Things that caught my attention today.

The man who gave us Susan Ivanova (that being J. Michael Straczynski) is going to be writing Wonder Woman.  Or, more accurately, re-writing Wonder Woman with a fundamental retcon of her origin and an entirely new costume.   http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/30/books/30wonder.html?ref=arts

NBC Universal prevailed in a lawsuit by a couple who claims they came up with the idea for Ghostplumber - er, Ghost Hunters first.  (Montz v. Pilgrim Films & Television, Inc., 9th Cir., Docket No. 08-56954, 6/3/2010).

The movie Airplane! is 30 years old.  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/27/movies/27airplane.html?src=me&ref=arts


For the movie buffs out there, I also share one of my favorite games:  Cast (and assign a director if you're really a geek) the worst movie version of the 3 Musketeers ever.  My "dream team" is:

Quentin Tarantino directs Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken and James Woods as the trio.  With Dennis Hopper now deceased, I think I'd have to put Samuel L. Jackson into his slot.  Not that any of these guys are bad actors.  But they are not Musketeers.

Try this - Michael Bay directs - and after that, what does it matter who you cast? The Three Musketeers and *Ka-BOOM!* just would get weird...

C'mon, if you're going to use Tarantino anyway, you may just as well take the whole cast from Kill Bill... excepting, of course, Bill. Isn't it time for an all female rendition of the Musketeers?

How about a version directed by the Coen brothers?

Chris Weitz directs and Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Johnny Depp play the Muskateers.

Johnny Depp would be an *awesome* musketeer!
By the Coen Bros., the story takes place in Mountain Home, Idaho, and the "Musketeers" are the local motorcycle cops.
