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…
I read all the comments posted here. Every single one. And I delete every single one that is attempting to spam my readers, or that is trollish. Just so you know that there’s no point in posting garbage. Don’t waste your time.
I think maybe I’ve figured out how Joel and Ethan Coen do it. How they move so effortlessly from comedy to drama, from fluffy to forceful, from silly to solemn. It’s that they don’t think about tone or genre, at least not at the beginning: they just think about a character, and let him have his lead, and see where he takes them.
I think the most amazing thing about this is the intensity of the screams from the audience. I’ve been underestimating how popular Torchwood is. Wild.
Ugly is the only word for the abysmal performance of just about everything at North American multiplexes this past weekend. Variety says it the “shakiest start in years” for the fall box office — things haven’t been this bad since 2000. Just look at how dismal these numbers are: 1. Bangkok Dangerous: $7.8 million 2. … more…
obsession: still Doctor Who (most recent episode blogging: “Journey’s End”) boyfriend: David Tennant as the Doctor (see my summer of Tennant and Hamlet) psyched: Igor (because it looks dementedly adorable) dreading: My Best Friend’s Girl (because the world has seen enough dumb “romantic” “comedies”) enemy: Nicolas Cage, who’s not as Bangkok Dangerous as he thinks … more…
Look, Nicolas Cage is an assassin, okay? He’s tough. And hardened. And impervious to human emotions. He doesn’t care what you think.
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Gus Van Sant’s biopic of San Francisco politician Harvey Milk, starring Sean Penn, just got its first trailer: (Or watch best-quality trailers in different sizes at Apple.) That is one fantastic trailer. It manages to be light and humorous and celebratory even though the story the … more…
