  • IIIII Am IRRRONNNN MAAAAAN!

    Robert Downey Jr. will play Iron Man. Not being a Marvel fan and having never read any more Iron Man than a Hostess advertisement, I don’t really have any feelings one way or the other on this. What do you all think?

  • South Park guys to make more movies

    Matt Stone and Trey Parker will satirize Godzilla movies in a couple years. They’ll also be doing a high school comedy called My All-American High.

  • William Castle wouldn’t do this!

    Live Rattlesnakes Released In ‘Snakes On A Plane’ Theater In case you don’t get the joke, William Castle is the guy who wired up people’s seats with electricity for the scary parts in “The Tingler“. Many of his cheapo schlock horror films had such a gimmick. The John Goodman character in “Matinee” was based on…

  • Jeez, I leave the place for a few days

    Bruno Kirby, R.I.P. He was Billy Crystal’s best friend in “City Slickers” and in “When Harry Met Sally.” (They were both in “Spinal Tap” as well.) I can’t believe he’s dead already. He was so young.

  • Electrethical dilemma

    Does R2-D2 have a conscience? I was re-watching “Revenge of the Sith” once again. You’re all right, by the way; Obi-Wan Kenobi did hear Anakin being dubbed “Darth Vader.” I was also puzzled as to how Obi-Wan knows that Vader is the same guy walking around in the mask and robes, but actually, in re-checking…

  • My brother fights alongside Optimus Prime!

    OK, I’m exaggerating, obviously. But I think it’s kind of cool that my brother is going to be in the new Transformers movie. He called me tonight. Apparently, Michael Bay needs shots of an AWACS plane for his movie, and it’s going to be my brother’s plane. Dang it. Now I have to actually go…

  • Chad Vader Strikes Back

  • Heath Ledger cast as The Joker

    Get ready for an endless stream of photoshopped gay kisses with Batman and “I wish I could quit you” jokes. Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger has been named as the new Joker for the second ‘Batman’ movie. (That’s right, I said second. This is clearly a new Batman cycle we’re “Begin”-ning.) Fortunately, I never saw…

  • “They Fly! They frickin’ fly!”

    I can’t help it but think of that quote from 2005’s “The Cave” when I watched the trailer for The Descent. This new movie looks interesting, and it’s incredible that they’ve made a film with an all-female cast. And to give them credit where credit is due, that poster is one of the most artistic,…

  • “I’m gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday…”

    “Office Space” re-enacted in 30 seconds by bunnies.
