This is about getting more than my (our, your) two cents in. Film-biz-wise. I’m not claiming to know it all. Don’t wanna. Just wanna share, discuss, ignore, react, analyze… you know the whole range. That being said: where’s the post-racial love? Where, oh where, is our Obama-jama?! One year later in our Prez’s history-making (-dealing, [...]

Oh boy… will this combo really get the money and trust needed to make this thing work? The tech, the hype, the gore, the surreality of the epic? Who’s writing this “bad boy?” (hello, over here!) Will two parts be enough? Casting wise, will Leo keep his mug behind the camera? Or would you trust [...]

Uhmm, uhm, that boy can eat! Ok, so I’m not a John Mayer fan as such (I just know the two or three songs) and I’m not NOT a John Mayer fan but I have a few water cooler thoughts on his recent “situation” and I’m just gonna hit this quick and dirty. John Mayer [...]
