What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today:
• He already did this in that awful movie with Rachel MacAdams. Harrison Ford signs up for Anchorman sequel

• Another reason to hate the Hangover series: they’re so desperate they are besmirching the good name of *Enemy Mine.* Despicable.

Hangover Part III poster

• The fallout begins… Artist Quits Superman Project After Outcry Over Writer’s Marriage Views

Others see the Hangover III poster as ripping of this Harry Potter poster (mixed with the background of the Star Trek Into Darkness poster) => http://pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/032911_harry_potter_poster_teaser_544110329133505.jpg?w=544

I don’t think a lot of people remember Enemy Mine (a very good movie in my opinion), so I don’t think they were targetting that poster.

I think this is more a case of MaryAnn exercising her right to sarcasm.

I’ll gladly support Hangover III if they promise never to make any more. But I fear it’s too late…

Apropros of the bit about Chris Sprouse quitting, it seems like this version of Superman is attracting odd homophobes…here’s a link to Towleroad where the relevant part is at the bottom before the jump: http://www.towleroad.com/2013/03/sidewalkbigot.html#more

“On the bright side, this charmer is already in talks with DC Comics to illustrate Orson Scott Card’s Superman story.”

Unfortunately, the vid’s been removed from YouTube.
