There will be a clearer, sharper theatrical trailer for I Am Legend posted shortly (and we’ll link that here, too), but for those of you who can’t wait to see the vampires/cannibals/bitey things in action… would you settle for a dog running on a treadmill??? We do get a few glimpses of the bloodsucking beasties … Continue reading
If only all prospective suitors were so honest.
Dear morons who watched all three seasons of Hope and Faith: you’re suddenly, if briefly, useful. Megan Fox, the tattooed temptress of Michael Bay’s Transformers, has just been cast as the lead in Diablo Cody’s follow-up to Juno, Jennifer’s Body, and, given the limited range of emotions – i.e. "fear" and "fuck me" – displayed … Continue reading
