Back in April it was revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger was in talks to take the lead role in the The Last Stand , a Western about a broken down sheriff who must stand-up to a drug cartel and save his town. That project got pushed aside by Cry Macho , the fifth Terminator film , and some screaming infidelities , but now Deadline reports it’s back on — with a start-date scheduled for September. It looks like Arnold is back. Again. [ Deadline ]
It’s the unofficial 84th birthday of our favorite chain convenience store, 7-Eleven , meaning two things: First, you’re entitled to a free Slurpee (at all participating locations) and second, it’s as good a time as any to look back at some of the best scenes set in 7-Eleven-like establishments in movie history. Who knew that one-stop-shop marts were appropriate settings for pregnancy scares, super-human cyborgs, Michael Bay-directed hold-ups and most frightening of all, a skinny, ’90s era Alec Baldwin in a track suit?
Sgt. Scott Moore may seem like a typical marine stationed in Afghanistan, but he’s got more nerve and charisma than the whole of the internet. In a video he made overseas dedicated to Mila Kunis, he invited the Friends with Benefits star to attend a Marines ball in North Carolina with him. And who helped cajole Kunis to accepting the date? Her patriotic co-star, of course! The video, posted by Moore under the YouTube handle “GoWithMeMila,” follows.
Last month, Fox News host Glenn Beck retired the cable television iteration of his talk show and left the airwaves, promising his fans a two-hour online show on GBTV — his subscription-based Internet network — and other vague, “exciting” projects that he could not yet discuss. Today, the polarizing figure (and surprising Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark fan ) revealed that those mysterious projects involve film, TV and radio studios that he is constructing in Dallas, Texas. Cue the sinister organ music or Kool & the Gang depending on your mood!
The story of Steven Spielberg’s career beginnings — including how he fled a tour group at Universal and earned his first internship by asking staffers about their jobs — is oft-told, but when you’re the most influential filmmaker of a generation, your origin tale is always relevant. In a new video with his Cowboys & Aliens collaborators Jon Favreau, Brian Grazer, and Ron Howard, Spielberg sheds light on a time when Searchers director (and general legend) John Ford cursed him out. It is mesmerizing.
Liv Tyler ends an unusually long break from the movies this year, first with the wild dark comedy Super and today with The Ledge , in which she co-stars as the troubled, born-again Christian wife in the middle of a fundamentalist husband (Patrick Wilson) and hunky atheist neighbor (Charlie Hunnam) sandwich. Faith, sex, love, and mortality collide in writer-director Matthew Chapman’s potboiler, which culminates in a suicide showdown also featuring Terrence Howard. It’s madness! But it’s also, as always, a pleasure to see Tyler back onscreen — where she has a confirmed interest to return even more frequently in the months and years ahead.
By the midpoint of any moviegoing year, the previous January seems like ancient history. Was it really just six months ago that I trudged off to witness the stupendously dumb spectacle that was Season of the Witch ? Seems like eons.
Tensions run high, and couples often make poor decisions in the heat of the moment. Given the mountain of financial, practical and emotional details that have to be sorted, it’s not surprising so many couples wind up making critical mistakes on the road to divorce. Simple Ways To Enjoy Your Life 1- Don’t Increase Your Debt Divorce is expensive. On top of attorney’s fees, you will need money to set up a new household. Though it may be difficult to make ends meet, you should get used to having less now. Remember, your legal bills and court costs may come due before you receive your first payment of alimony or even your share of the marital property. 2- Don’t Take It Out On the Kids Children need a supportive environment to deal with divorce. Minimize the amount you talk about the process. It will give you more time to be there for them. Refocus your energy so you can attend their school and after-school events, help them with homework, and take them out once in a while to the movies or the zoo. When you are relaxed, they get more relaxed. Though you should be comfortable talking with your children about the divorce, the point of this divorce is to relieve stress on you and your family. 3- Don’t Forget to Change Your Will Divorce does not automatically revoke a will. If you want to prevent your soon-to-be-ex-spouse from receiving the monies and privileges granted them in your will, you need to update your will. You can re-do a will at any time. But if you die before you are granted a divorce, and you have left your spouse nothing, he or she can sue and recover part of your estate. 4- Don’t Refuse to See a Therapist Seeing a therapist can help you get through the range of emotions that you will experience during your divorce. It is a good idea to get help before you become extremely depressed or angry. A therapist is not just someone to talk to. They are also a professional who can show you how to relax, how to talk to your kids, and how to remain calm in court. Most importantly, a therapist can help you figure out how to become self-sufficient. How A Few Minutes Of Talk Can Save Your Marriage
Let’s face it- It’s easier to control your weight when you’re single and only planning meals for one. You eat on your own schedule and you’d rather stay in and throw together a salad than go to that new steak house down the street ALONE. While dating has its perks, it also has its pounds. I’ve noticed that when I’m dating someone, my sleeping and eating schedules totally change: I blame the few extra pounds on boyfriends . Usually when I wake up, I look forward to a great shuffle playlist on my iPod during a half hour of yoga and to catching up on the latest “Housewives” episode on the elliptical. But when I wake up to the comfiest cuddles ever , my morning priorities change. I’d rather stay in bed as late as possible even when I know I’ll end up needing to sprint to the subway and suffer the consequential blisters later. So I’m going to point my finger at boyfriends when it comes to giving you better things to do than tone your almost-abs in the morning. I’ll admit it – even when I’m single, I indulge in some loving time with Ben and Jerry’s (of course they have to be MEN). Ehhh, I’m also a huge supporter and avid consumer of dollar beers on Wednesdays. So maybe it’s not totally his fault, but the bottom line is, he will always find a reason for me to skip my boot camp class and get those delicious cupcakes from the bakery instead. Okay, okay, just because he’s ordering a double cheeseburger with curly fries and a large soda doesn’t mean that I need to copy and challenge him to an eating contest . But let’s be real – my garden salad with grilled chicken is not nearly as appetizing when it’s served next to his mouth-watering (and calorie-packed) meal. Of course I’ll end up stealing some fries and then order the biggest brownie dessert that they have to make up for my rabbit food meal. Somehow, his ravenous meal doesn’t weigh him down the next morning even though I’ll be on the phone with my trainer begging to reschedule for a sooner appointment. So maybe he isn’t physically shoving the extra calories down my throat. The point is, dating makes it really easy to turn your once healthy schedule into a “dude schedule” that involves pizza, the couch, the most comfortable shoulder pillow ever , and an episode of “Top Gear.” So even when the bro meals sound tempting, stay true to your body and your habits: eat dinner before the movies and avoid the oh-so-tempting buttery popcorn and candy, and when he’s doing his own thing. use that time to tone up your soon-to-be six-pack ! 7 Ways To Glam Up Your Walk Of Shame How To Make A Long Distance Relationship Work Let’s Text About Sex, Baby
It’s Hermione vs. Snape and Ron vs. Sirius in a showdown for the title of best ‘Potter’ character. By Terri Schwartz Photo: Warner Bros. With only four days left to vote in MTV News’ “Harry Potter” World Cup , the competition is heating up as the contestants narrow down. The Final Four “Harry Potter” characters were revealed Friday (July 8), and now Hermione Granger faces off against Professor Snape while Ron Weasley has a showdown with Sirius Black . It’s anyone’s call as to who will make it into the finals, let alone take home the trophy. “It gets down to who fans really want to see take this entire tournament home,” said Julia Hodges of DanRadcliffe.com and RupertGrint.net . Even with the stakes raised so high, the “Harry Potter” experts MTV has been chatting with have their own gut feelings about who is going to make it into the final round. And, according to Rosie Halse of the Leaky Cauldron , this is Hermione’s last hurrah. “This is where Hermione is going to fall down, unfortunately,” Halse predicted. “I love Hermione to pieces, but I think that Snape has a much more ardent following. He has so many twists and turns in the book, whereas Hermione is quite a constant character that perhaps Snape might win on a character basis.” But the experts still feel that one of the series’ Big Three will make it into the finals: Ron Weasley. “Sirius has been such an important role model to Harry, yet Ron has been such an important friend to Harry,” Andrew Sims of MuggleNet said. “I think in this competition, Ron is going to win because: A) popularity, and B) he’s always been by Harry’s side.” Voting for the Final Four continues on the MTV Movies Blog through Sunday, July 10, at midnight. Then the showdown between the last two “Potter” characters left standing begins promptly at 12:01 a.m. ET on Monday, July 11, with the winner being announced later that night during MTV’s live stream of the “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” red-carpet premiere in New York City.
