W... W.... What???

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Elizabeth Banks has been cast as Laura Bush in the Oliver Stone directed George Bush biopic, W.

I don't know when the movie takes place, but damn if Ms. Banks is a bit young to be playing the first lady, and for that matter former Goonie Josh Brolin playing the afformentioned Dub seems a bit off too. But I do love those durn Goonies.

But I do trust the 'Stone, so I'll wait and see. Hopefully this comes off more like Nixon or JFK than, say, Alexander...

Sorry about the link for Alexander being messed up, but I figured images of things called Alexander might be more interesting than the film itself.

Check out the (fake) Trailer for W below:

Yeah Democracy!

The Video Game Voters Network is reporting that the proposed New Mexico bill that introduced legislature taxing video game sales was struck down. This is a great win for the industry, and hopefully serves as a warning to other states trying to legislate the games we love. I'll let VGVN take care of the explanation, but I just thought I'd throw it out here as well.

"Over my dead body will Colbert's name be on the ballot."

It looks like mock pundit Stephen Colbert may hit a roadblock. The good folks over at CNN, a 'right thinking' news source, have posted a story describing what problems "Mr. America" will face in running for office in South Carolina.

In the article, it states that Colbert is planning on running as a Democrat in the state, simply because they charge less to run. It costs $2,500 to run for the Democrat Primary in SC, as opposed to $35,00 for the GOP.

But the money isn't the only problem. Colbert doesn't seem to be what the South Carolina Democratic committee deems "nationally viable," which simply means he isn't campaigning anywhere else.

Read more about it here, and make sure that you go and support the Colbert Nation!

"Stephen Colbert, the right choice for your future."
