So many things happening, I hardly know where to start. I guess I’ll start s of chronologically. In this week’s “Weird, but I would have watched it for sure” story, Apparently the Will Ferrell film Anchorman had a VERY different plot before it was rewritten to the film we now know. Will Ferrell explained, while…
Oh look, it’s another week already. More stuff! More happenings! More!

If you’re like me and have had pretty much all you can take of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow then you will likely have the same reaction I did to this marginally distracting film that was either eye-rolling or simply boring. Yep, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is too long…
