If the Minutemen, the '40s superhero squad of Watchmen, had existed, there probably would have been a mid-1980s Double Dragon-style game based on the characters. Right? At least that's the thinking behind the latest piece of Watchmen viral marketing, which allows you to play a ... / Continue →

There are less than two years left before the end of the decade, and we still haven't made every comic book into a movie yet. It's going to be really tough to hit our deadline, but we've got everyone doing overtime on this one, so I'm hopeful. And we've got an update on the Jon... / Continue →

If it were like the '40s and I was enlisting as a Nazi, I would hope, before signing the final paper, someone would show me this video just to get me the fair warning: "Look, being a Nazi, yes, you get the glory of fighting for our führer, and of course there are all the beauti... / Continue →

TFW2005 has some leaked shots of Devastator and "The Fallen" from the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toy line. Devastator's face is PURE ENERGY! I think, at least. Who can tell with these things? I'm only confident that his arm is a crane, which I'm hoping he uses to do mo... / Continue →

At the premiere of Friday the 13th, Collider managed to get Michael Bay to speak at some length about Transformers 2. Between awkward, joking rants about owning the website and pretending to punch people a few times, he revealed: - He's shot three scenes in IMAX--just like Dar... / Continue →

45365, besides being a string of numbers you'll never remember, is the zip code for the small town of Sidney, Ohio. Director Bill Ross went there for nine months and shot a documentary, giving those of us without demolition derbies, swimming pigs, or a living 29-inch woman (eve... / Continue →

What the eff is that attached shed on the house's west wall? That's so like Hollywood remakes, unnecessarily updating the classics, completely ignoring my "use the exact same last house on the left as in the original Last House on the Left or I'll never see it" petition. The L... / Continue →

Thanks to Andrew for sending in this red-band trailer for the Seth Rogen-as-a-security-guard dark comedy Observe and Report. It looks really good. Paul Blart coming out before this is like if Taxi Driver was released a few months after Queen Latifah's Taxi. I especially like t... / Continue →
