Boring New ‘Avatar’ Viral Site Launches

avtr1avtr2

The upcoming film Avatar from James Cameron has a brand new viral site called AVTR.com.

Coca-Cola Zero has launched a new viral site for James Cameron’s Avatar on the “AVTR Program.” The site atAVTR.com gives you daily insight into the anthropological, biological and cultural advances the characters in the movie are making on the planet Pandora. The site says that Pandora “represents great hope for humankind.”

The site includes concept art, Twitter and Facebook links, the daily Blog and a video intro of Stephen Lang as Colonel Quaritch (using a sound bite you’ll hear in the movie when Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) first gets to Pandora.)

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE NEW SITE

To me the site is a bit lackluster, considering how technologically advanced the movie is supposed to be. I guess marketing is marketing, anything helps. I wish this movie looked more exciting to me, but it just looks like a cool animated film to me.

Patrick Swayze Wanted Children

patrick-swayze-lisa-niemi

Just a week after he lost his battle against pancreatic cancer, details from Patrick Swayze‘s autobiography, The Time Of My Life, are being leaked.  The most heartbreaking one so far, Patrick longed to be a father with his wife Lisa Niemi, but they lost a baby due to a miscarriage.

“I couldn’t wait to become a dad, to have a child with this woman I loved so dearly,” Swayze writes in The Time Of My Life. “And I wanted to be the best father I could be — the kind of father my dad had been to me.”

Recalling Lisa’s miscarriage, Patrick wrote, “I felt completely crushed with grief.

“We wanted to try again, but the loss had been so devastating that we just couldn’t do it right away. We figured we had plenty more years ahead of us. Eventually, we did start trying again hoping Lisa would get pregnant.

“But she never did.”

Oh my goodness how heartbreaking. I had been hearing a lot of questions from people on why Patrick and Lisa never had children, and now we know. What a terrible ordeal for these two.

‘Basterds’ Bad Guy Christoph Waltz to Play ‘Green Hornet’ Villain

christoph_waltz

Christoph Waltz, the bad guy from Inglourious Basterds has been cast as the villain in the upcoming film The Green Hornet.

The Austrian actor, who’s been fielding an avalanche of praise (including the best actor award at Cannes) for his role as a nefariously charming Nazi colonel in Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, has been cast as the heavy opposite Seth Rogen in Columbia’s latest feature about a masked crime fighter. Waltz joins Cameron Diaz and Asian pop star Jay Chou in the cast.

Rogen and Evan Goldberg wrote the screenplay, inspired by the radio series created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker in the 1930s. Michel Gondry is directing the potential franchise-starter for a December 2010 release.

His character in Inglourious Basterds was brilliant in my opinion, up there with some of the very best movie villains ever. I can’t wait to see what he pulls off in The Green Hornet.

Sean Connery Leaving Retirement for ‘Indiana Jones 5′?

sean_connery_older1226353743

Rumors are spreading that Sean Connery may come out of retirement to play Indie’s dad once again in the upcoming unnamed sequel Indiana Jones 5.

The 79-year-old actor turned down the chance to reprise his role as the father of the daredevil archaeologist in last movie ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’, and the script hinted his character Professor Henry Jones had passed away.

However, creators on the next movie, the fifth in the hugely successful franchise, are planning to bring Henry back.

A source said: “Steven Spielberg has been working on a script with George Lucas and there is an element of the story that could see Sean returning. Anything is possible in these movies and if Sean wants to return he will become central to the new story.”

Earlier this week, Harrison Ford – who plays the title character – revealed he is ready to reprise the role.

He said: “The story for the new ‘Indiana Jones’ is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work.

“If the script is good, I’ll be very happy to put the costume on again.”

I personally believe these are vacuous, ridiculous rumors. Not to say I wouldn’t love for it to be true, but Connery has publicly announced he is done acting.

Kim Zolciak – You Are NOT Barbie (Photos)

Kim Zolciak at VH1 DIvas

I couldn’t help but notice The Real Houswives of NYC’s, Kim Zolciak at VH1 Divas the other night.  Look at that dress! It looks ridiculous.  I can see a 12 year girl dressing in that, pretending she is Barbie.  But come on Kim! It looks silly on you!  Pretty much like you’re trying way too hard to hang on to your youth that left you years ago.  Yes, Kim is still hot.  BUT, there are much better styles that would compliment her and not make her look like she is trying so hard.

Kinda sad when Miley Cyrus knows how to dress better than a grown woman, huh?

Melissa Taylor, Kimberly Phillips, Karissa Shannon, Crystal Harris, Hugh Hefner, Kristina Shannon and Crystal McCahill all joined their man, Hugh out in Los Angeles to  sell lemonade and Playboy bottled water in order to raise money for the LA AIDS walk.

Good for them!  I am always for a good cause and this one has benefits for everyone!  Thanks for contributing, Hef!
