There’s a lot to look at in this international trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation : Explosions. The muscled forms of Channing Tatum and Dwayne Johnson . More explosions. Masked men engaging in ninja sword fights while suspended from a snowy mountain. Avalanche! Jonathan Pryce appearing to reprise his role as the Bond villain in Tomorrow Never Dies. Bruce Willis making cracks about his cholesterol after a near-death experience. Wait! What? Isn’t that what John McClane does in the Die Hard movies — like A Good Day to Die Hard , which hits movie theaters a month and a half before the G.I. Joe sequel? Okay, so no one plays a smirking, self-deprecating hard-ass better than Willis. Which is why you should learn how to tell them apart: In A Good Day to Die Hard , he’s John. In G.I. Joe Retaliation , he’s Joe. Simpler movie, simpler name. Got it? Good. Now, watch some explosions. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.
Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof may not be writing Star Wars Episode VII , but he can still suggest plot points. On Thursday, FirstShowing.net debunked some pretty rampant and persistent speculation that 1952 , the science-fiction project that Lindelof and Brad Bird are writing for the new owner of LucasFilm, Disney , was the code name for a new Star Wars trilogy. But just two days earlier, when rumors were still making the rounds, Lindelof took to his Twitter feed to suggest some Episode VII ideas that were better suited to a Robot Chicken Star Wars special. “Chewbacca’s great-great grandson is named Drewbacca and he must overcome his allergies to lasers and meat,” wrote in one Tweet, which sounds just a tad more entertaining than the plot to the Star Wars Holiday Special . In another, he suggested: “Yoda’s Ghost gets annoyed by Obi-Wan’s Ghost (too much whining) and they fight with Ghostsabers.” Lindelof posted both with the hashtag “#IdeasForEpisodeVII” On Thursday, he also alluded to reaction over his rumored involvement in the new Star Wars trilogy. Linking to a post by Ain’t It Cool News , Lindelof tweeted: “If I ever need a suicide note, I’ll just print out this comments section,” in which he gets a bit of a thrashing. Wrote one commenter: “Keep fucking Damon Lindelof away from this!” In other Star Wars News, whatever you think about George Lucas’ decision to sell LucasFilm to Disney , it’s hard to take issue with his announcement that he’ll be giving a chunk of the $4 billion sale of his company to a foundation supporting education. “For 41 years, the majority of my time and money has been put into the company,” 68-year-old Lucas said in a statement reported by The Wrap.com on Wednesday. “As I start a new chapter in my life, it is gratifying that I have the opportunity to devote more time and resources to philanthropy.” In 2010, Lucas signed the Warren Buffet and Bill Gates Giving Pledge in which participants commit “to giving the majority of their wealth to the philanthropic causes and charitable organizations of their choice either during their lifetime or after their death.” The website noted that Lucas is the chairman of Edutopia, which is part of part of the George Lucas Educational Foundation, and could put the Disney money into the foundation or create a new one.

Sorry ladies. Seth Green is off the market: The actor officially married his model/actress fiancee Clare Grant on Saturday, his rep confirmed today. Green and Grant tied the knot at a private vineyard in Northern California, according to a source. The two got engaged a couple of months ago. Mixing business and pleasure (and humor), Green is executive producer and co-creator of Robot Chicken for which Grant also does voice-overs. The actor also producers hilarious Family Guy quotes each week. Grant, who attended the University of Memphis, appeared with Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan and stars in the MTV series $5 Cover . Congratulations to Seth Green and Clare Grant!
Her name is Clare Grant. She’s one of those big Hollywood stars who has a Model Mayhem profile. I knew she was a nobody when I saw these pictures of Seth Green grabbing at her ass, something I know he only gets to do when it comes down to meeting a bitch who works for him, or meeting a real hungry aspiring actress who doesn’t have any integrity left and he’s the only opportunity /biggest name she’s met to date and may just be the answer to get her out of the hell she is living and into the fame she feels she deserves because back home in Memphis everyone thought she was the fuckin’ prettiest the local highschool of 500 students had to fuckin’ offer
