    DEJA VU.. did we hear this before? Powerpuff girls to return as disillusioned 20-somethings

    CW makes the order..

    A Powerpuff Girls series..

    The series will center on the girls who are now disillusioned twenty-something-year-olds who resent that they lost their childhood to years of fighting crime, according to Variety.

    Press reports indicate that the writers and executive producers will be Heather Regnier and Diablo Cody, with the latter executive producing under the banner of Vita Vera Films.

    Regnier worked on the recent Veronica Mars revival, iZombie, and Sleepy Hollow while Cody is best known for writing Juno and working on Jennifer’s Body and Young Adult.Greg Berlanti, David Madden, and Sarah Schechter will executive produce the show under the Berlanti Productions banner. Erika Kennair and Warner Bros. Television will produce the show.

    While the news is being considered “breaking” today, it would appear that some have quite a short term memory problem.

    This news article broke in August, 2020, when the CW announced the POWERPUFF GIRLS would get a live action show, be more adult, and featured the stars as “disillusioned 20-somethings.” Nothing different in today’s “press release” than was displayed months ago..

    Perhaps a slow snooze day in the socials..

    Breaking news coming next month may include: “CW intends on live action POWERPUFF GIRLS!” … and the masses will forget the original news again..

  • Who’s that Joker!? Leto goes dark

    Who’s that Joker!? Leto goes dark

    The first images of Jared Leto as the Joker in Zack Snyder’s Justice League have been revealed.. The images reveal a darker and more dismal portrayal than what we saw in earlier Leto incarnations.

    The image was first revealed Vanity Fair and then posted to Twitter by the movie’s official account, show a Joker with heavy white makeup, smudged eyes and lips, and greasy, long hair.

    The white coveralls and disguise if his arm and hand tattoos remain…

    It would seem Hollywood has decided on a new game.. not who can play the darkest Batman role, but who could play the creepiest or more sinister Joker..

    Long gone are the days of bright colors and giddy chuckling..

    Instead the horror has been instilled into the role..

  • Tik Tok ‘wokes’ up to David Letterman

    Tik Tok ‘wokes’ up to David Letterman

    Years after the late night world last David Letterman’s program, the former talk show host is currently in a woke social media uproar on Tik Tok over an old Lindsay Lohan interview!!

    MORE..

    Tik Tok user @calabasaswings shared the uncomfortable interview in which Letterman, then in his 10th season as host of The Late Show with David Letterman, repeatedly asks Lohan about going to rehab. At the time, Lohan’s experience with substance use disorder was highly publicized — she was convicted twice of drunken driving and once for cocaine use in 2007, and was in and out of rehab in the subsequent years.

    The video here, which was uploaded to YouTube 8 years ago when the interview occurred:

    “This is so wrong on so many levels,” TikTok star Madison Beer wrote. Other Tik Tok users have opined similarly and have taken to slam Letterman’s interview, prompting some to ponder if we are witnessing a “cancellation”..

    But flashback to media coverage of the interview that took place immediately after in 2013 and you will get a whole different angle.. At that time Hillary Busis wrote this in EW:

    Believe it or not, there was more to David Letterman’s big Lindsay Lohan interview than awkward rehab talk. The late night host actually had a surprisingly heartfelt discussion with one of his favorite targets — one that led to Lohan actually tearing up on camera after Letterman praised her for having “enough spine, enough sense of [yourself], and enough poise” to come on the show despite all the jokes he’s made at her expense. Before that earnestness peeked through, though, Letterman and Lohan mostly kept things light, discussing her first appearance on his old NBC show — as a 6-year-old, she played “Things Found on the Floor of the D Train” in a Halloween-themed sketch — and, of course, her checkered past. Lohan said she had planned to do a bit implying that she was wearing a stolen dress; Letterman laughed heartily at the idea.

<br><br>One thing Lohan didn’t want to make light of: Her upcoming rehab stint, which is scheduled to begin May 2. When Letterman tried to steer the conversation toward that subject partway through the interview, the actress shut him down: “I’m looking forward to actually just taking time for me. You can’t make a joke of it. That’s so mean.” And when Letterman playfully asked if he could lob just one quip, Lohan stood her ground — “We’re not doing that. No. This is my show now.”

    What a difference a decade makes..
