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

THINGS WE LOST TO THE HULK

We haven’t seen much from Ed Norton’s The Incredible Hulk, so these just-posted-to-AICN pictures may be of interest to those of you excited about this small, independent project. Judging from the above, it looks like Hulk has landed in an alternate universe Harlem overrun by French Canadians. Judging from the below, he’s none too pleased … Continue reading

MCLOVIN STRIKES BACK

I didn’t see Superbad until a few weeks after its theatrical bow, and – whether it was the expectations and hype being too high or the fact that I wasn’t seeing it in a packed theater with a raucous audience – I sadly left the theater underwhelmed. To this day, I still can’t put my … Continue reading

RUN, TRAILER, RUN

Between the ace usage of The Fratellis’ “Chelsea Dagger”, the appearances of Simon Pegg and Hank Azaria, and the random slapping together of scenes without any sort of voiceover or narrative, I was quite intrigued by the initial teaser for Run Fat Boy Run. Things only got better when I saw that Pegg was co-writing … Continue reading

UHURA AND ZOE

J.J. Abrams may be methodically busting up my dream Trek crew, but Zoe Saldana claiming what was rightfully Rihanna’s is acceptable; after all, she was in Center Stage (which should’ve been one of my Guilty Pleasures entries, even though the write-up would’ve violated the terms of my probation). For the record, anyone who was even … Continue reading

PARKER VS. (ALMOST) PARKER

Here’s hoping Tobey Maguire isn’t over Jake Gyllenhaal’s near-theft of his leading role in Spider-Man 2, ‘cuz all that tension could help turn Jim Sheridan’s remake of Susanne Bier’s very good Brothers into the male version of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?. In fact, I’d drop the wife character (played in the original by the … Continue reading

OLIVER STONE’S DUBYA

Q: A natural fit for you would be George [W. Bush]. With the father, the son, the war and conversations with God, it sounds like something right out of a movie. Is that something that might interest you?Oliver Stone: (Big smile) Yes. Very much so. (The room echoes with laughter and scattered applause.) Q: How … Continue reading

TEASER OF THE JESUS LION 2

I hated The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe worse than thugs who punch my grandmother in the stomach so it’s unlikely I’ll see the follow-up or the seemingly endless religious fantasy films from the series planned to attack us every year until mankind goes sterile. Some of you liked it, taste be damned, so … Continue reading

TOUCH MTV FILMS, THEY’RE SICK

The first time I saw a promo for HBO’s Flight of the Conchords, I was sorely tempted to buy a ticket for the “Man, HBO’s Sunday nights are fucking done” train. After exploding with a long string of landmark pop culture touchstones, it almost seemed like a regression to throw up this tiny musical/comedy weirdness … Continue reading
