Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Oct. 14, 2007
It wasn’t an overly active week in the world of film, but a few things managed to get people buzzing. The Warner Brothers P.R. nightmare seemed to get the most attention, despite the fact that it was all based on hearsay and was later denied. There were also a number of big casting announcements for the next Star Trek movie that left a lot of people somewhat dumbfounded: Simon Pegg and John Cho as Scotty and Sulu? Who’d a thunk it? There was also a small controversy over Fox’s possible sanitization of the upcoming Hitman film, although they also have since denied it and tried to reassure everyone that it will still be rated R.

what is the video for this crazy burger pic?
Posted by Julien on October 15th, 2007It’s actually a promo picture from Harold and Kumar. I don’t know if there’s a video for it, but if so, I’d love to see it!
