Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell: that was a fun one, yeah? So, seeing that nothing is really going on today, let's remember what a fun one that was with this really good would-be poster from Fiona Staples. Coincidentally, she also did the art for The Secret History of The Authority... / Continue →

Remember the Invention of Lying trailer on Friday? Good, because I'd hate having to explain the premise again, and there's now a domestic trailer for the comedy. I particularly like Louis CK's reaction to Gervais's claim that he's an Eskimo. I thought I was the only one to eve... / Continue →
