  • One of the few, the proud…

    …the Independence Day fans. Yeah, I liked ID4. I still like ID4. Even with all the stuff that was improbable and didn’t make any sense. (It’s still better than most of the ID4-wannabes like “The Core”, where lightning makes stone architecture blow up…apparently the Romans had a fuel tank under the Colliseum.) The new movie…

    Scooby Doo 2 trailer

  • Trailer Time again!

    It’s time for me to see what the Apple Trailers site has to offer. First thing that caught my eye is the brand new trailer for Garfield the Movie, which debuts next year. As we’ve reported earlier, Bill Murray replaces the late Lorenzo Music as the voice of the flabby tabby. (That’s just a joke;…

  • Watchmen shooting in 2004?

    Variety and Comics2Film have reported that Watchmen may be filming next year. A decade ago, Terry Gilliam was going to turn it into a movie, and Alan Moore wished him luck on finding some way to cut down the 12-issue series so that it would play as a film. (Moore had no idea how.)

  • How about, no?

    Katie Holmes from Dawson’s Creek as Batman’s love interest in the next Batman feature film. Yeah? Here’s a radical idea: drop this love interest crap. Batman doesn’t need a love interest in every movie. He’s not a lover, and all these love interests have for the most part detracted from the already-overcrowded plots. Honestly.

  • The Wilhelm Scream

    Boy, you go back through Aaron’s news archives and it’s cool what you find. Here’s something I had to pass along: The Wilhelm Scream. A scream sound effect used again and again in all Lucasfilm productions and even The Two Towers. Unfortunately, due to bandwidth, the scream sound effect and its clips had to be…

  • Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit”???

    I’m surprised there hasn’t been more speculation about this, but at last someone is talking about Peter Jackson doing The Hobbit. Only problem is that there are some issues as to who has the rights to it. New Line would have to get the rights away from United Artists. UA, of course, won’t want to…

  • Leia’s metal bikini

    Let’s face it…George Lucas gives the fans what they want to see. (Why else do you think a monster can viciously slash Padme in the back and the result is a fetching tailored midriff-baring version of her outfit?) All the little kids who were playing with Star Wars toys in 1977 were interested in a…

  • Brown Bunny Trailer!

    The movie The Brown Bunny got some truly devastating reviews at Cannes. It’s a long boring movie where nothing happens until the end when the ostensible hero gets pleasured by his girlfriend. Now we have the trailer which couldn’t possibly convince anyone to see it. I mean, the trailer is bad! This is a movie…
