| Looks like another "black eye" for Reese. Mrawrararharhar. |
Reese Witherspoon had a bad weekend. She kicked it off early Friday morning by getting all do-you-know-who-I-am on a police officer in Atlanta. Reese and her husband had too much to drink when he got behind the wheel of a Ford Fusion. So, while he was being arrested for DUI, she decided to make a horse's rear out of herself and berate the police. It's a timeless ploy: I'm famous and therefore cleared to go crazy. Let's examine a couple of her best drunken roadside quotes...
"Do you know my name?" Classic! When the cop said he didn't need to, Reese followed it up with, "You're about to find out who I am..." Nice work, Miss Witherspoon. You even freshened it up a bit with that one. To her credit, the actress apologized in a statement and basically owned up to acting like a doofus. Credit where it's due.
Blockbuster Season
I spent some time this weekend getting excited about all the cinematic spectacle headed our way this summer. Iron Man 3 is less than two weeks away, followed up by Man of Steel and Star Trek Into Darkness.
Since Iron Man and Superman get things going, expect to see our Top Ten superhero movie rankings on the blog before May 3. There have been so many in the explosion of the past four or five years, it's going to be a lot harder to sort out than it used to be.
Superman
Warner Bros. wants to get their own Marvel-style cinematic universe started and if this Superman bombs, their plans for the future are bleeeaak. Anybody see Green Lantern? That one was more like blech.
I rewatched Superman Returns this weekend and I have a lot of renewed feelings on where that film fell short and how the new direction and tone of Man of Steel will fare in relation to what both Bryan Singer and Richard Donner did with the character. So expect to see some ramblings about that in the very near future as well. Either in the form of a Man of Steel review or a preemptive shot across the bow, comparing all three films.
