The Future (and Past?) Will Be Wyld
It’s officially happening!
27 years removed from Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves–Bill and Ted, respectively–are returning to the iconic characters for the third chapter in their time-traveling adventure journey awesomeness. Hopefully, nostalgic B-movie magic from the ’80s and ’90s is on the way with the original title characters, along with the original sequel writers and a talented director.
If done correctly, this new sequel could be something special. Sadly, George Carlin is not here to reprise his critical and funny portrayal as Rufus. Major bummer. How will they handle this? While perhaps an overstatement, the way in which the filmmaking team deals with curious George’s death from a decade ago could be a signal as to whether this new story will work on a level beyond the obvious. The other key factor to watch for is if Bill & Ted 3 is an extension of the original two films or if it’s a caricature of the original two films.
This kind of stuff will determine if Bill & Ted 3 will be excellent or bogus.
P.S. Jimmy’s Daily Planet is proud to have been following this developing story for some time…
Happy Monday!
In this crazy journey called life, we discover things about ourselves. We learn about love, we learn about heartache, we learn about success and defeat, and we learn about people. And really, is there a better person to learn about the greatest gift in life than Larry David?
What’s that old adage? Oh yes, truth in comedy.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.

Is it just a May the Fourth Be With You celebration? Or is it also a recruitment video?
Oh, I know. It’s awesome.
Well played the University of Western Australia… well played (literally).

Jeff Daniels + Paul Giamatti + Guy Pearce + Sienna Miller + Mark Strong +
Paul Rudd?
Apparently, yes. What’s more is that the affable Paul Rudd may have taken the right role for transitioning into a dramatic role.
While the ending shot subtly suggests that Mr. Rudd may not have completely escaped into this serious story, without seeing the full film, it’s tough to write his effort off as a dramatic role in name only. There are some comedic actors who can seamlessly transition into a variety of characters akin to Daniel Day-Lewis. Can everyone’s best friend extend his range all the way back to the 1940s?
Totes magotes We’ll have to wait and see if people will love it, man.
The Catcher Was a Spy arrives in movie theaters on July 19, 2018.
