ALL THUMBS! Megan would avoid JONAH HEX if she could do it all again

Megan Fox continues her publicity tour for the newest NINJA TURTLES incarnation.. but she is also showering some hopeless words on a past flick that she wishes she’d never made: JONAH HEX..

Josh Brolin hated it too..

The movie was an utter failure. Slammed by critics and panned by fans. The COMIC flick didn’t capture much imagination.. as a matter of fact, when I saw the comments about Fox hating the movie, I had to re-Google the year the movie even came out! 2010 for the record.

No word on whether she’s be JENNIFER’S BODY again.

But we know the HEX she’d avoid.

If only thumbs could turn back time.

DAWN OF JUSTICE crash!

When the dramatically high Easter Sunday numbers were posted about BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, I had a hunch.. Those numbers were so good.. soo amazing.. and sooo ready to crash and burn the week after. The movie was talked about all week around water coolers and on school buses.. and people were all in agreement: IT sucks.

This may be one where critics and moviegoers actually find some common ground..

I am choosing not to see the film. Friends of mine who did regard it as one of the lesser qualify pieces of art they have ever consumed.. a few kids think it is cool because of explosions and special effects. But the story line.. the Affleck .. the awfulness of it all..

This weekend is crash and burn time!

Already Friday night lights were dimmed for other films, not BAT vs the super one with WONDER WOMAN somehow thrown in for good measure.

A 79% drop Friday night when compared to the previous weekend. The overall weekend will most likely finish $50 mil with a 69% falloff..

Does that mean the movie is going to flop? No .. it still has some bit to go to make up the over $800 million budget it filmed on, however. But it will make it.

One thing is for sure: ZOOTOPIA is coming in second place and still–second place after this many weeks–showcasing itself as a major hit ..

AVERY and DASSEY DAY ACROSS THE POND

The Netflix documentary about the convictions of Brendan Dassey and Steven Avery have had a widespread effect on America–people talked about it for weeks as they closely studied the ten-part special about the murder of a young photographer and subsequent conviction of both Avery and Dassey. People felt it was unfair.. some think the cops and and prosecutors did wrong.. Justice not served. Others in the law enforcement community despise the documentary and bill it as one sided.

Today Britain is weighing in. They watched it as well, and are planning a huge April 2 2016 protest outside the US Embassy in London..

The Facebook organizers who planned the protest wrote this: “For the hardcore of you who are able make it down early, we will start at the US Embassy with the vital task of showing the US just what we we think of their so-called justice system! There will be bloggers, videographers and journalists in attendance. We will then break for lunch where we can enjoy some refreshment and discuss the case between us.”

In other MAKING A MURDERER news..

The former attorney for Avery is getting the chance to host a crime documentary..
Dassey, again, is missing Wrestlemania..

And finally,

Khloe Kardashian is really, really enraged about the whole thing after she watched the documentary on Netflix.

SO there you have it.

The devil’s selfie

A very long conversation has developed on Twitter, Facebook, and other ‘social’ media locations across the information superhighway.. What in the world is going on in this selfie!? A man, innocently taking a snap of him and his most likely lover.. both smiling for the cell camera to capture the perfect moment. And in the background, the strange development: We don’t see the back of the woman’s head but instead … her smiling at us in the reflection..

The net has freaked out. As it so often does..

Even the UK EXPRESS (Love this tabloid) posted a full article about the selfie..

A few points to note:
We don’t know who the people are.
The picture is most likely fake.
Photoshop is an amazing thing.
It was April Fool’s Day yesterday.
And … the picture is fake.

If there is more to the story I’d sure love to hear it.

And the creep factor is evident..
But also evident: Photo manipulation.

Fun of course..
Very fun.

Now .. if it’s not fake and I am wrong? ..
Well then.. I’d never take a selfie again.

Coffee and phantom killers.. All night reading and sleepless filler. What phantoms emerge from the darkened halls? What silent threats will cause your fall?
