Is it really newsworthy that the Vatican won't let The Da Vinci Code prequel Angels & Demons film in Rome churches? I mean, the Catholic Church hated the books and the first movie, so why would the Vatican be expected to let Ron and Tom run around their churches shooting another "godless" film? The answer is they wouldn't. Thus this is a non-news news item.

Adam Beach (Windtalkers, Law & Order: SVU) is living in a fantasy land, populated by dinosaurs. And in this world that he lives in, he is apparently part of a new Turok: Dinosaur Hunter movie that he thinks is very close to being made. Granted, yes, he was the voice of Turok in the recent Turok: Son of Stone straight-to-DVD animated movie, but talking to MTV News like a live-action movie is in development seems a little premature, doesn't it?

My recent experience watching an episode of Secret Diary of a Call Girl in a room full of fairly new co-workers reminded me all too well of one of the worst experiences known to man -- sitting down to watch a movie with your parents that you think is benign, but that all of a sudden takes a turn for the filthy worst. Not living at home anymore, I don't even notice how sexual commercials, TV and movies are until I go home to visit my unbelievably prudish Catholic parents. Then I notice, and I notice big. By way of PSA for all of you with similarly uptight families, I've compiled a list of the movies I watched with my parents that I wish to god I hadn't.

You all remember how mad Spike Lee was at Clint Eastwood (and the Coen Brothers, too) at Cannes, right?

Well, as one would expect from Dirty Harry, Eastwood came out with guns blazing in response, in an interview that ran Friday in The Guardian. All of the buzz about Clint's interview is focusing on one line: that Spike should "shut his face." Clint did say that, but the interview contains plenty more controversial tidbits:

McG is seriously over people making fun of his name, you guys. Oh, and he also totally wants you to know all those Terminator spoilers you've been reading about all week aren't true. I'm serious. He blogged about it. Kthxbye!

In an article in this week's Entertainment Weekly Chris Nashawaty says loud and proud, "I hate superheroes" -- or, to be more specific, superhero movies. His opinion is that there are too many of them, that they're all the same and that they're ruining the summer blockbuster season, apparently by forcing non-superhero movies to go elsewhere, or not get made at all. If Chris wrote this article in an attempt to find his nemesis, like Samuel Jackson trying to find Bruce Willis in Unbreakable, well then, Chris, you've found me.

British filmmaker Peter Greenaway once said, "Works of art are never finished, just stopped." That statement may turn out to have been prophetic on his part, as his latest project is "at risk of being cancelled by Italian authorities," according to an article in The Guardian. What's got the Italians up in arms? Greenaway has plans to use Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" next month as a backdrop for a light show, which the authorities worry could damage the 500-year-old masterpiece. Milan's mayor Letizia Moratti wants to cancel the show to protect the art, even though, according to the article, a scientific committee "has concluded [the painting] would not be damaged by the light show."

Uwe Boll is at it again, and this time he's blaming political correctness. The director, who's already on our collective shit list for being one of those people who won't take responsibility for their failures and constantly blames everyone else, has taken to blaming a culture that indulges in too much PC for the fact that almost no theater wants to show his new film Postal. The black comedy, starring Dave Foley and Verne Troyer, which makes references to September 11, President Bush and Osama bin Laden, will open this weekend on just 13 to 15 screens across the country. Though Boll had originally had the target of 1,500 screens on Friday, theater chains didn't cooperate.

That rattling sound you hear is me rolling my eyes at the following ABC News headline: "Sex and the City fiend: Show turned me into Samantha." For the uninitiated, Samantha is the character who provides most of the Sex on Sex and the City, unless you're watching it on TBS. With the SATC movie opening next week, I assume ABC wanted to capitalize on it by running this absurd piece projecting blame. A rapper once famously said you can't turn a ho into a housewife; Sex and the City is now apparently doing the opposite. I can only see this working to my advantage when I buy my ticket on May 30th.
