how in the name of all that is decent can we fix the Grumpy Cat movie?
Grumpy Cat the Movie is coming, and it’s going to be horrible, and you can’t stop it. But we can dream about making it better…
Michael Bay
makes me long for Michael Bay-esque coherence (Pacific Rim trailer)
Shorter this trailer: Monsters! But we are awesome.Then we suck. Surprise! We get awesome again.
is Michael Bay prepping another apology? (Pain & Gain redband trailer)
Maybe if you’re as dumb as the morons this movie is about you’ll find find its mix of taser jokes, midget taunting, and verbal gendered abuse of children amusing.
Russian meteor footage that Michael Bay would surely scoff at but everyone else will find horrifying (and other adventures in social networking)

question of the day: What are your all-time favorite and least favorite action/adventure movies?
Raiders of the Lost Ark is my most favorite movie ever, and this is its genre, so here it is…
question of the day: If Mark Wahlberg can transform Transformers, what other actors could spice up other franchises?
Should we get Judi Dench into a Fast & Furious movie? Ian McKellen into Alvin & the Chipmunks? Marion Cotillard into a Hangover flick? How about a new Rush Hour movie starring Will Smith and Doona Bae?
question of the day: Who should — and should not — direct a new Star Wars movie for Disney?
A few shoulds off the top of my head: Bryan Singer. Brad Bird. Christopher Nolan. Joss Whedon. A few should-nots: Brett Ratner. Michael Bay.
question of the day: Should movies have a salary cap like some sports do?
Capping overall FX and marketing budgets might make a difference, but it’s hard to imagine the studios agreeing to that… and even if they did, who would enforce it?
people who actually hang out on IMDB are terrifying (and other adventures in social networking)

question of the day: Why are we debating the violence that fills movies when we should be debating their despair?
I am not suggesting that we should ban or censor movies full of despair! I’m suggesting that these despairing movies are doing too good a job of reflecting our society, and it’s our society we should be concerned with, not the messengers who deliver this news.
