I was surfing around the SciFi.com website and came upon an article that has me a little worried. According to TheBadandUgly.com Will Smith is in New York shooting additional scenes for Hancock, which is set to release in less than six weeks. The rumor is that the film has already been submitted twice to the MPAA and come back both times with an R rating instead of the PG-13 rating the producers are wanting for a wider audience appeal. If true they are going to have to scramble to make that July 2nd release date. Here’s hoping they do, because let’s face it, it just isn’t a real Fourth of July weekend without a Will Smith blockbuster.

I just signed up on Social Spark, a new internet blogging community that allows you to meet new friends and earn a little money with your blog. What’s great about Social Spark is that you can blog about topics you are interested in and get paid for it, you can meet other people with similar interests and the social networking will help increase traffic on your site, while helping others increase traffic on theirs. I know what your thinking right now, that my blog is just going to become a corporate tool to promote various products that have nothing to do with my site. Nothing could be farther from the truth. One of things Social Spark promotes is honest opinions about what you are promoting, and negative opinions are not allowed.
And money isn’t the only thing that Social Spark offers, it offers a chance to meet other people who share your interests and want to talk about them. If you are into movies like I am or gardening like my wife The Patient One is, you go on the community board and type in the subject, then Bam! up comes a group of people who blog about the same thing and you make new friends who share your favorite activities and you get to help each other increase visitors to your blogs. It’s a win-win situation.

Apparently Peter Jackson can’t face another four years of filming to bring the proposed two film version of The Hobbit to movie screens, can’t say I blame him, that is a huge undertaking. He has decided to produce only, which would seem to be just as arduous a four year task as directing but what do I know I’ve never made a film in my life. Anyway, he as chosen Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro to direct. I’m pretty sure Pan’s Labyrinth had a lot to do with the decision.
