Jason Statham in the MCU in the new Blade movie as Van Helsing? I'm so down for that

Statham was initially said to be interested in playing Daredevil, but he’s now 53 years old and the studio want someone much younger to play Matt Murdock if Charlie Cox doesn’t return. As such, they’ve floated the idea of him joining Blade instead as Van Helsing.

The original Blade trilogy was heavy on martial arts action, and Statham definitely fits that particular bill. That being said, it remains to be seen if he’d want to take a supporting role in the MCU when his stock is at an all-time high following the success of The Meg and his continued involvement in the Fast and Furious franchise. Either way, it seems Van Helsing will definitely appear in the film and that in and of itself is very exciting news.

WWE is saddened to learn that James Harris, known to WWE fans as Kamala, has passed away at age 70.
Under the frightening face paint of Kamala, the 6-foot-7, 380-pound Harris battled the greatest Superstars in sports-entertainment history, including Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker and Andre the Giant.
He terrorized opponents and thrilled audiences in Mid-South, World Class Championship Wrestling, WCW and WWE until 2006.
WWE extends its condolences to Harris' family, friends and fans.

Marty Jannetty posted a bizarre story on Facebook yesterday where it sounded like he murdered a man who tried to molest him when he was 13 years old. A police investigation was started in response to his story, and now Jannetty is trying to clarify what exactly happened. Here is how he described the situation to the Boston Wrestling Sports show.

He first goes on about misleading headlines that, according to him, falsely claimed he admitted to murder:

“I said he disappeared, I didn’t say I killed him. I said he disappeared.”

Jannetty describes the scene in a little bit of detail. There was a weed exchange inside the man’s car, and then the man inappropriately groped him. Marty fled the car, but the man chased him and pinned him on the ground in broad daylight, attempting to unzip his pants. That’s when Jannetty explains how he escaped:

“There was a brick laying there...what do you do when you’re 13?”

“I can’t say he deserved to die, but he deserved to get his ass beat. And when I was beating him in the head with a brick, I was only trying to beat his ass, I wasn’t trying to kill him.”

“My brother Geno, bad boy, not one to mess with. And I never could tell him, ‘cause I know what he would have done if I told him. But I already took care of it myself...No other kids never had to worry about him.”

Jannetty then turns the story into a disturbing lesson about how he can’t stand jealousy, and how that’s the only reason he even told this story to begin with.

“Can you imagine dragging him to the river and throwing him in? And then finding out on the news this guy is missing? And you know the dude. And you know more than that...I made my mind up that day...nobody would ever hurt me again. And that comes with jealousy. My girlfriends are jealous. I can’t stand jealousy, and I was just trying to let her know that.”

This mostly sounds to me like the description of a man who died on the scene, but Marty wants you to know that’s not what he’s saying:

“I’m not saying right now that he died, but I’m just saying a person don’t need to die because they’re fucked up in the head.”

Finally, he reveals some advice that a friend offered him:

“Somebody told me not to do any interviews...”

A Midnight Sons movie has been rumored to be in the works for a while now, of course, and Marvel would no doubt be happy to acquiesce to Keanu Reeves’ demands if it results in him joining the franchise. While we likely won’t hear any official news on this for a while, even on paper the idea of his Ghost Rider heading an all-star lineup that could potentially involve the likes of Doctor Strange, Moon Knight, the Punisher and Blade as they embark on a supernatural adventure is a mouth-watering prospect
​
Talks between Reeves and Marvel Studios had moved to the advanced stage of negotiations, with the 55 year-old reportedly keen on the idea that the Johnny Blaze version of Ghost Rider could be the role that finally convinces him to join the world’s biggest franchise – after Kevin Feige previously admitted that they approach him for almost every movie that the studio makes.

Of course, fans are already more than on board with the idea of seeing the John Wick star assuming the mantle of the Spirit of Vengeance and while it’s still yet to be confirmed if he’ll officially sign up for the role, we’ve now heard that Reeves wants to play a prominent part in the MCU if he agrees to tackle Ghost Rider.

Marty Jannetty’s social media has surprised fans before. It seems like he recently told an old story where he admitted to making a man “disappear.”

Jannetty logged onto Facebook and he posted a story about when he was 13. He was buying marijuana from a man that he referred to with a homophobic slur. This man allegedly tried to drag a young Jannetty around a bowling alley where he was working. This is when Jannetty apparently made a man “disappear” for the first time.

"I never told no one this, even my brother Geno.. cause Geno would’ve killed him, and I didn’t want my brother gone,, hell he’d only recently came home from Vietnam. I was 13, working at Victory Lanes bowling alley buying weed from a f*g that worked there… and he put his hands on me.. he dragged me around to the back of the building.. you already know what he was gonna try to do.

That was the very first time I made a man disappear.. they never found him.. they shoulda looked in the Chattahoochee River.. but Winnie (the girl in these pics) I likes you do damn much, probably my favorite.. but I promised myself way back then, nobody would ever hurt me again… that includes you… I loved you but you hurt me with your f*ckin Jamaican jealously.. you can go your own way, I don’t need you."

We’re not 100% sure what is going on with Marty Jannetty. It’s impossible to ever really tell with him. This is still a rather concerning story to hear, no matter the context

From Fox News:

The NW Film Center canceled an Aug. 6 outdoor screening of the 1990 movie "Kindergarten Cop," starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, after it was excoriated on Twitter for glorifying the traumatization of children by police and compared to "Birth of a Nation" and "Gone with the Wind."

The movie stars Schwarzenegger as a detective who goes undercover as a kindergarten teacher in order to root out a drug dealer whose child may be one of the students in the class. It was filmed in Astoria, Ore., and turns 30 in December of this year.

The NWFC chose it "for its importance in Oregon filmmaking history," according to a press release. However, their stance quickly changed following a Saturday tweetstorm by left-leaning Portland author Lois Leveen.

Leveen went on a Twitter rant six tweets long about how the film is exploitative and has no comedic or redeeming qualities. She also referenced a "school-to-prison" pipeline and claimed the police frequently arrest American children and throw them in jail.
"What's so funny about School-to-Prison pipeline? Kindergarten Cop-Out: Tell @nwfilmcenter there's nothing fun in cops traumatizing kids. National reckoning on overpolicing is a weird time to revive Kindergarten Cop. IRL, we are trying to end school-to-prison pipeline."

— Lois Leveen (@LoisLeveen) August 1, 2020

In an email to Willamette Week, Leveen likened the Schwarzenegger vehicle to Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind:

It's true Kindergarten Cop is only a movie. So are Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind, but we recognize films like those are not 'good family fun.'…They are relics of how pop culture feeds racist assumptions. Because despite what the movie shows…in reality, schools don't transform cops. Cops transform schools, and in an extremely detrimental way.
​
This news comes following a public backlash against HBO Max after it removed "Gone with the Wind" from its platform in June. The network was forced to reinstate the cinema classic but included additional content, meant to contextualize the movie, in the form of two recorded conversations.

One of the most beloved television comedies is making a comeback. A Who’s the Boss? sequel is in development at Sony Pictures Television.

Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano are on board to reprise their iconic roles as Tony and Samantha Micelli, a father/daughter relationship that families around the world grew up with over the course of 196 episodes on ABC from 1984-92.

The new show will take place 30 years after the events of the original series, centered around former Major League Baseball player/retired housekeeper Tony Micelli and his relationship with his daughter Samantha Micelli. She is now a single mother, living in the house the original series was set in. In line with Norman Lear’s classic shows, the new comedy will explore generational differences, as well as opposing world views and parenting styles within the dynamic of a modern family in 2020.

Original cast members Judith Light (Angela) and Danny Pintauro (Jonathan) are supportive of the new series, and the hope is to find creative ways to work them and their characters into the show. The cast remains very close to this day. The other standout cast member, Katherine Helmond (Mona), passed away on February 23, 2019.
