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

OWEN WILSON IS A TOOL

Considering Devin’s indefatigable adulation for all things Apatow (and Rogen), it feels odd writing about this, like I’m wearing his underwear or something. Oh, man… Now I have to go scrub my mind. Okay, I’m back. So Owen Wilson is starring in a new high-concept comedy (not one of those really complex ones we always … Continue reading

FROM PLANET NABOO TO COMIC BOOK JEW

Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is an incredible book – not because of its wonderful story, or its beautiful, Pulitzer Prize winning prose, but because people who have never read a book by anyone not named Margaret Weis or that wasn’t part of a “Chronicles” or “Trilogy” or “Saga” picked it … Continue reading

PIRATES WILL SAIL ON AND ON AND ON

The second Pirates of the Caribbean hits in just a few weeks (my prediction – #1 movie of the year and an opening weekend that could take down Cameron’s Aquaman), and that will be followed next year by the third film, which was shot more or less simultaneously. Will that be the final voyage of … Continue reading

30 DAYS OF JOSH HARTNETT

If you were a vampire, where would you want to live? Why, as far north as possible, where the sun is only out for half the year. That’s the brilliant basic concept of Steve Niles’ 30 Days of Night, a graphic novel about a small Alaska town beset with bloodsuckers during the wintry months. Unfortunately, … Continue reading

BROKEBACK STARSHIP

I have a zillion interviews to transcribe today, but I had to take time out of that to bring you this most exciting piece of news. While Paramount may be dropping the ball on the Star Trek franchise, the fans just won’t let it die. Especially the gay ones. Star Trek: The Hidden Frontier has … Continue reading

ZOMBIE MOVIES CAN’T BE KILLED

I’m not in the camp that thinks the zombie genre is oversaturated, at least when it’s done right (but then I wrote a pretty great action-horror spec script involving the rotters, so I suppose I’m biased). And although most of the recent movies featuring the shambling undead deserved to be returned to the grave, the cinematic corpses … Continue reading
