This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen, and yet, it shocks me not: It’s like one of those bits of propaganda in Starship Troopers, which — like much of our satire — is looking less like satire every day. I’m not sure which is more appalling: the likening of NASCAR drivers … more…
That’s a very disturbing poster for Choke [opens wide September 26] over there. But this is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, so I guess it was always going to make for a disturbing movie. In it, apparently, Sam Rockwell is a con artist obsessed with sex and faking his own imminent death. Yup, … more…
Spoilers! Don’t read until you’ve seen the episode.
According to one reviewer on Amazon, the cases include: * PATTERSON VS. JIMERSON – A 16-year-old girl (Patterson) sues a prom date that didn’t show up (Jimerson) for the cost of doing her hair and buying a prom outfit * BROWN VS. PRITCHETT – A twentysomething man (Brown) sues a 13-year-old girl (Pritchett), for whom … more…
My brother sent me a photo from his phone Monday night: Apparently the destined-to-be-dreadful American remake of maybe-the-best-TV-show-ever Life on Mars will be shooting in his Astoria (Queens) neighborhood this morning. Yeah, the show is now set in New York City — it had originally been set in Cincinnati, I think. Or was it Pittsburgh? … more…
On Fox! At 8pm Eastern! I’d have had no idea if I hadn’t seen the ad on the IMDB this morning. Thank god for advertising. (If the spirit moves me after I see tonight’s season premiere, I’ll blog about this show again, too, like I did last season. I guess check back later tonight or … more…
Speaking of interesting ads I noted on the subway while riding bored… This one started out with just the regular Heroes logo, and then a week or so later, the “villains” bit appeared, apparently spray-painted over it (you have to get up very close to it for the illusion of the spray-paint to fall apart, … more…
I’ve been seeing ads all around New York — on the sides of buses, on the walls of subway stations — that look like this: And every time I see one, all I can think is: Torchwood. American TV was on the lookout for a Torchwood, and J.J. Abrams gave them this. Now, I had … more…
On this day in 1997, FlickFilosopher.com debuted. Well, it didn’t have its own domain for a while — it began on the Web space that was allotted to me as an AOL subscriber. I know: AOL. It’s so… 1997. Geez, 11 years. That seems crazy to me. There weren’t that many people doing movie reviews … more…
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s a redband, so maybe NSFW, unless you work somewhere really cool: Aw, and it’s nostalgic: “the porn I liked when I was a kid…” Sweet. It’s Kevin Smith-a-riffic. I might even like Seth Rogen in this. And yes, Han Solo surely did have sex with … more…
