A few quick things...

Ouch, after much fanfare and introduction we go over a week without posting? Rough.

Regardless, here's a few notes.

1. The Dark Knight, continuing to rape every other movie in the history of ever, became the 2nd highest grossing film ever over the weekend, passing up the original Star Wars. It only trails this piece of shit.

2. Only days after I shared my disgust with Tom Cruise's upcoming WWII drama, Valkyrie, the film's release date was pushed up from a pathetic February date to a prime-time Christmas break spot. Regardless, I'm still not forgiving Scientology's golden boy for thinking he's this guy.

3. Finally, the new crappy animated Star Wars thing debuted in 3rd place at the weekend box office with a pretty weak $14.6 million. Hopefully this will be the final nail in the coffin we know as George Lucas' career and he just decides to give himself the Han Solo treatment.

Tom Cruise's Next Epic Fail

Believe it or not, when Tom Cruise isn't acting strange and being a douche, he's actually still making movies. This is both good and bad.

Good: Tom Cruise gets less tabloid attention.
Bad: Tom Cruise is acting.

Enter Valkyrie.


Now where do I start? How about the fact that everyone in the movie is speaking in a German or English accent except the esteemed Mr. Cruise? Kind of strange to have a German hero portrayed with an American accent, no?

The movie looks simply like an excuse to put an eyepatch on every character from every other movie Cruise has ever made. Throughout the whole trailer I was waiting for Iceman to appear out of nowhere. But alas, nada.

The film has been delayed as many times as Cruise has done something dumb, which is a lot. The fact that it's finally settled in for a February 13, 2009 release (as opposed to the hot summer slot it was supposed to have this year) tells us two things:

1) Tom Cruise sucks.
2) Valkyrie will probably suck too.

Rob's Bold Prediction: Valkyrie goes on to win 30 Oscars despite the fact there are only 24 available. Cruise credits the great L. Ron. Academy president Sid Ganis is seen driving around in his 15 brand new Bentleys the next day.
