Thank you for visiting this site first all. I acquired this domain aMovieAday.com back in 2006. I have always wanted to put up a site of some kind for one of my passions - movies. Due to my lack of internet skills, however, my plan has been put off again and again until just a few months ago. My dear dear friend Mark came over for a visit, and we talked about sorts, then we turned our chats into internet. (more...)
The world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark is the armored Super Hero Iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands.

Short sale is a term that i don't know really well, so i took some time and looked it up on the internet. According to Wikipedia, there're two definitions for short sale. The first one is the seller does not own a security that he or she sells. The second one is used in real estate. The definition is as follows:

What would Friday be without some ridiculously bizarre casting rumor from Britain's
The Sun? They claim
Robert Pattinson has landed the role of rock legend (and Nirvana frontman) Kurt Cobain in a Universal Pictures' biopic that's currently running with the working title
All Apologies. They say Pattinson was Courtney Love's choice -- who only agreed to the film under the condition that she would get to make the big decisions with regards to casting, director, screenplay and music -- and that the two have been chatting about it non-stop. Furthermore,
The Sun says Love wants
Scarlett Johansson to play her and -- wait for it ---
David Fincher to direct the thing. I'll give you a minute to catch your breath ...
Considering the source -- as well as the fact that
The Sun has been known to completely make up rumors out of thin air -- I wouldn't immediately freak out and curse the heavens. However, there might be some truth wedged in here, like Courtney Love's demanding that she oversee the major parts of production -- and there's even a chance that, yes, she wants Pattinson to play her former husband, as well as Johansson to portray her. And though it would be an incredibly risky move to cast Pattinson in a role like this (I'd prefer they go with an unknown), I could see the studio getting behind that kind of choice. And heck, who wouldn't want to see Scar-Jo finally take on a role that demands more from her than just window dressing?
Fincher directing is a little out of left field -- and he's apparently already lined up to helm an adaptation of
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in the fall -- but I wouldn't have expected him to take on the Facebook movie, so him deciding to direct a Cobain biopic wouldn't exactly floor me.
What do you think? Does Pattinson have the chops for this? Would Johansson make Love look a little less strung out? And could Fincher make this an awards contender?
