Fun fact. Did you know Rupert Friend was auditioned for the Bond role in 2005? Now, he's playing Agent 47.

I did not know that.

I'll be the only surgery he needs...which is good. Recovery is slowly but surely right now. He had the surgery Monday, and was home the next day, which amazed me but the level of technology doctors have now, it's possible!

Box Office Mojo: Godzilla (May 16): The bad taste from 1998's Godzilla movie has been washed away by strong trailers that show off the human impact of large-scale destruction while only providing brief glimpses of the monster. This calls to mind the marketing strategy for last year's World War Z, which kept its zombies obscured for the most part. While Godzilla doesn't have Brad Pitt, the giant lizard should make up for that. Adjusting for inflation, the 1998 movie earned around $230 million, which is a fair target for this movie. Also, look for huge international returns. (Domestic: $230 million, Foreign: $440 million)

I just returned from another go-round of Chiller Theatre's convention. We quickly spoke to Mrs. Partridge herself, Shirley Jones, walking by in the lobby. She ran like a bat out of hell to get to the elevators once we noticed her. We also said hello to Estella Warren from the 2001 Planet Of The Apes. She was friendly. Michael Pare was friendly from Eddie And The Cruisers. David Proval from The Sopranos and The Shawshank Redemption was walking around the lobby with two other friends of his. http://chillertheatre.com/gt/gtc4.htm

Those Chiller conventions always sounds like a lot of fun.. I want to go to ComiCon one of these years but it always sells out too quickly.

I should have mentioned that these comments relate to a copy of the shooting script that was submitted to them for advice (studios often do this, as it's cheaper than having to re-edit/re-shoot a finished film). Interesting that they objected to the use of one-liners, I had always heard that these were put in to soften the impact of the violence.

Well, to be honest, as that is a Bond film, the one-liners should always be used, in my honest opinion.

Book it early. Sold out? Can't anyone show up each day and go in?

Nope.. They really should have it set up so people can just walk up and go to whatever day they want to(or not). It's super organized,which, because of the size of it, is totally necessary.

On Tuesday the Tony nominations were announced in New York City by Lucy Liu and Jonathan Groff and notable snubs were Daniel Craig and Rachel Weitz (for Betrayal). :up: This 'spherical adhesion' to the human race has literally NOTHING going on now outside of Who The Hell Cares, which will be the first non-Fleming book to be made into the continued disgraceful, systematic, breakdown of the franchise film Broccoli will produce.
