She had better not been on that tug boat.

Aw, thanks for the thoughts. I hate cruises and surely I wouldn't take one in my own country Private boat, yes, but sailing and just around the Caribbean islands. AND SLEEPING ON an island each night, not on the boat. But cruises? Just no, thanks. This thing has turned into a gigantic piece of news worldwide. Truth is, those who helped people were great and evacuated 4,000 people in 2 hours. BUT THE CAPTAIN? oh my God. 15 years in jail is what he's facing and he truly deserves it.

In other lighter and more interesting news, I was reading a piece about Idris Elba talking about Bond (never gonna happen, but I do like him as an actor), and it seems like the Broccolis vain attempts to twist and turn news aren't bought by anyone anymore. Not only people (of course) don't believe the whole "oh Craig is going to be here forever thing", but also the article says "Don't rule anyone INCLUDING HENRY CAVILL out just yet". Interesting how his name is now back into play in what certainly isn't Bond press.

In addition to his aforementioned comments, Elba also spoke briefly with journalists at the Golden Globes about his possibly becoming Daniel Craig’s successor to the 007 throne. Here’s what he had to say:

“There was a huge rumor that once Daniel Craig finishes playing Bond that they were looking for someone different and my name was in that mix. And I answered a bunch of questions and the bottom line is of course, I’d be honoured to play the part if it comes my way.”

Elba previously made it clear that he’s simply interested in portraying a new cinematic incarnation of James Bond, rather than playing “a black version” of the iconic secret agent. Craig is reportedly being considered to portray 007 for five more films, following the release of Skyfall later this year, but that deal is far from set in stone; not to mention, there’s been no word as to whether or not Craig actually wants to continue wearing the Bond suit for that long.

In other words: don’t count out Elba or any other rumored candidates (like Henry Cavill and Michael Fassbender) as contenders to eventually take on the title of Mr. Bond just yet.

So see? Nobody's buying the EON spin doctors stuff anymore.

The superman story has some US government trying to keep tabs on Superman who wouldn't a all powerful being shows up out of nowhere with no known weaknesses the government has to try to neutralize it. I don't think it will be all that big a part of the story.

Exactly. Not to mention the one non Kryptonian guy who is a protagonist ends up HELPING him (it's Chris Meloni playing him). And, Superman's enemies in the movie are Zod and Faora. Plus, in the comics and in the toons, government and police DID fire against him (and Spiderman as well) at first, so this is just faithful to the original story. Let's not forget this is a "How it all began" tale. Not a movie with him being an established protagonist of people's lives already.

I'm going on a cruise(to Alaska) in August, but I'm not at all worried.

[bjmdds]

http://boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/ DC is on another sinking ship Tattoo dropped to "10th" place and BEHIND Tin Tin Tinny to boot MP, supposedly that cruise is beautiful. From NYC it is a long plane ride. Do you get on board near you or fly? ETT wild salmon on board

[katied]

San Diego to Seattle. which is only a 2 hours or so plane ride. We're going to get there the day before though-to do a little bit of sightseeing. I've never been to Seattle before so it'll be a lot of fun. I am going to go to the original Starbucks location!



And salmon..One of my favorite fishes and especially delicious smoked.

MMMM wild smoked salmon... MMMM!! Love. Oh I am not one that worries about cruises, I just flat out don't like them. I have been on boats many times and that's exactly why I don't like to spend many nights on them... space and hygiene become questionable. LOL I love being at sea but sharing space with all those people and being stuck always in the same space, even if it is a massive cruise ship, is not for me. I want to enjoy sea and what I truly do enjoy is going out at sea to bathe or find a new nice small beach to spend the day at and then come back for the night... the way I tan on a boat is priceless! LOL (yes I DO SUNBATHE. I'd rather be happy, good-looking and tanned than miserable, less good-looking and pale LOL Yes I do use very good lotions that protect my skin and never below 15 European SPF, which equals 20 US SPF as for some reason you guys have lower standards for filters than we do so our SPF 15 which is medium equals instead SPF 20 in the US which is medium-high. Never got the whys and hows of this LOL).

[Alessandra]

Whoa. Meantime, the Spiderman musical situation has gotten REALLY nasty.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-es ... uit-282773

And speaking of musicals, I have re-watched the "Smash" pilot (premieres on NBC Feb. 7) yesterday as it was finally available for download. It is absolutely wonderful. And seen as Katharine McPhee can also act and I LOVE her style and looks... I'd like to see her as Bond girl with Henry as well one day. (just watch the scene when she pretends to be Marylin seducing the director and you'll get what I mean. PURE Bond girl class!)

Being blue eyed I must watch the sun exposure for I burn , not tan. Those who tan have no idea what we 'burners' go through after a day in the hot sun.

Mcphee will laugh at her Idol days now, losing to crumb Taylor Hicks. Simon Cowell's two shows bombed this past season in the UK and USA. It could not happen to a more inane drone like him. He is yesterday's news.

[Dr. No]

Happy Birthday FROSTY! Hope to see you around a little bit more

[FormerBondFan]

Happy Birthday To FROSTY as well. And where is he anyway?

I have nothing against Taylor Hicks, but for McPhee to lose to him in the final... well I found that She sure must be laughing now! Smash really is a great show. Great writing and good quality. FINALLY NBC having something good again. I hope people don't just overlook it because it's on NBC. So far the reaction has been amazing from both public and critics, so let's hope. I don't dislike Simon Cowell either, but I do think he was presumptuous and did something he should never have done when he left Idol. And he's paid the price for it. (not that it will matter to him given the many millions he's already made, but still).

Being blue eyed I must watch the sun exposure for I burn , not tan. Those who tan have no idea what we 'burners' go through after a day in the hot sun.

Oh I have a few friends who are like that and it is NOT fun. BUT there are remedies, did you know? If you take beta-carotene in advance, you won't burn and you will actually tan .. using high protection lotion, of course. (need a dermatologist to give you the right ratio and pill to take, but it works, worked for a friend of mine who never tanned in her life and she had a beautiful tan last summer!)

[FormerBondFan]

Is he available to replace DC?

[Alessandra]

I forgot to wish Frosty a Happy Birthday!

I would really love to have him around more... I remember his posts even over at AJB and always enjoyed reading his views. I hope he (and Skywalker as well) comes back soon!

GoldenEye Wii a success = Orcs overwhelm Helms Deep



GoldenEye: Reloaded sales SUCKED = Orcs pinned down to submission by Gandalf with reinforcements

[Omega]

But it didn't not really 1.6 million worldwide and the Wii is the biggest selling system ever.

Ouch! Red Tails is getting panned. They deserve to have a good movie made about them looks like Lucas screws it up again.
