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

SING IT: OUR STAR BLAZERS!!!

Two cartoons I remember fondly and vividly from my youth are Speed Racer and Star Blazers. Why? Because they were the first ones I saw that had characters die, sometimes in giant fireball explosions. Now production company Benderspink is picking at that nostalgia scab and planning their own live-action Star Blazers. The property previously spent … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 4.24.06

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHAIRPIECE

Holee shit. I don’t usually run set photos, but these pics snapped on the set of We Are Marshall need to be seen. The film is the true story of Marshall University’s football team, which got decimated in a plane crash. Matthew McConaughey, seen here in astonishing 70s get-up, plays the new coach who comes … Continue reading

PROOF OF GRIND HOUSE

Like we mentioned the other day RIGHT HERE, it seems that all (or most) of the rumors about problems on Grind House aren’t anything to worry about, but tiny chunks are still slipping through the veil of secrecy enshrouding the project. The script for Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino’s half of the exploitation-style double-feature, is apparently making … Continue reading

TO BOLDLY NOT GO AWAY

I keep checking the calendar to make sure I didn’t slide back in time about three weeks to the beginning of April, but nope… this is apparently not a hoax. After making his feature directing debut on what is reportedly one seriously kickass espionage flick with Mission: Impossible 3, JJ Abrams is bravely throwing himself … Continue reading

HOTTIE vs. ZOMBIE

Zombie western. That’s a horror amalgam genre fans have been anxiously awaiting, and it looks like we’re finally getting it with a flick called Wanted: Undead or Alive. Unfortunately, it stars spastic SNL graduate Chris Kattan. But on the positive side, the Old West tale of the living dead will also feature delicious ethnic blend Navi … Continue reading

AUTOBOTS AND ACTORS

Michael Bay’s future blockbuster Transformers is getting ready to film, and we’re starting to hear names of the people portraying characters whose alternate forms aren’t cars and radios and oversized handguns. Gawky youngster Shia LaBeouf (Holes, Constantine) will play the main fleshling caught up in the war between Autobots and Decepticons, huge intelligent robots who can change … Continue reading
