Watch the Trailer for Pacific Rim Mockbuster… Wait For It… Atlantic Rim [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:10 pm, May 17th, 2013

Oh, The Asylum. Your blatant ripoffs of studio blockbusters warm my heart. Not that I’d watch them—this Pacific Rim ripoff looks Syfy-made-for-TV-level bad—but it amuses me to know that I live in a world where they exist.

Movie-Loving Thieves Are Stealing A Particular The Wolverine Poster in Droves. Guess Which One.

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:18 pm, April 25th, 2013

My first thought upon reading the headline “Fox Will Have to Replace 50% of Their Outdoor Campaign for The Wolverine Due to Theft” was “Waaaaitaminute. The Wolverine posters have been horror shows. They’re A Clockwork Orange torture-level bad. Are people stealing them to burn them, thus destroying their evil magic and ensuring that badly Photoshopped ninjas and a shirtless Hugh Jackman, face a rictus of primal anguish and claws coming out from between his fingers, don’t crawl forth like Samara from The Ring and carry out a campaign of terror against poor, innocent moviegoers?”

Then I remembered that one Wolverine poster that’s actually really awesome, and it all made sense. They may be thieves, but they’re thieves with good taste.

Guillermo del Toro Responds To Perceived Michael Bay Insult With Glorious Snark

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:11 am, April 19th, 2013

Arbiter of cinematic quality Michael Bay, during a CinemaCon presentation for his upcoming film Pain & Gain, took Hollywood to task for the “rip-off” robot movies that have been made since Bay’s Transformers. Now, we don’t know whether that was intended as a dig at Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim, which had a CinemaCon presentation the following day. But based on del Toro’s statement to The Hollywood Reporter, he sure took it as one.

Any day where someone takes Bay down a peg is a good day. Click the cut and revel in the snark.

“I’ll Be Back” Indeed: Terminator 5 Hires Writers, Is Actually Happening

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:00 am, January 18th, 2013

Yesterday we found out that Warner Bros. is trying to remake Gremlins, and now comes the news that writers have been hired for a fifth Terminator movie. Everything’s coming up ’80s this week. If some chucklehead announces that Gore Verbinski’s now-defunct (thank God) Clue remake is back on, I’m going to seriously consider jumping off a building.

Michael Bay Pitches a Fit at Hugo Weaving Calling His Transformers Role “Meaningless”

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:15 pm, October 18th, 2012

Uh-oh, Hugo Weaving. You made Michael Bay angry. And you won’t like him when he’s angry. A few days back Weaving made some critical-but-honest remarks about voicing Megatron in Bay’s Transformers, saying “I didn’t care about it, I didn’t think about it… I don’t regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it’s meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don’t mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things.”

Well, Michael Bay didn’t like that. Not one bit.

When we first heard an all-female Expendables type film was in the works, Michelle Rodriguez was one actress a lot of you said was a must-have. Rodriguez disagrees. She says she doesn’t have enough action film experience under her belt yet to which we say, “ORLY?”

David Cronenberg Insults Christopher Nolan, Comic Books, And Superhero Movie Fans

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:43 pm, August 16th, 2012

David Cronenberg loves doing dark, scary films but when it comes to what he prefers to watch, the director hates one thing with a passion – superhero movies. He recently spoke out against his distaste for comic books and the films that follow (which is ironic), name dropped Christopher Nolan, and insulted those of us who like all of the above at the same time. Way to go, Cronenberg.
