Movies and Junk

Jon Stewart at Oscar, Critic Approved - The critics have spoken on Jon Stewart's Oscar performance and they declare it good. Their criteria seem to be that some people laughed and no one was offended. At this point I don't know why they bother with a host since he basically just opens the show, introduces the next presenter and then says "good night!".

From Lex to Freddy? - Michael Rosenbaum, on probably his last full season as Lex Luthor on Smallville, was apparently seen having a business lunch with Michael Bay. From that has come the rumors that Rosenbaum was meeting either for the lead Freddy Krueger role in the Nightmare remake or a voice in Transformers. Or it could have just been lunch and probably talking about some new starlets they are banging.

Bourne 4 - Universal plans on making a 4th Bourne movie with agreements from star Matt Damon and Director Paul Greengrass. Details on when, what, and so forth as it’s too new for those details. There was a 4th Bourne book but the movie series never followed the book series anyway except with the use of some names.

iTunes #2 Music Retailer - The success of iTunes continues has it has jumped past Best Buys and Amazon to claim the number 2 spot for selling the most music. The reason was its 4 billion songs sold last year. All that is left is Wal-Mart. This is why Amazon has started digital downloads and while the music industry, despite hating the lack of control iTunes gives them, continues to do business with Apple.
