Odds and Ends 8/17/17 Nature Boy and other stuff...

My Mom knew a guy who claimed that he once worked as a bodyguard for Ric Flair... Yes, THAT Ric Flair. The guy was like 5'7" and barely weighs 120 when wet. *I* Kicked his ass once. Used to feel bad about the Nature Boy if HE was his bodyguard. Personal story aside, I AM worried about Ric Flair's current condition. Apparently, he's in worse condition than they thought. I hope he gets better.

A Star Wars movie that makes sense MAY BE HAPPENING... No, it's not a Vader film, but an Obi Wan Kenobi Solo film... Please be an Obi Wan in Tatooine looking after a Young Luke Skywalker from the shadows. Apparently, Stephen Daldry will be at the helm. I'm a bit worried about the Han Solo movie with those rumors about it being Ace Ventura in space...

March 29, 2019 is gonna suck... Dumbo in Live Action...
Tim Burton directing... The only good thing so far is Neither Depp nor HBC seem to be involved with this... We have Michael Keaton, Colin Farrell, Eva Green, and Danny De Vito in it... and Alan Arkin who just joined the cast... But Live Action Dumbo? I mean, it's not Lion King levels of wrong, but still...

And there has been VERY LITTLE PROGRESS ON THAT MGS Movie...

“Right now what we’re trying to write is the craziest, punk rock, Kojima, rock and roll, like ‘holy shit they’re going to try to make that movie that does this in that many time periods?!’ Like it’s special. Whether we can execute on that script, whether we can get it made, who knows. But right now, I truly believe that the target is in the right direction, and so we’ll see what happens from there.”

The Bold part worries me... This may be a Shadow Moses movie but with elements from other games intertwined... Guessing Outer Heaven, Zanzibar Land, Maybe even Tselinoyarsk... Hell, due to Liquid we might even get Africa... Whoa HOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAA!!! Dude, that's like 5 games... The dude might be getting a bit too ambitious.
