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
Towards the end of my hour long one on one with Brett Ratner on the set of Zak Penn’s imrov poker comedy The Grand, Dave Davis came over. He had been wondering where I had gotten off to, and was amazed to see that I was still talking to Ratner. Mostly, it seems, he was … Continue reading
Scarlett Johansson is not lacking attention or press coverage. In fact, she’s reached a point where there’s as much talk about her talent as her hotness. Don’t get me wrong, her looks definitely merit the magazine covers and commercial endorsements, but her acting abilities will keep her working a lot longer. This week she takes … Continue reading
Ian McShane has made a career out of playing menacing, immoral men and we love him for it – particularly the dastardly reckless Al Swearengen of HBO’s ‘Deadwood.’ This week, however, the actor takes a lighter turn in Woody Allen’s comedy-murder mystery ‘Scoop,’ alongside Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman and Allen himself. McShane plays recently deceased … Continue reading
Could one on ones with Jon Favreau be a Comic Con tradition? I certainly hope so. Last year I talked to him about Zathura and practical special effects as well as growing up in Queens; this year it’s all Iron Man. That’s Favreau’s next picture, which should begin filming in February. The movie doesn’t have … Continue reading

It was pretty weird seeing Neil LaBute [Nick’s interview from 2003] at Comic Con. I got the impression that he felt just as weird being there. He showed up to talk about his Wicker Man remake, and to show the first few minutes of the movie, which does a twist on the old “guy getting … Continue reading
***WARNING***Good day. Since so much of our site’s content is lost in other designs, hampered by ad code messing with the pages, or surrounded by gas and low on evil, I’m going to start reprinting them for new eyes. You’ll see classic Smilin’ Jack Ruby, stuff from me when I was relevant, early Devin, and … Continue reading
Edgar Wright came fresh from finishing principal photography on Hot Fuzz in rainy England to Comic Con in sunny San Diego. The Hot Fuzz footage he and Nick Frost presented to the crowd on Sunday was hilarious – this isn’t “Shaun and Ed join the police,” and Simon Pegg’s supercop character seems especially delightful. They … Continue reading
Omnipresent megaproducer Joel Silver was at Comic Con this past weekend to help spread the word (and locusts) on his upcoming Warner Bros. supernatural thriller The Reaping, which stars Hilary Swank as a professional “myth debunker” who encounters an unexplainable phenomenon in a small Louisiana town. We sat down for a quick chat with “Lord” … Continue reading
