I'm gonna have to take your word. Don't really speak Western, bunk.(Which I understand is weird in a wanna-be crime writer, but you know I'm weird, so, big surprise. I don't know if women crime writers feel that same love, though.)

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Mike Myers will star as the Who's drummer Keith Moon in an untitled feature being mobilized by Spitfire Pictures. Roger Daltrey is producing with Spitfire's Nigel Sinclair. Bill Gerber also is producing.
Daltrey and Sinclair have worked on the Moon project on and off for about 10 years, but the film will be on a fast track and a director will be set shortly.
Myers last appeared onscreen in "The Cat in the Hat."
Hmm, so apparently an angry mob didn't proceed directly from the theater to tar and feather him after viewing it...
Junior Bonner's not so much a Western as a quiet little character study about an aging rodeo star.

Oh fuck. That was so Jason Schartzmann's gig.
In a disturbing revelation, Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park told SCI FI Wire that his lovable, expressive dog Gromit was initially supposed to be a cat. "He was going to be a cat at first, and then when I was molding him, I found out it was simply easier to make a dog," said Park, who created the Academy Award-winning stop-motion-animated duo of a cheese-loving Englishman and his brilliant dog. "They became a couple, like an elderly husband and wife, and Gromit is the long-suffering wife, always rolling his eyes."
Even more disturbing, when Park decided to make Gromit a dog, he first gave him a voice. "I had Gromit with a Scooby-Doo kind of voice, a bit gravelly," Park said. "In the drawings he always had a mouth."
That Shining trailer was excellent. Very clever.

I know Mirrormask is in obscenely limited release right now, but anyone who can go see it should -- it's absolutely enchanting and becautiful and wonderful and OMG the library scene made me want to stand up in the theatre and cheer. The girl playing the main character is excellent too -- if Gaiman ever gets High Cost of Living off the ground, she'd make a fantastic Death.
OMG Shining clip awesome.
This is why trailers can be the coolest thing ever.
