    (04-16-2007) Taymor to Direct Spider-Man Musical, Scored by Bono & Edge - BW*

    Indeed, I didn't know there was, but I just saw something yesterday about "It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman" (The Musical). I bet it was classic! :wink:

    (04-16-2007) Taymor to Direct Spider-Man Musical, Scored by Bono & Edge - BW*

    Well, as a fan of Broadway theatre and of the band, I have to say I think it sounds like some funky judgement on their part. I"m all for them branching out (and like I said before, I don't think writing a musical is necessarily a bad idea in and of itself), but with this as the vehicle? I'll...

    (04-16-2007) Taymor to Direct Spider-Man Musical, Scored by Bono & Edge - BW*

    Looks like this is actually moving forward. Readings are scheduled and casting notices have been put out...I don't know what to make of this. On the one hand, I'm getting sick of the excess of movies turned musicals/jukebox musicals/pop-star penned musicals, but for every Tarzan/Lestat/Good...

    Across the Universe Recut with out Director knowing!!!

    I don't know the details about Donnie Darko, but was it a similar situation to this with the theatrical cut being something taken completely out of the director's hands (done without his approval)? Or was it more like the studio suggesting changes/cuts, the director making them, then releasing...

    The Office Part 2: Ain't No Party Like a Scranton Party

    Having shelled out $100+ on many a college text book, I couldn't help but cringe when he started ripping those pages out (thank god I was an English major, so after I got the general courses out of the way a typical class had a bunch of novels that I could pick up for under $10, rather than the...

    The Office Part 2: Ain't No Party Like a Scranton Party

    Awwww...Michael did something non-jackass-y! What a great episode.

    Which REM album should I get next?

    He still had his boxers on...I wonder if I can find a picture (I remember there were some on Murmurs after the show).

    Which REM album should I get next?

    I was at that show too! They opened (for the first and only time) with It's the End of the World as We Know It. It was an great show, complete with Michael dropping trou at the end and being carried off the stage!

    Buying Used Movies

    I buy nearly all my DVDs used at Blockbuster (pity Hollywood Video went out of business in NYC, but when I visit my folks, I make sure to stop by Hollywood and Movie Gallery for their Buy 2, Get 2 deal). It's always kind of hit or miss. I haven't bought any for a while, but last time I bought...

    (01-29-2007) 'U2-charist': Bono moves in mysterious ways - Reuters*

    They did a little piece about this on The Daily Show around the holidays (though, I think the church they were showing clips from was in the States, not the UK). They seemed a little crazy, flailing around to I Will Follow, to which Samantha Bee replied "If you walk away...please, just walk away!"

    The Great Interland Oscar Thread!

    Just had to ask! It's a hell of a fun show. I definitely think the late release had a lot to do with Children of Men being ignored (and the fact that they seemed to have kind of given up before they started, as far as mustering up any semblance of a campaign). I do think that Dreamgirls had...

    The Great Interland Oscar Thread!

    Have you seen Avenue Q?!?! Anyway, yeah, I definitely didn't get the big to-do about Crash (though I wasn't that crazy about Brokeback either...I was pulling for an upset by Capote or Good Night and Good Luck). And for the Crash/Babel comparisons...I didn't love Babel, by any stretch of the...

    The Great Interland Oscar Thread!

    LemonMacPhisto, I saw Letters from Iwo Jima last weekend (I'll be seeing Venus sometime this weekend). I wasn't as blown away as many critics were, but I don't really have a huge problem with it being nominated for Best Picture (certainly not at Dreamgirls' expense). I'm not big on war films in...

    The Great Interland Oscar Thread!

    OK, here we go. I've seen (I think) 43 movies this year, at my last tally...some thoughts on the nominations, from what I've seen: SO GLAD that Dreamgirls got shut out from the major categories (can't wait to hear what Papa Knowles is going to have to say after Beyonce and the picture didn't...

    Golden Globe Awards

    I think it was a pretty blech year for the Red Carpet. I thought there were a lot of trashy looking women...Cameron Diaz and Sienna Miller are such a mess! And women that usually look great (Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslett, Selma Hayek) looked pretty bad (Blanchett's hair was wretched, and...

    Golden Globe Awards

    I saw The Last King of Scotland a few months ago. Whitaker was amazing (still haven't seen Venus, so I can't say how he compares to O'Toole, who seems to be his only major competition). Forget being on the edge of your seat, when the movie finally ended I was shocked at just how hard I had...

    What festive films will you be watching this year?

    I'm with you. I did not get the big to-do about Love Actually. My folks have it on DVD, so I suppose it may be thrown into the mix, but I thought it was terrible. Schmaltzy, unfunny, and a bunch of characters whose stories made me want to puke more than go "Awwww." Call me a grinch if you must...

    The Colbert Report

    Did anyone see Stephen on Charlie Rose last night? I missed the first few minutes of it, but it was really intersting. A lot of stuff I'd already heard from him being interviewed before, but I always find it interesting to see the contrast between his real personalitye and the character on the...

    Sounds like WAY to big a blood bath pour moi. I'll most definitely be passing on this one, thank you very much!

    The Office.......

    Hey, have you guys heard about Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (written by, directed by, and starring John Krasinski)?!? I guess it's filming now in New York with Josh Charles (from Sports Night) and Dominic Cooper (from The History Boys...I remember seeing pictures of John at the opening on...

    His Dark Materials

    Meegannie, I'm so jealous! I've seen some little clips of the National's production of His Dark Materials and it looked like quite the show (plus I'm a big History Boys fan and would have loved to've seen Dominic Cooper and Co. in something else on stage). A visit to London will certainly...
