If R2D2 was a PC… [abstrusegoose]

ScriptShadow reviews the screenplay for Noah Baumbach’s Greenberg: “Greenberg  is a slow, depressing, sometimes cruel, frustrating, cynical and awkward look at a relationship that never stood a chance from the word ‘go.’” … “The toughest thing about a Noah Baumbach piece, is that he writes from a place of such deep hatred for the world, of its conventions, its standards, its idiosyncrasies, that unless you harbor that exact same outlook, the script feels more like a blunt object repeatedly smashing against your head, than an eye-opening observational piece that reaffirms your beliefs. If Baumbach could balance this hatred out with some more humor, I feel like he could really broaden his audience.”

Legion

Hollywood.com gas some new stills from Legion.

Ryan Reynolds told MTV that a highlight of 2009 for him was seeing the prototypes of the Green Lantern costumes: “It was a moment when I was like, ‘This is happening, and it’s happening in the right way.’ That’s a pretty cool, definitive moment for me.”

I’ve known about “Green Lantern” my whole life, but I’ve never really followed it before. I fell in love with the character when I met with [director] Martin Campbell. When I sat down with him, I really got what it is that this guy is all about. When you have a guy like Martin Campbell, part of his charm is that he has ba–s of titanium, and the other part is that he’s slightly crazy, and you have to be to take on something with the scope of “Green Lantern.” He’s less of the director and more of a general. He just really knows strategies, he knows the intricacies, and his attention to detail! It’s infectious. I sat down with him, and I could not even believe what he was saying. When I went to the meeting, I was entirely cynical. I thought, “What the hell, I’ll see what they have to say,” and I left the room with a completely different perspective.

  • "Paranormal Activity will hit DVD/Blu-ray on December 29th."
    Goddamn it only opens here December 3. I've already seen it. One way to slow piracy world wide might be to tighten those release dates...
  • mangoshakes
    i can't wait to see the green lantern costume.
  • jimmy
    That was a Deadpool/Smurfs/Watchmen crossover :)
  • Money_Talks
    Captain: Agreed. Thanks for the ticket again BTW.
    Re: Twilight..Edward is still an EMO poof. Let the wrong one in indeed....
  • DrLickies
    Just out of curiosity, why on earth do you know that? I'm vaguely aware that there is a character named Edward in this series aimed at young girls.
  • Money_Talks
    Well unlike most of the guys on here, I actually have a wife, have talked to females more than once and have a keen eye on what's happening in pop culture. To truly be able to criticize a movie/book/tv show/fad, I am of the opinion that you have to have had observed what you claim to disdain.
  • presto117
    agreed. i actually read the book (my female friends would not stop pressuring me to read it), and now that i've read it, i can formulate proper opinions and list basic facts as to why the characters are terrible and why the story's terrible. and the girls still don't listen. *sigh*
  • cmac8219
    I think what I like most here is how quickly it turned from attacking twilight, to assaulting each other with personal attacks. TWILIGHT IS TEARING US APART!!!!!
  • Maybe that's what it wanted all along?
  • I need to catch up on Big Love.

    I meant in the sense that "balls" was written as "ba-s".. ridiculous.

    Paranormal activity on Blu-Ray... Is it worth it?
  • Nokoo
    In the same sense that Blaire Witch is 'worth' it.
  • This is why Blu-ray will not survive. It's too upper-class.
  • OMG REDNECKS FTW!
  • eddymovies
    Man these Twilight jokes are soooo new and original.

    That abstrusegoose comic is a complete lift of xkcd's style. Man, how can someone be okay with ripping another artist's style off and running with it, claiming it their own?
