We'll miss you, Harvey.
Welcome back to News Day Tuesday, where you might find my reporting to be rather lackadaisical because I’m so sad about Harvey Pekar. Also: I’m lazy.
The 2010 Comic Con schedule is up! Go here to make yourself physically sick with envy, just like me!
I’m not sure how I feel about this All About Evil trailer. Perhaps…warmly? Continue reading
Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever is a BAD movie. But I kinda dug it, for that.
You may ask yourself why I bothered to watch a straight-to-vid horror sequel. That is a perfectly reasonable question. I generally avoid such schlock, and sadly, Cabin Fever 2 pretty much reinforced that stance. But Eli Roth’s original Cabin Fever is on my Top 50 Horror Movies of the Decade list; more importantly, Cabin Fever 2 director Ti West’s The House of the Devil is on my Top 50 list, as well.
Extra! Extra! I saw the face-melting Tron Legacy trailer in IMAX 3D!
And you can too, if you watch Alice in Wonderland! Or you can just watch it on your computer screen and only melt your face a little bit. (read my Alice review here.)
Meredith over at io9 broke down the trailer and analyzed each still for us. Do you guys think if I stole her identity, she’d notice?
And she’s got the brand new Iron Man 2 trailer here. May 7th! May 7th! Continue reading
Extra! Extra! Only Amy Heckerling has the power to make vampires awesome again!
Star Krysten Ritter reveals that Amy Heckerling’s next film will be a “Clueless for vampires,” a premise which seems capable of single-handedly reviving the dwindling empire of sparkle moodiness.
The Superman reboot will be written by Batman Begins and Blade screenwriter David Goyer. This is good news! The remake will not star Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth and it will not be directed by Bryan Singer. This is also good news!
Check out a Q&A with Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski here. And surprise surprise, Disney’s already talking trilogy. Continue reading
Extra! Extra! Looks like I'm the one who has some words to eat!
Yes, despite my taunting of Eric Kripke last week, he actually is sticking with his original plan of ditching Supernatural after five seasons. Next season will bring a new arc and a new showrunner! Not sure how I feel about this; I may just pretend the series ends with this year’s finale.
Supernatural‘s Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Sam Worthington will star in a movie about League City’s I-45 “killing fields,” where as many as 70 bodies have turned up over the years.
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, director of the excellent 28 Weeks Later, has a new film out called The Intruders, a fright flick centered around an 11-yr-old girl. No more details yet, but I’m excited!
The new international Tron Legacy poster is out and awesome. Continue reading
Extra! Extra! Forecast shows 6 more weeks of winter and lots of Needle Nose Ned references all day!
Get your shovels ready because we’ve got loads of scoop today, my lovelies!
LOST returns today and the internet has ‘sploded with news, questions, spoilers, interviews and theories. Like this. And this. And this. And this. And also this.
Oscar nods were announced today, containing few surprises and plenty of snores. Continue reading
Listen up, America! No one gives a shit about Conan or Leno!
I hope everyone had yesterday off work! And if you didn’t, your boss is racist.
The Golden Globes happened, apparently.
And while they were happening, far more importantly, Oliva Wilde talked about how geeked she is for Tron Legacy. That makes two of us, sister!
Oof, it’s almost Christmas, ya heard? Slave-driving Santa is keeping this little elf hella busy, so it’ll be a shortie this week!
The Golden Globe noms are up and they’re typically boring and random. I love watching this particular kudos show because I think it’s fun and shiny, but yeah, the awards themselves are utterly irrelevant. But what do we think about exes Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron going up against one another for Best Director? EXCITING! (Y’all know I’m psyched about Avatar, and I totally accidentally missed The Hurt Locker in the theatre, but still, go Kat!)
Hrmm. Peter Parker as Bilbo Baggins? Get out your grain of salt for this one. I still like James McAvoy for the role, but granted, I like Jimmy Mac for everything. Seriously, for every role ever.
I finally got to watch Ti West’s The House of the Devil last week. And oh man, was it worth the wait!
The House of the Devil is set in the early 80s, and West’s dedication to the era is all-encompassing. The film’s cinematography, plot structure, wardrobe, dialogue and soundtrack are all deliciously retro, and West even went so far as to build an ad campaign that correlates with the film’s old-school spirit. This bad-ass trailer caught my attention months ago: Continue reading
Did everyone have a horrifantastic Halloween? Ready to get down to business now? Let’s do it!
As you have likely heard, Halcyon is putting the rights to Terminator up for sale, hoping to get around $70 mil despite McG’s best efforts to render the franchise worthless.
