This Is The End review: supergood
I died laughing… and I’ve found a new respect for a Hollywood posse whose work I mostly haven’t enjoyed before.
Green Hornet
question of the day: Who are the unlikeliest action heroes ever?
I’m gonna go with Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings. Wood doesn’t spring to mind when thinking about action heroes, and even within the context of the story, a homebody hobbit is the last person anyone expects to be an action hero.
question of the day: Do comic-book movies make you want to read comic books more than you already do?
If it’s summer, it must be time for the comic-book movies. But is there something else at work besides getting butts into seats with familiar characters with built-in appeal? Could it all be a nefarious plan to turn non-comic readers into comic buyers?
great movie quotes: ‘The Green Hornet’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I thought Michel Gondry was gonna make a superhero movie that didn’t look like every other damn superhero movie. Wasn’t that the idea? Or did Columbia get cold feet at the last minute when they suddenly realized they’d hired a weird-ass French arthouse director and strongarmed him … more…
question of the day: Jimmy Kimmell live via webcam: surprise success, or should he keep his day job?
I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel Live, but I’m wildly intrigued by the episode that aired last night (which I only just heard about this morning).
