Entertainment Tonight broke the news that comedian George Carlin passed away at 5:00 PM, Sunday afternoon, from heart failure. He was 71.

His contributions to society were never something you could quantify, buy, sell, or use in your home. It’d be hard to get better gas mileage with them and even harder to clean the carpet with. They were items for the soul, as cheesy as that seems. Laughter at things you weren’t meant to laugh at. Giggling at taboo subjects that everyone talked about anyways. His impacts may have not huge on the big screen, but his styling were felt far and wide. Very few aspects were not touched by him in some way, whether the effects were direct or not. From the movie community, the music community, Food Network to ESPN, New York to L.A. may he R.I.P.

Len Wiseman is suiting up to direct New Line’s “Gears of War,” based on Microsoft and Epic Games’ hit vidgame.

Dion:  Well Gears of War being one of the biggest games in video games,  the director has alot of weight on his shoulders to make this movie a blockbuster.  Wiseman has directed movies such as Underworld, Underworld 2, and the new Die Hard 4 Movie.   I think this movie will be done well considering it will have a huge budget.  Only time will tell.  You can also expect to see Kate Beckinsale in this movie considering she is married to the director.

New Line had initially aimed for a summer 2009 release for the pic, but further development on the project now will likely delay that plan.

After the online petition to make Uwe Boll stop directing movies increased in popularity and he got wind of it, Boll issued a very angry video reponse to it where he specifically disrespected Michael Bay. Bay, after seeing this video responded with equal disrespect towards Boll, who now wants to settle things Man on Man, as men do it, in the boxing ring. If this ever gets going, if Bay agrees to it, I’m guessing the fight will be more epic then any Ali fight ever could have been. The best part is, there really is no winner or loser. You can root for whoever you want and will be happy they are both being physically hurt regardless. Although I’m sure Boll is doing all of this just to boost the sales of his movies, he’s taking the internets as serious business, which as most should know, is a big no-no. Who should win the fight? What if there was no winner and both knocked eachother out in one final kung-fu double punch? What are the Vegas odds going to be on this? Questions soon to be answered if Bay accepts.
