Hello everyone!!! I hope you guys enjoyed the look at Harry Potter. What do you guys think? Was it worth breakin into the Publicity office for? hahaha..j/k...On with the show
Lots to cover and I dont even know where to start. I guess I'll start with the big story right now..
After countless appeals and unprecedented federal intervention, it looks like Terry Schiavo is out of time. Her parents' appeals have been rejected at every level and even the emergency bill that the Senate rushed through to President Bush could do nothing. Their last chance lies with the US Supreme Court. However, they have already refused to hear the case on three seperate occasions.
Honestly, I dont want to sound heartless and what not..but I think that if the Supreme Court again refuses to hear the case, Terry's parents should let it end there. All they are doing is causing more heartbreak to themselves. We will never know what Terry's wishes were, but I'm pretty sure she would not have wanted her husband and parents to be squabbling over this.
Can someone please tell me why congress would get involved in such a personal matter?? They dont have any business in this case. How many countless other people have been in this situation and they have done nothing. Those members of congress that supported that emergency bill were in it for political gain. Simple as that. Why else would they get involved? By the looks of the recent polls, this strategy may have backfired. It seems the majority of Americans agree that Congress has no business meddling in family disputes. And I love the scene of Prez Bush "rushing" back to Washington, DC from one of his MANY MANY vacations to sign this bill. Hmm..I wonder what wouldve happened had he rushed back from a previous vacation back in the Summer of 2001 when the CIA was trying to convey to him the very real possibility of a terrorist attack. Instead of taking the threat seriously, he decided to stay on his ranch and play cowboy. Oops, I'm getting sidetracked arent I?
One final thought on the Schiavo matter...Whether or not her husband is right or wrong is irrelevant. As her husband, he is the legal guardian of her and if she toldhim that she would not have wanted to be kept alive, then he has EVERY right to have her disconnected. The order of legal guardianship goes spouse, children and then parents. This event has caused many people to go and review their wills and for many to write a living will. Its never a bad idea to be prepared for anything. Because you never know when the day will come.
OK, I'm sorry to sound like such a downer..lets move on..
The big news in sports right now is Barry Bonds coming out and saying that he may not play this season. Is reasons range from his bum knee that has been operated on twice in the last three months to all the media scrutiny surrounding his alleged steroid use. Bonds is within striking distance of baseballs all time home run record. I dont honestly think he is going to sit out the entire year. He may just have been frustrated with everything that is going on. I fully expect him to play for the Giants this year and i will continue to do so until the team makes it official. Of course, being a Dodgers fan that would be great news for my team. But I would rather them beat the Giants at full strength than weakened. One thing is for certain: The Giants' season may be over before it even starts if Barry indeed sits for the year. As always, we'll have to wait and see...
Superhero Movie news now. Thomas Hayden Church, the star of the recent hit film "Sideways" has been cast to play an as yet unknown villian in "Spider Man 3". The film is set to release in the Summer of 2007. Speculation is running rampant as to which villian he will be playing. Could this mean that "Spider Man 3" will have TWO villians?? At the end of the second film, it seemed pretty obvious that the Green Goblin would be returning. As that role had already been cast, what character could Church be playing? One net rumor has him playing "Venom". That would be an awesome choice, but if the Green Goblin indeed is going to return, I think the fans would rather have "Venom" featured solo in a "Spider Man" movie. I'm betting its either going to be "The Lizard" or "The Scorpion". Make sure to watch that rumor wire. It will be working overtime until the official word comes out.
"Superman Returns" officially started production Wednesday in Australia. The film which is set to release June 30th, 2006, has been in devlopment for quite some time. I dont have any real solid news on the film, other than Superman's costume will have a similar look, texture wise, to the Spider Man costumes in those movies. As soon as ANY production stills or stories come out, I will report them here. The primary cast consists of Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane and uknown actor Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel himself.
You hear that sound? Thats the Lakers playoff chances getting crushed. It has been a tough and grueling season and its almost over. 15 games left and they are 4 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot. Unless they win all 15 they are pretty much finished. Its rebuiling time in LA. Hopefully they make the right moves this time around..
Alright, that will do it for now. Hope you enjoyed your visit here. Til the next time...
DQ
