Take 5 - 11/04/11

Each week I take 5 news items from the current week from the entertainment industry, list them out here and then give my take on them. This is Take 5.

1. Do a Barrel Roll – If you use Firefox or Chrome, do yourself a favor type in “Do a Barrel Roll” into Google for a sweet reward. You can also type in “Z or R twice.” For those video game players that remember both of these phrases it is an awesome little Easter Egg that Google put in. Go try now.

2. Joss Whedon does Much Ado About Nothing – So instead of taking a well earned vacation after filming Avengers, Joss Whedon’s wife convinces him to film in 12 days a modern black and white version of Much Ado About Nothing featuring a cast from all of his cult TV shows. Umm. . . Awesome!!! Whedon is about to go super big with the Avengers, its nice to know that he will still do the little stuff. Even more awesome though is the fact that he gets his actor friends together to read Shakespeare at his house. Must break in.

3. James Bond in Skyfall – Finally the next James Bond film is announced. Helmed by Sam Mendes and with Javier Bardem as the villain this could make up for the disappointment that was Quantum of Solace. I enjoy Daniel Craig as Bond and I am a little sad that this may be his last time out due to the licensing of the franchise postponing this movie for so long.

4. Grand Theft Auto V Unveiled – Rockstar Games have built themselves on this franchise and each one of the games in the series has been fun. This installment returns to San Andreas and will feature another former criminal trying to turn a new leaf. I’m sure the game will be massive and have a lot of fun elements, but I would like something new. Maybe set it in the future or in a new city that they haven’t covered yet. It will be interesting to see what they do to make this game fresh.

5. Kim Kardashian Gets Divorced – Don’t care. I just don’t care and neither should you.
