Hmmm. I wish I could watch the interview MTV had with Jack Nicholson. I can’t tell if he’s kidding or not.

The first line makes you think he is being sarcastic and then he keeps going on about it. Maybe he really is pissed. He should know that he is a bit too old to be The Joker again, right? What do you guys think?

You can view the entire interview here.

MTV: What do you think of another actor, Heath Ledger, playing the Joker in next summer’s4 “The Dark Knight”?

Nicholson: Let me be the way I’m not in interviews. I’m furious. I’m furious. [He laughs.] They never asked me about a sequel with the Joker. I know how to do that! Nobody ever asked me.

Into the Wild is an adaptation of a book by John Krakauer. The book was an expansion of an article written by Krakauer that appeared in Outside, based on the journals of Christopher McCandless.

The movie starts at a run. The main character Christopher McCandless (Emille Hirsch) is walking into the wilderness to presumably live off the land, with everything he needs on his back. The story then backtracks, beginning two years ago at college graduation and then skipping ahead in chapters titled, describing the development of any man. Intermittent are scenes of the present with Christopher in Alaska as he learns to survive completely independent of society.

Yes yes. The time is here again. Time to find out what kind of crap is floating around the internet in regards to movie news.

• I don’t know how many Heroes fans we have out there, but NBC has supposedly pulled the plug on that Heroes: Origins you may or may not have been hearing about. New characters that were to be introduced this season were supposed to be spun off into this origin show while Heroes was on hiatus. I don’t know if it’s due to the writer strike or if NBC realized that this season of Heroes blows. I think they should not worry about making a new show until they fix the problems with the show now.
• If I could type out The X-Files theme song, I would do that here. Let me try. Doo doo doo doo doo doo. Not quite successful. Anyway, production begins Dec. 10th on the X-Files 2 movie with a release on July 25th, 2008. Not quite sure how I feel about this. It doesn’t feel right. Or left.
• Ah yes, how about some Batman? I commented last week on the pumpkin at whysoserious.com slowly rotting away with potential information on Halloween. Well, that turned out to be kind of lame. The pumpkin was replaced with a bit of a scavenger hunt. The site required people from all over the country to go to specific locations, take a picture of what they saw, and send it in to complete the puzzle. After every city had sent it in, we were given this. Yes, I know what the Joker looks like already. Give me some Two-Face. But not all is lost. Another site has come up in its place, rorysdeathkiss.com is now asking for fans to send in a picture of themselves in Joker make-up in front of their city’s biggest landmark. We’ll keep you posted if anything awesome pops up.
