About a week ago, the Starpulse News Blog ran an interview with writer/director Frank Darabont about his one-episode stint directing the intense and pivotal “Chasing Ghosts” episode of the always-spectacular FX show The Shield.
Pieces like these tend to be de rigueur whenever a film director is found “slumming” on the set of a TV show, [...]

The Shield is back tonight.
It was more than a year ago when the show ended its fifth season with a heartbreaking finale that saw Lem - The Shield’s true moral center, voice of reason and most guilty conscience - murdered at the hands of Shane. Tonight we get to see the fallout of Lem’s death, [...]

Contrary to the belief of exactly no one who asked, Burbanked has not gone away, been placed on hiatus or put into turnaround. I have been a busy little fellow lately, and unfortunately my duties around here get back-burnered whenever that happens. In this past week of lazy non-blogging, however, several items that I’d mentioned [...]

Lurking as I occasionally do in the message board backwaters (you know, the ones that don’t hate me), I do find exciting little tidbits of news sometimes.
Yesterday, courtesy of eagle-eyed shieldforum.com poster JayB, we got news that The Shield, in a promotional agreement with Anheuser-Busch, will be offering Web-exclusive content in the form of [...]

Ah, the holidays - when the movie culture fondly turns its attention to year-end lists, award grabbery and the shameless retail huckstering of DVD reissues. It’s enough to make any cynical heart start vibrantly beating again with enough Christmas cheer to make old Ebenezer himself plotz right over into his yorkshire pudding.
But really, it’s important [...]

This aired a few nights ago during the season finale of Nip/Tuck and some infinitely more technically adapt fellow than I has uploaded it to YouTube.
It’s brief, it doesn’t show much, it’s a “teaser” in every sense of the word - but dang, if it isn’t creepy as hell, too! Take a look:
Of course [...]

Hearing what we’re about to tell you may just shake your entire belief system to its core, but we feel that you’re mature and responsible enough to handle it, so here it goes:
Some things in Hollywood are not real. They’re, you know, fake.
Okay. Still with us? We apologize for throwing the harsh, bitter water of [...]
The newest and snarkiest
11.20.2008
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)
