This is the big dump. Not in the hot, sexy way but in the way that it takes ALL of our content and dumps it in one spot for you. Wait, that IS hot and sexy!

MICHAEL MOORE: AT WORLD’S END

As Devin mentioned yesterday in Eli Roth Is The One Getting Tortured Now, this weekend saw widespread piracy of Michael Moore’s Sicko. Not only did the film hit Bit Torrent trackers (that happened last week, actually) — one or more people broke the film up into chunks and placed it on YouTube, and a copy … Continue reading

STRANGER THAN BOND

This sounds about right. The reinvented Bond franchise doesn’t need a heavy hand behind the camera, and while Marc Forster hasn’t been shy about enforcing David Fincher’s style on his movies, he can also dial it down (e.g. Finding Neverland, which was so dialed down I made like Little Nemo at the WGA screening room). … Continue reading

GANDOLFINI OFFERS SOME CLOSURE

Still got your panties in a wad about the end of the Sopranos? Get over it. Maybe you can click here and let Hilary Clinton shock you out of any post-finale trauma. (Seriously, her video is hilariously dumb.) James Gandolfini certainly isn’t going to help you. He’s going back to HBO in the fall, but … Continue reading

DARK IS DERIVATIVE

Looks like Fox’s lack of invention has finally bled over into their usually creative marketing department. Had to happen sooner or later. That’s Christopher Eccleston doing his best Viggo Mortensen on the horse, btw. Susan Cooper’s Dark is Rising series was one of several kiddie-skewing fantasy series I tore through between grade school and junior … Continue reading

DISNEY’S GOT A NEW WALT

I look at Walt Becker and think: there’s a guy I’d hire for a Gillette commercial. I expect seven-bladed razors to fly at his face any second now, swirling around in a CGI orgy of shaving cream and impeccably cut whiskers. Guy’s face is rugged enough to use as a location for Marines recruitment commercials.But … Continue reading

ONCE THE WEINSTEINS GO BLACK…

I’ve already said/admitted to many things on this site that would greatly endanger my membership in the black race. Here’s another: I don’t and have never watched Girlfriends. In fact, you probably haven’t either, but here’s the deal. It is currently the longest running live-action sitcom on the air. A quiet giant, if you will. … Continue reading

WHO WANTS TO WATCH JOHN CUSACK TALK WATCHMEN?

Since we’re all about fanboy wishes this morn, here’s another one we’ll briefly indulge. It wasn’t so long ago that fanboy casting for a Watchmen film ran rampant and in completely different directions than the most recent rumblings of Jackie Earle Haley, Jason Patric, and Patric Patrick Wilson. Wilson seems almost a lock for the … Continue reading

THE INCREDIBLES 2 MAY NOT BE SO COOL

Recent talk from Brad Bird this weekend has produced some Oh Don Piano vibes manifesting in the form of rumors of a sequel to The Incredibles. Specifically, Bird was quoted during press for Ratatouille regarding that film “I love the world. I love the characters, and if I could come with a story that was … Continue reading
