Planning an event and need to book some entertainment? Then this list of what popular music acts are charging will be invaluable to you.

Could True Detective, season 2 feature Jessica Chastain and Brad Pitt? I guess if both actors agreed to it.

Potential plot for Jurassic World. I realize many movies are simply a quick cash grab, but have we learned nothing from the evidence that suggests a monster movie with a cohesive script can succeed even more than expectations? Because this story sounds downright insane, and possibly co-authored by a 4 year old.

The Good...The Bad...The Beautiful #43

THE GOOD:



There's a lot going on in this 15 second of video. The ninja spring out from what appears to be the back of a row home in Northeast Philly to kill a guy fresh from the local dinner theater's production of Saturday Night Fever; the long, tired gasp from the victim that almost lasts as long as his final scene; the realization by the victim that the war these two are engaged in is futile...I could go on and on.

Bad and Beautiful on the flip side...



THE BAD:



And there's a lot of bad with this video. Starting with the fact that The Gong Show shouldn't exist without Chuck Barris. Why no one could realize that is beyond me.

THE BEAUTIFUL:



Some guy trying out for the NBADL. Not sure why he didn't get a call back. For the hair alone.
