According to spies for Fox411, War of the Worlds may be the most expensive movie yet. I’ve got a solid new figure for the budget on “War of the Worlds.” Are you ready? Not counting promotion: $182 million. With promotion, think more like $230 million. This week I was watching my new Jaws DVD, in…
How bad must this movie have been?
K-Lo points out that there’s a little-known third Brady Bunch movie from 2002 called The Brady Bunch in the White House in which Mike Brady becomes president of the USA and then appoints his wife as Vice President. Now…how bad must this movie be? Consider: * The IMDB page doesn’t have much of anything on…
Absolute Crisis
No, it’s not a Vodka ad. Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Absolute Edition is an oversized volume reprinting Crisis plus loaded with extras such as the complete Indexes and notes about changes to DC Comics in the last 20 years as a result of the Crisis. Okay, you don’t need me telling you the promotional…
Yes, Virginia, there really is a Six Million Dollar Man!
World’s first bionic man! HE’S REAL and he cost SIX MILLION!!! It’s here! It’s here!

Free Katie Holmes!
Look, I don’t care about celebrity romances. Usually, Hollywood marriage stuff just depresses me, and half of it is false anyway. But Tom Cruise is currently in the running to take the “celebrity who creeps me out” trophy away from Michael Jackson. In case you (sensibly) haven’t been following the details, Katie Holmes disappeared for…
Ebert makes a great point about Herbie movie
Herbie: Fully Loaded, which features a far more cartoony Herbie car, inspires this question: The car seems to be self-aware, able to make decisions on its own, and able to communicate with Maggie on an emotional level, and sometimes with pantomime or by example. Why then is everyone, including Lohan, so fixated on how fast…
It’s called the Aristocrats!
There’s this joke that is impossible to relate in clean company, and I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve heard it once in an unofficial (and perhaps counterfeit, although the voices and animation are spot-on) South Park clip of Cartman telling the world’s dirtiest joke. Turns out that the Aristocrats joke makes the rounds, with comedians…

The Onion 2056!
The Onion 2056 is the funniest Onion read in ages. Also, their design looks spectacular and I hate them.
Therrrrrre’s a fat moon on the rise
Be sure to go outside and check out the moon tonight so you can see the Summer Moon Illusion. Remember that monster moon in “Joe vs. The Volcano”? Of course you don’t. How about the moon from Cher’s “Moonstruck”, where there’s this gargantuan screen-filling moon? Well, that’s what this looks like. By the way, both…
