The albatross around the neck of Julie Taymor just will not stop squawking.  However, just because the production has been delayed four times from its original opening date doesn’t mean people don’t want to see it.  Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is the most successful non-open musical I’ve ever seen.  However, it has a release date, so Spider-Man will be making his Broadway debut eventually!  After whiffing on opening days of December 21, 2010; January 7, 2011; and February 7, 2011; producers have finally settled on an official opening day.  The $65-million-dollar Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is set to debut on March 14, 2011.

Producer Michael Cohl said that the play is “ten-times more complicated to tech than anything else. … We simply need more time to fully execute the creative team’s vision before freezing the show.  I picked a date in March that allows me to ensure that this will be the final postponement.”

You keep telling yourself that, Michael.  Maybe, just maybe, it’ll happen this time.  Meanwhile, as the show continues to be delayed, crew members continued to be added or taken away (usually taken away via ambulance after a horrible fall).  Longtime U2 collaborator Steve Lillywhite has joined Bono and The Edge on the musical, though his role was not elaborated upon.  I’d assume he’s the producer of the musical portion, since he’s a Grammy-winning producer and all.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
