See, this is what the blogging mindset does to you: just because my pal Piper tagged me with this Alphabet Meme nearly a week ago - which is roughly four months in blogging years - I feel haunted and vexed and tormented to respond, despite the fact that I’ve been unable to craft an exciting, [...]

Take a look at the top of Burbanked’s right sidebar and you’ll see a nifty new widget-combo. Titled HEY THAT AIN’T RIGHT, it’s a combination of a random movie screengrab with a random movie quote, with potentially hilarious results! Both the pic and the quote should refresh each time you visit the page. Let [...]

Starting on Monday 9.22.08 and running for two weeks, writer and film historian Raymond Benson will be posting a series of his top-10 films of 1968 over at the Britannica Blog.

Pal-O-Burbanked Chris Thilk of Spout sent me a nifty little blog widget that links to his site’s coverage of this year’s Telluride Film Festival. You can see a scrolling list of movie posters below the Featured Article area on my homepage, and as the Spout site adds more content, the movies in the widget will [...]

UPDATE: the problem was actually due to a SiteMeter upgrade, and not my fault! Even better, it’s been resolved. I guess I just always take the guilt on myself. Boo hoo. If you’re reading this in Internet Explorer, you’re some kind of a sorcerer. Because my recent WordPress upgrade has crashed Burbanked when you try [...]

The newest and snarkiest

Dedicated 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)(2)
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)
