The sequel to Superman Returns may be delayed (not such a bad thing?) and the JLA movie may suffer as a result of the writer's strike. Not good for Warner Bros and definitely not good for those of us who have been waiting for a decent DC superhero movie to hit the big screen (OK, Batman Begins was good, but we need more than one!!!).

The Denon S-52 may be the coolest music gadget this season:

• iPod dock/charger
• 802.11 or Ethernet access to networked music libraries
• regular *and* HD Radio reception
• Denon build and sound quality

It's a shame it costs a mortgage payment.. If anyone picks one up (preferably via the link to the left), let me know how it sounds. I'll wait for a fell-off-a-truck sale.

You can get more info directly from Denon via their blog entry Strange, tho, that you can't go to blog.denon.com directly and even more strange that there's no RSS feed, but they must be doing something right it they can get people to pay $700.00 for a small device that plays music.

He was one of the better actor/singers more talented deceased than the majority of people alive on TV & in film these days.

Singer Robert Goulet dies at age 73: "LOS ANGELES -- Robert Goulet, the handsome, big-voiced baritone whose Broadway debut in 'Camelot' launched an award-winning stage and recording career, has died. He was 73. The singer died Tuesday morning in a Los Angeles hospital while awaiting a lung transplant, said Goulet spokesman Norm Johnson."

It's official. Iron Man hits the big screen in May of 2008:

Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment will kick off the 2008 summer movie-going season on May 2nd with Iron Man, the first motion picture to be produced by Marvel under its alliance with Paramount, it was announced today by Rob Moore, President, Worldwide Marketing, Distribution, and Operations, Paramount Pictures; Michael Helfant, President and COO, Marvel Studios; and Kevin Feige, president of production for Marvel Studios. Marvel Studios is a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: MVL). Jon Favreau will direct the film, based on Marvel's best-selling Iron Man comic book character.

The Iron Man film will be produced by Avi Arad, creative advisor to Marvel Studios, and Kevin Feige. Executive Producers are Ari Arad, Mr. Favreau and Louis D'Esposito. This project, the first feature film to be produced independently by Marvel Entertainment, is expected to be financed through Marvel's $525 million revolving film financing facility and distributed under Marvel's overall distribution arrangement with Paramount. Iron Man will mark the first production under Mr. Arad's newly launched production company, Avi Arad Productions.

Let's just hope they leave the not-so-hidden political agendas to the current Civil War comic series.
