  1. Also, Rambo 5 needs to be Rambo going to Afghanistan, killing the same people he was helping fight the Russians in pt 3.

     

    Watching him gut that kid would be great.

    You might just get your wish. According to imdb.com, Rambo V "follows Rambo III" so it may continue on the Afghanistan plotline.

     

    I hope that, regardless of plotline, the next Rambo movie will have at least a scene that I thought the last one should've had: Rambo going to Arlington cemetery (or wherever they bury Army guys) and paying respect to Colonel Trautman at his grave. It would be a scene that would make a great tribute to the late Richard Crenna. There

  2. Call me crazy, but I think the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien won't be as successful as it has been with Jay Leno and Johnny Carson. I don't really find Conan all that funny, but on the other hand, Leno cracks me up. I actually look forward to some of Leno's segments such as Headlines, Jaywalking, Stuff We Found on Ebay, those silly gifts, etc. I hope when Jay moves to 10pm, he will keep all that stuff with him. The only thing from the Conan Show I found mildly amusing are those character pictures with the moving mouths, and the In The Year 2000 segment. Who knows, maybe Conan might help the Tonight Show, but in my opinion, I think they should've kept Leno.

    Majel Barrett-Roddenberry dead at 76.

     

    LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

     

    Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the wife of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry, has passed away, Access Hollywood has learned. She was 76.

     

    The actress died of leukemia at 12:27 AM on Thursday in her Bel-Air home with her son, Rod, by her side, a rep for the star confirmed to Access in a statement. She was diagnosed with the disease six months ago.

     

    Majel, whose acting credits included “Bonanza,” “Leave It To Beaver” and “The Lucy Show,” had been a part of “Star Trek” in all of its forms since it first premiered on September 8, 1966.

     

    In addition to playing Number One and Nurse Christine Chapel in the original series, she played Deanna Troi’s mother Lwaxana Troi on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

     

    And Majel also voiced the computer of the various starships used throughout all of the TV shows and movies from the sci-fi franchise — she just completed her voiceover work as the voice of the Enterprise in director J.J. Abrams’ reboot of “Star Trek,” due in theaters on May 8, 2009.

     

    A public memorial is planned for sometime after Christmas or in early 2009. Her family has asked that donations are made to the CARE Organization or Precious Paws in lieu of flowers.

  4. After 6 years, I am compelled to edit the title of this poll to Samus Vs Jango Fett. Is this bothering anyone else?

    It definitely clarifies things MUCH better.

     

    On that note, I still think Samus would mop the floor with Jango Fett.

  5. As much as I would love to bring back as much of the LOTR cast as possible, I can't see how doing it with Ian Holm as Bilbo would be possible. Even with makeup/CGI, it would just look bad, and it won't work. Best thing to do would be to find an actor who talks/resembles Holm as best as possible, but younger.

    Guillermo Del Toro on 'The Hobbit' Casting

     

    October 15, 2008 07:13:37 GMT

    The Academy Award-nominated director discusses the rumors flying around the casting for the J.R.R. Tolkien's adaptation project from Hugo Weaving and Ian McKellen to Doug Jones and Viggo Mortensen.

     

    After opening up about his vision on the creatures of "The Hobbit", dragon Smaug and Wargs, director Guillermo Del Toro speaks out about what he knows of the casting. Talking to MTV, the 44-year-old fesses up that no one has definitely come on board the project though he and his crew have in mind some of the potential actors.

     

    Asked whether Hugo Weaving will be cast as Elrond once again, Del Toro reveals that he has the intention to approach the star as well as other "Lord of the Rings" actors, like Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen. "Oh yeah. We have to approach him - of course," he says. "Hugo Weaving, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen - they all must be approached to do the movie."

     

    Moving on to the speculation of Doug Jones as the potential candidate for the Elvin King, the man behind "Pan's Labyrinth" hints that Jones may get another part but the King. "I would love to find a part for Doug. It's not necessarily the Elvin King. I think there is a part that will suit him, but it's not the Elvin King," so he claimed.

     

    Additionally, he also addresses the issue of Viggo Mortensen's casting. On the occasion, Del Toro insists that he has not spoken to the Aragon's depicter. Exposing his reason, he further states, "I think that if you create the situation in which the actor has felt invited, that you cannot or do not find him fit for the part, he will feel slighted. Damaging to our relationship and damaging to the project. We are really cautious about not saying any names, because until the pages tell us what to do, we shouldn't."

     

    To be produced by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson who has directed Tolkien's other novel adaptation "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Hobbit" will be a two-part movie centering on Bilbo Baggins. The first part, "The Hobbit", tells the story when the character embarks on a journey to reclaim the stolen treasure by the dragon Smaug and eventually comes into possession of the One Ring, while the second "The Hobbit 2" will serve as a bridge between "Hobbit" and "LOTR". "Hobbit" is scheduled for December 1, 2011 release and "Hobbit 2" is set to be released exactly a year later on December 1, 2012.
