It’s a good day when I can bring you one thing from the Apatowverse, and today I’m bringing you three things. The greatness of this offsets your dog/mother/baby dying or you getting dumped for a guy with a fauxhawk* or those weeping red sores on your genitals. Yes, this is just that good. ITEM #1! … Continue reading
Empire Magazine is doing this neat thing where they’re slowly unveiling a new image of the Joker over the next few days. The only problem is that the image is the cover of their next issue, and someone has already sent out a jpg of that cover, thus killing their reveal. Sorry, good and liked … Continue reading
One cheer for email… and another 20 by way of my knobby knuckles to its digital privates. That’s about the ratio of good email I get to the ratio of promises to turn my junk into a sequel to Anaconda or tap the fast track to a life of wealth based on a degree I … Continue reading

How so, you ask? In a 40-year … Continue reading

And while I feel for the one-time fringe Frat Pack-er, I’m especially pleased to learn that the first bit of casting on Shutter Island is … Continue reading
This feeling… what is it? If forced to describe it, I might say I was… excited about a Tim Burton movie. It’s been years since I’ve felt this way – maybe a decade or more? – and it’s weird. But it’s also nice. I am psyched about Burton’s version of Sweeney Todd. I’m not 100% … Continue reading
OFN: Old Fuckin’ News. There’s nothing worse on the internet than Old Fuckin’ News; stories that are a day old – sometimes hours old! – fall into the OFN category on the web.We try not to bring you OFN.
