Aaron Sorkin's writing makes me smile
Harriet: I got a laugh at the table read when I asked for the butter in the dinner sketch. I didn't get it at the dress. What did I do wrong?
Matt: It's one laugh out of 30 you're gonna get tonight.
Harriet: What did I do wrong?
Matt: You asked for the laugh.
Harriet: What did I do at the table read?
Matt: You asked for the butter.
Harriet: (smiles)
Matt: Good show.
Harriet: Good show.

We are not normal.

I wonder if there really was a darker subtext to Rugrats that I just wasn’t able to see as a youngster. Either way, this is the most gloriously demented video I’ve seen in a while and I couldn’t love it more. Such a cool cast and an amazing eye for detail.
If it were advertising a real, feature-length film, I’d be there… a few times over. *notices awkward stares from...

Now I’m depressed! Not really, but I am called to re-examine my priorities when it’s taken into account that Emily Hagins, the writer/director of the above horror comedy, is only 17 years old. Not only that - this girl emerged onto the scene when she was 12 and became a starlet of the film festival circuit at 14 when the 2009 documentary Zombie Girl chronicled her rise to fame.
Is My...

Belated Movie Review #2
MARGIN CALL
I saw Margin Call and I want someone politically savvy to see Margin Call and explain to me what happened in Margin Call so that I can understand what happened in Margin Call. Still, excellent performances all around.

Belated Movie Review #1
THE THING
No offense to Eric Heisserer’s script (and I’m not just saying that because he’s the writer) or the performances of the actors (and I’m not just saying that because Mary Elizabeth Winstead is among them), but how is it that the most unremarkable moments in a movie called “The Thing” are the moments involving the thing?

It’s about time someone injected art-house sensibility and good, old-fashioned balls into the disaster-movie genre.

If you’ve seen Nip/Tuck, you already know that writers/producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk (also of Glee fame) have a rather dark, twisted sense of storytelling, one that is as disturbing as it is humorous. Given that, I’m rather excited that they’ve ventured into the horror genre with their new series, American Horror Story, and am anxious to see how they put their prints on...

Have you ever wondered what Romeo and Juliet would look like set in the world of The Warriors? If so, then it’s your lucky day, compliments of Best Coast’s new music video for their single “Our Deal.” The video is helmed by Drew Barrymore and stars a veritable grab-bag of up-and-coming stars. Fun times!

The All Stars Tour
Just got back from watching a crapton of metal bands. Here are the random thoughts that crossed my mind:
Close Your Eyes - I can’t tell if Funeral For a Friend just got more punk or if Millencolin got more metal, but I knows I likes it. Attilla - A speedy, lyrical MC who spits rhymes in the form of gutteral growls? I think someone just reinvented the rap metal wheel. For All Those Sleeping...

I literally gasped when I saw this was online! The poster ain’t half bad, either.
I must admit I was formerly disenchanted to find out that John Carpenter’s sci-fi/horror classic “The Thing” would be entering the annals of cinematic retreads (It’s a staple for my DVD player every October, after all). Then, I found out that producers Marc Abraham and Eric Newman - the...

I really, honestly, truly, absolutely hate that I kind of, sort of, almost want to think about seeing this… in 2-D, of course.
