Legendary comedian George Carlin dead at 71.

Reuters had the news:

Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart problems, died at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

Known for his edgy, provocative material, Carlin achieved status as an anti-Establishment icon in the 1970s with stand-up bits full of drug references and a routine about seven dirty words you could not say on television. A regulatory battle over a radio broadcast of his “Filthy Words” routine ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court.

Carlin worked with Keanu in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

As I announced earlier, Keanu was a guest at the tonight show with Jay Leno last thursday, I made a few screencaptures from his appearance and you can find them in the gallery:

For those of you who missed it, for whatever reason, DON’T WORRY I made a video clip from the interview and posted it in the video archive (along with two clips from his appearance on jay leno 5 years ago).

Keanu has the third most perfect beauty face, according a study done at University of Nebraska .

Leonardo da Vinci and other Old Masters were masters in what they did, and now a new study has further justified this by finding that a code designed by them as a guide to paint the perfect beauty is still valid.

The Renaissance artists followed six Neo-Classical criteria in defining a beautiful face. Read more →

ComingSoon.net learned at the American Film Market (AFM) today that shooting for Point Break 2 will begin mid-2008 in Southeast Asia. The sequel will be financed and executive produced by Singaporean company RGM Entertainment. It will be written and directed by Peter Iliff, who also wrote the first movie.

Point Break 2 picks up from where the original film left off more than 15 years ago. The story will revolve around an ex-professional surfer who enlists in the US Navy and is recruited to track down a criminal gang based in Southeast Asia. The audience will also discover the fate of Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), the surfers’ charismatic leader who was swallowed by a giant killer wave in the final scene of Point Break. Did he really die?

The follow-up is budgeted at $20-30 million.

“I wrote ‘Point Break’ in 1987 when I was still a struggling writer waiting at tables in Malibu,” Iliff said earlier this year, “‘Point Break’ was the turning point and it made my screen writing career. 20 years later, I’m thrilled to have been given the opportunity by RGM Entertainment to write the sequel and to make my directorial debut with ‘Point Break 2.’”
