Where People Thought

What I'm Watching

Monday, July 30, 2007

Good news, everyone:

According to this article there's a new Futurama movie being released on November 27. The show will return on November 27th as a full-length high-def film sold on DVD. It will be followed by three additional films, and each film will be divided into four episodes each to be aired on Comedy Central. So, that's 4 DVD movies or 16 new episodes depending on how you look at it.

Apparently no other big revelations came out of the SDCC panel, but they did say that the first DVD - Bender's Big Score - centers around some nudist aliens and the secret to time travel which is somehow attached to Fry's buttock.


Since we're rocking the entertainment world, how about this article where Ed Norton says he rewrote the "Incredible Hulk" script to better link to other Marvel Comics franchises; apparently Norton was a "Marvel kid", his words not mine. I still haven't seen the last Incredible Hulk movie directed by Ang Lee, but I haven't heard anything good about it so I don't think I'm missing out on anything . . . and from what I've read/heard the studios are going to pretend that movie never happened when making this one.

Damn there's all kinds of great news that comes out of the San Diego Comic-Con . . . like yesterday someone had YouTubed a screening of footage from/the trailer for the upcoming Iron Man movie, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Ironman, from the SDCC and I watched it last night, but when I went to check to see if the link was still good this morning, it wasn't. You can check it yourself here if you like.

But don't fret the official Dark Knight teaser trailer is still up and running on YouTube so go give it a butcher's, it's a real tease but you know you wanna.

Well I should get going, but I'd like to leave you with a little history reminder it was on this day in 1938 that in his Dearborn, Michigan office Henry Ford proudly accepts a Nazi medal on his 75th birthday. The Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle is the highest award the Reich can bestow on foreigners. The medal arrives with a note of personal greetings from Adolf Hitler. A rabid anti-semite, Ford paid for copies of the racist hoax Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to be deposited in major U.S. libraries. Think about that next time you're proud of your Ford tough F-150's history.

Until next blog.
