Points of Interest, Today's Edition

1) Been listening to this dude's music a helluva lot lately, take from this what you/I will. Always considered Cage one of the more underrated lyricists around, but going back to his catalog over the last week or so, it's a truth even more-largely solidified. Dude raps his ass off, and goes at topics and subject matter that are truly secular to him and him alone.



May come off as blasphemy, but in the grand scheme, I may even prefer Cage to Eminem. ***Ducks an onslaught of bile***

2) Iron Man was pretty awesome, though it isn't appearing on any of my own personal nobody-else-cares-about-it-anyway "Best Of '08's Films" lists. But the rumors swirling around its in-development sequel point to Tony Stark's next two villains as:



Black Widow, and Hawkeye. If proven true, the sequel seems in good shape. Here's to Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers; The Lookout) being cast as Ms. Widow, if so. Cute as hell, charismatic on screen, unconventional for this kinda role. Works for me.


3) Some new on-set images from Inglourious Basterds have popped online? Nice! Ones that show the pain-staking detail(s) that Tarantino continues to achieve = even nicer. I love fake posters, and things of this nature, in films.
