If any of you is in the film_stills community, I just capped RoboCop (selectively, obviously). If you're not, here's the caps in LJ-gallery form.

Oh man I hope this happens properly.

I never realized that the protagonist of at least Johnny Cash's version of 'Cocaine Blues' is named Billy Lee. This really made me want to do a video for it with footage from Naked Lunch (what is it with me and Peter Weller lately?), although I don't think there's enough there to sustain it. After the William Tell act, there's, uh... I don't know. ( Read more... )

Talkies ruin everything.
From the nice men who brought us that wonderful rendition of 'Barney Google.'

Since I'm sort of paying attention to the Transformers movie (which I have not yet seen and probably will not pay for in the future), further hilarity can be found at the New Yorker. It doesn't live up to the marvelous deconstruction of Dude, Where's My Car? I read in I think Sight and Sound back in 2003 (which was just beautiful), but then LITTLE ( Read more... )

Not very spoilery review of the new Transformers movie. Whoops, all Michael Bay!

The cartoonbrew crowd and such are getting kind of goofy over this article, which is unfortunate, in part. Okay, the 'self-perpetuating middle-aged losers' concept is amusing, but what is this crap about referential humor ruining the source material? If you're unable to deal with two different versions of a scene, one amusing and one not, you ( Read more... )

Logos and N0wak lunk to this Tarantino debate between a Lover and a Hater. I of course side almost entirely with the Hater (who makes many points I've been trying for years to make about various things), although I do really think Reservoir Dogs is a well-realized film. Haven't seen Grindhouse though. If, as Hater says, the redeeming factor is ( Read more... )
