MTV News was talking to Rose Byrne (why? Dunno, maybe just because she’s hot and they’re always looking for an excuse) and asked her about James Bond 22. It seems Byrne was rumored to be Bond’s babe back in Casino Royale, so I guess MTV wanted to see if those rumors were true this time … Continue reading
The new Will Smith superhero movie, originally titled Tonight, He Comes, has been changing its title as it has been shooting. First the film was retitled John Hancock, which sounds like a movie set in 1776. Now it’s been shortened even further, to just Hancock. Han Cock. That’s what Harrison Ford slipped Carrie Fisher, I … Continue reading
Confession time: I haven’t watched anything on Saturday Night Live in years. I’ll catch a skit or short here or there on YouTube, but in general, I’ve left the show behind. Or maybe it’s left me behind. Either way, SNL works for the people for whom it works, and I’m not one of those. But … Continue reading
Sometimes you just have to sit up and say, ‘Yay, internet.’ You can be forgiven for thinking that the net has devolved into nothing more than flame wars, kiddie porn and inane cat memes perpetrated by retards… but every now and again a new website pops up that makes you remember the magic of this … Continue reading
Sure, I may think Heroes is a terrible show, but that doesn’t mean I can’t bring the aggressive manlove to star Milo Ventimiglia at Comic Con.
I just realized that my 2007 Top Ten is going to be choked with comedies. And the first great comedy I saw this year has to be Hot Fuzz, the astounding follow-up to Shaun of the Dead which has stood up to a record six viewings by yours truly. This is a movie that just … Continue reading
Let me be up front: I believe in Zack Snyder and his take on Watchmen. As much as I think Paul Greengrass’ version would have been amazing, I think that Snyder’s vision is a strong one. He gets and loves the material, and I think he’ll be able to translate it faithfully and visually dynamically … Continue reading
According to Jeff Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere, Superbad isn’t tracking as well as it should be. Awareness is not as high as I would like – this is a movie that is amazing enough that I walked in with elevated expectations and still found them exceeded. On the surface Superbad is a ‘teens trying to … Continue reading
You may have seen photos of the poster above, which premiered at Zack Snyder’s Watchmen panel and was given out to fans at Comic Con, but this is the official release. What you’re looking at is brand new Dave Gibbons art from one of the most seminal scenes in comic book history – the killing … Continue reading
I hate going to movies at Comic Con, because they play at night and cut right into my valuable drinking time. But this year there was one movie that made me forsake the bottle for a couple of hours: Superbad. I don’t know how I lucked out to be alive in a year where I … Continue reading
