I've read reports on NewsAskew.com that he is not MagnoliaFan and has never had any part in the editing of any SW film. Although he is rumored to be working with Mark Hamill on a new SW TV show. As for time on his hands... who the hell really knows? He's doing the Comiccon circuit right now. He's also been rumored to be working on all kinds of different films right now. It seems like it's a different film each week. First he was attached to Fletch Won and that went by the wayside for The Green Hornet and that went by the wayside for Clerks 2: The Passion of the Clerks. Now it seems like none of them are going to happen although you hear little bits of development news for each of those three. For example, he's no longer directing Hornet but is involved in the scriptwriting. Also, it's rumored that he really wants Zach Braff to play Fletch. Then you hear new bits of info about Clerks 2. Who knows what the hell his next project truly is. Maybe he did do the MagnoliaFan edits. Maybe he really does have the time.

Church Will Try to Squash Hero in 'Spidey 3'
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Thomas Haden Church, who was nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor in "Sideways," has been cast as Spidey's new archenemy in the next chapter of the "Spider-Man" franchise.

Director Sam Raimi made the announcement Monday along with producers Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad.

"Spider-Man 3," which is scheduled for release May 4, 2007, will reunite the team that was responsible for the first two blockbuster films, which combined to gross more than $1.5 billion in worldwide ticket sales.

The new film will again star Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and Kirsten Dunst (news) is expected to reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson. Production on "Spider-Man 3" is scheduled to begin early next year.

"In addition to the ongoing relationship between Peter Parker and M.J., these films are driven by the great actors who have brought our villains to life," Raimi said. "Thomas Haden Church will be a fantastic and challenging new nemesis, and we all look forward to working with him."

The filmmakers are not revealing the identity of the new villain.

Church is voicing one of the characters in the upcoming animated film "Charlotte's Web," and he recently appeared in Columbia Pictures' "Spanglish."

The actor's other credits include the films "George of the Jungle," "3000 Miles to Graceland," "Monkeybone" and "Tombstone." In 2003, he starred in, co-wrote and directed the comedy "Rolling Kansas." On the small screen, Church played Lowell Mather on the NBC series "Wings" from 1990-95 and starred on the 1995-97 Fox comedy "Ned and Stacey."

And will this be as good as the original two?

Vaughn Leads 'X-Men' Into Third Battle
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Matthew Vaughn has been enlisted to direct "X-Men 3" for 20th Century Fox.

Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, is set to return; the studio, which anticipates reassembling the series' principal cast, is in negotiations with Ian McKellen, Halle Berry (news) and Patrick Stewart.

The project will begin filming in mid-July for release May 26, 2006, which marks the beginning of Memorial Day weekend.

A search for a new director for the third movie in the franchise was triggered when Bryan Singer, who helmed the first two and was expected to direct the third, opted in July to relaunch Warner Bros. Pictures' Superman franchise. "Superman Returns" began principal photography Monday.

Writers for "X-Men 3" are Zak Penn and Simon Kinberg.

Vaughn, who produced the Guy Ritchie-directed films "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch," last year directed the British gangster film "Layer Cake," starring Daniel Craig. Vaughn also is attached to direct "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." for Warner Bros.

I always liked the rumble feature in the Medal of Honor games so it knocked off your aim. Greatest piece of realism I can think of in modern video games.

I kind of looked at the product placement in the same way Chaltab did... more like a comparison of what existed then and what will exist later. Not so much companies trying to get their products in a movie. Although I'm sure that's what it was.

What I hated was just how cartoony the film was. The hoverboard chase in the town square took what was a great scene in the original movie and dragged its memory through the mud ruining it entirely. Biff became a sad joke whereas he was a viable bully in the original film. Now, you look at him and his offspring and wonder how you could possibly be afraid of him/them. Even Doc Brown became annoying after a while.

My wife and I agree with you, Warbler. And that's the reason we haven't purchased the box set. We only want 1. Not that we hate 2 and 3. Actually, I thought 3 was okay. 2 I could do without. But the original is all you need.

I would have to disagree. There is one thing that would make B&R watchable... denying its existence entirely! Static is a better substitute for that movie.

King has a new mini-novel coming out soon. It's a throwback to the hard-boiled detective novels of yore. I guess it's a whole series of books each written by a different well-known author. Kinda cool, IMHO. Very much like the old pulp crime novels.

I'm very anti-censorship and will be tolerant to pretty much any viewpoint presented here, but one topic that is not permitted is the discussion of bootlegs.

Whatever your feelings are on the subject, please keep them private. Don't post about them publicly. Everyone already knows where to get them, so there's no need to discuss them.

Just about anything else is fair game. You'll find I'm pretty loose and will let you say what you will.

That said, enjoy the forum

Dunno if this is the first or not, but it seems pretty damn early in the life of the site.

Just nabbed Army of Darkness from the $5.50 bin at Wally World. They also have a new one there. It's a $7.50 display. Not a bin. Says something along the lines of "2 Great Movies; 1 Great Price" on the side of it. From that I got Twins and The Big Lebowski.
