The Happening one-sheet gets Pants’ed.

my new plaid pants has a simply spectacular little piece of fun with the new one-sheet released for M. Night Shyamalan’s movie The Happening. Hilarious! For my part, I’m just wondering when the typeface used for Shyamalan’s name will finally grow larger than the movie title. In related Happening news, one of my fave screenwriting blogs Mystery Man on Film recently ran an excellently-written review of Shyamalan’s script. MM is not kind to it, but it’s a terrific read.

11.20.2008Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)

11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)

11.14.2008I’m not sure how to say it nicely: This one-sheet is crap.(additional thoughts about Apatow/Sandler’s collaboration here) (3)

10.23.2008What an excellent tribute to the late great movie voiceover guy Don LaFontaine. No need for more words, because the Voice already says it all:See more funny videos at Funny or Die (5)
