Six Dr Seuss Books Are Ceasing Publication Over Racist Imagery

3/2/2021

From the AP:

Publication and licensing will end for the following Dr Seuss books: “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” “If I Ran the Zoo,” “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!,” and “The Cat’s Quizzer.” because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy said Tuesday.

“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement that coincided with the late author and illustrator’s birthday.

“Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families,” it said.

Snyder Cut to End with Massive Cliffhanger

2/28/2021

Zack Snyder’s Justice League, despite being arguably as definitive a statement on the Justice League as any one man could possibly hope to make, will still end on what Snyder called a “massive cliffhanger.” This, despite the fact that Snyder knows that DC has moved away from its efforts to Avengers out its personal superhero movie franchise, and that a Snyder-verse Justice League 2 is almost certainly never going to happen. But, hey: Somebody paid for all this Darkseid CGI, so they might as well use it, right?

Fast and Furious 9 Could Be Delayed Again

2/12/2021

 
Picture
Fast & Furious 9 reportedly could be delayed for another year. The action series headlined by Vin Diesel began in relatively modest fashion with the original 2001 film The Fast and the Furious, but has grown in scale (and absurdity) over the years to become one the biggest movie franchises in the world

Hollywood remains in a holding pattern while waiting to see how things play out with theater attendance and distribution of the COVID vaccine. F9 has itself already been delayed several times, and is now set for release in May 2021.

As it turns out fans could have a longer wait than expected to see Diesel, Han and the family return to screens in F9. As reported by Variety, Fast & Furious studio Universal is currently in wait-and-see mode about releasing the newest franchise installment this summer and could potentially delay it until later in the year or all the way to 2022.

From TMZ

Bam Margera acknowledged he needs help to treat his manic bipolar disorder ... one day after going on a "Jackass 4" boycott rant and opening up about suicidal tendencies.

The 'Jackass' star said he's visiting a bipolar specialist on Friday ... one day after, in his words, going "bat s**t bonkers f**king crazy." Bam said he didn't know for a year and a half whether he was going to be part of "Jackass 4" ... and it seems he got the answer he was looking for -- it's happening.
​
Bam said it's good news, for sure, and added that, in the end, everybody wins and there's no bad blood. This is a huge about-face after going on several rants Thursday morning ... from calling for a "Jackass 4" boycott to going into detail about having suicidal thoughts.

Bam Margera Fired From Jackass 4

​
Bam Margera has urged fans to boycott Jackass 4 after he was allegedly cut from the movie.

LADBible transcribed two videos that Margera posted on Instagram before they were seemingly deleted. In the videos, the Jackass prankster apparently claimed that Paramount had cut him from the upcoming fourth movie. He alleged that the studio forced multiple breathalyzer tests on him, as well as requesting urine samples and filming him take anti-depressants, per the report.

"Who the f**k cares if I'm drunk as hell anymore? Jackass has put me through hell on f**king wheels for a year-and-a-half," Margera reportedly said. "I wrote them so many ideas, and if I'm not in the movie and they use my ideas, how do you think that will make me feel? The last thing I want to do is be in a courtroom with [director] Jeff Tremaine, I love him. But f**k, man, I'm not in Jackass 4? If anybody cares about me, don't go see their movie, because I will make mine way f**king radder if you just Venmo me a dollar."Later, Margera stated that he was feeling a lot of "pain" because Jackass was "everything" to him. He then implored people to support him in creating his own production to rival Jackass 4, saying, "If anybody cares about me at all, then throw me a f**king bone and send a dollar to this Venmo and the more you send, the radder s*** we can do, and I give everyone f**king credit for it. Like, I can't compete with their $10m, ladies and gentlemen, but if I had that, I would blow them out of the f**king water."
