    A CABIN IN THE WOODS prequels that tell the stories of how they managed to capture those monsters.

      oooh - I like that!

    A famous actor goes on the run after he comes under suspicion for being connected (usually by six degrees) to every murder victim in the country. Kevin Bacon is... GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!

      The reward of a great joke is in putting the connections together. Lose the parenthetical (six degrees) and you have gold.

      I would totally watch this movie.

       

      When they have Bacon in custody rather than coming in with a folder full of the the victim's pictures, they bring in a 3TB hard drive.

      Thank you, all.

    A potential plot hole in INTERSTELLAR. Why do they need to get the space station off of Earth's surface? I understand that Earth is going to run out of food and oxygen, but space doesn't have food or oxygen either. Why couldn't they seal it and make it a surface space station?

      You're right - plot ravines

      I was being facetious.

      I think it ties into the film's theme. You know the whole "mankind wasn't meant to die on earth"."Our destiny lies in the stars" and all that good stuff.

    All you Breaking Bad fans will probably enjoy this article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/allenstjohn/2013/09/27/how-a-teenage-cancer-patient-changed-the-ending-of-breaking-bad/

    Any idea why Columbia is holding so many advanced screenings for THIS IS THE END? I was just invited to the third one in as many months.

      Kind of doubtful since all of the big movie blogs that have seen it already are giving it rave reviews. Columbia could stop now and use all the great reviews for quotes on posters/trailers. I've read numerous blog reviews already that say, "Funniest movie of the year." It's like they are hoping for a quote on a poster.

    3. Frobisher

      Frobisher

      So Columbia is like, "This movie is so F'n amazing that we don't even need to do any P&A, we'll just let our awesome product speak for itself through advanced screenings." Is that what they're thinking?

      I thought the script was fun and don't see how this won't be a big hit.

    Anyone know what incited WME to pull this CAAN'T prank right now and not at some other time?

      Not sure why, but truthfully, for an industry that creates fun, I know a lot of people who welcome the jabs... as long as it stay topical.

      Any truth to the rumor that bloWME balloons are being released at an upcoming premiere?

      I hope the balloon thing is true. That'd be hilarious.

    Before he saved Mr. Banks, he saved Pvt. Ryan. Too bad he couldn't save CLOUD ATLAS. *rimshot*

      replace *rimshot* with *trapdoor opens*

    Bob Odenkirk kinda sounds like a made up name to me. Like he took the name of a character from Norse mythology and merged it with the name of a SciFi character, like a Jack Lokipicard or a Mike Thoradama.

    Don't be bashful, send us your jokes! I promise not to tell anyone you wrote them. http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-writers-complaint/

      Ha! I've got one for you but I'll only tell you if you get Jimmy Fallon to say it live. Guaranteed.

      They should be honored the jokes were stolen. :)

    3. dsjones

      No. They should be compensated.

    Given the success of HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, I was going to take advantage of the hype and write HELL IS FOR REAL, but there are enough movies about Ohio already. *rim shot*

    I bet Walt would've stayed in New Hampshire if Ed had brought him some of those johnnycakes Vito Spatafore found when he went into hiding there.

      Arguably the most awkward of all The Sopranos storylines...

    I don't recall ever seeing so many columnists flocking to be contrarians as I have with this Ben Affleck/Batman thing. It's quickly becoming a cliché.

      Nah, it's capitalism. It's just a way to drive angry traffic to your ad supported website.

    I think Skynet would've been more successful if they had cloned a hot chick, gave her AIDS, and then sent her back in time to sleep with John Conner. =)

      I love how dark that idea is. However it begs the assumption that the noble John Conner is just like the rest of us and would do some random hot chick who happened to crash his bivouac.

    4. Galleria.Pictures

      Well, John did kiss the love of his life in a friend's basement before T2 turned up. I assume he's part of the got-her-pregnant-before-I-turned-18 crowd.

    If anyone could piece together all the contradicting clues and figure out what happened with the missing Malaysian plane, I suspect it would be writers.

      I'm beginning to believe that foul play was involved in this situation. Could be as simple as a hijacker posing as a pilot, sitting in the jump seat of a plane and getting the flight crew to turn off the transponders.

  16. Frobisher

    Imagine a U.S. president who had ten kids and the nightmare that would be for the Secret Service. Sounds like an idea for a movie.

      LOL, Rob. That's what I was thinking. Turns out we saved the American taxpayer a lot of money!

      that's a funny idea

    It all makes sense now! Jessica Fletcher was a sociopath who killed and framed others in order to have elaborate murders to write about and prolong her career as America's preeminent murder/mystery writer =)

      She was a slut too, apparently.

  18. Frobisher

    It's just like STAND BY ME, but instead of kids looking for corpse b4 local thugs do -- It's a squad of soldiers looking for body of downed pilot & returning it to his family before Taliban finds it & parades it on the web.

      No, that's more GREASE meets LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.

      I very much NEED to read that script! Holy shit, that's genius! It's like SAVING PRIVATE RYAN but more emotional, some how.

    It's kinda hard to know what kind of specs are trending when so many loglines are "kept under wraps."

    1. axalon

      axalon

      Apparently lots of specs with ideas so original they couldn't possibly be summed up in one or two sentences.

  20. Frobisher

    Not sure why INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED is such a hit, did THE GAME PLAN dvd not come with a Spanish track or something? haha!

      I saw it a few months ago. Good movie? No. But it's not cynical or smug. And it's not trying to sell your kid a toy. I can get the appeal.

    3. specwriter

      It's a fun, silly comedy aimed at a family audience. What's the problem?

    4. sbbn

      I watched the trailer and although it wasn't bad, I didn't think there was anything unique or particularly appealing about it. Granted it did well for limited release but... it's still limited release. I'd be more impressed if it were pulling a Greek Wedding with wide release.

  21. Frobisher

    On this day in 33 A.D., the Romans tortured God's son to death. That's why they had to change their name to "Italians." Wakka wakka wakka.

    Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman wrote for Hercules and Xena Warrior Princess. No wonder I always feel like "I've seen this before" when watching one of their movies.

  23. Frobisher

    Saw a promo for NBC's new series IRONSIDE. I initially thought it was one of those fake Adult Swim commercials.

      All I could think was "they're remaking Wheels and the Legman??"

      @sbbn - I thought the exact same thing. That's why I thought it was an Adult Swim joke.

    4. PJMAC

      PJMAC

      Was the world clamoring for a remake of IRONSIDE? No.

    So... for this OSCAR POOL. When is the deadline and where do we e-mail our picks to?

      Thank you. I didn't see that info in the e-mail/newsletter.

  25. Frobisher

    Take LIONS FOR LAMBS, change war to pro football and CTE. Change Tom Cruise from a senator to a team owner, Pete Berg to a coach, Derek Luke/Mike Pena to suicidal pro players. Keep Redford, Garfield and Streep the same. Oscar, please!!!!!
