Barbarella Come & Save Me From My Misery

Well according to this article now Halle Berry is going to play Barbarella in the to be made someday remake of the 1968 cult classic starring Jane Fonda in the title role. Personally I was more excited about this when Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale were rumoured to be playing the lead in this remake, but no matter I'll go see it anyway . . . if and when it gets released and or appears at my local theatre.

And since we're talking new movies apparently there's another sequel to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (remember their Bogus Journey?) in the works, but according to this article from Contact News it will happen without Keanu Reeves or Alex Winter (who apparently has done something besides the Bill & Ted movies and The Lost Boys), Reeves because his agent thinks it would be bad for his career. Personally I can see not calling on these two to reprise the roles, but what I do I know for making movies.

And one last bit of movie news, Kevin Smith has announced a new movie Zack & Miri Make a Porno. You can read about it here if you like; me I'm just hoping it's good. So far the only Kevin Smith movies that I've enjoyed (at least if i knew the movies with Smith films) have been the New Jersey Chronicles - although I have to admit that when I saw Chasing Amy I only liked the first half of it.

In case you're a big a fan of Smiths' New jersey movies here's a website that gives you the addresses of many of the real locations that he used in these movies. Stalk away you crazy fan boys.

Well that's enough movies talk for now, let's move onto TV game shows. Unfortunately this link is about a month and a half old, but someone auctioned off the set from Family Feud on eBay. I gotta wonder what are you going to do with this guy who bought it? I guess you could redecorate your living room with it like Kosmo Kramer did on the one episode of Seinfeld . . . or make game night down at the local boozer a lot more big budget.

And here the good folks at Retro Crush have compiled their list of the Top 30 Game Show Hosts and really it's hard to argue with their choices, even their choice for the number one slot. Rayburn and Match Game was so many kinds of awesome, but I don't think the either would have been as good without the other. The show really needed it's on air drinking, chain smoking, B-List Celebrity panel, Mr. Rayburn, cheeky flirting and that great 70's attitude (and penchant for brown plaid suits) to really make it classic and worthwhile. But that's just my opinion.

You can catch re-runs of Match Game on the Game Show Network if you're so inclined.

And today I will leave you with this link to purchase your very own replica Airwolf Helmet, although unfortunately they won't be making any more of them until late this year. Book mark the site because I can think of a few people who would defo love to have one of these on their shelf . . . or head. I remember thinking that the show Airwolf was just bad ass when it was on the air . . . I wonder if it's still watchable? and I wonder what Jan-Michael Vincent is up to these days?

Anyway that's her for now, I am outta here!
