The Chronicles of Riddick helmer David Twohy has written on his official Web site that another movie featuring the character made famous by Vin Diesel is still a possibility.
The page six gossip column of the New York Post has reported a rumor that Naomi Watts (King Kong) has been signed to star opposite Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code prequel Angels and Demons.
I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
