Flash Gordon Remake Gets Some Writers, Probably to Make it all Gritty and Urban Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun... Flash! Pakow! Ahhh! It's quite difficult to decide what made up word successfully describes the noise after 'Flash!' is cried on the Queen song, but hecklerspray has gone with 'pakow!' and forever it will remain that way. What is less difficult to describe is the news that Flash Gordon, polo playing (or american footballer, depending on how much stock you put in the 80s film) hero of the universe, is to make a return to the big screen. This comes across as particularly strange, following the fact that the recent Flash Gordon TV series was received in the way a crap-covered balloon given to a child with a terminal illness would be received. Stretched analogies aside, we mean the TV show wasn't very good. And it still isn't, actually. But this hasn't stopped Hollywood in their never-ending quest to rape nostalgia forever, which has frankly become such a stupidly common occurrence that we feel we should give it an official name.

Golden Globes Gets Put Out Of Its Misery?

Thanks to the ongoing writers' strike, shows like 24 have been indefinitely postponed much to everyone's disappointment - but on the other hand the Golden Globes might be cancelled too, so it all evens out.

The Golden Globes - the all-singing, all-dancing, glitzy, foreign-voted cousin to the Oscars - is set to take place on Sunday, but the writers' strike means that it will be boycotted by all the nominees if it gets televised by NBC as planned. And now the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is pushing NBC to not broadcast the awards at all so that the stars won't face picket lines on their way in. Of course, without cameras there to capture them in their pretty dresses and painstaking make-up jobs, there's a good chance that the cast of Desperate Housewives will disintegrate into clouds of dust at some point during the ceremony, but that's the chance they'll have to take.
