybe boobies. Shhhhh. Stephen King is reportedly lending his name to something unwatchable and unfilmable. ---

Geena Davis will play their moms. Your sentence got truncated - Geena Davis, Sigourney Weaver & Mimi Rogers will play their moms. Mmmmm… moms. ---

I hear in his next film, Johnny Depp is going to play an eccentric character with unusual mannerisms. ---

Milla Jovovich will be playing a character with superhuman fighting skills who has no knowledge / memory of either the society in which her character lives or of how she came to have such amazing fighting skills. (Sadly, imdb does actually confirm this. Even sadder is that I not only will watch it, but am looking forward to it.) ---

I hear Julia Roberts will sing along to a song (perhaps in a car or while doing housework) in her next film. ---

Even sadder is that I not only will watch it, but am looking forward to it.) I understand she will appear topless, and no one will care as she has the chest of a 13 year old boy. ---

At any rate, it’s the actor/director combinations that excite me. I’m really looking forward to the new Michael Douglas/Jerry Bruckheimer release, _The Rich Asshole Gets Blown Up_.
