But if her turn as warrior-whore Gail wasn’t enough to satisfy comic geeks, this … Continue reading
Rather than broaden his filmmaking skills beyond people standing around reciting overwritten dialogue, writer-director Kevin Smith has literally gone back to where he started with Clerks 2. The sequel (which I pray has dropped the idiotic subtitle The Passion of the Clerks) picks up ten puffy years later, with strip mall employees Dante and Randal … Continue reading
Though their Grindhouse project is still a vapormovie (I think they may start shooting later this month), directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are chronicling the experience for a 250 page “companion” book that should theoretically be on shelves before the movie’s tentative September release date. The book info from Rodriguez’s site: An insider’s look into … Continue reading

X-Men 3 may indeed be the last movie featuring Professor Chuck’s student collective (until the inevitable Homo Superior solo movies, anyway), so it seems like the filmmakers are intent on cramming as many mutants from Marvel’s past pages into the potentially final film.
