Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Has anyone seen Pontypool ? I'd been wanting to see it ever since I read about it in Entertainment Weekly a couple years ago, and Netflix doesn't have it, but it popped up on Showtime On Demand this free weekend, so I was finally able to see it. It's a zombie movie where the virus is transmitted through language. The director calls the zombies "conversationalists." It takes place inside a radio station, and you hear the horror from outside reports, the host, producer, and technician being trapped inside. It's very unnerving and freaky.

The tagline is "Shut up or die."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

There are at least 2 things wrong with this:

Baz Luhrmann said that he has "workshopped" his upcoming film The Great Gatsby in 3D, though he has not made a final decision about whether to shoot the Carey Mulligan/Leonardo DiCaprio project that way or not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He's so avant garde. All those directors who just rehearse in 2D.

t /undoubtedly ignoring huge logistical differences

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Man, Entourage turns out real again? Of course, that was Scorcese's "Gatsby"

Oh my God, you guys. You know I like everything, even The Village and sort of The Happening, but I don't think I have ever actually laughed out loud at a ridiculous plot twist before.

And then I watched Knowing.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It should be a basic rule of moviegoing: If you see Nicholas Cage in the previews and he's not being yelled at by Cher or Holly Hunter, DO NOT SEE!
