28th June - start saving your pennys people!

Apologies for the work-related postin', but this it is something that you krazy kids will be interested in...

Be a Nazi zombie extra in 'Outpost 2: Black Sun'

Also, if you 'Like' the page, I will be extra happy.

Expository subtitles coming to a tv show near you.

"Drunken Dawf sings Cutie Patootie"
The Original

There are no words to describe HOW WRONG this is.

Jason Schwartzman joins Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom"

That's ridiculous!

Viggo Mortensen is Zod (question mark)

AMC and Matthew Weiner finally make a deal so that they can keep making Mad Men together

It seems that a lot of the stuff that Weiner was against - cutting two members of the cast per year (which would leave us with, what, Don and Peggy just talking to each other every episode by season 7?) and cutting the running time of the episodes - have been compromised on, which is fine by me if it means that the show can keep going with its chief architect in place. Shame that it won't be until March before new episodes air, but at least there will finally be new episodes.

I like the idea of this. But the execution may be flawed.

Snyder has since said that it definitely won't be him.

Ach well. I wonder who.

LCD Soundsystem's final ever show at Madison Square Gardens was recorded for Pitchfork and is available on YouTube. All three hours and forty minutes of it. They definitely went out in style.

Why do Amazon all reviews on items that haven't been released yet, and won't be for a number of months?

The Star Wars and Lord of the Rings Blu-Ray releases have several one star reviews each because they are either not the original theatrical versions (Star Wars) or the films are split over two disks (LotR).

F****** trolls.

Wait. Lotr films are split over discs? I mean. Each film is on a separate disc right? And not that each film is spread over 2 discs?

Each film is split over two disks.

I'm no Troll. But that's stupid.

The comments on Amazon aren't quite as well framed as yours, Rua!

I'm guessing that they have a good reason for doing it and - let's face it - the extended version of Return of the King is nearly four hours long, it's quite likely you're going to stop it at some point anyway . . .

Remember that promo trailer for a proposed Mortal Kombat reboot starring Jeri Ryan that did the rounds a while back? It's been made into a web original series.

Dy-na-mite, Dy-na-mite!

Michael Shannon, which is pretty inspired casting.

Hobbit is 48 frames per second.


I hope he (BOARDWALK EMPIRE SPOILERS AHEAD!) fucks Lois Lane and then breaks down crying and then maybe drowns a jew.

Ooo I like it.

Little White Lies are running a competition to guess all 21 Japanese films featured in this picture. I can get ones below, but wondered if anyone else knew what the rest were:

My Neighbour Totoro
Spirited Away
Perfect Blue
Tokyo Story (Possibly Late Spring, but I'm pretty sure it's an Ozu)
Akira
Ikuri
Ringu
Battle Royale
House
Seven Samurai
Zatoichi
Yojimbo(?)
Audition
Princess Mononoke
Astroboy

Ghost In The Shell
I think Tampopo is there as well, but it's been a while since I last saw it, so I can't be sure.

The bloke next to Chigusa looks like Mifune in Sanjuro.

It was Yojimbo, according to the complete list:

Rashomon 1950
Tokyo Story 1953

Seven Samurai 1954

Ikiru 1952

The Burmese Harp 1956
Yojimbo 1961
Astro Boy 1963
Lone Wolf & Cub 1972
House 1977
My Neighbour Totoro 1988
Ghost in the Shell 1995
Ringu 1998
Audition 1999
Perfect Blue 1998
Akira 1998
Battle Royale 2000
Spirited Away 2001
Nobody Knows 2004
Zatoichi 2003

Sakuran 2006
Princess Mononoke 1997

Once again, I am reminded that I need to check out Lone Wolf & Cub.

That's probably because it is the same character/actor.

I have the box set and love it. Though I can see why a lot of people dismiss it as a waste of time. I have the entire manga collection as well and that's even better. Really should give that a read again at some point.

The 50 greatest westerns? That'll be the day.

McCabe and Mrs Miller is hugely overated. It hasn't dated very well (lots of cheesy 70s songs), Altman talky nonsense and is awful dreary in parts. Some interesting choices like Ulzana's Raid (which my dad loves). Unforgiven and the Wild Bunch should be in the top 10.

Also - no True Grit (Coen's version)? It's fucking superb.

I really, really like McCabe and Mrs Miller, but there's no way that it deserves to be Number 1. (And Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid needs to be way, way down.) Apart from the order, that list has lots of really interesting choices.

This review has made me want to see Water For Elephants

If I never read a sentence greater than this, I shall die a happy man.

That is an immensely funny review.



Ha!

I should read Filmdrunk more.

For me Female Performance In A Comedy Programme is by far the most difficult to choose a fave from.


Situation Comedy - Mrs Brown's Boys (BBC One)! Yet no nom for Miranda. A travesty

It'd be Dawn French for me. Alfred Molina had some of the bigger moments in Roger & Val but she was great in the quieter ones.

Mrs Browns Boys is rubbs. Sherlock is acers.

I hope Gillian wins. But i would.

Check out this vid from friend of ipse & jessop, nessybear:

It's not a given, but I would expect Miranda Hart to get it, given that she's cleaned up at practically every other comedy award this year.



That suprised me too (see above).

The link isn't working.

Edit: It worked when I copied and pasted it.

Haha, it's very funny.

^ Link fixed.

Many many covers of Lolita

Vintage Safe Sex posters

Brilliant

'Condoman - Don't be shame, be game!' Wise words indeed.

Condoman because I don't know where you've been you dirty bitch.

The National Movie Awards were on for two hours, did they really only give out nine awards? (and one of them was for films that haven't even been released yet!).

Just brilliant!

Original ending to Election So glad they changed it.

Glee leaving E4/C4 - out bid by a stupidly high Sky offer.

Whilst I don't watch the show, I lament the loss of another popular program from terrestrial TV (Glee following in the wake of 24 and Lost) when so few get shown there now in the first place.

Is it wrong that I'm kind of happy about that purely because it means I don't have to put up with the adverts any more?
