Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Destroy books, kill in the name of a deity, and ignore the wisdom and advice of intelligent people based on what their genitalia looks like.

South Park depicts Muhammad — allegedly — in a bear suit. (Turns out it was actually Santa disguised as a bear.)

Movie production (TV too) is going carbon-neutral, offsetting their pollution with carbon credits. Movie distribution is going carbon-neutral, turning to high-speed data transfers instead of shipping heavy film reels around the planet. Cinemas themselves are going carbon-neutral, turning to solar power and green construction material. This one is accidental, but still: The Icelandic volcano ash … more…
Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie or TV show and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. “I told them no hazelnut!
