Listen for Craig Ferguson pimping out Karen Gillan to Branagh. Also, there’s a quite bad double entendre about the TARDIS. Fun!

question of the day: Johnny Depp and Rachel Weisz in Rob Marshall’s ‘The Thin Man’: good idea or the death of film?

Wed, May 11, 2011

I love Depp and Weisz, and I bet they’d be fantastic together. But is there any reason to remake a classic? Is there any hope in hell it could possibly be better than the original? Why bother to make such a movie at all… except that Hollywood is unashamed of its creative bankruptcy?

question of the day: Another ‘Terminator’ movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger: a good idea or a machine uprising to be put down?

I’m really beginning to think that Hollywood is hopeless, that it will never again give us another original idea, and perhaps we should welcome the robot apocalypse.
