Toy Story 3 is coming this summer. Also this summer: my long road to maturity takes several steps backwards. »

Ok, clearly my kids I need to get a bit more creative with my Lego-play, because I never would have conjured up anything close to this level of wonderawesomeness:(image via Sad Old Biker on Flickr; found on the awesome Distracted by Star Wars)
Of course, there are eighteen dozen movies coming out this summer, and some [...]

A Beginner’s Guide to Comparative Movie Trailers: Killers Vs. Knight and Day »

GREAT news, fans of wacky secret agent rom-com movies: Hollywood plans to slake your greedy lust for action comedies in the summer of 2010 with not just one, but TWO not-at-all derivative, high-concept, would-be blockbusters. Take a look:

Jason Reitman shows us the joys, trials and steak plates of a movie junket tour. »

I haven’t seen Up In the Air yet – and I’m starting to feel fairly desperate to do so – but I saw this video the other day at roughly 8900 websites and wanted to include it here.

Sam Mendes is trying to wear me down. »

Miserably obvious movie marketing: the Ghosts of Girlfriends Past trailer. »

Blogging’s been in the backseat lately, because life has taken a turn for the hectic and my priorities have had to shift a bit for the immediate future.
But still. When I come across such a pathetically predictable and awful trailer such as that for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner, it’s [...]
