wtf: acting is “kind of gay” sez ‘A-Team’s Rampage
I think my preferred response to this kind of idiocy from now on is going to be just laughing at people who say such things and waving at them as the rest of the world grows the fuck up and passes them by. Via New York’s Daily News: Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who makes his onscreen … more…
I’ve been sorta absent for the last 24 hours…
…sorry. It hasn’t been deliberate. It’s just that plotting to take over the Internet is more time-consuming than you’d imagine. Part of the Net-domination plan is to get enough ahead of myself so that I have time to prepare more postings in advance, so that an unexpected few hours away from the computer doesn’t lead … more…
trailer break: ‘Centurion’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… A new movie from Neil Marshall, who gave us Dog Soldiers and The Descent? And starring Michael Fassbender and Noel “Mickey The Idiot Smith” Clarke? Yes, please. It’s just a bonus that it’s set in Roman Britain and features awesome Pictish chick warriors. Centurion is now playing … more…
question of the day: Shouldn’t Hollywood condemn Ashton Kutcher’s ‘piracy’ of ‘Killers’?
I noted in last Friday’s Question of the Day that the Katherine Heigl/Ashton Kutcher flick Killers wouldn’t be screening for critics before it opens tomorrow. (I’ll attend a courtesy screening for press tomorrow morning, and will have a review asap afterward.) Lionsgate’s reason for this? The studio wants to “capitalize on the revolution in social … more…
Splice (review)
What if there were realms in which *woman* was not meant to meddle? It’s not as progressive as it sounds. But you knew that already.
trailer break: ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… It’s been more than two years since I decided that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead is the best movie title ever, and now, finally, the movie itself is about to be released. If I’d seen the trailer before I’d fallen in love with the title, however, I’d … more…
question of the day: Hardly anyone went to the movies over Memorial Day weekend: why not?
Worst. Memorial Day. Evah. Well, not ever, but in 17 years. Which means that the last time the box office was this bad over this major weekend, most of Hollywood’s target audience hadn’t quite been born yet. Neither of the two big newcomers, would-be blockbusters Sex and the City 2 and Prince of Persia: The … more…
watch it: “Ignore Stephen Baldwin – Restore Joss Whedon”
What? Surely you cannot mean that you have not heard of the righteous effort to restore Stephen Baldwin to his proper place in Creation… and simultaneously bring some much-needed public glory to God? You see, Baldwin has been forsaken by the wicked, wicked world — and by the godless heathens of Hollywood — since be … more…
Get Him to the Greek (review)
Russell Brand is still the best thing here, but at least he gets to be onscreen a helluva lot more than he was in *Sarah Marshall.* Alas that onscreen just as often is Jonah Hill…
