Chad and Christine

Our friend Mandy and Christine’s Mom threw us a fantastic baby shower. Our closest friends and family came and were very generous. We walked away with some great loot, but getting to see all our friends again was the best gift we could ask for.

More pictures are coming, I have to wait till people send them to me. For now, this is all I have.

Thank you everyone, especially Mandy and Debbie for all their hard work.

Congratulations to Jimmy for winning the identify the candybar melted in the diaper contest.

My old high school and BLET  buddy, got married today. Above is a picture of myself, Justin (middle), and Jason (left) another BLET friend.

Darren Aronofsky Directing New ROBOCOP

While plot details are unconfirmed, the new ROBOCOP is rumored to be more sequel than remake.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM) has signed Darren Aronofsky to direct and David Self to write a new installment for its “RoboCop” franchise. Aronofsky, the director of The Fountain, and Self, the writer of Road to Perdition, make a formidable creative team, fast tracking the RoboCop motion picture and spotlighting it as one of the most anticipated new films for 2010.

In making the announcement Parent said: “Darren is undeniably one of the most talented, original and visceral film makers, and David is one of the greatest writers in Hollywood. All of us at MGM couldn’t be more excited.”

Phoenix Pictures’ Mike Medavoy, Arnold Messer, Brad Fischer and David Thwaites will produce “RoboCop.” Cale Boyter, Executive Vice President Production at MGM will oversee the project for the studio.

Phoenix Pictures’ Chairman and CEO Mike Medavoy said: “After making the first ‘RoboCop’ at Orion more than 20 years ago, I’m thrilled to be helping to return this character to the screen with our partners at MGM and through the eyes of Darren Aronofsky and David Self.”

Phoenix co-presidents Brad Fischer and David Thwaites added: “With a filmmaker of Darren Aronofsky’s vision and imagination and a writer of David Self’s caliber, we are poised to bring to the screen an entertaining and provocative film, which will now be under the creative guidance of two of the best storytellers working in our industry today.”

The original RoboCop, which premiered in 1987, was “part man, part machine and all cop.” The film’s storyline focused on the future of law enforcement as a terminally wounded cop returns to the police force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories. The original film was nominated for two Academy Awards — Best Film Editing and Best Sound.
