Frank Darabont thinks … Continue reading
Did you like Borat? Well, Rupert Murdoch is promising you more, according to the Financial Times.

Experts agree we were on the verge of a full on dwarf war when The … Continue reading
It was a rough weekend for fans of the puppet. Word came last week that the whole Dark Crystal prequel was shut down all Halo-style. Clone War/Samurai Jack fan-god Genndy Tartakovsky was directing, preproduction was churning out some goods and seemingly, out of nowhere, it smacked face-first into a wall of postponement with no plans … Continue reading
