Russell Crowe is sorry and trying to atone for his violent, dangerous past by putting his skills to use helping those who need protection and/or the use of a phone. Not in real life though. Never in real life.

Despite The A-Team‘s belly-flop onto hard concrete this past weekend, Crowe has been attached to a remake of the vengeance-for-hire series "The Equalizer." Crowe will play Robert McCall (originated by Edward Woodward), a former secret agent determined to help those in need via a newspaper ad. I imagine this will be modernized to a Craigslist ad. Because those in need certainly always have a $2,000 laptop and a costly Verizon FiOS connection. (LA Times)

Back in 1988 James Cameron made a terrible decision to direct a music video for Bill Paxton‘s band Martini Ranch. I’m sure the final product has been haunting him ever since, a horrible display of mariachis and teased hair that not even his domination at the box office can banish from his mind’s eye. Ooooo is that Kathryn Bigelow?! Why in God’s name don’t they show more of her? And why is she wearing so many articles of clothing? Bustiers abound in this P.O.S. and Cameron doesn’t slap one on Kathryn. If I wasn’t so terrified of you, James, I’d give you angry fist shake. (Cinematical)
