Carpenter, Blade, Shade & More

• According to a post at Ain't It Cool News, one of my favorite John Carpenter movies, "Assault on Precienct 13" is being remade. I'd love to see Sly Stallone play Napoleon Wilson in a low budget remake.
• Ain't It Cool also has a post about "Blade III" with writer David Goyer set to direct. I didn't care for "Blade" but thought that "Blade II" was one of the best horror movies in years so I don't know what to expect with "III."
• Dark Horizons reports that "Shade" "the Stallone film will recieve its world premiere at the Cinevegas Film Festival on June 21st." Ah, life is good!
• "Finding Nemo" earned $70.6 million this weekend which is the best ever weekend haul for an animated movie. Look for "Nemo: Reloaded" coming to a theater near you!
• Mswati is Africa's last absolute monarch and he says that women wearing pants are the reason the world is in such a sad state and that human rights are an "abomination before God." And here I thought it was because of mimes.
• A German wanted for theft has been arrested after he reported his wallet stolen. Can you say "poetic justice?"
• Singapore plans to rate public toilets using a five-star system called "Happy Toilet" which is similar to that used to grade hotels. Although I think it's a pretty good idea, I'm sure there are those who think it is a load of crap.
