We’re so kidding. There’s no way anyone would cast Zac Efron as JFK, would they? Jimmy Kimmel wants to play Freddy to Leno’s Jason; X-Men be Damned! Bryan Singer to television; Just Jack gets Back in NBC’s Pack (Rhymes we gots them); Catfish to continue making people squirm in all their Pinocchio-ness; Ben Affleck backs out of K-Stew web.

New movie posters are fun! They’re the first glimpse we get into the brain of an upcoming movie, but more importantly, of whether or not the film looks like a hit or the kind of thing that will be ridiculed in a few short months. Guess where potentially these four fall? Continue reading
So, you’re all set and jazzed to see what capable director Guillermo Del Toro will offer us all with his new stunner of a film, Pacific Rim. And it’s a kind of a big deal, because he backed out of The Hobbit, to make this sci-fi battle monster zone movie, and it could maybe pay off, since the early reviews of The Hobbit have left some dismayed and perhaps crying sullenly in their homemade Shire made out of balloons — but then you remember what Michael Bay has done to the robot movie genre and now you’re full of trepidation, fear, and hatred!

Now we get to the good stuff. Not that we don’t appreciate the SAG awards and the back-patting that goes on with regard to the “It means so much because this was awarded by my peers” notion, but the Golden Globes is where we may see some nominees pull away from the pack. We also get a more nuanced view of the field as it stands. And while there are still some non-surprises, at least we feel they’re starting to get what we were saying yesterday about Modern Family, as well as making up for some of SAG’s baffling snubs — but not the one regarding Game of Thrones!

A former conservative talk radio host and documentary producer has begun production on a film that claims that former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno was framed by the media and colleagues, and was not guilty of concealing child sex abuse by Jerry Sandusky. John Ziegler, a radio personality and former sportscaster, has previously made films about how the media has conspired to elect Barack Obama and to conceal the truth about 9/11. Continue reading
Urgh. Haven’t we all had enough of Modern Family? Sure, yes, it was a zingy little show that gave us interesting people who did funny things for a certain amount of time. But now, yes, now? It’s getting a little long in the comedy tooth for copious award nods is it not? Apparently the SAG Award voting block doesn’t seem to think so. On shall the Modern Family horse ride out into the desert wasteland of situation comedy until there is nothing left but Eric Stonestreet in a clown costume scaring the beejesus out of Zooey Deschanel.

And it. is. AWESOME. Forgive me, but I have just had a nerdgasm. Many Superman fans were worried that Zack Snyder was going to deliver a “Superman” movie that was all flash, no substance, and would tarnish the memory of the beloved Christopher Reeve Superman movies (well, excluding III and IV). Some were a little worried about the inclusion of Zod and the changes to Superman’s iconic uniform. Continue reading

The coupling of M. Night Shyamalan and Will Smith. Let’s just say we would’ve been more excited for this match-up in the early aughts. Now it gives us nothing but trepidation. You see, we’ve been let down before by both Shyamalan and Smith when it comes to the Sci-Fi genre. Shyamalan from his overuse of the “plot twist,” to his extremely Meta mind-bending explanations for the obvious, and let’s not forget the blatant trickery (see: The Village). And well, Smith, who started out with a more than promising career as a sci-fi action hero has churned out more than one dud in his time — and that says nothing about the strange eye roll that occurs whenever we hear about he and his son working on a new project.

There is a double Johns (Travolta and Olivia Newton) music video that you must see to be believed; Lifetime to get preachy; George Zimmerman is still a horrible human being; Rom-Com aficionado, James Marsden, tackles the hapless female (Oy); Justin Bieber will be Grammy-less and people (one person) is mad; BWAP, BWAP, BWAP A Tron Sequel trailer will make this noise we bet.

The trailer for the new Star Trek movie, the punctuationally-challenged Star Trek Into Darkness, is here at last. GIRD YOUR NERD LOINS AND PREPARE TO ENGORGE WITH NERD RAGE! Gawk at British thespian Bandersnatch Crustypants! Groan at the BWAP! noise from Inception, which all trailers are legally required to use! Shriek at the Space-fu jumping around! Gabble with anger with your nerdquaintances over who the villain is! Gape at the explosions and spaceship crashes! Yell at all the yelling!
Actually, it doesn’t look too bad. But seriously, it’s time to retire the Inception BWAP! noise. Please. Continue reading
