1408 sounds like a significant number. I tried coming up with some trivia for the lead in, but could only come up with boring stuff like a bill from Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, introduced "to strengthen data protection and safeguards, require data breach notification, and further prevent identity theft" (it’s still pending). It’s also the … Continue reading
All apologies to the creators of We Are Marshall.
Before Lionsgate releases Fido to go lurching its way to the general US public on June 15, movie lobby patrons will have this poster to whet their whistle. If blood-soaked picket fences and man-FUP can be counted as whistle whetters. In the tradition of Benji, Free Willy and Night of the Living Dead, Fido tells … Continue reading
Oh how the M Nighty has fallen. Just a couple of years ago, Nina Jacobson was fired from Disney after she shit on the script for Lady in the Water and the filmmaker split for Warner Bros… where he made the movie and it flopped.

Remember when important films/filmmakers earned the right to have the directors name appear as part of the title? I.e- A Stanley Kubrik film. A Steven Spielberg film. A film by Martin Scorsese. Since when did silly pieces of ass-foolery like a Rush Hour sequel get the right to say A Brett Ratner film as if … Continue reading
(I have to give shout-outs to THUD readers Jarrett D. and Phil H. for sending me the uncensored version of that Wire clip I mentioned last week. Unfortunately, I was looking for the censored clip with all the tape hiss that appeared on BET. But watching it again was awesome, so thanks!) As anyone who … Continue reading
As the Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth barrels its way towards being An Inevitable Oscarwinner, the movie still has the ability to rile up those with superstitious minds more suited for the Dark Ages than the 21st century. After Frosty Hardiman (apparently his actual name and not just his Collider.com alias) learned that his … Continue reading
This morning’s New York Times has an article about Grindhouse, the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez movie opening this April.

But there’s been a perfect storm of interest here: the fans have just about had enough … Continue reading
