Well hello folks. In the last Entertainment thread (on the main page) Adrian said he would not be able to update for the next month. Someone asked if perhaps this can be continued in the Entertainment forum. Well, I've decided to give it a whirl. My format may not be pretty but maybe in the next week or two I can spruce it up (if I ever create a template)
Everything has a link.
Until then I hope you enjoy.

Kudos for doing this.

-MGM will keep and continue to develop (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3i1c9f6a73741ca4f5c5f9ce39ee317c23 ) The Hobbit (and it’s sequel).

Wait, isn't the sequel to the Hobbit, I don't know, Lord of the Rings?

Also, as much as I hate the fact that they're remaking A Nightmare On Elm Street, I will still probably watch. You know, just to see if someone else gets swallowed up by a bed.

My bad. Read something about Gunther saying there was going to be a Friends movie, but apparantly the girls have said no there isn't.

Yeah I've of it, think it's called Episodes or something, about remaking a BBC programme for american audiences or something.

LeBlanc is due to star in Episodes, a Showtime/BBC television series about a fictional British television series that is remade for an American audience. The series will be written by Friends co-creator David Crane and his partner Jeffrey Klerik, and will star LeBlanc as "himself"

Sounds promising, but I'll definitely keeping my hopes down for it.
