It's a momentous occasion here on the Who Asked You? show today. One of our oldest and favorit-est stories returns after 140 episodes! And it returns with a bang in it's own new segment. This has been 3-years in the making I suppose. So be sure and tune in for that this week.
Before we get to it though, there are some other things happening on this lil' planet of ours that deserves talking about. Christopher Nolan is considering using footage of Heath Ledger that didn't make the final cut of THE DARK KNIGHT in his next film, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. The idea would be to use unseen footage of Ledger and possibly digital compositing to place him in a scene for continuity from the last film. Those close to the film say Nolan would only do it if it's cool with Ledger's family. And we're wondering what you think about it? It's the question in this week's "We Ask You Online Poll". That's not the only revelation coming from the Nolan camp regarding his 3rd Bat-flick. We've got them all today!
But there's even more DC news coming at ya! Since SMALLVILLE is in its final season — thank god — the CW is looking for its pretty little Abercrombie replacement. And they may have already found it in a somewhat obscure heroine. The DC character, Raven is being looked at closely for a TV treatment on the worst broadcast network. It's still very early so there are no casting rumors. But we posed the question to the ErrorFM chat room and they came up with Thora Birch. What do you think? Feel free to send us your casting suggestions or thoughts on a "Raven" show in general and we'll read 'em next week.
From DC's mission to annihilate their stories' and characters' integrity to Marvel's we go. Either Sony is paying Marvel horrendously enormous amounts of money, or Marvel just doesn't give a fuck. Because the new Spider-Man reboot is looking more and more awful all the time. With each new casting announcement to tiny little plot elements that are a given when taking into account the characters that will appear in the film, it's shaping up to be a steaming corn-peppered pile of Spidey-poo all the time. Sony should have a couple of marketing people sit online for an entire day and just read the comments posted on movie news sites and forums. They aren't good Marvel and Sony. People are NOT looking forward to this terrible re-imagining.
Barbie has done it all... she's been a flight attendant, a teacher, a veterinarian, driver of cute pink cars with flower decals, receiver of Ken's shiny plastic tool... now she's been turned into a cybernetic organism. The scientists over at Mattel have implanted our favorite toy blonde with a video camera where her heart should be and a giant LCD screen covering her back. She even has a USB tramp stamp! Barbie can hold 30-minutes of video footage and the FBI says she could be a potential pedophile tool-of-the-trade. We'll talk about their warning to police departments and to parents.
We end today's show with a story that'll have you asking yourself, what are the freakin' odds? I won't spoil too much of it here. But suffice it to say this story has it all. Current events, their ramifications, a dude's name that fits perfectly with what happens and lots more! Somehow I think this will come up again on a future episode. Who knows, maybe it'll get its own segment like the other famous story on today's program.
