Mike’s “sexy” head

Over at msnbc.com, columinist Mary Beth Ellis names her choice of “10 Sexy Movie Men.” Among the usual mentions of Hugh Jackman and Viggo Mortensen, she also includes a certain Michael J. Nelson, who she says has “the sexiest back of the head in all of cinema.” She also gives him extra props for such powers as “making Patrick Swayze films safe again for you and me.” You can read the article at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9066263

“Clonus” producers file suit

On Monday, August 8, Robert S. Fiveson and Myrl A. Schreibman, producers of PARTS: THE CLONUS HORROR (seen in episode 811) filed suit in New York claiming DreamWorks and Warner Bros. cribbed their movie for The Island. In addition to unspecified financial compensation, Fiveson and Schreibman want The Island withdrawn from theaters and any further release barred, reports Daily Variety.

The copyright infringement suit lists 90 instances where the movies are identical. DreamWorks released a statement Tuesday saying, “‘The Island’ does not infringe on anyone’s copyrights.” Warner said it does not comment on pending litigation.
