Bright Ideas

I'm sure this title will not be sarcastic.

Two movies are coming out which you should know about. Sadly not because of the sheer amount of awesome each represents. Fox is putting out a Family Circus movie, and the Creative Arts Agency is writing a script to make a Rubik's Cube movie.

I'd probably at least rent the rubik's cube one if it involved a cube that gave superpowers or something when it was solved. Sadly it seems that they are writing a script based on a Rubik's Cube speed solving competition. Early reports assume that consumers will get fed up with the movie after 5 minutes tear up the reel and reassemble the movie the easy way.

I might watch the Family Circus one with the help of Riff Trax.

I should have opened with this news.

Back in October The London Times reported that Fifa officials were taking bribes to choose which country would get the 2018 and 2022 Olympics. Saying that Russia had been bribing for the '18 games, and Australia was bribing for the '22 games. There has also been accusations about South Africa (the '10 hosts), Brazil (the upcoming '14 hosts) and USA and Qatar (both '22 hopefuls). These have not been confirmed.

So a high raking offical in FIFA has leaked that England will not win the '18 bid because they broke this news. Meaning that the running is either going to be Spain/Portugal or Russia. Russia says they were entrapped, Fifa says England should have told them before going to print.

But basically if Russia gets the next world cup you'll know what's up. If Spain gets it, it might mean they are trying to draw attention away from this. If England does end up winning it would mean this source is wrong, or that FIFA changed their mind.

The Vote will be on Dec 2nd (at 9am Central Time) for both the '18 host and the '22 host.
