Oh No! Oh My! Oy Vey!

Sequels Galore! WTH? Reboots galore! Remakes galore! Can we please get SOME originality in Hollywood? PLEASE? Is that just too much to add? Too much of a departure from the norm? Too much to hope for? Egads! http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/its-a-deal-tom-cruise-in-mi4-for-paramount/ http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2010/02/can-you-reboot-one-film-franchise-mr.html http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2010/01/pierre-morel-to-direct-dune.html http://www.cinematical.com/2010/02/11/the-best-little-whorehouse-in-texas-hits-the-remake-pile/ http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-line-moves-ahead-with-escape-from.html http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2010/02/is-darren-aronofksy-still-on-board.html

Where money & art make love

Dagnabit! I like a brain with my widescreen, thank you! Guess with all the studios hyped up on reboots (geez), remakes (ugh), and sequels (blah) , the cineastes inside of us that yearn for regularly-scheduled, intelligent filmmaking (a la Scorcese, Demme, Mann, Fincher, Haynes) that’s rooted in this country will have to look no further… [...]

Precious Blackness 2010

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, [...]

Nerd-docious news: from DC!

DC Comics that is… Oh what joy for brainiac nerd-docious revelers of the world! Superman may finally, finally — FINALLY! — get the 21st-century zeitgeist kind of treatment he “deserves.” And, yes, DC should lean toward the comics, maybe with less aliens. If to match a little bit to Nolan’s alternate reality. Yes, there should [...]

Liking Ryan Reynolds now?

I dunno. He’s entering Lov-Hatn status. It’s not enough that Mr. Reynolds may have the potential hat-trick in ruining nerd-docious dreams everywhere… Being the smug-mouthed assassin in Blade: Trinity who just stares, lustfully (is this a word? IDK but it fits), Jessica Biel. What a horrible “end” to a brotha-led franchise. Marrying Scarlett Johannsen when [...]

(Raising my right hand wildly while fist-pumping with my left) Can I be in this man’s FIRST EVER family film? Puh-leeeeze? In fact… can I get this dude’s career? Geez. Between the choices that Mr. Scorcese, Mr. Spielberg, Mr. Pitt and Mr. Depp got in development, there should be no “dryness” in the creative pipeline. [...]
