Things that made me chuckle (1)

I've always been a big fan of 'The Onion' - there's a handful of their regular columnists that are guaranteed to raise a smile (Gorzo The Mighty, of course, and Larry Groznic). But best of all is Smoove B (Love Man).

I just came across this masterpiece :

Smoove B's Political Goals For 2009

"Smoove is not a political man. However, during the most recent election, something changed for Smoove. He has found a purpose. A new desire.

I will make Michelle Obama my woman, body and soul."

Read the whole thing here.

Genius.

Martin Campbell - Green Lantern Movie

As I mentioned in an earlier post it seems a Green Lantern movie is just a little bit closer to getting off the ground. Despite Greg Berlanti (Broken Hearts Club, Dawson's Creek, Brothers and Sisters) being linked to the project, the latest rumour is that Martin Campbell, the director of James Bond movies 'GoldenEye' and 'Casino Royale' has been approached to bring the story of Hal Jordan to the screen.

Ryan Gosling has been linked to the title role, but with Martin Campbell on board who knows, perhaps 007 Daniel Craig might be persuaded to play the test-pilot-turned-galactic-policeman. Campbell is currently directing Mel Gibson in a remake of Edge of Darkness (which he directed for the BBC in 1985) - scheduled for a 2009 release.

Variety's story has been picked up by the movie sites, so it looks like we may finally get to see the long-awaited Green Lantern movie in a year or two.
