Today in pop culture
July 28th, 2008 by Amanda Schurr in Film, Food and Drink, Music, News, PoliticsBox office numbers are in, and it’s official. Nothing can derail the Batman from taking over the world. (And that smarmy weasel James Cameron’s soon-to-be-history old B.O. record.)
Of all the states, this makes sense, no? Cali’s the first to go trans-fat free.
Really? Really. Really? You guys make us wanna punch babies. Your babies.
Well, this is certainly one way to burn a bridge.
Whoa. That is all. Just. Whoa.
Requiem for a remake: Darren Aronofsky to remake RoboCop.
Shia done LaBeouf-ed, big time, with this latest blunder.
Tell us why, ain’t nothing but a mistake: Didn’t they try this a couple of years ago? And didn’t they bomb?
More casting news: DiCaprio to enter The Twilight Zone. Will there be a Growing Pains episode?
Nomi knows best. Or at least better than Brooke Hogan.
WWWD? Check out the new Bush here.
Coming soon to a cemetery near you: “Statement Coffins.”
Body/face image problems? Modern technology to the rescue…
Waaaaiit: It’s possible to “de-tag” yourself on Facebook?
Weddings, too, get downsized. And this is a bad thing, how?
And, because we just can’t get enough…

Random thoughts: James Cromwell makes the W. trailer for me. Tell me he doesn’t have some of the best lines in “Space Cowboys.”
Bryan Singer. Ang Lee. Christopher Nolan. Now another top-shelf director in Darren Aronofsky directing a comic-book movie. Can Sam Mendes be far behind?
The Bale clip is brilliant. But have you noticed, Amanda, that in interviews regarding The Dark Knight, Bale keeps his American accent?

I have… I believe Bale does that in all of his movies, according to the accent used - I recall him saying something to the effect of doing so, so as not to jar audiences.
That, and because he’s the motherflippin’ MAN. (Okay, I admit my Baleheadness took over there. I don’t think he was the best part of the film - obviously. But have you seen the Machinist? Like whoa.)

Haven’t seen The Machinist yet. I remember reading about it when it first came out, and I guess I was afraid to see what he did to his body for the role.
Yes, Bale is indeed the man, from the first time I saw him in Empire of the Sun. Didn’t see Newsies, natch.
