I so needed a laugh today. And then I came across a USA Today article from a couple days back called “Next ‘Transformers’ is due for a switch,” which had me snorting with derision all the way through. You can almost hear writer Anthony Breznican snickering in places. Listen: With shooting underway on a third … more…
Today’s question comes from reader Hank, who thinks it’s time to talk about Amy Pond some more, not within the context of this season’s Doctor Who stories (links to my blogging of all of which so far can be found here) but just in general, as a character and as a companion for the Doctor. … more…
A horrifying headline from the Onion’s AV Club: Doctor Who‘s David Tennant and Christopher Mintz-Plasse join Fright Night remake David Tennant was starring in the greatest television show in the history of the universe, a role that was the culmination of a lifelong dream for him, and this is what he left it in favor … more…
I’ve been talking about it loudly and frequently for ages: the entertainment environment is changing rapidly, all sorts of new options are available for acquiring and viewing movies, and Hollywood should be listening to how its customers are telling the industry it needs to change. Going to the multiplex is an expensive and unpleasant proposition … more…
So it seems that Keanu Reeves was caught in the compromising position of eating a sandwich in public by himself: and somehow this got interpreted as Keanu feeling sad and down and blue and alone and unemployed and whatev. And an Internet meme was born: He’s actually not unemployed — he’s got plenty work, the … more…
Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir appears to be absolute in earnest when he suggests that Ashton Kutcher has “massive star potential,” in spite of the fact that Killers has just bombed at the box office. Well, perhaps “bombed” is too strong: estimates right now peg the misbegotten spy comedy with a debut of a little over $16 … more…
Or Clash of the Geeks. You know who Wil Wheaton is: the erstwhile Wesley Crusher, currently professional geek and keeper of WWdN: In Exile — which always makes me do a double take, because I expect the wWdN to stand for “What Would Wil Wheaton Do?” which it might as well do, seeing as how … more…
Oh, yeah, we thought it was a joke when Michael Bay asked Bruce Willis to fly up into space and nuke an asteroid heading straight for us, but this is the real deal. Via the Washington Post: “Avatar” and “Titanic” director James Cameron on Wednesday evening criticized those responsible for stopping the geyser of oil … more…
I think my preferred response to this kind of idiocy from now on is going to be just laughing at people who say such things and waving at them as the rest of the world grows the fuck up and passes them by. Via New York’s Daily News: Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, who makes his onscreen … more…
I noted in last Friday’s Question of the Day that the Katherine Heigl/Ashton Kutcher flick Killers wouldn’t be screening for critics before it opens tomorrow. (I’ll attend a courtesy screening for press tomorrow morning, and will have a review asap afterward.) Lionsgate’s reason for this? The studio wants to “capitalize on the revolution in social … more…
