  1. HBO is going back to the ballpark with "Eastbound & Down," picking up the comedy series for a fourth season.

    Pay cabler confirmed that Danny McBride-starrer, which recently concluded its third season in April, will go forward with eight episodes.

     

    McBride exec produces with Will Ferrell, Chris Henchy, Adam McKay of Gary Sanchez Prods., along with Jody Hill.

     

    Show premiered its third season on Feb. 19 to 1.3 million viewers, with horseracing drama "Luck" as a lead-in, and was paired with "Life's Too Short." The season closed out on April 12 to 1.1 million viewers.

     

    The past season featured McBride's politically incorrect character Kenny Powers -- a former Major League Baseball pitcher -- living in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and coping with a newborn baby as a single parent.

    "Like any dip sh*t rock star knows, when you finish your set and the lights go black and you leave the f**king stage, the show ain't over. It might seem like it's over. Some d*ckheads might even start heading back to their car to beat traffic. But the true fans will remain. They'll chant your name, calling for you, begging for f**king more. And as a person that people see and is famous, it's your duty to answer those calls. To feed their hunger. One last face melter. People into the audience, raise your lighters and light them to make a flame. Watch your thumb or you may get burnt and get ready for the f**king encore." - Kenny Powers

     

    hell why not. i'd have prefered a film but i'll take it

  2. Saw The Amazing Spiderman....and absolutely loved it. Lots of fantastic performances all round, loved Garfield, Stone and Leary. And Peter Parkers mum is Miss Honey from Matilda. Some scenes like the one on the roof with just Gwen and Peter are wonderful. Its also really funny. Captain Stacys line of "What do I look like the mayor or Tokyo" or something like that was quality.

     

    Gwen Stacy > Mary Jane Watson

  3. Just got out of the amazing spiderman and I enjoyed it. Much better than I thought it was going to be. I'll class it as good as being the origin story lots of major points are carried over from the first raimi movie which is a detriment to me as for some major points there isn't much shock or surprise

     

    Garfield is great as a different variation on the character than maguire played it and it would be harsh at this point to say who was better

     

    Add emma stone being lovely, some great effects and stan lee and I'd love a sequel

     

    As not a massive comic book fan to the extent of some on here the post credit sequence while intriguing will need some explaining to me

  4. Planning on watching this on Sky at midnight, looking forward to it... I've read The Ascension are in action again, in a match originally taped as part of episode 4?

     

    Just checked the results from eariler in the thread and that match was late in the taping.

     

    JR says on commentary that they saw them a few weeks ago as well

  5. Ryan Reynolds as Highlander official now, it seems.

    Starship Troopers reboot to be less violent

    Paul Verhoyven to make controverstial movie about Jesus Christ

     

    EXCLUSIVE: As Darren Aronofsky’s Noah gets ready to set sail and iconic directors Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg forge ahead with epics about Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt, faithful Biblical epics are flourishing in Hollywood. It looks like there is even room for one that takes the most controversial look at the life of Jesus Christ since Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation Of Christ.

    I’m told that Muse Productions’ Chris Hanley, whose credits include American Psycho, has stepped up to finance development of a film about Christ. It will be based on Jesus Of Nazareth, a book that director Paul Verhoeven co-wrote after immersing himself in the history and researching the subject for nearly two decades. Verhoeven plans to direct the film, which will be written by Roger Avary. Avary shared the Academy Award for Best Original Script with Quentin Tarantino for Pulp Fiction.

    Verhoeven’s take on the life of Jesus Christ discounts all the miracles that inform the New Testament. That includes the immaculate conception and the resurrection. Verhoeven doesn’t believe any of them happened. I wrote about Verhoeven’s ambitions in spring 2011, as he and his reps at ICM first tried to find funding — no small feat given some of the theories he put forth in the book.The most controversial: that Jesus might have been the product of his mother being raped by a Roman soldier, which Verhoeven said was commonplace at the time, and that Jesus was a radical prophet who performed exorcisms and was convinced he would find the kingdom of Heaven on earth, and did not know he would be sentenced to die on the cross by Pontius Pilate. That, and the discounting of the miracles that pepper the New Testament, has made this a daunting project to set up. But while Verhoeven’s film credits include Showgirls (as well as hits like Robocop, Total Recall and Basic Instinct), he isn’t trying to tantalize here. He is fixated on Christ not for the miracles depicted in the blockbuster film The Passion Of The Christ, but rather in the enduring power of the message Christ preached which has kept him first and foremost in the minds of Christians for 2000 years. Verhoeven feels too many take Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins as a free pass to misbehave, because they think they don’t have to take responsibility for their actions. He feels that the value of Christ’s journey is the opportunity to emulate his life and the values he held dear, like forgiveness.

    “If you look at the man, it’s clear you have a person who was completely innovative in the field of ethics,” Verhoeven told me last year. “My own passion for Jesus came when I started to realize that. It’s not about miracles, it’s about a new set of ethics, an openness towards the world, which was anathema in a Roman-dominated world. I believe he was crucified because they felt that politically, he was a dangerous person whose following was getting bigger and bigger. Jesus’ ideals are about the utopia of human behavior, about how we should treat each other, how we should step into the shoes of our enemy.”
