“F@#k’s” premise comes courtesy The Hollywood Reporter:

… tells the fictional story of Bob Sullivan, a man who, seeking solace after his wife leaves him, goes on a bender in Ireland, takes a gambling jaunt to Las Vegas and a embarks on a sex-tourism trip to Thailand.

    This will never happen...

    by the eskimo

    ...with that title unless it goes straigh to DVD, which it might cause I didn't bother to read the article. Sounds intriguing though...too bad Hollywood has only a big gapeing vagina and no man-balls.

    I don't think Dublin is comparable to Vegas or Bangkok...

    by troutmaskreplicant

    Like seriously. I've lived there. It's mostly quite boring. Plus there's an extreme lack of Ladyboys.

    by horace cox

    They'll probably call it THE BINGE or THE BENDER or something generic like that, but they'll have to put "based on the novel..." somewhere in the credits.

    A little premature, eh, Eskimo?

    Why do you want Morgan Freeman to die? Don't you know that he'll be even more powerful in death?

    Dude, I live in Jackson, MS....

    by the eskimo

    ...(I realize you're joking) but I just got an e-mail from a close friend with the MS Hospital Assoc. that was copied to like everybody with this news. If I am premature then I apologize (and will feel like a complete jackass, cause I was being sincere) but that's what I heard.

    I do see that on Google news. Let's hope that is the case. Again I apologize if I was mis-informed, but it just popped up as a new message and I went with it. I'm sure Harry et al have learned the hard way about not verifying sources....but we'll see...

    Eskimo, suck it

    by abominable snowcone

    for falsely reporting the death of one of the greatest actors of our time. I mean, MF's been both the president of the US and God, as well as Batman's supplier. You can't get more cool than that

    I don't see the C

    by ron2112

    Does anyone have any idea why Firefox would be displaying whatever character is replacing the C in the title of this article with a rectangle with "20 B5" in it? A lot of sites are doing this to me lately.

    Huh? Morgan Freeman's fine! Reports said that he was joking with the EMS team that freed him from his car. Some goofy even tried to take a picture of him with his cell, and Freeman joked, "No freebies, no freebies"...Cool cat.

    You may be onto something... I never intended a regimented order to the proceedings, but your suggestion bears further investigating.

    Yep, that's how she's set. UTF-8. It's not just Firefox, either. IE looks the same, on all four of my boxes.
