Why am I so tingly about Iron Man? I don’t like the character all that much – I think the only Iron Man comics I have ever purchased were Civil War tie ins, and those are real recent. Even the much-vaunted alcoholism story, while interesting, never really floated my boat. But while the comic book … Continue reading
So my first thought when I see the poster above is that they’ve remade Zardoz with Javier Bardem in the role of the giant gun-spitting floating head and Josh Brolin as a more clothed take on the Sean Connery character. I’m extraordinarily excited to see No Country For Old Men, the new Coen Bros film … Continue reading
In just a few hours I’ll be seeing The Bourne Ultimatum, and I’m psyched. I loved the first two movies a whole lot, and I’m excited to see Jason Bourne tear some shit up in New York City, and in many stops along the way. Jeremy and I will also be hitting the Bourne junket … Continue reading
When I’m right, I’m right. A couple of weeks back everybody ran pictures of Benicio Del Toro in a big beard, saying that was his look for The Wolf Man. I knew it wasn’t so, and I figured that was his ‘last days of Che Guevera’ beard. Turns out I was right, as Steven Soderbergh’s … Continue reading

You know what I love? When people complain about things to hide the fact that they’re talking about something totally awesome about themselves. Like: "You know what the problem with having a lot of money? All the taxes." Or "I can’t believe how many men were trying to fuck me on Friday night, it was … Continue reading
Way back in 2005:Q: Are there any dream roles that you’re looking at? Knocked Up could be opening a whole new world to you.Rogen: Any superhero in any capacity. I would be Namor.Q: You would want to wear those Speedos?Rogen: I would be anyone. If they’re in a comic book, I would be them.Sure The … Continue reading
For today, Tom Rothman, we are cool. I don’t know if this was a Rothman decision or more of a Hugh Jackman/Lauren Shuler Donner move. Doesn’t really matter. Whoever’s responsible, they done good. Gavin Hood is a great director who’s about ready to make a leap to the A-list this fall with Rendition, a politically-charged … Continue reading
