Andrew Breitbart of Breitbart.com is about to launch a website which will feature a collection political types, Hollywood sorts and other famous people discussing politics and cultural topics. This may serve to be a counterweight to such dreck as the Huffington Post, a blog I can’t say I’m a particular reader of.
I’m a fan of Breitbart’s news service, so Big Hollywood should be an equally fun read. The launch in immenent.
The director of ‘To Kill A Mockingbird‘ and ‘The Man in The Moon‘ has passed on. Polly Anderson of Townhall.com writes the obituary linked here.
Mickey Rourke stars in a movie called “The Wrestler,” which was nominated for a Golden Globe. As a fan of both Rourke and pro-wrestling, the subject of the movie, I figured I’d enjoy catching this flick when it makes it to my neck of the woods. A story regarding the film caught my attention recently, however. It shows that our nemesis in Iran has a very thin skin, and can’t handle the name-calling it dishes out.
The blog ‘Holy Hell’ writes on the whiny behavior the Iranian government is displaying against this film. It makes the regime in Tehran look rather pathetic.

Planet Origo reports on the passing of Forrest J. Ackerman, actor, publicist and sci-fi nut.
Rob over at Leaning Right comments on Ron Howard’s Nixon fetish. Dude, it happened 35 years ago, and Clinton did far worse by actually getting impeached. Get over it!
Girl On The Right posts a sad bit of news. Bettie Page, perhaps the hottest pinup model to ever exist, has had a heart attack and is in critical condition. May she pull through.
First, this is an absolutely cool site! My compliments to David Zuzelo for this review of Bo Arne Vibernius’ trash classic, done in two parts. Do keep an eye on this blog if you love Eurotrash cinema!
He’s also kind enough to have linked to the opening titles of the video on his site, so I present the original link here:
How wonderful is this? The British Film Institute is releasing a 15-disc box set of Life on Land. They interview Attenborough for this momentous occasion.
Yeah, this is a big deal. He’s had a pretty good run as an actor, but Phoenix wants to concentrate on music, his true love. After what he did in Walk The Line, he may have a good career ahead of him.
Utah Jazz and Megaplex Theaters has the right to do whatever it wants in terms of banning movies, but the inconsistency they’re showing simply because the word “Porno” appears on the title seems a bit off when films like “Saw V,” perhaps one of goriest films released to date, isn’t receiving the same treatment. This will end up becoming a big seller on DVD for the kids afterword, and there’s always those kids who like to illegally download movies. One way or other, people will watch this, no matter how good or bad it is.
