Better Late Than Never

Den of Geek.com has a late review of ‘In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale’ by a woman named Sarah Dobbs.  It’s very lengthy and detailed, but I thought it was fun reading.  I’m a big geek myself so I kind of liked her review.  I couldn’t tell whether or not she was a Jason fangirl, but I bet she wouldn’t have liked the movie as much were he not in it.

 

Happy Fourth of July!

I want to wish my fellow Americans a wonderful Fourth of July!  Geesh…I sound like someone running for office.  Being a patriotic American, I feel I must acknowledge the anniversary of our nation’s birth.  Of course, it’s a holiday for us too–no work–and that’s the best part of the deal.  I don’t know how to relate this post to Jason since he’s British and probably wouldn’t care.  But if he celebrates our holiday with lots of partying, dancing and drink, then he’s done the right thing.  He can also throw a firecracker or two if he wants if they allow that in L.A.  We plan to spend the Fourth at my mother-in-laws, grillin’ and chillin’!

 

‘Bank Job’ Interview & 2-Disc DVD Review

Thanks to amazing fangirl JJ for this video link of an interview Jason and Saffron did with a tv affiliate in Sacramento early this March!  It was the perfect contribution in honor of the DVD release of ‘The Bank Job’.  It looks like he did it the same day as the Regis and Kelly appearance since he’s wearing the same outfit at the time.

Also, here’s a review of ‘The Bank Job’ 2-Disc Special Edition DVD.  The ’special’ part just sounds like the digital copy of the film.  Donna Marie told us about what the bonus features on the regular DVD are and they I don’t see any difference.

 

The British Are On It

Now British news is reporting that Jason is “dating” Sarah Larson and–go figure–they’ve quoted Perez.  How lame is that?  Having a meal with someone and a few other friends does not constitute dating.  If that were the case, I must be dating my general manager, my two female co-workers and the other manager down the hall since we all had lunch last week.  Wow…a real orgy!  On the other hand, I’m happy for Jason because he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves after all these years.  I know it’s probably false information and just rumors.  But it’s nice when someone says “Who’s Jason Statham?  What movies has he been in?” and be able to talk about him and encourage people to see his movies and make new fans for him.  These stories are facilitating Jason talk.  Sometimes bad publicity ain’t so bad if it puts his name out there.

 

Academy Buzz for ‘The Bank Job’?

AZCentral.com has put out its list of their Top Ten Best Movies for the first half of this year and ‘The Bank Job’ is one of them.  They’re saying that most times the big movies come out closer to Academy Award voting time, but there have already been some Oscar contenders that have been released earlier this year and we shouldn’t forget them.  Granted, the list includes ‘WALL-E’ and ‘Kung Fu Panda’, but you have to remember that there is a Best Animated Film category for the Oscars.  Obviously, ‘The Bank Job’ would be under the Best Picture category…we can only hope!

7 The Bank Job: A period piece, in the best possible way. Jason Statham stars as a low-level crook in way over his head on a job that involves the highest levels of British society. Yes, that means the royal family. Fast-paced and fun (at least until things get ugly), it’s based on a 1971 robbery. Director Roger Donaldson gets the spirit of the times just right, and it’s a big step up for Statham.

 

Chowing At Mr. Chows

Thanks to JJ for this X17.com video of Jason leaving Mr. Chows last Thursday night.  Wow!  All those paps and all those flashbulbs!  I bet he hasn’t been hounded that much before.  It looks like it was a business dinner to me.  His manager Steve Chasman was the guy putting his hand on Jason’s arm and urging him to leave.  Don’t know who the other guy Jason was hugging….maybe a producer or director talking to them about a project?

 

The Full Story

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Jason and Sarah weren’t having dinner alone.  They were with other people.  Screw TMZ and Perez…nasty asses making up their own little rumors and misguiding the masses.  Here’s the true story…

At Blush (Wynn) on Tuesday for the first King of Clubs event: record producer Irv Gotti, actor Jason Statham and Planet Hollywood’s Robert Earl. They were celebrating the birthday of Greg Jarmolowich, a managing partner at Privé nightclub at Planet Hollywood Resort. Earlier, Statham, who starred in many of Guy Ritchie’s films, and local model Sarah Larson, George Clooney’s ex, were seated together during dinner with friends at Simon at Palms Place. …

 

 

Perez Hilton Disses Jason

Guess who is talking about our boy and Sarah Larson?  None other than Perez Hilton with his famous celebrity gossip site.  He is also talking about the rumors that the couple had dinner in Vegas last night.  Granted, he did call Jason a “hot hot actor”, but then he dissed him by saying Sarah was “effing her way down the celeb food chain”.  I personally think that Jason’s pretty high up on that.  I know I’m biased, but how many actors can say they’ve made several movies in the last year or two?  He’s been very busy working and climbing up that ladder.  There was no reason for Perez to be rude.

 

TMZ.com Report

I know how we all feel about TMZ and how over-the-top and intrusive they can be.  But I have to report this little TMZ tidbit because it’s out there and it’s hard to ignore.  Can this be true?  And if it is…hey…it’s just dinner right?  And we know how some of these sources usually 1) make up stuff and B) don’t even recognize Jason and it’s really someone else.  And if it were Jason….what if it was just a business dinner?  But if it really was Jason and was for pleasure…good for him!  She was one of People magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People.  Not too shabby.  

Party Favors: Jason Statham Taking Clooney’s Sloppies?

Vegas Confidential’s spies spotted George Clooney’s ex Sarah Larson and Brit boy Jason Statham having dinner at Simon at Palms Place last night.

 

New Pics of Jason

Thanks to loyal fangirl Maria for these pictures from JFX Online of Jason taking a “leisurely walk” around L.A. last week.  He still looks a little irritated at the paps, but at a time when ‘The Bank Job’ is being released on DVD, the ‘Transporter 3′ trailer has hit the internet and ’Death Race’ is about to come out at the theaters…I don’t think he can avoid all the publicity and Jason fever sweeping the world.  I, for one, cannot get enough of Jason!
