Keira Knightley is gonna be starring in a new movie version of King Lear? Not as the king, I hope, but okay. (She’ll be Cordelia, actually, to Anthony Hopkins’ Lear.)

Oh my god! Guillermo del Toro is going to direct The Hobbit! Which means we only have to wait a couple of years till we get more Lord of the Rings. I’m starting holding my breath… now! Oh, okay, in the meantime, we’ve got some Tolkienesque knockoffs to keep us busy. Like the new Chronicles … more…
I swear to Christ, if I didn’t know better, I’d have thought that a movie with a title like Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay had to be a laugh-till-you-cry joke out of The Onion, or maybe a bit of snarking against stupid from Idiocracy.
