More Cooler

I just found out that AMC is making a miniseries based on The Prisoner starring Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellan. I don’t remember who watched the DVDs of the original besides Martin and I, but it sounds interesting!

According to cinematical.com, it was reported in Variety in August that Christopher Nolan (of the Memento and Batman Begins fame) is in final talks to direct a movie version of The Prisoner). The script would be written by Janet and David Peoples (Bladerunner, Twelve Monkeys, and Unforgiven). That could be REALLY cool.

I don’t know how I missed this, but in case anyone else did, here’s a video of the speech from the White House Correspondents Dinner. The satire is extremely harsh (and deserved). Plus the fact that Bush had to sit there the entire time makes it even better.

This is pretty damn funny.
