I just came from a whirlwind one on one with Watchmen director Zack Snyder here at Comic Con, and while he wouldn’t confirm or deny it, it was obvious that he’s going to cast Gerard Butler as the desperate castaway in The Tales of the Black Freighter, the pirate comic within Watchmen. Maybe. That maybe … Continue reading
I can’t let Jeremy be the only sweaty liveblogger here at the Con this year. So while there’s little chance that Warner’s is going to surprise us with any info today, I’m typing live from Hall H. There’s a pretty pathetic Batman and Robin sitting nearby, but if I can get the number of the … Continue reading

Last week, the four leads from the amazingly funny Superbad hit town to promote the film. Andrew Sweeney [whose work in getting this recorded and prepared is phenomenal] and myself met with them on the Superbad Tour Bus at the Warped Tour in Atlanta. Those leads are: Jonah Hill, who plays Seth to vulgar perfection … Continue reading
I was happy that The Onion picked one of my favorite Simpsons jokes ever as one of theirs ("Are you being ironic?" "I just don’t know any more!") But I have spent the last couple years not watching The Simpsons, so there’s much I’ve missed. Somehow I doubt the quality of the movie will change … Continue reading
On the off chance that something momentous might get broken at Paramount’s big panel o’ product, I’ve decided to live blog this nonsense for your goddamn benefit – because if you’re going to hang on each morsel of casting news, title news or on-the-fly descriptions of footage that will be on YouTube before the end … Continue reading
Looking at our message boards and around the internet, it seems like people don’t much like the Beowulf trailer. We knew this was going to happen. Devin’s got that angle covered pretty well. Watching the trailer online this morning, it’s as we assumed — compared to a big screen showing, it plays horribly online, even … Continue reading

But when the flub in question involves a glaringly obvious stunt woman in a shaggy wig crashing through a pane of glass, short of reshooting the … Continue reading
