    Aww, my sister would love that Snow White laptop.

    And I always wondered what kind of drink would Slusho be if it were real. I was thinking maybe Boba Slush?
  • This_is_Why
    I'm glad to know about T:RotF tix being on sale early I'll know when to go down and grab some for IMAX show
  • gah
    "Travis Barker, tweeted that he is working on a song with Busta Rhymes for the Transformers Soundtrack"

    This is shaping up to be the worst soundtrack in the history of cinema.
  • That pony looks eerily similar to Uma Thurman. Also, that Macbook is amazing.

    No one needs to actually say that film is a tough business to break into, everyone knows it can be soul-crushingly so. If someone needs to purchase a critic's quote in hopes of getting somewhere in the business, anywhere at all, I think the last thing that person needs is someone calling him pathetic on widely read blog concerning the subject. I don't know, that really bothered me.
  • gah
    or instead that person could come to the realization thay maybe when your paying for critic quotes maybe you're not cut out for the business after all. I know it's tough but sometimes you just gotta let it go and move on.

  • James Bond really defeated Jones and Batman for best Hero. Hell Yoda is cooler then James Bond. Those Movies Suck. (New Ones)
  • Green Day???
    Really???
  • freemachine
    Nancy Drew beat out Batman? WTF!?!? On another note, that photo of Pam Grier as Foxy Brown is mindblowing...damn!
  • This has to be one of the best Page 2's I've seen in quite some time. It has some Slusho mixed with some H2 cameos along with a Pony with the likeness of The Bride, I couldn't ask for anything more from a Page 2.
  • That Craigslist posting asking for a pull quote was fantastic. While laughable, let's be honest, that is what most every studio PR rep wants. Single positive lines of quotable text rather than a lengthy and often lukewarm review. Unless you're EW, then it's nearly always a rave.
  • walkens twitter was fake??
    Great page 2, peter. You've broken the record for most useful info.
    gotta love that my little pony.

    We need more color on Cobain. We need to expose the role c.love had in his death. last days is a great film.
  • bananashakes
    yeah batman's placement is odd. he should be in the top 10 with spidey and supes. indiana jones forevaaaahh
  • Peter, 'Page 2' f*cking rocks. And thank you sincerely for posting the Kill Bill My Little Pony instead of the obvious and much more predictable Star Wars figurines.
  • the Craigslist ad is, indeed, pathetic.
  • he still has a very large popular fan base, though.
  • that Snow White macbook is pretty cool, rather innovative.

    The Macbook rocks. And the similarities between Let The Right One In and Where The Wild Things Are is pretty crazy in the TrailerSmash vid.
  • Palmer
    The My Little Pony figure...less disturbing than the Princess Leia version I have to say. And Weird Al having a cameo in the new Halloween movie, that's weird. But I'm interested on what it is.

    A musical adaptation of American Idiot, surely it's a joke!
  • I also would like to know what the cameo role is. I like Zombie's movies because he loves to put cameos in everywhere.
  • Presto117
    nope. and it's not some half assed community theater production. it was co-written by Billie Joe Armstrong (sing/guitarist for GD) and i forgot who co-wrote and choreographed it, but the director is Michael Mayer, who directed the broadway hit "Spring Awakening", which won 7 tony awards. Spring Awakening is one of, if not the BEST musical i've ever seen, and it was a beautiful show about teenagers discovering their sexuality in 1890's germany, and judging by spring awakening, the director has the right feel to take on the show and SA's music were all rock. Hell, the band was on the stage, too lol. This show's been approved by a band that doesn't fuck around and is being directed by a tony award winner, i think it has a shot at being good.
  • Fringe is awesome. I love it. Why did they take it off the air for 2 months? John Noble ...I have a major crush.

    and, also,"Rat Press." haaaahahaha
  • For American Idol
