I hope this new film for Proyas brings him back to the stage again. Cage worries me though. He’s been bombing in some stupid crap for a while now. But I really liked Garage Days even though only 3 people saw it. And both The Crow and Dark City are great films.
I, Robot we just won’t talk about :)
Why does [REC] 2’s poster looks like a dripping orifice?

How can I love Alex Proyas so much , yet hate his I,Robot with so much passion. It’s things like this that contribute to my insomnia.
Knowing sounds like a cool concept, but is their room in that concept for Proyas to return to the visual style that was devoured by the studio production of I, Robot?
btw - Is it too soon for an I, Robot reboot? I know. I’m bitter.
What is with the lousy poster for the Spirit? Who stole Frank Miller? I want him back.

That Midnight Meat train picture doesn’t look right to me, the women seems to be pasted onto there and there is a real person underneath in the picture.

I have some choke beads and a Chuck Palahniuk autographed stuffed dog (altho I wanted one of the blow-up dolls!!). I saw him in Austin last week for his snuff book tour. He is extremely funny; I laughed just as much, if not more, than when I saw Kevin Smith.

Avril Lavigne is such a douche-bag. Please kill yourself already, you dumb worthless useless poser wh0re. Why anybody would cast her in a movie is way beyond me.

American Movie is one of the greatest documentaries made! Anyone who loves film should see it.

I don’t know Pete, I think the Disaster Movie poster is great. The movie won’t be.
And I’m one of the few that actually took something positive from I, Robot. Too flat, but a great ending.

This Page 2 has so many sexual undertones, what the hell.
