Hitman will no longer kill, but hand out flowers in the PG-13 cut

Another R-rated movie may get the PG-13 cut. This time Hitman?

http://www.themovieblog.com/2007/10/fox-pulls-hitman-from-director-last-minute#comments

The news is not looking good. We could very well see the end of the R-rated movies altogether. What makes this stupid is that Hitman is based on the violent videogame of the same name, which is far from ever being PG-13. It says it in the title. Fox shouldn’t have made the movie, if they didn’t have faith in the content or the director.

Halo fans; be happy your movie isn’t getting made, because Hollywood will screw it up.

There is a slim chance that the blogsphere can make enough noise and make the studio change its mind, but then again most already think this movie is going to suck

The opinion I've been hearing is the original cut is going to be the DVD selling point.

Halo fanboys everywhere just read your line and went, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I hope they stop meddling like this, it always looks half done when they make something and then take the knife to it, Hitman should be excessively adult because that's both the nature and setting of the movie, you can't have an assassin in a pg13 unless he's Jean Reno

MC: I hope it turns out so, I might just skip the theater cut altogether and rent the DVD version later.

Blayde: You make a very good point that the original poster in the link made. They're making the changes after the movie has been completed and it just seems wrong.

Plus, I hate the fact they're throwing the director out for post-production, which is always a bad sign.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

a U of L cheerleader gets into a little bit of trouble...

Image
The Internet can be a dangerous place, and things that you did with that camera can come back to ruin your life. A very attractive University of Louisville cheerleader by the name of Becca Manns took some pictures of herself naked and also having sex with a dude. Either her memory stick or camera was stolen, and the theft uploaded the graphic photos onto the World Wide Web. That was when the shit hit the fan (Louisville Fan). She ended up having to leave the program and probably school. (I am currently enrolled in UofL as well, but you won't find any photos of me.) I sort of feel sorry for her because she did one crazy thing, and now it has ruined her life. However, I have to say this to her: You were given a chance to do something many people would never get a chance to do, go to an University. You have to learn fairly quickly that every action good or bad has consequences. Exposing yourself probably wasn't good for your career or your life. (James steps off his ...

Bernie Mac RIP

Bernie Mac is Dead A bit of upsetting news... ((CHICAGO (AP) — Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50. )) I remember watching him on Def Comedy Jam , where he really broke out. If you get a chance, check out some of his earlier work on that show. I think he was able to really shine in some of the roles he took in his movie career. He seemed to always play the creepy guy that wore bad clothes and talk in strange patterns. Friday : He was great in this limited role. He played Pastor Clever, the horny Pastor. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood : He played the self-racist cop. What a great moment. Get on the Bus : Another good role, but limited. Ocean's Eleven : He had a few moments to shine in this role, plus third film too. Bad Santa : Very ...
