On the Prometheus Blue-Ray extras, there is an overt reference to Peter Weyland discussing the use of biological replicants vs. mechanical androids with Dr. Eldon Tyrell, who you might know as the founder of the Tyrell Corporation in director Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. I honestly have no idea why Scott would decide to merge his [...]
Here’s the new James Bond theme song, courtesy of Adele. I’ve long thought that Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings should get a shot at a Bond song, but Adele would have been my 1A choice. “Skyfall” doesn’t disappoint. It’s sexy and really harkens back to the classic Bond-themes of yore. UPDATE: “Skyfall” was released [...]
J.J. Abrams went on Conan last night, and brought the first footage of the second Star Trek movie, which is called Star Trek into Darkness. That’s a terrible name for the new movie. Just horrendous. Anyway, don’t get too excited because the clip is more of a joke than anything else, but, I guess we [...]
I don’t have any earthly idea why Twentieth Century Fox thought it would be a good idea to dust of John McClane for a fourth Die Hard movie. It wasn’t any good, and just like the fourth Indiana Jones movie, promptly erased from the collective conscious of the franchise’s fans. Still, money brought everyone back [...]

Raiders is preferred by those who refuse to take Spielberg (and pop culture) seriously. It’s actually less elegant than the widely disliked Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which [...]
Walt Disney Pictures has released the first trailer for the Gore Verbinski-directed adaptation of The Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp stars as Tonto, the “Native American spirit warrior” who joins forces with Armie Hammer’s “famed masked hero”. Given that the movie comes from Verbinski, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and was written Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio, [...]
As of today, MoviePass offers all-you-can-watch movie-going for less than $40 a month. The service is positioning itself as the “Netflix for theaters.” It’s not supported by theaters at all, but as I understand it, you sign up for the service and MoviePass provides access to one free movie ticket per day. To use the [...]
Everyone and their mom knows that at some point Hollywood is going to remake Goonies and Back to the Future because there is no god or justice in this cruel remake world we live in. Nothing is untouchable. College Humor imagines what a BTTF remake might be like. As you lament the inevitable, consider this: [...]
