I have so far been able to resist any of the themed Lego sets since the Star Wars ones, which I tend to use in making my own spaceship designs. I just couldn’t see what I’d be doing with a Batman or Spider-Man set. But I can tell you already that I’ll be getting at [...]
So what do you guys think? Is Harrison Ford too old? Is a over-60 Indy just weird? Or is possibly going to rule?
Just kidding this is going to so rule.

Todd Alcott, screenwriter, watched every single Bond movie and blogged it all. My favorite section so far: challenging his readers to upstage the title “Octopussy.”
The task, I admit, was harder than it appears to be. I asked that the proposed titles include the Latin form of a number, a pun, and a vulgar term for [...]
The trailer for the upcoming Christmas movie I Am Legend is online. Here’s the thing: It actually looks pretty good as far as post-apoc thrillers go—especially for New Yorkers; That shot of him driving golf balls off the back of the SR-71 on the carrier was great—but it doesn’t look anything like the original Matheson [...]
Morning Tonic: Knocked Up Deleted Scene
6 Comments Published by Joel May 25th, 2007 in Movies, Tonic. Share ThisI’ve already stated how much I’m looking forward to Knocked Up, but this NSFW clip describing how Ang Lee should have filmed the sex scenes in Brokeback Mountain makes me ravenous to know how good the stuff they left in will be.

Look, there’s no way this trailer is safe for work, filled as it is with exploding human bodies. In fact, it’s probably not properly called a “trailer,” as there’s no way this version would make it into movie theaters unedited. Instead consider it a preview to a movie that by rights should be horrible, yet [...]
My Name Is Bruce, Starring Bruce Campbell
4 Comments Published by Joel May 10th, 2007 in Great Men, Movies. Share ThisIf anyone other than Bruce Campbell decided to make a movie spoofing his most famous character—Ash, from the Evil Dead movies, although we also would have accepted “himself”—I’d call it the absolutely bottom of the barrel in fame for fame’s sake. But it’s Bruce “Shop Smart” Campbell, who can and has never done no wrong. [...]
I can’t even finish reading it without posting it here. I’m dying. It’s so funny, I’m wet. Please make sure you’re not reading this in the presence of a tightassed boss. [It's a review of "Return of the King," since Alex was too "wet" to actually tell you. -Ed.] [thenoiseboard.com]
When I was 20, I bought a pair of boot cut jeans, zip-up ankle boots, and a puffy-but-fitted vest. It became my default outfit for about a year, because every time I wore it I felt like Han Solo. Double Viking plucks the best 15 Solo quotes from the movies and offers real-life examples of when they would be appropriate to use. I must agree with their #1 choice: every woman I’ve ever said “I know” to has melted (after they got done socking me). [Double Viking]
Judd Apatow directed 40-Year-Old Virgin, probably 2005’s best comedy, and is back with Knocked Up, which he not only directed but wrote. (The movie’s poster, featuring Seth Rogan’s mug, is even set on a gradient background that is reminiscent of Virgin’s Steve Carrell poster.) The regular Apatow gang is back, with Paul Rudd, James Franco, [...]
Fundamental Coincidences in Spider-Man 3
8 Comments Published by Joel May 7th, 2007 in Movies. Share ThisCoincidence can ruin a movie by making the plot less believable, yet it is one of the few things that many movie watchers will let slide, even as you shrilly point it out to them over and over again outside the movie theater. Screenwriter John August takes a look at last weekend’s big show, Spider-Man [...]
