We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

EMMY ROSSUM HAS DRAGON BALLS

Street Fighter players, help me out here. Is there a name for when you hadouken, then jump across the screen and land in front of your own stupid fireball to get knocked out and lose the match? I need to know, because it’s what Emmy Rossum seems to be doing to her career by signing … Continue reading

MOGWAI RISES WITH VALHALLA

It finally got cold in Atlanta today and decided to rain with some gusto as well — pretty fantastic when your state has been on the verge of running out of water for several months. But because I had stuff to do I couldn’t use the cold, wet afternoon to it’s fullest, which means I’m … Continue reading

TRAILER TOWN!

First up, Trek news. Word is, the first teaser will be attached to Cloverfield. Surprise! None of us have been guessing that for months, no. Moving on. The trailer for Horton Hears A Who…lord help me, but I actually like the look. The look, mind you. Not the joke about Bert from accounting or Horton’s … Continue reading

He could be a sensationally talented young man, a modestly talented middle-aged man, or a sensationally untalented octogenarian who arrived late to the directing game. I don’t care. Even if it’s the former, I fail to see the point in making another … Continue reading

JOKER’S TURN TO TEASE… AGAIN

Looks like we have an explanation for Batman’s forlorn gaze from that high rise window… Woulda never guessed it. Credit where it’s due: over the last couple of weeks, Warner Brothers has run one of the smartest viral marketing campaigns I’ve ever witnessed. Of course, I could be biased on account of getting to answer … Continue reading

IT’S BOND RUMOR TIME AGAIN

An AICN contributor, who wrote in after seeing Daniel Craig interviewed on the UK talk show The Morning Interview, might have some clues to the title of Bond 22. Asked about the title of the upcoming Bond flick, he said (paraphrased, as per the contributor) "It’s more of a number. Because the first movie dealt … Continue reading
