Chuck Norris gets Expendables 2 rated PG-13

 

doesnt like naughty words

 

Complaints from punters about The Artist

 

didnt know its a silent film so demand refunds

 

 

Both of those are hilarious news pieces, it almost sounds too stupid to be true.

 

Really gutted at Chuck Norris pissing his pants at language and violence in a fucking testosterone action flick. It's a good thing Sly has assured us there's going to be a really solid emotional story though, that's what we all really want from it.

According to this week's edition of Popbitch, in the first draft of the screenplay for Dr. No, Dr. No was going to be a monkey.

 

Would have been nice to see Bond trying to make a witty quip while Dr No wanks in the corner and flings shit at him.

Nice to see oldman and nolte get nods. bit miffed that Senna is not on the documentary list and Drive only getting the 1 nomination.

 

In other news the razzies have been delayed. the winners would usually be announced the night before the oscars but this year the nominees will be announced on "oscar eve" with the winners being unveilied on April 1st (lol).

 

Adam Sandler for Worst Actor and Actress.
