As the writers strike continues and various awards shows are cancelled, here are a few more signs that the Devil is holding Hollywood hostage with a pitchfork:
- Sundance apparently blows.
- Other directors are definitely being considered for The Hobbit. Not that I think Guillermo Del Toro is a bad choice, but seriously, Peter Jackson might turn down the Hobbit so that he can make a live action version of Tintin? Are you fucking kidding me?
- Paul Haggis’ crapfest Crash is being turned into a miniseries.
- The New Kids on the Block are a bunch of reunion-teasing jerks. It’s on? It’s off? Give it to me straight! And please, don’t have Danny break it to me if there’s no tour. At least give me something nice to look at while I’m hearing bad news.

Ugh, neither you or CNN mentioned Choke…you’re both fired.
