Love the fire, Jose Padilha, but come on : “I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop , and I think that such a film is now urgently needed. But I will not repeat what [original director Paul] Verhoeven has done so clearly and strongly. Instead I try to make a film that will address topics that Verhoeven untreated. If you are a man changes into a robot, how do you do that? What is the difference between humans and robots developed? What is free will? What does it mean to lose your free will? Those are the issues that I think.” [ Film 1 via The Awl ]

Rick Perry doesn’t care about burning people… In Texas, firefighters aren’t just battling the wild fires raging around Austin and Houston. The state’s first responders have also had to deal with budget cuts affecting everything from fuel purchases to hoses and oxygen tanks. In some cases, fire officials say, firefighters have had to pay out of pocket for basic necessities like proper protective gear and fuel to get them to the scene. One fire department that battled the blazes in Bastrop County had to pay for a hose, recalled Bastrop City Fire Chief Henry Perry, speaking to The Huffington Post during a break from working the wild fires. “That fire department has been on this fire every day,” he said. “Before this fire, they were having to buy stuff out of their own pocket.” Perry said he knows of at least one other department whose firemen had to pay for equipment maintenance and engine fuel. Earlier this week, HuffPost reported that Gov. Rick Perry, the GOP front-runner for president, had signed off on millions in firefighting cuts as part of the state’s most recent budget legislation. The Texas Forest Service’s funding has gone from $117.7 million in the 2010-2011 budget years to $83 million in the 2012-2013 budget years. Severe cuts have also hit assistance grants to volunteer fire departments throughout Texas. The grants decreased from $30 million per year in 2010 and 2011 to $13.5 million per year in 2012 and 2013. These are cuts that firemen are now dealing with. “I don’t agree with it. I understand what Governor Perry did,” said Henry Perry (no relation). “Do I like it? No. I don’t like it at all.” Guy Turner, the president of the Texas State Association of Fire Fighters, had this to say about Gov. Perry: “For years, public safety was the golden calf — that we were untouchable,” Turner said. “Nobody’s untouchable. It is a shame. They are basically putting a price on how much our lives are worth. It’s disturbing at best.” So the question is, is this the man that we want to run our country??? A man who cuts budgets for public safety while his state burns like Usher?? SMH we say HELL NO! Source

Former ‘Family Matters’ star talks playing Cee Lo, supposed Drake cameo and Bobby Brown dance moves. By Gil Kaufman, with reporting by Kara Warner Cee Lo Green (file) Photo: Getty Images Cee Lo Green has definitely mined a very specific retro 1950s vibe in the videos he’s released so far from his Lady Killer album.

Olivia Wilde’ s been on a skinterview spree for her new movie Cowboys & Aliens , and she’s been spreading the nudes that her seat meat makes an appearance in the sci-fi/Western hybrid. Well, you can take those rumors and spread ’em on your vegetable garden, because turns out they’re nothing more than bull dooky. Mr. Skin’s Skin Skout has seen a sneak preview of Cowboys & Aliens, and it turns out the much-hyped butt scene is less than Wilde. 1 hour and 11 minutes into the movie, Olivia walks through a fire naked and miraculously unharmed. Olivia may be fine, but Skin Central is still feeling burnt, because CGI flames cover Olivia’s seat meat in the rear view shot, exposing only naked back, and from the front we only see her from the shoulders up. Not to mention as soon as she walks out of the fire, Daniel Craig rushes in to cover Olivia’s gorgeous naked body with a blanket. That wasn’t exactly what we meant when we said Olivia Wilde’ s butt really lights our fire, guys. Cowboys & Aliens might be a tease, but members can see Olivia delivering the topless goods in Alpha Dog (2006) on our Olivia Wilde page!
