New Batman movie is coming
The new Batman movie will be shot in 2010 and hopefully will be in theatres in 2011.
This is what we learned from Gary Oldman doing a panel in Comic-Con. I believe 2012 is a more realistic date for the new Batman movie which will surely be brilliant.
First Photo from Avatar
This is the first photo released from James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron claims that it is going to be the best film ever. We will see about that.

Is Spinner for real or a character addition to Lost?
Anthony Spinner claims that he wrote Lost in 1977. He has some evidence for that as well. He shows the resemblances between Lost and his series which was also called Lost in this .pdf file. Spinner’s claim was also in place in 2005 as well, when the series were just started. Here is the news from a web site back then.
Now the lawsuit is popular once again.
We know one thing and it is there is too few left to be invented in TV business. This idea could surely come to someones mind before and stolen as well. But the deal with Lost is not that easy. Here is Anthony Spinner’s biography. He is in business since 1948, born in 1930, almost 80 years old. Not doing anything since 1996. He worked on some low profile TV series and enjoying his retirement. He seems to me either someone running after his property on one hand but a huge retirement bonus on the other. Latter is more possible. This is not a cleverly written murder story, it is Lost and i feel like it is an original story with great references to history.
If Spinner was the writer of such a scale than he should have done much popular jobs in TV industry. However there is one more possibility.
Lets come to the conspiracy theory behind this lawsuit. This can be a huge promotional campaign organized by J.J. Abrahams. Anthony Spinner can be a new addition to the characters in Lost and he can join the ones in 1977. He would listen to the story from Hugo and rewrite it. Then Lost will be connected really strongly to the real world and everyone would be talking about it.
Some of you may remember that Hugo Reyes would like to write Star Wars himself before Lucas as he likes.

How can you love a murderer?
Serhat Aslan is a murderer. He killed Burak Şengöçen 5 years ago in a cafe in İstanbul.
Then he ran away. Nobody had a clue where he was until this week. A TV news programme found him in London.
He is pretty happy with his life. He has no job, drives a fancy car, gets the money probably from his father who is a lawyer in İstanbul.
The murder you may ask. Burak was together with a girl named Nurdan and her ex came to the cafe with Serhat the murderer. A fight broke out and Serdar killed Burak by stabbing a knife.
This is a terrible story to read. What is more terrible is that is there is a girl that is probably in love with Serhat so that they got engaged in new years eve last year. What will her reaction be now? Does she know that her fiancee is a murderer? If yes tell me how can you love a murderer?
16 days to go
Some of you may know that i am a big fan of Harry Potter series. Read all the books several times, watched all the movies plenty times. The sixth episode of Harry Potter is coming to theatres on 17 July, a day i have been waiting for too long now.
The trailer looks amazing and i believe after the last movie academy will award Harry Potter movies with Oscars they deserved for some time now.
