Clint Eastwood and Spike Lee remain at odds in the “casting wars”. They seem to be responding to each other by “in your face” casting. Latest rumors have Lee working on a movie titled “George Bush, Antichrist” in which Bush is played by Eddie Murphy. Eastwood countered with his new project “Martin Luther” and sources say that Larry the Cable Guy has been cast as MLK.
SA (Surround Around) is the newest home entertainment rage. With SA, a center seating circle is surrounded by lifelike effects occurring on all sides. It’s so realistic; it’s like being there. While dramas and nature shows have a strong following, the most popular titles are “Angelina Does Akron” and “Britney Does All 57 States.”
Celebrity Hunt is a hot new reality show where several paparazzi are released into a hedge maze to be hunted by two celebrity personalities. The pilot episode starred Naomi Campbell and Tom Cruise. The stars are armed with 500kV Taser stun guns and are anxious to show the paparazzi how much they appreciate the 24/7 stalking. As the game goes on, it becomes more and more challenging for the celebrities as they attempt to avoid the smoking, charred, paparazzi already zapped.
With the reinstated Fairness Doctrine in effect, all talk shows have disappeared. The only thing left on radio that consistently gives both sides is Miller Lite’s “Great Taste, Less Filling” commercial running twenty-four hours a day (at least it is the one with the two hot babes wrestling in their underwear, allowing imagination to make up for the lack of visuals).
Current top box office blockbusters reflect the aging of their stars. The hot five are: Indiana Jones and the Flaming Wheelchair of Doom, The Bourne Senility, National Lampoon’s Assisted Living Vacation, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Dentures, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Damp Depends.
Debate season is in full swing; sessions are scheduled by topic and are free to all. Next week’s topic is “Free Speech, Can We Tax It?” Last week, the teams explored the “Did Too, Did Not” conundrum, but when fights broke out between the debaters, the resultant carnage prevented a consensus. The ever-popular classic debate topic, "Trailer Trash or Intern" will be the final topic of the season with the author's daughter Chelsea Clinton on hand to sign blue dresses.
