That's Hollywood!
There’s a time-honored tradition in the porn biz of using a smutty, suggestive spin on a legit feature film name for a skin flick. For instance: “Hannah Does Her Sisters”. It’s something they do in the San Fernando Valley and they do it well.
So what do they do with this one

Care for a Swim?
*
Shelley Winters has shuffled off this mortal coil, mere months before she would have been all over the media with her 2 cents about the Poseidon Adventure remake. She was a hotty in the 60s but packed on the pounds by the time she swam to her death in the P. Adv. In her excrutiating talkshow appearances in the 70s, she was grating and oblivious that she was a has-been.

The straight dude’s guide to ‘Brokeback’
Could someone please create a video mashup of "The Duke" monologuing this? Maybe with a little Fred Astaire thrown in? Please?
AFTER INNOCENCE tells the dramatic and compelling story of the exonerated - innocent men wrongfully imprisoned for decades and then released after DNA evidence proved their innocence. The film focuses on the gripping story of seven men and their emotional journey back into society and efforts to rebuild their lives. Included are a police officer, an army sergeant and a young father sent to prison and even death row for decades for crimes they did not commit.
Interesting that it doesn't appear to be playing in Illinois anywhere; a state where the death penalty was suspended because so many cases were being overturned with new evidence.

Brilliant in execution, a little disturbing that someone out there is that familiar with Don Knotts' catalog.

Damn straight! They're breeding like rats these days. My only beef is do you really have to destroy the moon of Endor to get rid of them? Have they tried glue traps?

Here's a preview of the animation used to tell character backgrounds in Quentin Tarantino's new opus Kill Bill. It's illustrated by the same studio that created Ghost in the Shell.

This movie is playing in any parking lot that will have it. I need to find a venue for it here in Chicago . . . any suggestions?
Andrew, please add a category for Bigfoot.
Better still . . . he's an elderly Elvis who, with the help of a black JFK, battles an evil mummy. If you see one movie this year, see this one 12 times. Starts Oct.17 at Landmark Century.

I haven't been paying much attention to this summer's movie faire, but then I came across this trailer this afternoon, and I am eager with anticipation. Take the idiot's version of drama, professional sports, combine with the idiot's version of dance, kung-fu, throw in some bad dubbing and you have pure movie magic: Shaolin Soccer.

Cinemorgue: The ultimate spoiler site...
I came across this article on unhappy fans recutting their favorite movies, to meet their own expectations, when the director wimps out.
Case in point: Speilberg's version of AI vs. Kubrick's, and Lucas' version of The Phantom Menace
Ephemeral films are educational, industrial, advertising, and amateur films and home movies genres that film historians and archives have largely ignored, despite their profound influence on the minds of spectators. They provide unparalleled evidence of the visual appearance and ambiance of their time, and function as rich, evocative, and often entertaining documentation of the American past.
The full list is fairly intimidating. For a good laugh, go straight for any instructional (behavioral, gender roles, etc.) film produced by Coronet Instructional Films. They are priceless. Mac users may be SOL unless you're on a really fast connection. The AVIs won't play without a divx codec, and even then the audio is choppy.

Can't wait to see this...not sure why this isn't a straight to DVD release...but it apparently will contain everything that couldn't be shown on tv. So, it's GOT to be good.
Do not read if you're the type of person to get all bent out of shape about spoilers.
Let me preface this with the following:
I liked Attack of the Clones. It entertained me. Was it good? No. Would I watch it again? Yes, but I'd fast forward to where Anakin starts killing things.
Having said that...
Portman seems to have mixed up "acting" and "looking up from under lowered eyelids" in her mind.
Hah!
It is unfortunate that Lucas somehow thinks that casting unknowns in major roles and knowns in minor ones (WTF was Jimmy Smits doing in this film???) equals "Box-Office Magic." I think he got lucky, or maybe it was just that people weren't looking as closely at Episodes 4-6.
Hayden Christensen blows huge chunks in this movie, but only a little less so than the tripe he's required to speak. I kept waiting for him to break into a temper tantrum, spinning around on the floor yelling, " want to be a Jedi Master! Stupid Obi Wan!"
On the bright side, I think Lucas got lucky getting Ewan McGregor to play Obi Wan. He manages to take a least some of the crap dialog and make it somewhat palatable.
The battle sequence at the end is worth the price of admission alone. If you don't want to waste your time, just go about an hour or so late. You won't miss anything.
Oh, and go read the Tomato Nation review. It's classic.

I spent the morning laughing at this site. Someone's taken their interest in the Joan Crawford and Bette Davis just a little too far.
- The author answers letters from the lovelorn in the style of the famously bitchy Joan and Bette: "If a man in a bar spills his drink, run over slap him on the head and shout "I'm mad at the dirt, not you.""
- There's a selection of remarkably unflattering headshots you can send to your friends
- Ad of course there's a quote section
Bette: "My mother always said that it was polite to say something good about the dead. Joan Crawford: She's dead. Good."
Aaaaahhhh... More fun than Jack Lemmon's funeral!

Sylvester Stallone discusses the reversal of fortune, which took him from an action star to barely being able to get a meeting with a studio executive.
(After all those returns to the Rambo and Rocky cash-cows, fickle audiences have thrown him over for more nuanced films like Rollerball.)
"I've taken my ideas for a Rocky 6 to MGM and they made it quite clear that there would be no cash until I can prove myself once again with a hit movie," He also admitted to wanting to revive the Rambo series.
He remains philosophical, however. "It's important not to be bitter about it. Blazing guns and fantasy heroics hold little allure for me now,"
(...except y'know, for both the projects he mentioned.)
At least one journalist is going off about what Harry Potter mania really means:
"America, your kids have become major dweebs. It's as if the entire nation poured itself a glass of milk and went down to the basement to play Dungeons & Dragons. Where are the kids who are supposed to be beating up the kids who like Harry Potter?"

I have absolutely no interest in seeing the movie in English now. In other Robot Bastard! news, the full length movie is being screened for free in Milwaukee tomorrow night.
BTW - wasn't the site built with Flash the first time it was blogged?

Francis Ford Coppola has recut this classic piece of cinema and added almost an hour of new footage. Given that it almost killed him (and some of the cast) the first time around, I'm not sure why he's chosen to mess with it, but you can bet I'm going to rush out and see it.

The movie is out now and the feedback I am getting makes it seem that there are continuity issues as well as believability issues. Halle Berry is almost naked I hear which has upset some members of our audience. It has also made other members of our audience happy. I didnt even get a free ticket from the WB.!
If you guys at the AOL WB change your mind my daughter wants a record contract she aspires to be a disposable popstar! - perhaps I can trade this website to make her dream come true.
This site compares the price of your whole DVD order across 7 or 8 sites (with shipping). A five title order I am making cost $66 instead of $93. Pretty damn useful.

Well, finally, a reason to buy that GPS Springboard
The Ad Wizards for Planet of the Apes are running a "Global Ape Scavenger Operation" using GPS and the web to hype the flick.
Of course, if you're not fortunate enough to already own a GPS unit, 20th Century Fox is more than happy to suggest the Garmin eTrex, which I'm sure is the official GPS unit for any self-respecting Planet of the Apes junkie.

Porn releases for the first week of April
Dale Dabone wants to make one thing perfectly clear: he is not Seymore Butts.
Dabone has the title role in Sunshine Films' recent release, Seymore Butts and the Girls Who Gobble the Goo, which, pursuant to litigation, does not feature Adam Glasser, who, to gonzo fans worldwide, is the Seymore Butts.
But Dabone says he has no desire to ever make another "Seymore Butts" tape.
"I did only that one tape," Dabone tells AVN. com. "I just want to make clear that I'm not the guy [Seymore Butts]. I'm Dale Dabone. I'm not Seymore Butts or Ben Dover or Ed Powers or any of those other guys. "
When recently contacted by AVN, Sunshine Films refused to comment about the matter other than to say it will not be releasing any more Seymore Butts movies.
Looking ahead, Dabone says he - like countless other adult stars - wants to break into the mainstream.
"Last March, I was featured in a photo shoot in GQ magazine, and then I was in a big article in Bizarre magazine," he recounts. "This April, my issue of Playgirl will be coming out where I'm on the rear cover. I did an eight-page spread.
"I just did six huge films for Vivid. These are things that I'm proud of and that's what I want out there. I want to be the guy who breaks the stereotype that if you make adult movies, you can't do mainstream. I really want to be the guy who takes that step. "
I'm Not Seymore Butts! SAY IT WITH ME!!!!!
