05.13.09 MARTY SCORSESE DIRECTING SINATRA BIOPIC
A fairly-certain-sounding Nikki Finke is reporting exclusively [now confirmed by Variety] that Universal has acquired the rights to a biopic about Frank Sinatra, as well as permission from the Sinatra family, with Martin Scorsese attached to direct.
“This has been a passion project for [producer] Peter Guber for a long time, and first he got together with the Sinatra Estate and then with Scorsese who’s also a huge Sinatra fan,” an insider tells me. Tina [Frank's youngest daughter] herself has told journalists in the past that she would “trust Scorsese implicitly” to “present the truth” about her father because he’s also an Italian-American.
And the best part about it is that it probably torpedoes any shot Brett Ratner had at making the Rat Pack movie he had planned with Chris Tucker (seriously though, that was on the table at one point). Wow, a movie about Sinatra from the guy who did Goodfellas? Can you imagine? I think I just wopgasmed. Can’t stop… gesturing at crotch…

I can see your fucking IP addy, fucker.
As Ricky I get to say “fuck” a lot.
Or I can go back to Al and call you a cocksucker.
When reached for comment, Italians turned the volume down to Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” playing in their IROCs and said “OOOOHH!”
Al, are you busting 6ways/DeJesus/Smoke’em’s balls?
I smell a shit rat in the shit rat pack.
Among “others”, yes. It’s just been that kind of day and I don’t need any further aggrevation.

I NEED A HUG!
Zac Efron was born to play Joey Bishop.
I’ll hug you Ricky. Want to wear Randy’s Tonto costume?
*hugs Al, gives her a little there there pat on the ass*
Those are my boobs you’re patting, Bex. You’re not very good at this, are you?
*bursts in to hug Al, falls on inflated baby pool full of jell-o hi-jinx ensue
A wopgasm is when you jizz hair gel and Drakar Noir
That would explain why Bexy’s dick gets crap on it whenever he tries jugfucking.
durst
Simon?
Hey bex. Good to see the enchiladapocalypse didn’t get you.
yeah im finally out of my bunker ready to bring the unfunny to FD
Lookin’ trim, Randy.
I got new pants. They’re so comfortable. My other ones were so tight!
Are they going to include the part where Sinatra joins a cult and sacrifices small children? Or is that Bob Hope?
The American Pie, Creed atrocity from earlier played Sinatra Jr. Yep, the imdb is my friend. My only friend. I would cry if ghosts had tears.
Hey so yeah, I forgot to mention I borrowed the BTK van yesterday and well. . . I couldn’t find the Megan Fox film set so it probably smells like livestock now.
Don’t ask.
