  1. Just as I suspected: "...an excuse for ostensibly grown men to drink their own urine, kick around a guy’s severed head and have long, drawn-out arguments about their autoerotic habits in “This Is the End.”" from Variety's review. Pass.

      I've actually been hearing a lot of good things about this one.

      The Variety review overall is positive.

      The Variety review overall is positive.

  2. Just read that Michael Uslan got the film rights to Batman in the 70s, thus he's remained on as Exec Producer on every film, including Nolan's films. Do you think he gets a cut of the gross or would he have sold that away to WB years ago?

  3. Know any horror producers/execs who would be into an 80s-style horror spec with practical makeup fx, no cgi? Please see my post in "Works in Progress" at the bottom of the forums.

      Would love to read it, Dan. Enjoyed the synopsis.

  4. LOUIE fans: I've got an interview with Louis C.K. and some thoughts on the show on my blog: http://actfourscreenplays.com/blog/

      Louie season 2 was some of the best television in years.

       

      Each episode was an esoteric short story.

      I agree. Most of the episodes could be described as a stand-alone short story, actually.

      Is this a new photo of the Mad Men cast? If so, why does only The Daily Beast have it and not The New York Times?! http://tinyurl.com/bh6u8cn

  6. Mad Men Teaser Trailer, you are certainly a tease because you feature NO NEW FOOTAGE! Harumph to you.

      HA! When I first read that I thought you said it featured FOUND FOOTAGE! That would be the worst Episode EVER!

  8. Michael Bay cast an 18 year-old actress in Transformers 4. The older he gets...the girls just stay the same age. ;-)

      Sounds like Wooderson's line in 'Dazed and Confused'.

  9. My book analyzes hundreds of recent hit movies, with full breakdowns of 7 great films, including The Dark Knight, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Drag Me To Hell and The Hangover: http://bit.ly/jlZzx4

  12. My TDKR speculation in Member Reviews is lonely, guys. Let's get some fanboy theories going!

      Afraid to look per spoilers Dan. I definitely heard a ring about a cast member, but have been avoiding any and all news so nothing is ruined. Nothing personal :D!!

      It's all speculation, but I see what you mean. Don't look at the cast list on imdb if you don't want potential spoilers, as there's some surprises there.

  13. New action series with Emmanuelle Chriqui, Gina Gershon and David Arquette. FX? USA? Starz? Nope, try...Crackle? http://www.crackle.com/c/cleaners/cleaners-trailer/2490521

  14. Olympus Has Fallen trailer: http://youtu.be/vwx1f0kyNwI Ummm...yeah.

      They are very smart to release this before White House Down.

      Elliott, I too am baffled that Gerard Butler keeps getting big roles. He was great in 300...and everything else has pretty much sucked/bombed. He's the new Colin Farrell -- keeps getting cast, despite bomb after bomb or even much likeability. He seems like a nice guy, but give us a break already. :-0

  15. Please remind me, what is the quest in The Hobbit? Why do they put together this group of dwarves and where are they initially going? I'm psyched to see it, but I read the book so long ago I can't remember. I only remember Smaug and Smeagol.

  16. Procrastination! Napping! Deadline pushing! This winter, Gerard Butler is... SEASONALLY DISAFFECTED!!

  17. Saw Young Adult last night. Yikes, what a mess. Felt like a second draft that REALLY needed notes. Did they rush it into production? It was just so thin.

      Matt, what really worked for you? I felt like it had huge potential but didn't fully develop any one element, instead leaving a bunch of them under-developed and I ultimately didn't get the purpose of it. How did you feel at the end?

      Agree with you mostly Dan.

      It's just nice to see a flawed/crazy character of a women. instead of a guy for once. Maybe it's just that I have more crazy women around me then you. I also loved Patton Oswalt he really brought is A game in this.

  18. Shout-Out to "The Ghastly Love of Johnny X," the worst grosser of 2012 with a cume of $117. It co-stars Creed from The Office. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754633/?ref_=sr_1

      Damn. I was WAY off thinking the guy who plays Creed could be a leading man.

  19. So who's going to write the movie about how we're all going to pay more taxes while our elected leaders just gave themselves a pay raise?

    1. Penelope

      It will just be the plotline for an episode of The Newsroom, that's all.

  20. Streaming the screener of an upcoming show, rather than watching a dvd. Is this new or am I just not in the loop?

  21. Swimsuit issue comes out today, to make women feel fantastic on Vday. Stay classy, S.I.!!

  22. The first "Booster Pack" includes full Story Maps of 12 great movies, including Juno, Up, Rain Man, Hustle & Flow and Raiders of the Lost Ark! http://bit.ly/lutUff

      That exchange with Nicholson was priceless. She's so funny. And adorable, and sexy, and...

      But I think her reaction was less "star struck" and more "oh my god this old creep is actually hitting on me." It was really sad to see Jack up to his dirty old man tricks.
