Ah, it’ll be interesting to see how this conservative wet dream of a story plays on the screen, and with audiences…

I blame the High School Musical movies for this. Damn you, Zac Efron, and your electric adorableness. Damn you.

The humor here is so over the top and obvious that this Arthur won’t get caught between the moon and New York City… the moon will fall on him like an anvil on Wile E. Coyote.

Hey, here’s an idea: What if Mr. Rochester were a vampire? It might make a mopey tragic Victorian novel gone cinematic (again) appeal more to the kids.

I love the new trailer. Much more intense than the first trailer, which was pretty intense…

Everyone else has been raptured. They’re in the Matrix. They’re actually the ones who are dead and can’t admit it. Aliens are playing a trick on Planet Earth.

wtf: ‘The Stand’ as a feature film?

The six-hour miniseries ABC did on TV in the 1990s wasn’t long enough. Unless Warner Bros. and CBS Films are proposing to do three three-hour films à la The Lord of the Rings, I don’t want to hear about this.

Ooo, your market is so huge. How did you get it so big? Oh, you’re faking it. That’s cheating…
