Picture Story: Anne Hathaway Has a Bad Day on the Set of Dark Knight Rises
The only way I'd pay to see another "Batman" movie again at the theater is if Lickona does the screenplay. From the preview I've seen here, I'll be first in line camping out at the movieplex!— September 26, 2011 5:02 p.m.
Morgan Freeman: Obama Made Racism Worse in America
Useless trivia: Florida gave George "Segregation Forever" Wallace his only primary victory in 1972, weeks before he was shot by Arthur Bremer. Oh, yeah... Florida also has that recount that gave the election to Dubya. Someone got the words "attended" mixed up with "compared" - that's all in your mind, Turd. Time to think for yourself. I didn't know you were related to the Brothers Marx! Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo, Gummo, and Scotto!— September 25, 2011 1:45 p.m.
The Movie Studio Logo Quiz: The Adventure Continues
Bosko's Picture Show - you be the judge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2qu9zrYCP0 My other guess for #9 was "Corvette Summer" - glad I went with my first instinct. I'm a fan of Nurdlinger Milk myself. The Hertz scenes alone are worth the price of admission. Once took the audio of Jack Lemmon's reaction to the billboards and placed it over a VHS FBI warning for effect.— September 22, 2011 3:26 p.m.

Dig A Hole: Dolores Hope
Back in 1991, I caught up with a HS friend who served in Operation Desert Shield. He served in an infantry unit who marched many long miles across the Kuwaiti desert before Desert Shield became Desert Storm. One particular day, he was ordered to a remote spot in the desert. There before him was Bob Hope, who was helicoptered into the field with Johnny Bench, Aaron Tippin (country singer), and Dolores Hope. My friend and his comrades all baked in the noontime desert sun for what amounted to be a made-for-Hope-TV moment that lasted around 1 hour. TRIVIA: Dolores Hope was the first female entertainer to perform in that region with the USO. As Dolores sang the song, many of the comments from my friend's Army buddies ranged from bewilderment ("Where's Marie Osmond?") to disappointed ("Her singing will help the Scud missles pinpoint our location...") to raunchy (can't print it here, folks). When she finished, most were clapping because Dolores was finished and they were able to get out of the hot sun. The helicopter flew in and the USO troupe was whisked away for a quick 40 minute flight to their next destination. Dolores in Chinaland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSD7vF48yls Dolores around the world with the USO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dnVtvZ1e_o RIP Dolores... somewhere she's tracking down Marilyn Maxwell because her lipstick matched the one on Bob's collar.— September 21, 2011 11:05 a.m.

Sitting this quiz out in memory of Dolores Hope, who died today at the age of 164. The mausoleum will be closed until further notice...— September 19, 2011 2:16 p.m.
James Earl Jones Calls for Straw Dogs Boycott in Light of Its Portrayal of His Home State
Re: the second picture from bottom of the article. RUN FORREST, RUN! And is that Preston Lacy from "Jackass" in the bed of the truck in the picture at the bottom of the article? James Earl Jones tweets? I officially hate Tweeter now.— September 16, 2011 7:35 p.m.
More Fun with Studio Logos!
Even though the Columbia girl is wearing a toga and would have fit right in at Delta House, "Animal House" was released by Universal Pictures. I've always wondered what the Disney logo would look like if it had the Bates Mansion incorporated into it instead of Cinderella's castle...— September 15, 2011 2:45 p.m.
The Movie Studio Logo Quiz
I almost said "The Seven Little Foys" for #14 - the power of Hope almost had me until I realized the mark of the beast bore the Paramount logo. Another edition of this game soon please!— September 15, 2011 11:46 a.m.
