Jason Reitman turned down Justice League
For movie buffs, you might know Jason Reitman as that Canadian writer/director/actor/producer who directed films such as Thank You for Not Smoking and Juno. In his appearance in the Howard Stern show (and thank goodness not to ride the sybian), he mentioned that he declined handling the Justice League movie. “What am I going to do with Justice League of America? So Basically I’ll make a movie that is not as good as X-Men, then I’ll be...

Guitar Hero geeks release their inner rockstars
Give me some smack for being some geek hatin’ with this one. I know a lot of people all over the world are going bonkers over Guitar Hero. I tried playing the antique GuitarFreaks with that three button controller for the first-gen PlayStation but I never really got around be good at it. I’d have to say that I’m a lot better off playing a real guitar doing licks than doing it on a wee Gibson LP-shaped controller...
