A red-band trailer of Tropic Thunder, releasing August 15 from Paramount/DreamWorks, has now gone live online, and it’s a nice, short piece of gung-ho war parody, even if all it does is basically slap up costumed pictures of the cast and have them yell and/or fire a weapon. Be advised, though, that you’ll have to access the stumper question of your birth date. Tricky, that…

Sharon Stone, Vagina Turn 50
Ahh, it’s a happy 50th birthday to Sharon Stone and her celebrated vagina, which helped propel 1992’s deliciously demented Basic Instinct to a whopping $350 million worldwide, inclusive of $117 million Stateside, a phenomenal figure for an R-rated non-action flick. Let’s not talk about 2006’s sequel, meanwhile, which I’d like to pretend doesn’t exist, for many reasons.
Oh, and roundhouse kick enthusiast and Mike Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris turns 68 today, too. So beware knocks on your door, because it could be a roundhouse-kick-o-gram. Disguised as Stone’s vagina. Granted, those odds are pretty slim, I guess. But who wants to tempt fate?
Karl Rove Mocked at Iowa Speech
So I don’t feel bad at all about erstwhile Republican kingmaker Karl Rove being fairly righteously taunted during a speech yesterday
at the University of Iowa (a speech for which he was paid $40,000, incidentally), but I do give him solid smack-retort credit for part of his response — “Worse than the person who introduced aluminum
baseball bats?” — after being told by an audience member that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann named him the “worst person ever.” Well played, Karl. Though I don’t know if this guy, on the left, finds it quite as funny…
When Kittens Attack
Nice clowning of Cloverfield, this photo. Either that, or the cat just really hates liberty.
