Speaking Out As Hollywood Burns?

July 5, 2013 by Steven Savage

Serdar’s latest post at his blog notes the issue of films being events – and the concern comes from none other than Gore Verbinski. He’s concerned films are events now, multiplatform ones, and Hollywood’s excesses are in trouble from expenses and good TV.

There is Stan Lee Signature Cologne, “Nuff Said.”

Yeah. I know.

Also there will soon be Steve Savage cologne. It smells like tea and Japanese Curry. You get it by visiting my apartment and having tea and Japanese Curry.

Actually, I think this is another sign of Geek Normalization. Just a manly-smelling one.
