Whedon And Super-Size Me Director Are Casting Their Comic Con Documentary
Rumor has it Morgan Spurlock and geek overlord Joss Whedon may teaming up for a project documenting fan culture at San Diego Comic Con. And they're looking for three subjects to follow around. Any takers?
After making a bunch of fanboy jokes, E! is reporting that Whedon and Spurlock are currently looking for the ultimate geeks to profile in a possible Comic Con documentary.
"They want to follow people for about three months leading up to this year's Comic-Con," the source said. "And then they want to film them there. They're looking at all types of people."
VICTORY!
Sorry, comic-con shoutout.
Rewatching The Fall. My love just grows. And now the end that usually ticks me off I finally get. Where before I viewed it as a horrific testimony to the f***ed up things stunt people did back in the day as compared to now and therefore was completely not in keeping with the rest of the story, I suddenly realized that it was about Alexandria's imagination and the power of that and that, whatever happened to Roy, in her eyes, he lived on forever in her eyes. Every stuntman was him, walking, standing, climbing, jumping and falling. The control she took over his story that finally gave him a reason to live, gave him the ability to heal and walk. Even if it isn't true, it's her story now.
Rewatching
Inglourious Basterds
I just caught that the basterds' seats at the premiere are Tarantino's usual seats at the Cinerama Dome (Row CC).
BAFTAs awarded.
Do these usually gibe at all with Oscars?
Ok. Just saw
The Princess and the Frog
tonight. I sobbed. It was awesome.
I saw The Young Victoria. It was a lush Masterpiece Theatre movie. And I've seen other films that cover the same territory, but it was still pretty and full of familiar British actors.
I bit the bullet and saw Valentine's Day today since I was desperate to get out and see an upbeat movie after an 85 hour workweek and catching part of a Queen latifah movie last night made me choose it over that Percy Jackson movie. To my surprise it was mostly enjoyable, Ashton Kutcher and Jamie Foxx didn't make me want to kill them for most of their screentime and Julia Roberts was watchable.
I had thought that the review slamming Taylor Swift had to be hyperbole, but HMOG she was by far the worst actor in a movie that featured Kutcher, Jessica Alba, numerous gradeschool kids, and Eric Dane.
WTF is John Cusak doing in Hot Tub Time Machine?!?
I just saw
Moon.
It was pretty good, but not as completely amazing as I expected from the hype. Sam Rockwell, however, is awesome. It wasn't for a long while that I consciously realized that
he was giving two completely different, believable, and ultimately sympathetic performances for the same character in the same movie.
That's something.
