The Big Chillin'

After reading in the trades that the 1978 Robby Benson ice-skating vehicle Ice Castles has been remade, I must turn my attention back to my Big Chill remake. I see my version with hip-hop artists from the 80’s, Kool Mo Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Salt, Slick Rick if he’s not in the jiznoint, who reunite for a weekend of reminiscing and rapping while at the funeral of one of The Fat Boys. Huge soundtrack potential!

Smashing Good News

A story ran recently in the wire services stating British officials are thrilled about a new shatterproof pint glass, claiming it will reduce health care costs due to the tendency pub patrons have for smashing the old style glasses and using it as a weapon in pub fights, usually right after "Oi, you, shut your gob!" has been shouted. Well, it has finally come to this, Shatterproof Pint Glasses. Now if British Officials could only do something about head butting.

Not to be a cheeky monkey about this mind you, but government officials are not suggesting one should try to drink in moderation. I guess they know all too well most people are going to get arse over elbow after too many lagers and curry and cause a rumpus. But a shatterproof glass as a way of cutting health care costs? Seems like most people will drink to that.

Making (and reading) Headlines

KNBC's news anchor brings the pain. Alycia Lane is now the new Today in LA anchor. She got fired from a station in Philly, has emailed sexy bikini photos to a married guy, beat down a female police officer and called her a f-ing d***, and has stream rolled over every other female anchor at the NBC affiliate who simply don't stand a chance against her. Welcome to LA, Alycia.
