    2013: UPCOMING MOVIES/CASTING/RUMORS/ETC

    in MOVIES & TV

    Posted

    Oh that's right - I knew there was something I had to post regarding The Butler (or whatever it's new name will be)

     

     

    The Weinstein Company has been told to change the title of its forthcoming historical drama The Butler.

     
    Warner Bros won a rights claim over the name from the Motion Picture Association of America's Title Registration Bureau for its silent comedy short of the same title released in 1917.
     
    According to Deadline, TWC has hired a top lawyer to appeal the decision.
     
    In a statement, the company said: "The suggestion that there is a danger of confusion between TWC's 2013 feature movie and a 1917 short that has not been shown in theaters, television, DVDs, or in any other way for almost a century makes no sense.
     
    "The award has no purpose except to restrict competition and is contrary to public policy."
     
    Forest Whitaker leads the movie, based on a true story of a butler who serves the White House over eight presidencies.
     
    Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, Robin Williams and Alan Rickman also star in the movie which recently had its release date moved forward in the US from October to August, although no release date in the UK has been set.
     
    It is alleged that Warner Bros's motives for the battle stem from a similar challenge between the two companies over The Good Lie name.

    I cleared it out this morning after not doing it for like two days - and there were something like 24 pages of them.

     

    It does make my life easy that I can click on the IP for one of the accounts and it pulls up like 30 other ones I can get rid of.

    For some reason I kinda suck in the combat simulator.

    Of course - I am judging myself based on the fact of only a couple of matches on the foot soldier level where I was only able to Silver.

    I am assuming higher scores are easier on the tougher difficulties.

    Mary-Louise Parker says she is "retiring" from acting.

     

    The reason? The internet is mean.

     

    "The world has gotten too mean for me, it's just too bitchy. All the websites and all the blogging and all the people giving their opinion and their hatred … it's all so mean-spirited, it's all so critical,"

    Ashley says that whether she is your love interest or not since I got the same dialogue.

    I too took Liara instead of Tali - based on the nature of the mission it makes the most sense to have Liara with you.

     

    I finished the DLC last night. I am going to do the party again tonight but do the laid back version just to see the differences (if any)

     

    At lunch I need to put together a list of my favorite things from just Citadel

    What about the LAX 3D "Electrified" Cage match complete with flickering light effect and buzzing sound when the wrestlers touch the cage?

     

    Lockdown 2007

     

    Lockdown leads to a bunch of stupid shit because you end up with gimmick matches INSIDE A CAGE~!

    That same Lockdown card also have James Storm vs. Chris Harris in a Blindfold Match INSIDE A CAGE~!

    Individual schools and leagues have their own contracts. So in theory EA could make a deal with say the SEC - and then you get the real teams and the real names.

     

    It's kinda like the soccer games currently - where they have agreements with specific leagues and those are the ones featured

    What's funny is that - and I said this to Jenn on Twitter - there actually would be a market for those since there clearly has to be giant contingent of South Carolina Panther fans who would love that shirt (obviously with a slight tweak but still)

    Since Connor Barth is a cripple - the Bucs have signed Lawrence Tynes as their new kicker

     

    I totally missed the Giants moving on from Tynes but I guess Josh Brown is their man now
