Del Toro Comes Out of Hobbit Closet (via FSR) →
Dave favorite (or davorite) Guillermo del Toro has officially announced that he will be directing The Hobbit. I liked the LotR trilogy as much as the next basement dweller, but the mere thought of G del T helming this thing is enough to send me into fits of giddy, some might say girlish delight. The man is a certified badass, or in his native tongue, mal asno certificado. Rumor has it that Ron...
Just got back
from Baby Mama. It exceeded expectations. Not so much that I’m inclined to write more.
Also, this. I love comic book movies.
Also also, met Peter Gallagher yesterday. He was very friendly. He’s the only man with eyebrows more impressive than my own.
Recent Film Roundup
natedna:
recently saw two films via netflix: Lars and the Real Girl and Wristcutters. Some reactions follow: Lars and the Real Girl: i’m a sucker for films about community. i’m also a sucker for sentimentality. a northern town in perpetual winter becomes the backdrop for a love story between an introvert and a church girl. small towns in movies are so much more open-minded than i would imagine...
So I'm...
about to see Baby Mama. Tina Fey will be mine.

Would Indiana Jones’ Death Be OK? | SpoutBlog →
I would be totally ok with Indiana Jones dying. It’s about time, homeboy is ancient. And it would put a definite end to the possibility of Indiana Jones and the Adult Diapers of Andaman.
So long as Shia LaBoeuf doesn’t take up his whip. Shudder.

Robert Downey Jr. Channels Tony Stark (via... →
davedna: I would expect no less from the actor in Iron Man’s shiny red rocket boots. Kicking an addiction to pills and booze is hard, but every recovering junkie needs a hobby. And both Tony Stark and Robert Downey Jr. have chosen high profile f*ckery to take the edge off.

Last night I went to see the new card shark movie 21. I hadn’t heard much about it before I sat down in the theater. I was really only there to partake in a birthday celebration with friends. You should all know I’m very critical of films, I mean I spent five years studying them, writing...

David Fincher's World War Z (via The Deadbolt) →
davedna: I am pumped for this movie. The book was a departure from typical zombie horror, and I’m sure David Fincher will deliver. For those of you who dig the undead, check out the book. And then let’s go check out the movie.
