It has been 25 years since George of the Jungle came out, and now the movie’s lead is apologizing to San Fransisco.
Over the weekend, Brendan Fraser’s new movie Whale played at the Mill Valley Film Festival, and he had a message for the locals. He told them, “My bad. It won’t happen again.”
What was his bad? There was a scene where Geroge of the Jungle had to save a man whose parachute got stuck on the Golden Gate Bridge. Since the movie had the budget, they used the real SF landmark. However, they used a fake man in a parachute.
Well, San Franciscans believed it was a real man, so they stopped traffic to watch as his fate unfolded. They weren’t the only ones, so did the local news. They broke into The Oprah Winfrey Show to report on the parachutist. And that is real fake news for those of you who scream fake news.
Anyways, Fraser is sorry and will not film another harrowing scene from the Golden Gate Bridge again.

In June, fans of BTS were sad when the band announced that they were taking a break. Today, they got even more upsetting news because they will not reunite until 2025 so that they can serve in the South Korean military.
The band’s music label wrote, “Bright Music is proud to announce today that the members of BTS are currently moving forward with plans to fulfill their military service. After the phenomenal concert to support Busan’s bid for the World Expo 2030, and as each individual embarks on solo endeavors, it’s the perfect time and the members of BTS are honored to serve.
“Since the creation of BTS over ten years ago, the band has risen to international success, broken records, and catapulted K-Pop into the global stratosphere. Bright Music has focused to the milestone moment when it would be possible to respect the needs of the country and for these healthy young men to serve with their countrymen, and that’s now. Group member Jin will initiate the process as soon as his schedule for his solo release is concluded at the end of October. He will then follow the enlistment procedure of the Korean government. Other members of the group plan to carry out their military service based on their own individual plans. Both the company and the members of BTS are looking forward to reconvening as a group again around 2025 following their service commitment.”
You have to respect them for honoring their duty and serving in the military because they could’ve defected at any time. But they didn’t. They will be back, and they will be better than ever.
Sylvester Stallone is doing something he hasn’t ever done before in his nearly 50-year career. He is going to star in a television series. And I am all for it after watching the above trailer.
TULSA KING follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone) just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters, helping establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.
The series debuts November 13th on Paramount+ and will stream a new episode weekly.
