So, I haven’t really been around much, hadn’t had time to write any articles, but let’s see if I can catch up on those 2 weeks missed:
- Cinema:
Iron Man 2 gets released, does well with crowds, Marvel execs probably have dollar signs for eyes right now. Robert Downey Jr. does his thing, Scarlett Johansson is Black Widow (remind me to write about sexy leather strapped chicks in comic book movies), and Don Cheadle’s character pretends to not know why he’s had plastic surgery. Cannes is under way, Tim Burton presides over the jury (funny that this comes in the year his most soulless movie cashed in big at the box office ). - TV:
Lost is wrapping things up, adopting the “We actually won’t give out any answers” technique, which personally I don’t mind, though I predict riots on the streets when the finale airs. Chuck, Human Target, V get renewed, demonstrate TV execs aren’t as heartless as believed (just a little less though). Flash Forward is officially not the new Lost , leaving a host of good actors (I’m not counting Joseph Fiennes) in search of different projects. - Music: Kesha’s “Tik Tok” gets a full Simpsons intro that actually managed to be a lot better than the original video.
That’s it for short. Didn’t want to get too much into new film releases (I’ll talk Robin Hood soon), or TV shows finales, cancellations and renewals. Those will get different posts altogether.
