UPDATED: MPAA’S ANTI-HOOD POLICY PERSISTS

In its most ludicrous decision since the censoring of the one-sheet for Michael Winterbottom’s The Road to Guantanamo (exclusively unveiled by CHUD back in ’06), the MPAA has rejected the poster for Alex Gibney’s Oscar short-listed documentary, Taxi to the Dark Side, because its depiction of torture "is not suitable for all audiences".

THE FUTURE BEGINS HERE

When Ain’t It Cool broke the story that Christian Bale was in Terminator 4, playing John Connor, one of my sources became confused.

ED NORTON IS ALSO OUT OF PLAY

Kevin MacDonald must be getting an ulcer. His follow-up to The Last King of Scotland, State of Play, has been anything but smooth sailing even before a frame of film is shot. The script got rewritten a number of times, going between writers all the way up to the strike. Then star Brad Pitt, unhappy … Continue reading
