What Do Jack Kirby, Sean Connery, Avatar And Sex & City Have In Common? Nothing! I'm Just Lazy!

Who is reading Latinoreview this late at night? Who knows, but I gots stories to tell and imaginations to spark. And I'll start things off with this tale of Marvel woe from Jack Kirby, who is looking to get some copyright claims back from certain Marvel characters he co-created: The estate of Jack Kirby, co-creator of Captain America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, The Avengers, Iron Man, Hulk, The Silver Surfer and Thor and has sent notices terminating copyright to publishers Marvel and Disney, as well as film studios that have made movies and TV shows based on characters he created or co-created, including Sony, Universal, 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.
Just as the Jerry Siegel estate has done so with rights to Superman, so Kirby's estate is looking to regain his share of copyright in the characters and their use in comics and other media. the estate is using the same lawyers as the Siegels, Toberoff & Associates, who have been fairly successful in their case against DC/Warner so far.
Such claims, if found valid, would begin from 2014 and, as always, its worth noting that Marvel/Disney will still own the trademarks of the characters in comics, and the studios in movies. The likelihood is that, if successful, the Kirby estate would enter into negotiation with Marvel over terms to continue publishing comics based on his work.
Good luck with that, Jack! And you're right, I am being sarcastic! I could give two rat testes if you win your case or not.
Moving on to other news, the rumor mill is abuzz with the studios heads hoping to get Sean Connery to come out of retirement and reprise his role as Indiana 's father in the next installment of Indiana Jones called "Indiana Jones and The Who Fucking Gives A Shit About a Fifth Fucking Indiana Jones Movie".
Digitalspy has more:
Studio bosses are reportedly hoping that Sean Connery will return to the Indiana Jones franchise for the next film.
However, producers working on the fifth film of the hugely successful franchise are believed to be considering the idea of tempting Connery back with a major role in the new project, Contactmusic reports.

Here's some things I'd rather see than a 5th Indiana Jones film:
1. Nuclear holocaust. 2. The inside of Rosie O'Donnell's vagina. 3. The Jonas Brothers blowing Zac Efron. 4. A fat man fucking a donkey. 5. Megan Fox in a remake of Sophie's Choice. 6. The New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. 7. A Heidi Montag music video. 8. The Limits of Control. 9. Fox News. 10. White people dancing to 80's music.
Moving on, those old digusting horse face sluts are back in business with the Sex and the City sequel. And Moviegab got some set pics from what is sure to be another crust filled vagathon. I guess these pics are sort of a spoiler as to what happens in the sequel, but if you care about what happens in a Sex and the City movie, then you're a shithead to begin with.
Click on either pic to see more images of batface.
Our last little item is a commercial for Panasonic televisions from Japan or Thailand or one of those countries where people eat dogs and shit California rolls that shows off some scenes from Jim Cameron's Avatar.
Holy crap! you made it all the way to the end! And you know what that means! BONUS MUSIC VIDEO! Let's stay with the Avatar theme and make sure your Monday is a blue one.
