Muppet Wicker Man!
I hereby demand Muppet versions of all classic horror films. Immediately.
Twilight TOTALLY Invented Werewolves
According to a (hopefully fake) email sent in to a movie review website by some tween fuckwit, Universal Studios should be ashamed for ripping off the whole “werewolf” concept from the Twilight franchise. Oh, and also for doing a bad job of it and making the werewolf ugly, instead of totally dreamy like the gay indian kid in Twilight.
I weep for our future.
This gorgeously-produced clip shows reality vs what we see on TV. I knew greenscreens (chromakey) are prevalent in film, but I didn’t realize just how prevalent they are on TV as well, even for seemingly mundane scenes. It’s reasonable for explosions and other scenes that would be expensive or difficult to reproduce in real life, but it would appear they get used all the time even to show people just walking down the street. Cool stuff. (via Boingboing)
The first official trailer for the new A-Team movie. Looks pretty badass. Shame about the picture quality, but what do you expect from an early leaked copy. The trailer is supposed to debut officially at theaters this weekend. Hopefully we’ll see some HD versions next week.
Wow. There are fan films, and then there are fan films. Zelda: The Hero of Time is an independently produced feature-length Zelda movie that looks really good, despite its low budget. I can’t say I’m a fan of Link’s emo eye makup, but otherwise, bravo. You can watch the entire film on Dailymotion. I suggest you check it out now, before Nintendo’s legal dicks send a cease & desist.

The sad thing is, this mashup is probably better than the movie itself. (via Digg)
The new A-Team. From left to right: Bradley Cooper, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, Sharlto Copley (the guy from District 9), and Liam Neeson. I’m cautiously optimistic. (via Digg)
Remember when action movies didn’t suck? Back in the 80s, all you needed were some muscled-up, wise-cracking heroes, all the guns in the world, and one metric fuck-ton of explosions. No over-done slow-mo camera tricks, no CGI, no reboot of a remake of a TV series based on a comic book, and no Michael “jackass” Bay dicking it all up.
The Expendables is bringing the awesome back to action movies. I can’t wait.
