This weekend I had an argument with someone about video game movies. The person thought that there could never be a good movie made from a video game, while I said that there’s no reason the basic structure of a video game couldn’t be grafted onto a good story. Sure, video game movies until now … Continue reading
Is movement on a new Indiana Jones film happening? And was it because of all the prunes he ate in the nursing home? Indiana Jones IV (that stands for how they feed the old bastard now – seriously, I have a million of these and I’m not afraid to use them) has been what Dave … Continue reading
Break out, Will Arnett! You can do it! Arnett, one of the funniest things about the incredibly funny Arrested Development (I had to keep pausing tonight’s episode because of “ANALRAPIST” and Bob Loblaw. I just laughed and laughed and laughed), is slowly making himself a movie career. Or at the very least he’s digging out … Continue reading
What’s this monkey so curious about, huh? And what’s that damn yellow hat signify? (The site http://www.gaycityusa.com/HANKYCODES.htm would seem seem to tell us that, depending on what color you read that hat as, The Man in the Yellow Hat may be into piss, be a drooler, or have an 8 inch cock. I wonder if … Continue reading
Producer David List said it, and Kevin Smith has confirmed it – Silent Bob is off of Fletch Won. List, weirdly breaking the news on an IMDB message board (I didn’t believe it at first, but as I said, Smith has confirmed), claims that the split was friendly, and that it all came down to … Continue reading
I find myself in a weird position this morning. It seems that my editorial from last night about the box office take of Serenity (and I think it’s important to stress here that it’s an editorial, an opinion piece) has attracted the attention of no less a luminary than Joss Whedon himself. This is sort … Continue reading
By all rights I should hate the films of Cameron Crowe. They’re all essentially good natured, and sweet, and about the best qualities of people. I hate that stuff. But what makes his films work for me – hell, more than work; Crowe is one of my favorite modern filmmakers – is the fact that … Continue reading

It’s like the battle of Serenity Valley all over again. The numbers are in and the Browncoats lost – Joss Whedon’s Serenity underperformed at the box office this weekend in a pretty big way, making it incredibly unlikely that there will ever be a sequel. Across America something under 1 million fans are scratching their … Continue reading
David Cronenberg is back from his time in the wilderness. It’s been almost 20 years since his box office peak, The Fly, and his films in the decades since have been either non-commercial or aggressively non-commercial (M. Butterfly hasn’t even been released on DVD yet). Interestingly, Cronenberg didn’t leave behind an ounce of his artistry … Continue reading
