Big break today from the Depp/Heard trial, thank me in the morning.
Movie News: Black Flies is in Pre-production. A thriller about New York City paramedics and stars Sean Penn, Tye Sheridan and, ready, Mike Tyson! Okay, Mike was in Hangover 1 and 2 and Rocky Balboa, not a lot of acting chops, I don’t see Mike Tyson playing a serious role. … The Cannes Film Festival started yesterday, and a lot of surprises, first that Kevin Spacey who was blackballed in 2017 when sexual assault charges were levied, but word that Kevin’s last two movies that were never released, Peter Five Eight and Gateway to the West, will be shown for critic consideration. Still no guarantee they will ever be released. … Now that Johnny Depp has been removed from Pirates of the Caribbean, he could be replaced by a female Jackie Sparrow, Margot Robbie and Zack Efrom are possible replacement. … Kevin Costner says he can’t start shooting the next, Yellowstone, until he finishes his film, Horizon. But while it went into pre-production back in January, not one frame has been shot. No explanation, no shooting scheduled set, what’s up with that?
TV News: CBS has named it’s fall schedule and my favorites, Monday’s NCIS: Hawaii, Wednesday’s Survivor and Amazing Race, Thursday’s CSI: Las Vegas and Ghosts. Saturday’s 48 Hours and Sunday’s 60 Minutes and NCIS: Los Angeles.
Sports Shorts: One of golf’s major tournaments, the PGA, starts today and while Tiger Woods is playing, Phil Mickelson is not. Tiger calls the things Mickelson has said about the PGA was a kick in the face to the organization that made him millions and a slap in the face to past and present players, including Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.
Odds and Ends: Woody Harrelson has opened the most plush, luxurious marijuana dispensary in West Hollywood. Really first class, it’s called, The Woods.
Comment: 21 years ago, some nut put some low grade explosive in his shoes, probably not enough to blow your nose. But here we are, 21 years later, still forced to take off our shoes at airports. How ridiculous is that! Come on man.
