The Fighter Trailer: Onset Douchebags Christian Bale and David O. Russell Team Up with Mark Wahlberg

September 16, 2010

David O. Russell is such a dick. I don’t know if you’ve seen any of his tirades from the set of I Heart Huckabees, or heard stories about his antics on the set of Three Kings, but he’s an asshole. If you haven’t I’ve include them below. The problem with Russell is that he’s also a damn [...]

First Friday Night Lights, then Heroes and Now Lone Star: Why is Midland-Odessa the Place for Texas Based TV Series?

September 7, 2010

Last week I left DC to return to Southern California. Obviously the weather is more bearable and, well, actually that’s the only thing about California that I like better. On my flight I was able to watch a free sneak preview of the new Fox series “Lone Star”. Being a Texas boy, I was excited about [...]

Rutger Hauer is Obviously a Hobo with a Shotgun

September 4, 2010

I don’t know why I’m posting this. I hated both Grindhouse movies. I’m not a big Quentin Tarantino fan and the longer Robert Rodriguez makes movies the worse they get. Of course neither of them had anything to do with the production of Hobo with a Shotgun, but it was one of the original “trailers” between Rodriguez and [...]

Arcade Fire and Google Team Up to Create a Chrome Experiment: The Wilderness Downtown

September 2, 2010

Google, Arcade Fire and Chris Milk have created an HTML5 music video specifically for the Chrome web browser. It’s also tailored to the individual viewer. Oh and kind of bad-ass. The most important part of this for Google is showing off HTML5, or what I like to call Flash Killer. (Flash is not quite dead, but a [...]

Creepy Chatroulette Gets Creepier with The Last Exorcism Promo

August 27, 2010

I don’t know how many of you have played around on Chatroulette or know much about it. Essentially, it’s what it sounds like. You log in with your webcam and you are randomly assigned to other users on the site. It’s roulette. You have no idea who you’re going to get. Mostly it’s a bunch [...]

Dinner and a Movie: Al Pacino is Serpico….or Paco if You’re His Friend

August 27, 2010

Do all large cities have a movie themed diner that shows film screenings while serving diner food? Well, DC has one. I actually think we have two. I could easily research this with a Google search, but I’m not going to. You’re on your own for that. Last night I went to one of these [...]

Frank Darabont and Gale Anne Hurd Team Up for AMC’s The Walking Dead

August 25, 2010

I’ve been reading about AMC’s upcoming series The Walking Dead since Comic Con. Obviously zombies are pretty popular right now. Everyone loves them, so it’s not a big surprise to see a series about zombies. An AMC series about zombies is as surprised as I get. Yesterday, AMC released the first trailer for the series [...]

Floating Penis, Breast Implants and Christopher Lloyd: A Review of Piranha 3D.

August 23, 2010

I once saw Richard Dreyfuss speak. He was a cantankerous old man who spoke openly about his industry and pulled no punches. Something I respect in the Hollywood elite. When questioned by an audience member about why he took a gig on Poseidon, the atrocious remake of The Poseidon Adventure. Dreyfuss looked into the audience and with a [...]

Black Beard Returns With Advice For Young Writers: You’re Going To Be Poor And Probably Never Succeed

August 19, 2010

When the AWP conference was held in New York City a few years ago, I attended a discussion panel focused on the ways an up and coming writer could make a living without going into academia. At one point during the question and answer period a young woman, apparently dissatisfied with the advice given thus [...]
