for all your parallel-universe movie needs
Someone had to do it, I guess: the Parallel Universe Film Guide. Browse here and what you’ll find are not imaginary movies — that is, movies that are referenced by other movies but don’t actually exist, like Mant! or Sand Pirates of the Sahara or Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League — but entirely … more…
something new to read for ‘Sex and the City’ fans
Remember that book Carrie reads from to Big in bed in Sex and the City: The Movie? It’s called Love Letters of Great Men, and it doesn’t exist… at least until now. British publisher Macmillan just published a collection of those real love letters. Look, it’s even pink: It doesn’t take a lot of digging … more…
dream cast: hypothetical ‘Simon & Simon’ movie
We tried this last week, and it was a lot of fun, so I’m continuing to test this as a regular Thursday feature. We take a book to adapt to TV or film — or a movie or TV show to remake — and we recast it with actors working today. It’s another great 80s … more…

Robot Chicken: Star Wars (review)
It’s madness. Madness, I tell you!
arrgh! someone needs strangling
IMDB’s Studio Briefing is calling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 “a chick flick to compete with all the fanboy, druggie, and monster stuff out there for males.” Presumably that means The Dark Knight, Pineapple Express, and, I dunno, maybe The Mummy 3. Fuckety fuck fuck, this kind of thinking drives me insane. Why are … more…
eBay sneaker blowout!
No, not really. Apropos of nothing, except that I want to sell these fancy sneakers for a friend who has entrusted me to do so, please check out my eBay listing for a pair of women’s MBT walking shoes, size 10.5. You know, if you want to.
trailer break: ‘Call + Response’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… Nope, not a fun movie: it’s about the trade in sex slaves around the planet, and it’s horrifying. The way it’s framed in this trailer — as a bunch of young men who think they’re out for a night of fun and discover the truth about … more…
