Whatever the Hollywood Reporter says, Martin Campbell should get
another shot at James Bond if the producers can come to terms with
him. Mendes is just a stalking horse. As for the script, Quantum of
Solace was such a moronic script, expect Campbell to want a new script

Re: Sean Penn returns to 'Three Stooges' film?

Can you believe this (?): I am not a Stooges fan. Not when I was 12, not
50 years or so later......There must be one or two others out here that
feel the same.... ?
Although I would watch a Sean Penn version for a bit, especially after
finally seeing "Milk" last evening. What a stitch was that flick! </irony>

The History Channel had a James Bond special episode for one of their
series. They interviewed the same guy. He wouldn't tell The History Channel
either. Closest you will probably find is something from Mythbusters, but I
don't think Mythbusters and the Discovery Channel have tackled the barrell

But that's the point. It will be funny because it is the Three Stooges,
and it will be made funnier because someone not known for being funny
will be placed in the situation of being a Stooge.
Think of any time a tv show references the Three Stooges.

After certain volcanic eruptions, the surrounding seas are sometimes

This was noted by the Romans after Vesuvius went bang, and also by

Nah... at worst Mendes's action will be constrained to
"importance" (...and James will suffer a Crisis of Purpose). But, for
now anyway, I kind of like the idea of the Bond franchise as a
Bonneville Salt Flats for high-flown directors to test-drive their
impetuous youth... even those who may be meeting it for the first

At last, a Bond movie for people who hate action movies. Does the poor
thing have a title? How about "Thunderbore", or "Coldfinger"?

ADAM is a 29-year-old man with mild Asperger's syndrome who lives with
his father. Shortly after the father's death, a pretty schoolteacher
(Rose Byrne) moves into the apartment upstairs. Because this
sentimental movie never gets mawkish -- or predictable -- and because
its two leads wisely keep their characters restrained to
