Iron Man 3 - Official Trailer Teaser [HD]: Enter The Mandarin!

New Release Date for ‘Jack the Giant Killer’

Do the release date shuffle! THR reports that,
since Elysium has had its opening shifted three weeks
earlier, there's gap in Warner Bros.'s schedule for next
year, and they've decided to fill that gap with Jack the
Giant Killer. Whoops, make that Jack the Giant Slayer, as
Warner and New Line have also made a slight semantic
adjustment to the title. Apparently this makes it "more
family friendly." Whatever they say.*
Jack the Giant Killer Slayer is now set to open March 1,
2013. Like G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Great Gatsby,
Gangster Squad, and a lot of other films, it was originally
supposed to come out this year, but has been delayed.

Denzel Washington’s Flight

Flight premiered as the closing night film of the New
York Film Festival. Subsequently, there has been Oscar
talk of an anticipated battle between Washington and
Daniel Day-Lewis, from the film Lincoln, which will open
on November 9.
In the Robert Zemeckis directed Flight, Washington plays
a commercial airline pilot with a drinking and substance
abuse problem, which comes to light after he executes
an emergency landing, rescues the passengers, and
becomes a big hero. His drug abuse problem comes to
fore-front after the FAA does an thorough investigation
into the case.
Don Cheadle, Tamara Tunie and Garcelle Beauvais are
co-star in the film.

David Oyelowo Set To Play Sugar Ray Robinson In Boxer’s Biopic ‘Sweet Thunder’.

With the amount of biopics in production right now, it
appears that it's biopic season in Hollywood. Andre 3000
is in the process of bringing back to life Jimmy
Hendricks, while there appears to be a growing
controversy over the casting of Zoe Saldana as Nina
Simone in her biopic. Now, David Oyelowo is the latest to
recreate a real person as boxer Sugar Ray Robinson in
Sweet Thunder.
According to Deadline, the film will be based on the Wil
Haygood's biography "Thunder: The Life And Times Of
Sugar Ray Robinson", which was first published in 2009.
The Synopsis of the book goes as follows:

Gov Rochas Okorocha Fights In Public.

Some things are hard to believe, until you remember
you are in Nigeria. On Saturday, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha, governor of Imo State and a two-time
presidential aspirant, punched a protocol officer who
refused to allow him sit on a chair reserved for the
Anambra State governor, Peter Obi.
The incident, which happened during the 80th
birthday celebration of former vice president, Chief
Alex Ekwueme, in Enugu, occurred about 20 minutes
before most of the invited guests arrived.
Apparently, the seat which Okorocha wanted to
occupy, was at a table reserved for the host
governor, Sullivan Chime and Peter Obi. The punched
protocol officer, Ifeanyi Onukuba, who works with

Tai Solarin’s Wife Is Dead.

The English-born woman who founded the renowned
Mayflower School with her husband in Ikenne, Ogun
State, died this morning at Babcock University Teaching
Hospital in Sagamu.
In recognition of their efforts towards ensuring that more
people have formal education, the Solarins have
received several awards and recognition, locally and
internationally.
Sheila was knighted and awarded the Member of British
Empire (MBE) in 2007 by Queen Elizabeth.
Two state-owned tertiary institutions were named after
Dr. Solarin. They are; Tai Solarin University of Education
(TASUED), Ijebu-Ode and Tai Solarin College of Education
((TASCE), Omu-Ijebu.
The late Mr and Mrs Solarin left behind two children,
Corin and Tunde.
Funeral arrangements for the late educator will be
announced soon.

Bishop David Oyedepo Under Close Scrutiny.

More attention has been drawn to the 'pastorpreneur'
Bishop Oyedepo, a british media claimed that he now
runs a church with a main aim of 'cynical exploitation'.
The british media revealed that, after its British branch
received £16.7 million in donations from followers who
were told that God would give them riches in return,
more attention has been drawn to his wealth building
church.
Followers are ferried in double-decker shuttle buses to
the church, handed slips inviting them to make debit
card payments, and are even told obeying the ministry's
teachings will make them immune from illness.

Some Weird Fact.

A recent post on the New York Times Campaign Stops
blog discusses all sorts of Google search-related political
factoids. The point of the analysis is, for the Times'
purpose, to act as a predictor (or, the article's title puts
it, a "crystal ball") for the election. But it also offers up
important information about how often people do things
like search for topless photos of Paul Ryan, or, on the
more depressing end of the spectrum, how often people
searched for "Obama" in conjunction with "KKK." Here
are some of more interesting searches:

Man Mistakes Girl Dressed as Skunk Shoots Her With Shotgun.

Sometimes when you really put effort into making your
Halloween costume realistic, you get compliments.
"Wow, you really look like (blank)!" people might say. But
other times, you might do too good of a job, and get
mistaken for the real thing by a relative, who will then
shoot you with a shotgun.
This is more or less exactly what happened, to tragic
effect, this weekend to a 9-year-old girl in Western

Mum And Her Baby Kicked Off Bus Because Of Stinky Nappy.

A woman is complaining to the public transit authority in
the US that a driver kicked her off a bus in Seattle because
of her baby's stinky nappy.
Nichole Hakimian was taking her one-year-old son to a
clinic this week because of an intestinal illness, KOMO
News reported.
"He had just pooped in his diaper as soon as I got on,
because he was having diarrhoea," she said. "And right
after that, she told me I had to get off the bus."
When Hakimian asked why she said the Metro Transit
driver said, "Your baby, he smells really bad, and it's not
fair that we all have to smell that."

Ben Affleck's Argo

Argo is one of those brilliant, "We couldn't tell you this at
the time", true stories which has been released from one
of no doubt hundreds of secret CIA files hidden away in a
dusty basement in Langley, Virginia.
In 1980, the United States Embassy in Tehran was hijacked
by Iranian protesters, and the hostages were holed up for
many months. Six Americans escaped but had to go into
hiding elsewhere in the city. The CIA devised a way to bust
them out of Iran by creating an unlikely false cover story:
engaging real film producers, they made up a sci-fi movie
and told the Iranian authorities they wanted access to
scout for locations with their "crew".

Quote Of The Day

"The one I miss the most, beyond any character, is
Dumbledore. He was a strange character because I
always say I wrote him from somewhere in the back of
my brain. He would often say things I didn't know I
believed. But once I saw that Dumbledore had said
them, I thought, 'Oh yeah that's right, that's true.'"

whom she misses writing the most, to Charlie Rose
