Just to irritate a certain contributor…
I’m stealing this from Josh, who posted this on his weblog but not here (yet), because I really want to irritate Eric Spratling. It’s an argument from a commentator at the UK Telegraph that Lord of the Rings is one of our greatest works of art ever. Eric isn’t exactly a fan of Peter Jackson’s…

ROTK DVD comes out much earlier
ROTK DVD in May The Return of the King DVD will be out in May, since there is no reason to hold it until fall to hype the next installment. The extended version will be out in September, not November…but that’s still quite a wait. (I’m sure it can’t be moved up because they’re still…

AdCritic is back?
I hadn’t realized that AdCritic.com was back in business! Last I saw their site they had suspended ops and posted the standard “We still believe in our business model” message. I just thought I’d post this for anyone who wanted to see the Superbowl ads again. However, it is now a pay site.

Okay, so it’s foreign and I’ll never see it
Remember that guy who fell into a coma in 1984 when Terminator came out and woke up when the star of that movie is governor of California? OK. Now imagine being behind the Iron Curtain during that same period of time. In Good bye, Lenin!, a man has to protect his frail mother from the…

Who’s ripping off Signs?

PIXAR breaks free of the mouse!
This has been coming for a while, but I honestly didn’t know that it would happen: Pixar will not have Disney as its distributor after 2006. The final films will be the awesome superhero film “The Incredibles” (from Brad Bird, the genius behind “The Iron Giant”) and one more, probably “Cars.” For Pixar, this is…

Gone, Yoda is. Yes. Hee hee hee.
Yoda has been stolen The bronze Yoda statue was bolted to a truck and weighed 170 lbs, but a thief stole it anyway. Strong the Force is with that one.

Dawn of the Dead is coming!
Dawn of the Dead has a new trailer, and I wish I could see the trailer in a theater. When it gets to the end, you’ll understand why. For a zombie movie, this looks quite well done and I think it will be much better than the overhyped 28 Days (which, I’m sorry, had an…

New “Passion” trailer
The Passion of The Christ has a new trailer combining the best of the two previous trailers. This new one is two minutes long and has a bit more story to it. I will say this: if this music is from the soundtrack, the sales of that alone will pay for the movie!
