I'm the Unknown Stuntman That Makes Eastwood Look So Fine

  • I dunno if any of you have heard of the play The Normal Heart, which focuses on a guy named Ned Weeks during the early days of the AIDS epidemic, but Mark Ruffalo revealed that he’s set to play the lead in a movie adaptation. Also, that Ryan Murphy (“Glee”) is involved in a capacity not yet known. (Collider)

  • That low-key, decidedly not that scary Paranormal Activity 2 trailer we posted the other day? Out in Texas, a Cinemark theater had to pull it after too many parents complained it was too scary for those in attendance for Eclipse, which — by the way — is a PG-13 movie. And that’s all you need to know about the typical audience for Twilight. (Variety)

  • For those who like to follow the late-night talk wars without actually having to watch a late-night show, you might be pleased to note that — during his first full quarter back on the air — Jay Leno’s ratings were the lowest they have been since David Letterman debuted on CBS back in 1993. (Deadline)

  • According to the scoop thieves over at The LA Times, there’s a Fall Guy movie in the works, although I put its chances of making it through the development process after the lackluster box-office of The A-Team at about 24 percent. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good excuse to post one of the greatest theme songs of all time. Play us out, Lee Majors:

    • I might jump an open drawbridge, or Tarzan from a vine...

    One of the greats. Thank you.

    Hey, as long as they keep Johnny Drama the hell away from The Fall Guy. That bastard is the weakest part of Five Towns.

    I don't get what anyone sees in Mark Ruffalo. That's all.

    I love The Fall Guy theme song so much. I had a teacher in middle school that was friends with Lee Majors. The teacher would pick his nose in class and nap during tests. We could get out our history text books and look up answers because he was snoozing. I want to say his name was Mr. Budd.....


    Wait, what are we talking about?

    I fucking LOVE The Fall Guy!

    Lee Majors was the SHIT in The Night the Reindeer Died.

    A Fall Guy movie actually makes more sense than a lot of these '80s remakes. I mean, come on: A Hollywood stuntman going on adventures? How does that not scream for awesome?

    Of course, they will give it to some jackalope director that will violate the whole appeal of the show by shoving CGI in there all which a ways.

    I hate being so jaded.

    Vermilion, I agree 100% this could work.

    Now I am going to decide on whether or not I am happy about the Fall Guy song being stuck in my head.

    One of the first "wavs" I ever downloaded online way back in the dark ages of the internet was the Fall Guy theme.

    If this movie does actually come to fruition, I hope they give Lee Majors a small role of some sort. Love him.

    Figgy and EJ, how can you not? He's adorable! and hot! I also love 13 Going On 30 and he was great in that.
