1. You want to see Pan's Labyrinth, you just don't know it yet. It's opening in December, but Mercedes and I are going to see it on November 10th at the Denver Film Festiva (I'm getting tickets tomorrow during lunch)l. Check out the HD trailer. It's being billed as a gothic fairytale for adults.

It's a good time to be a zombie fanatic.

Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are fighting out a bidding war over who gets the movie rights for Max Brooks' latest zombie book. For those of you cool enough to be in the know, Max Brooks (Mel Brooks' nephew) wrote the most logical book about zombie survival: The Zombie Survival Guide. And now this fall he ( Read more... )

So, I was watching The Dukes of Hazzard movie, just to see what they did to the story of the Duke boys. It's not even 3½ minutes into the movie, and the door to the General Lee was just opened.

No.

Fuck this movie.

Since this is the first Valentine's Day I've been single for since 1999, I've gone back to calling it Bloody Severed Head Day*, as many of you have already figured out. Particularly many of you with MySpace accounts or those who saw my last post. But, while watching the deleted scenes from Fight Club, I heard the most romantic line no one has ever ( Read more... )

Clerks 2 Teaser ...

This morning, I went out to Blockbuster to get some DVDs 'cause they're doin' the 3 for $25 Previously Viewed DVDs. Figured there were a couple newer movies I would like to get for cheaper than they cost new. Saddly, the selection was very similar to the selection at the Blockbuster I worked at several months ago. There are some movies that just ( Read more... )

Here's some movie news for you all ...

1. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is on DVD! That's right. The '80s cheese ball of grotesque puppetry is available in the new millenia. Now I can toss my bootleg VHS and get the DVD and have only two remaining VHS tapes that I'll need to transfer to DVD at some point. Now, to patiently wait for Howard the Duck ( Read more... )

Slither ... this movie is comparing itself to a host of the classic horror movies, and claiming it to be above and beyond them on the terror-o-meter. I hope this is all tongue-in-cheeck, because this movie does not even seem in the same league as the likes of Alien and A Nightmare on Elm Street. It feels more on the level with Critters. Probably ( Read more... )

I've decided it's time I start working on my first screenplay. I've installed Movie Magic Screenwriter on my computer again. A screenplay works out at about a page a minute, so if I set for myself the ambitious goal of writing one page a day, I would have a complete first draft of a screenplay in 3 months. I have a copy of the Army of Darkness ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been productive today. I went down to a Cingular store and transfered my plan to Omaha, so that now I don't have to worry about pesky roaming charges anymore. I now have an Omaha number. I also found out that I'm eligable for a phone upgrade in December! I thought I was going to have to wait until the spring since I signed up for a ( Read more... )
