ScannerDrome

This our latest ScannerDrome episode. We recorded it last night. Please don't let the length deter you :) I understand if you skip around. We talk a lot about the TV show Dominion, and the movie Storage 24, which we both really love.

Mickey from Dr. Who!

This could be interesting. I loved the character Mickey in Dr. Who, and I think Noel Clarke did a great job in Star Trek Into Darkness, also. I saw him at Dragon*Con and thought he was a natural in front of the microphone.

Yours Truly Was on 2 Mugs and a Movie!

Star Treks! I luvs da Star Treks!

 OMG. Make it so now!

New Star Trek Poster!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!




















Benedict Cumberbatch. That's what I'm talking about! Here's a Wiki article on the new movie.

World War Z

I'm not sure about this. It could be an awesome, thrilling movie, but I'm not sure it will resemble the book its named after. I read the book last year and I remember thinking that it was really a dozen or so disparate stories of survival, with no constant thread except the zombie apocalypse. Even the one continuous character, the narrator, was largely unknown and unheard. He was just there to introduce the survivors. The character didn't have much of his own personality, I thought.

When I first heard there was going to be a movie based on it, I remember thinking "How?" How are they going to wrangle all of these uncommon components? But maybe they have. They probably did have to change the structure of the story and develop the narrator's character. Here's hoping they did a good job.

Oh, and The Killing Lady! Mireille Enos. It's nice to see her! Thank you to io9 for the link.

Killing Me Softly With His Teeth...

This looks like it could be really good! It seems more of a Frankenstein-type story.
Also, if you ever watched About a Boy, I would like for you to keep in mind that this is the kid from that movie. Yes, this is the kid that brazenly, badly cracked out "Killing Me Softly" on stage with Hugh Grant.
Heh. It would have been cute if they'd named the movie "Killing Me Softly".
Thank you to io9 for the video.

Trailer for the new Evil Dead movie

Would it be treachery if I said this looks scarier than the original?

Ridley Scott talks about Blade Runner 2

He seems to let slip the answer to a very important question from the first movie. Don’t watch if you don’t want to know!

New Trailor for Cloud Atlas

I'm not sure about this. It might be Vanilla Sky weird, instead of life-altering weird.

Ben Affleck Talks About Argo

I am so excited for this movie.

TV and Film News

Blastr posted the new trailer for American Horror Story. It's only 19 seconds long. Hopefully they'll be a fuller trailer soon.

David Duchovny explains why he thinks the most recent X-Files movie didn't do well, and states he'd be game for a third.

Man, I loved The Dark Knight Rises. Joseph Gordon Levitt talks with Jimmy Kimmel about his role in the movie, and also about guesting on Sesame Street.




Pictures from Season 2 Fringe. Also, John Noble is back to work!

R-Rated Scenes Drawn as Illustrations for Children

The Mary Sue has become one of my favorite sites lately. I get their items through the Pulse app on my Kindle. I have the urge to re-post almost every article I see on the site. I'll try not to do that, because then my blog would just be an aggregate site. But it's Sunday afternoon, and I'm still swaying from side-to-side from the cruise on which I just went, so I'm going to refer to another article from them.

The site posted illustrations from Pixar illustrator Josh Cooley depicting well-known scenes from R-rated movies as children's pictures. It is wonderful.

Five Awesome Things That Fell From the Sky

EOnline has an article "Five Awesome Things That Fell From Space This Year

Warning: If like me, you haven't seen Cowboys and Aliens yet, you will be spoiled. Also, it says what's the what in Super 8. I don't think the other items are spoilery, but if you haven't seen Green Lantern, Thor or the latest Transformers movie, tread lightly!

New Blade Runner movie

Ridley Scott: Yes!

Harrison Ford: Unfortunately, probably not.

Read the Blastr article.

If Movie Posters Told The Truth

Heh. This is a very funny collection of movie poster mock-ups. I think the Transformers is the best and most truthful one.


By the by - I've been sick, folks. The coughing is coming (the fever was yesterday). I'll try to get better about posting, though.

Raw footage from Thor

Spanish Cthulu movie

Huh. Looks...fantastical. Not sure if that's in a good way, or a Clash of the Titans remake kinda way. We'll find out! I would definitely like to see this.

Thanks to Blastr for the link

Goodbye Blake Edwards

I grew up watching Blake Edwards movies.  Breakfast at Tiffany's has been one of my favorite movies since I was in high school. I would watch it on rainy days when I was feeling lonely, and didn't even have the company of a cat named Cat.

I thought Inspector Clouseau was the coolest, funniest character ever. I loved the Pink Panther movies. I thought the movies were modeled after the Pink Panther cartoon - not the other way around.  I loved Henry Mancini's music.

I didn't know he was American. I thought he was British like his wife, Julie Andrews, and like the star of the Pink Panther movies, Peter Sellers. Turns out he was from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I absolutely adored Victor/Victoria. I still make Victor/Victoria jokes, but sadly most people don't get the reference any more. I still remember the sparkling gown Victoria (as Victor playing Victoria - whatever) wore.

I even liked Micki and Maude.
