SUNNY DAYS AHEAD FOR CHLOE

For me, it’s always kind of odd to refer to Mary Lynn Rajskub as 24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub. I know that’s her signature now, but I’ve never bothered watching the show. To me, she’s the comedy chick from Mr. Show and The Larry Sanders Show, and she always will be.  Great for her that she’s … Continue reading

SPIDER-MAN NO MORE?

Is Tobey Maguire sick of money? He may be, if his comments to the Australian Courier-Mail newspaper are any indication. While Down Under to promote The Good German (of which he is the best part), Maguire said that he feels like Spider-Man is a trilogy and that it’s all been wrapped up as far as … Continue reading

MEDIA REPORTS (3.5.07)

1. WIZARD – APRIL ’07 The comic book industry has their glossy, all encompassing magazine and it is this one. They tend to have their formula and stick to it, but sometimes they’ll surprise you.

KHAZAKHSTAN GETS SMART

IESB is reporting that at the junket for Shooter, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura was talking up G.I. Joe, which … Continue reading

HEART-SHAPED BOX

You may or may not remember that back in 2005, there was an impending thriller with a lot of star power attached called Lonely Hearts. The film – starring John Travolta, James Gandolfini, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek, and Laura Dern – was a 40s set true crime story about murderous lovers (Leto and Hayek) who … Continue reading

QUINT IN THE MIST

The A in AICN sometimes means Access – these guys get all the good access. More power to them, he says as he chokes down his own jealousy. This time the gang at AICN, or more specifically jet-setter Quint, is down in Louisiana on the set of Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist. … Continue reading

SEINFELD IN FRAGMENTS

For many people, one of the highlights of the Oscar ceremony last Sunday was Jerry Seinfeld introducing the Best Documentary Oscar with a little bit of stand-up about going to the movies, where he poked some fun at the nominees as ‘depressing.’ If that was an audition for hosting the next ceremony… consider me sold. … Continue reading
