Mad Men Leads 2008 Emmy Nominations As the quality of TV programming continues going up and up, particularly on cable networks, the Emmy Awards are becoming all the more relevant to the world of film. A lot of the big stars from TV shows eventually find their way onto the big screen, and many of the most talented series creators also […] Source: www.filmjunk.com
‘Dark Knight’ Trailer With Children. Clip of the Day Exactly what the headline says: a remake of the DARK KNIGHT trailer starring tykes and trikes.
Yes, I could have embedded the cool new Watchmentrailer, but the YouTube clips I saw just didn’t do the visuals justice (watch it on Apple.com instead). And sure, I could have shared the long-awaited Twilighttrailer, but it doesn’t actually look all that appealing — I know the books are popular, but the adaptation just looks like The Lost Boysmeets Dawson’s Creek (if you must, view it on Yahoo!). Anyway, I’m sure you’re seeing The Dark Knightthis weekend (unless you have a really lame excuse not to), so you’ll likely see both those trailers, as well as the one for Terminator Salvation, ahead of the film.

Scott Kirsner (Cinematech, Variety) is ever-present at the point where film and technology meet. Now he’s involved in co-hosting a “two-day conversation… about the future of cinema, video, games, and telling stories with new media.”
Check Out The Midnight Madness For The ‘Dark Knight’ By Andrew Ross Rowe Step aside, Chewbacca-costume-wearing tall guy. Make way, sorta-looks-like-Santa-Claus Gandalf impersonator. The Batman fans are out in full effect! Everyone from the Caped Crusader himself to the Joker to Poison Ivy showed up to stand in line at midnight for the opening-night showing of “The Dark Knight.” But why not see the movie at a […]
Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Wright, W Crew Arrested in Bar Brawl The actors playing George W. Bush and Colin Powell in Oliver Stone’s W were arrested last night in drunken fight with 10 police officers. Method acting!
Journey to the Center of the Earth With 5 Actors Who Shouldn’t Be Famous A list of five more inexplicably famous actors to accompany Brendan Fraser who will make gobs of money off JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH this weekend.
Brendan Fraser will be in two big mother movies this year, Journey to the Center of the Earth (opening Friday) and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. He belongs to a curious list of actors in Hollywood who keep showing up in big movies, despite the fact that they’ve never really made good on the promise of becoming good actors.
Silent Light to FINALLY Open? Don’t tease me, Palisades. I’ve been through enough.
Today is my 28th birthday (cue self-reflexive old maid joke). I wasn’t even going to mention it here, but Anthony Kaufman has written a blog post with a promise that, if it ends up coming true, would be a pretty fantastic present, for you and me: I’d get to see Carlos Reygadas’ Silent Light get a theatrical release, and you’d get a reprieve from me bitching about it.
Here’s what’s going on: yesterday, news broke that Palisades Media had acquired the left-behind library of recently-shuttered distributor art film Tartan. The Variety story on the matter was fairly vague, and didn’t say much regarding the films that had been sitting on Tartan’s shelf awaiting a theatrical release, including Light, Princesses, You the Living, etc. Kaufman exchanged emails with Palisades about the future of Light, and ‘was told it would “absolutely receive a theatrical screening now,’ with, of course, one caveat: ‘but everything is still TBD.’”
Superman 2: The Fan Cut Richard Lester’s version and Richard Donner’s version become one on YouTube.
My favorite part of Superman 2: The Fan Cut––YouTube user ABDirector’s mash-up of the originally released version of the film directed by Richard Lester with original Superman director Richard Donner’s version that came out on DVD a couple of year ago––is the comment threads. People take Superman IIvery seriously. They also take recuts very seriously, and everyone has their own idea of how they’d do it differently. Example, from Part 6:
