THUD: WHAT A FRACKIN’ TEASE

We’re just a few weeks from the return of Battlestar Galactica for its third season, and anticipation is high. Finally, I’ll have an almost reasonable excuse for being home on Friday nights! In the next few weeks we’ll be having some continuing coverage of the run-up to the premiere, including an exclusive interview with Ron … Continue reading

QUICK BITES 9/10/2006

Simon Pegg couldn’t make it to Comic Con this year, but he did send along a funny video greeting. It has finally made it onto the internet, thanks to the folks at Peggster.com – now what about those great Hot Fuzz microteasers? Click here to see the video on YouTube. Last week I asked who … Continue reading

MGM IS VISITING THE SHIRE

A couple of weeks ago some rumor made the rounds about New Line releasing The Hobbit in 2007. Despite the obvious falseness of that rumor, there may still be hope for Bilbo Baggins and friends – a Variety article about nearly-dead MGM’s return to the big money tent pole business lists The Hobbit as one … Continue reading

IT’S THE NEW THING

The other day I was going to link to Superhero Hype’s new pictures from the set of Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer, but they suddenly disappeared. Now they’ve shown up on Aint It Cool News, and I’m curious how long until Fox asks for them to get yanked from there, which is … Continue reading

THUD: THE PATH TO CENSORSHIP

The liberal media is at it again, as ABC prepares to air The Path to 9/11, a miniseries “docudrama” about the events leading up to the attack on America five years ago. This time the pinkos are taking aim at… Bill Clinton? Yup, the miniseries is being called a blatantly partisan and completely factually incorrect … Continue reading

REVIEW: MAN PUSH CART

What’s your tolerance for misery? Man Push Cart aims to explore how much misery you can take – this little independent film is almost oppressive in how sad it is, and it often comes very close at times to becoming a complete bummer or a maudlin pile of crap. It never quite does, a testament … Continue reading

THIS FILM WILL NEVER BE RATED

John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch is one of my favorite films of the last decade, and I’ve been waiting patiently for his follow-up, Shortbus. The movie is screening here in New York very soon, and while I’m excited to see it, I have to admit that I’m a little nervous to watch … Continue reading
