It’s funny how much we get caught by online April Fools gags even though we’re looking for them. As some of you know, Rodney got a lot of you yesterday with his fake report of me and Doug seeing Transformers upon our arrival here in Los Angeles. That was a good one.

Man, I was hoping that the Goonies comic book was real when I read the magazine but somehow I knew better.

“Dark Horizons has a bunch of scoops: Spider-Man 4 announced for May 2008, Al Pacino joins The Departed 2, and plans for The Bourne Legacy.”
You know the funny thing, I heard something about a Departed 2 and a Departed Prequel being a possibility a couple of months ago, but I do not remember where. The Sequel was going to have Mark Wahlberg in it exposing a state Senator higher up on the crime ladder, and there was talk that is was going to be Pacino and the prequel was going to be about Jack’s character and Martin Sheen’s character, as they were growing up.

The best one I read was a post saying Alfie was looking forward to the Transformers film, and he liked all the pictures leaked to the web.

New to the blog, but when I read the report from April 01, I freaked.
But to hear it was a joke, I felt so much relief… The Transformers movie is still going to be great.
