My Rule of Thumb For Books

Yeah, don't judge a book by its cover, blah blah blah, but I've seen enough books at Target and Barnes & Noble to know not to purchase a book if the cover art in any way looks like the clipart they use for DoorDash, corporate websites and Powerpoint presentations.

I AVOID. Here are more examples:

Some Hollywood Movie Ideas Based on Glitter Tattoo Names

A declining box office has forced Hollywood's major studios to scramble for the next big blockbuster franchise. But since almost every novel, comic book, original script, adapted script and short story idea has already been turned into a movie, the next place to look for ideas is from Glitter Tattoo names from a gumball machine in a Pump It Up trampoline park in Roselle Park, New Jersey.

Here now are all the script ideas already in development with the names attached to the projects:

"Crowned Heart" starring George Clooney, Aldis Hodge and Karen Gillan

Two pediatricians (Clooney and Hodge) help an exceptional child with a chronic illness find his voice and inspire his entire school. Karen Gillan plays the aggrieved mother.

---------------

"Flying Dragon" starring Simu Liu, Ali Wong and Alex Winter

Two karaoke singers (Liu and Winter) are mistaken for Chinese gangsters and need to find the real culprits to clear their name within 24 hours. Also starring Clancy Brown as Police Sergeant Mudworth.

---------------

"Dancing Dolphins" directed by Mira Sorvino. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Minoso, Sophia Bush, and Paula Patton

This script is still being developed under tight wraps. but all we know so far is that it's being filmed in Florida and Weta Workshop is developing the special fx. Lizzo, P!nk and Sam Smith are recording the soundtrack.

 

The Conflict Between the Heroes of "Goo Hit Zu: Galaxy Attack" Gets Ugly

The ongoing so-called "Galaxy Attack" conflict between the Sun Fire Blazagon and the Dark Matter Terrack has reached its eight year in a "Cosmic Fury", prompting those witnessing the conflict to question if there is an end in sight or if the two sides will engage in battle forever.

The self-professed "Super Gooey" Sun Fire Blazagon has never been above personal attacks, calling his opponent a "race traitor to cosmic dinosaurs" and suggesting on Twitter that Terrack sexually harasses his interns. He's also taken out full-sized hologram ads on the Galactic News Feed urging the Goo Hit Zu authorities to inspect Terrack's home for illegal stretch steroids.

Not one to stand down from a fight, the indignant "Dark Matter" Terrack has replied to Blazagon's accusations, saying he's a "lying sack of goo" and insisting he's always been transparent about not using steroids. "SEE MY BONES!" he insists, "I'M SUPER SCRUNCHY!" Terrack has most recently driven by Blazagon's house and thrown dark matter at his dog and children.

The two are expected to debate next Friday at the Galactic Union Hall. Sun Fire fans and Dark Matter enthusiasts are expected to clash, so added security has been hired by the authorities.
