    Furthering efforts to provide a regular stream of useless "clues," the 1-18-08 site has been updated to play a Godzilla-esque roar if you wait for six minutes, or you can just play it in the clip above. With all the hype building for what this creature is, there are going to be... / Continue →

    Though not formally announced as a competition, Dark Horse Indie will soon be competing head-to-head against the Icelandic Film Center for the most literal idiotic movie title. From Dark Horse comes War Monkeys, which is not meant as a political commentary about government and ... / Continue →
