FIRST. It was reported that Ridley Scott will be directing a film based on the popular board game MONOPOLY. Yup, MONOPOLY. It's going to be a sci-fi version. The question is why would a person choose to direct a MONOPOLY movie after he's already made ALIEN, BLADE RUNNER, and GLADIATOR? Hopefully he's got another groundbreaking sci-fi movie in him, or else this could be JUMANJ times two. Ridley Scott is a very talented director but his last couple of movies haven't piqued my interest, because of the stories, not because of the directing style. So even if the story is about a rogue iron battling a totalitarian sportscar over the mining rights of Baltic Avenue, it'll at least LOOK amazing. If you're unfamiliar with the story, the game is about people trying to buy up property and piss everybody off to the brink of murder. Don't pretend YOUR monopoly sessions ended in hugs and hot chocolate, they ended in horror.
SECOND. Cheech & Chong reunited this year, and they went on the road with a brand new comedy tour. I didnt get to see them when they came around but I just might get my chance. THE WEINSTEIN CO., which is starting to become my new favorite movie company, has decided to film and release the show as a concert movie. It hasn't been announced if it will be released in theaters or straight to BLURAY/DVD yet, but either way I'll be there with a beanie and suspenders. Keep your red eyes open for it soon...
