Giovanni Ribisi | Movie Talk

Tim Burton says that his inspiration for the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland comes from UK’s very own Nigella Lawson.

Giovanni Ribisi has only great things to say about co-star Johnny Depp after working with him on the Hunter S Thompson adaptation The Rum Diary.

Matt Damon might be playing Robert F Kennedy in a movie based on the Evan Thomas biography His Life. It all depends on if the star likes the script that is being written by Steven Knight (Eastern Promises, Dirty Pretty Things).

Bruce Willis expects to start shooting Die Hard 5 in 2011 and would like Underworld director Len Wiseman to take on the project. News Hound’s suggested sequel title? Die Hard: Once and For All.

A trip down memory lane (before Brucie went bald):

It started in a subtle way. Top Gun-style Ray Bans became fashionable again. Then in snuck the legwarmers followed by the leggings, spandex waist belts and oversized tops. Then came Miami Vice the movie and the recent reunion of New Kids on the Block. Yep, the 1980s are sooo back!

Unfortunately, everything wasn’t hunkydory even in those days, and this week (here comes this post’s vague and only link to the News), yuppies of the noughties have been going through similar financial rollercoasters as their predecessors. Mergers, bankruptcies, redundancies, take-overs, the ‘credit crunch’…it’s looking uglier than a botoxed Michael Douglas.

So, considering we should all be careful with our pennies, what better way to save money than staying in all weekend, watching 80s movies and dancing and singing along to their overbearing soundtracks.
