Wednesday various

  • I know our Canadian neighbors had a little trouble in the last election (or shortly thereafter), but is that really a good enough reason to hand it over to Alex Trebek?
  • When does the craze to remake movies end? Warner Brothers has announced they’re planning to remake Tomb Raider, which is itself less than ten years old. In other news, plans to remake the remake are already in the works. Both will probably go straight to DVD.
  • Bacon. We get it. It’s tasty. Make it stop. [via]
  • Mickey Rourke to wrestle for real? Oh, Mickey… It’s not like that whole professional boxing thing worked out for you… Still, not to be outdone, fellow Best Actor nominees Frank Langella and Sean Penn have announced that they will be entering the world of politics, while Brad Pitt will pretend to age backwards, mainly by yelling at kids to get off his lawn.
  • I think TV Squad says it best: “Nothing tests ethics like a recession.” For the first time, movie ads can run during the Oscars.
