Farewell to the Relfinator

Today is a sad day.

My good friend, Pete Relf - work colleague, man of a thousand names and fellow comic book and video game fan - is finishing work today to travel around Europe.

Do not be fooled. The photo on the left is not that of the brilliant silent movie actor Harold Lloyd it is the Relfinator. It is also a colour photo. Don't ask.

There you have it ExceedTron, Inspector Gadget, McLovin, and all the rest of his names has left the building.

You will be missed Pete. Hey, let's be careful out there.

Eli Roth to be an Inglorious Bastard

This from First Showing.

Variety confirms that filmmaker Eli Roth, of Hostel infamy, is in talks to join Quentin Tarantino's WWII epic Inglorious Bastards. I don't think anyone saw this one coming! Roth will play Sgt. Donnie Donowitz, nicknamed "The Bear Jew", one of the rogue Jewish-American soldiers that goes on a suicide mission hunting Nazi's in France. His trademark is smashing Nazi skulls with a baseball bat - something which should be quite exciting to see Roth doing. Additionally, the rumor that popped up about Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio also ends up being only half true - Pitt is still in talks to play Lt. Aldo Raine aka "Aldo the Apache", however Tarantino passed on DiCaprio in favor of a German actor.
