Beer on a stick
The next time you reach for a cold one, ask yourself this question: What could be better than beer on a stick? What, I ask you?

This is what the Internet is all about, right?
X-Men 3
In a brilliant casting decision, Kelsey Grammer has been announced as playing Dr. Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast in X-Men 3. Some guy named Vinnie Jones is playing the Juggernaut. Talks are underway to sign Maggie Grace (from Lost) to play Kitty Pride, and Angel will be a big part of the movie, but no names have been announced.
Cleese to write next Aardman film
Aardman Entertainment, which produced the exceedingly funny Wallace and Gromit films as well as Chicken Run, has hired John Cleese to help write their next film.
“It will be great comedy adventure about a pre-historic culture clash between two tribes, one comparatively evolved tribe, and one un-evolved tribe,” [Aardman co-founder Peter Lord] said.
“Some might consider one tribe might be the English, and some might consider that the other to be the French, the Gauls.
“Let’s just say it’s the start of the Entente Cordial and it explains why the English Channel is there.”
The Wallace and Gromit feature film, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, is due out this fall. Yay! But there’s not a lot of information available yet. BTW, this seems to be a re-naming from the original title of “The Great Vegetable Plot”.

It may be a piece of crap!
I like Bryan Singer. I loved both X-Men movies. I love “House”. I love THE USUAL SUSPECTS. I believe in Bryan Singer. When he says that he wants to make a Superman movie that picks up after SUPERMAN II, I breathe a sigh of relief. When I see pictures of Brandon Routh as Clark Kent, I’m thrilled.
Then comes this first publicity still of Routh as Superman. I just don’t know. Yes, it’s just a picture, but compare it to the first picture of Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man (Holy cow! I can’t find that picture to link to it. But it kicked @$$).
And, for heaven’s sake, Routh has brown eyes! They’re supposed to be blue. Unforgivable! 
On a more serious note about the movie, Singer says SUPERMAN RETURNS is the story of Superman returning after taking about six years off, following the events of SUPERMAN II. I have two big problems with this.
One, it’s a never-ending battle. Six years is a REALLY long time.
Secondly, the last thing Superman says to the President in that movie, to the best of my memory, is, “I’m sorry I let you down. It won’t happen again.” So, of course, he takes six $#^$@@ years off???!!!!
I understand people’s concerns about HHG, but this seems to have the potential to be much, much farther off target.
