Not that I’m suggesting someone should write some British actor slash fanfic or anything…

Is perhaps the NC-17 stigma starting to disappear?

question of the day: What part of Hollywood would you #Occupy?

I might #Occupy studio facilities where they do motion-capture, and allow it only for Andy Serkis to portray a hobbitlike creature or an ape…

Yes, this is the sex-addiction drama you’ve heard about. Yes, this is the “Michael Fassbender goes full-frontal” flick.

question of the day: Would you enjoy an action/comic-book movie franchise that gave us two or four small movies in a single year rather than one huge one every four years?

For the estimated $125 million that was spent to produce X-Men: First Class, for instance, we could have had two $62 million movies, or four $31 million movies. Would you prefer that?

Be afraid: The bin-Laden-is-dead movie may well be the cinematic equivalent of what we saw on the streets of New York and Washington on Sunday night: guys in baseball caps waving giant American flags and hooting “USA! USA! USA!”…
