There Isn’t Much To The New International Banners For The Avengers
I normally have no problem with Mark Ruffalo. In fact, I find him to be a pretty good actor in most of the romantic comedies he’s done. I’ve just been insanely embittered and unforgiving that he took Edward Norton’s character. Ed Norton is by the more talented actor and it’s frustrating knowing how much work [...]
Drama Ensues Regarding The Departure Of Patty Jenkins From The Thor 2 Shoot
When Patty Jenkins left THOR 2, the stories led us to believe that it was mutual because of that whole “creative differences” thing. But apparently, there’s a lot more that’s been swept under the rug for this particular story. I was wondering why the same reason was being cited for a different director, but the [...]
Game of Throne Helmer Alan Taylor May Pick Up Thor 2
It’s really infuriating seeing different comments about any woman director destroying the sequel to THOR, let alone Patty Jenkins. It’s just how the fuck does a different set of genitals automatically make you the inferior… anything?! Damn, these backward assholes really get under my skin, man. I can continue preaching what’s been said before, but [...]
The Lone Ranger Gets His Villain In Tom Wilkinson
After that budgetary disaster that actually put Disney’s THE LONE RANGER in jeopardy, the flick looks like it’s falling right in place. Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer are still in while director Gore Verbinski is tasked with choosing his cast. It looks like those initially tapped to play their roles have kept their schedules open [...]
Patty Jenkins Leaves The Thor 2 Shoot
There was a bit of controversy regarding Patty Jenkins landing the job as the director of THOR 2. There were some issues with the fact that she was a woman helming a superhero movie, because apparently there are some backward assholes who still don’t give any credit to women directors. Regardless, apparently those assholes won’t [...]
Who’s To Blame For John Carter Of Mars Becoming Just John Carter? You!
I always get up in arms at the Infamous HQ whenever Hollywood seems to be overtly insulting our intelligence. However, earlier today, a sudden calm came over me, and I realized there really was no reason for me to constantly throw up my arms in disgust, waving my fists in outrage. Why? Because we did [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Muppets
I love THE MUPPETS. That’s about as clear as I can be about Disney’s resurrection of the Muppet brand, returning the likes of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Beaker, Scooter, Skeeter, Animal, Rowlf, Sweetums and the rest of the gang to the big screen for the first time in 12 years. The [...]
We’re Getting A Full-On Monster Movie From Guillermo Del Toro
I can tell you, I haven’t really been a fan of Guillermo Del Toro. BLADE II wasn’t all that great and I honestly wasn’t too big into the ending the first HELLBOY flick. But the moment PAN’S LABYRINTH came out, I shut the hell up. That’s when I found out what a serious visionary he [...]
Get Excited Because We Got Character Posters For The Avengers
The AVENGERS are assembling and pretty quickly I might add, because even though there’s like 7 months away from the actual release, Disney/Marvel are pushing the hell out of this flick. First there was that awful cover for EW, then we got the official teaser trailer that had me squealing with glee, and now it [...]
I Feel Like I Can Be Brave After Seeing The Trailer
Yesterday, we got some breathtaking stills as if to brag that Pixar’s just that fucking talented in their animation because their insane attention to detail to make things oh so beautiful and realistic. So by then, even though these stills were impressive, I really wasn’t that excited about BRAVE. I knew it was going to [...]
The Characters From Tangled Return In A Short Seen In From Of Beauty And The Beast 3D
When the first trailer for TANGLED came out, I was not impressed. I was really disappointed that the trailer focused on the insanely annoying and underdeveloped character that is Flynn Rider (he did grow to be three-dimensional, but in the trailer, he wasn’t). I was initially into it because it’s a Disney princess movie, it [...]
Disney/Pixar’s Brave Gives Us New Stills
As far as filmmakers go, I can honestly say that I can rank Pixar above many, many production companies nowadays. What can I say, aside from the CARS franchise, they haven’t had one bad flick. The funny part is, they make cartoons, apparently cartoons don’t generally pull their weight in the movie industry because they’re [...]
UPDATED!!! Disney Releases Poster Advertising Their Continuing Abuse Of 3D
UPDATE: With the poster, of course, we got the trailer for the 3D release of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. For the most part, it’s the same old song and dance, nothing new, nothing big, nothing really all that interesting for someone who’s already seen it before. I do like that little CGI rose that [...]
You’ll Need Some Spell To Find Harry Potter DVDs And Blu-rays In Stores After The New Year
If you were planning to wait awhile to grab the last chapter of the HARRY POTTER film series – DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 – on Blu-ray or DVD, you might want to rethink that strategy. If you didn’t know if you wanted to spring for the eight-disc box set of all the films in one [...]
Jerry Bruckheimer Details Some Of The Difficulty Getting Disney To Go Forward With The Lone Ranger
For the last few months we’ve heard a lot about Disney’s THE LONE RANGER. The film has gone from being over budget, to shut down, to back in production. Now that things appear to be going smoothly, the film’s producer Jerry Bruckheimer sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to finally break his silence and talk about [...]
The Muppets Try To Get Famous Again For Their Final Trailer
Walt Disney Pictures has released the final trailer for their revival of THE MUPPETS, and, if you’re a Muppets fan, you are absolutely going to love what it appears Jason Segel has waiting for us at the end of November. We get some semblance of a story about the Muppets putting the band back together [...]
The Avengers Assemble In Their First Epic Trailer
I knew that we’d finally be getting our first look at THE AVENGERS in action today, but I wasn’t exactly sure when that would happen. I was hoping it might happen first thing this morning, or perhaps sometime right in the middle of the afternoon. I didn’t quite expect it to drop right smack in [...]
New Photos From The Set Of Avengers
Following that ridiculous Entertainment Weekly cover, where we find the Avengers’ weakness is a bad Photoshop job, and they made sure to compensate by providing photos in the same issue. The photos look fantastic, the sets look crazy realistic and still maintains a comic book charm, the costumes look great, and the actors look like [...]
Disney Is Re-Releasing More Classics Theatrically In 3-D
It’s not like Disney is hurting for money, but you can never have enough if you’re The Mouse, and the geniuses over in the Magic Kingdom have figured how to keep Cinderella’s castle overflowing with your box office dollars. Coming off a pretty impressive theatrical re-release of THE LION KING in 3-D in advance of [...]
The Avengers Assemble For A Magazine Cover, Sort Of
THE AVENGERS is in high gear and leaks of fan pics from the set continue to surface all over the place, but while its filming, Disney and Marvel have been awfully quiet on the marketing front. Us comic book geeks, movie geeks, and action fanatics are just going to have to wait patiently until the [...]
After Some Financial Issues, Disney’s The Lone Ranger Will Ride Again
Until Disney originally pulled the plug on the project, I was really looking forward to their big screen adaptation of THE LONE RANGER. The word going around was that the film would cost too much for The Mouse at upwards of $250 million, and Disney was unwilling to fork over that sort of cash to make what [...]
Marvel Studios Pres Says Thor Will Travel In Space For Sequel
So the big announcement yesterday was that Patty Jenkins was closing in a deal to be the director for THOR 2, which was met with some lukewarm reception here. That news may or may not be the best for our Norse Thunder God. Nevertheless, following that report, Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios commander-in-chief, started spilling on [...]
Monster Helmer Patty Jenkins May Direct Thor 2
With the very talented Kenneth Brannagh leaving production of THOR 2, it left the sequel without a director, thereby making me a sad panda. THOR was a great comic book adaptation and Brannagh really knew how to bring the Norse God to life without making him too ridiculously campy. No, thankfully he didn’t channel the [...]
Disney Inks Deal To Bring James Cameron’s Avatar To Disney Theme Parks
“Over there, that’s Fantasyland. And right next door, that’s Tomorrowland. And across the park, you’ll find Frontierland… and then Pandora.” Okay, so the tour might not go exactly like that, but it’s a lot more real than you would have ever imagined now that Disney has inked a deal with James Cameron, producer Jon Landau, [...]
The Muppets Take On The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo In Latest Parody Trailer
Ever since the first riff on a romantic comedy where no one know exactly what the hell was going on, the parody trailers Disney has been rolling out to promote THE MUPPETS have been getting better and better. No one has been safe from GREEN LANTERN to THE HANGOVER PART II, but today the Muppets [...]
