Terminator: TSCC Recap: To the Lighthouse

Monday, March 30 by

With the deaths of loved ones behind them, the Connor crew split up.  Sarah and John take refuge with an old friend, while Derek and Cameron take a moment away from each other’s throats and point their guns in the same direction.   Del Monte Sarah packs some bags and thinks back to when John was a child.  His favorite stories were his mother’s jungle stories, particularly the tale of El Viejo Del Monte: Old Man of the Forest.  Del Monte was a hunter condemned to the jungle for all eternity.  As his story goes he would kill every animal he encountered but not to feed on their meat, or warm himself with their furs.  Instead, he would leave his prey to rot.  His lust for blood was his mark, and each carcass he left behind was a lesson to those who crosses it explaining what God had turned Del Monte into: half man, half animal.  Some considered him a protector for he preyed upon predators.  It was his curse to be vigilant forever.  

GEMMA ARTERTON IS A DEMI-GODDESS… AND OTHER NEWS

Monday, March 30 by

 Empire Magazine recently revealed that Bond girl Gemma Arterton will be starring as the demi-goddess Io in Louis Leterrier's remake of Clash of the Titans.  According to Arterton in a follow-up interview, “The script is very different [from the Harry Hamlin original]. Obviously the story is the story, but it’s much more about Perseus’ mission, and how he deals with being the son of Zeus, and things like that, so it feels a little more about him, and about the issues around that.”  Hrmm.  I just want to see more pics of Gemma.  That's why I posted some after the jump.  In the meantime, here's some more morning news!Monsters vs. Aliens demolishes some box office competition, then abducts and anally probes the rest (CINEMATICAL)Bruno Slammed with NC-17 Rating (THE PLAYLIST)Creepy pic from Halloween 2 surfaces… (DREAD CENTRAL)Fox sets summer TV slate.  Yay.  More dancing… (VARIETY)Extended Star Trek TV spot airs (LATINO REVIEW)GI Joe and Terminator Salvation Video Game Footage unveiled (/FILM)New Sherlock Holmes Poster Will Smoke You (PAJIBA)

EMMA STONE IS “EASY”

Sunday, March 29 by

According to Variety, Emma Stone of Superbad and (less so) House Bunny fame is looking to get a little naughty in her next role. The comedy entitled "Easy A" is a modern, high school-set retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter." Stone will play a student who sees her life paralleling Hawthorne's heroine Hester Prynne after she pretends to be the school slut in hopes she'll benefit from the notion she's promiscuous.  I've never known anyone who hasn't benefited from loose sexual morals, especially in high school, but something tells me this movie is going to stress the counter-point. I guess I can't really blame the studio execs for choosing the high-ground, even though  a herpes epidemic would be one hell of a marketing campaign. Now that's exposure money can't buy! (Rimshot!)     Check out some photos of Emma after the jump.

NEW CLIPS FROM PIXAR’S “UP” WILL ENDEAR THE CRAP OUT OF YOU

Sunday, March 29 by

Saw the 3-D trailer for this play in front of Monsters vs. Aliens this weekend.  Even without the 3-D, Up looks multi-dimensional.  See, that's what I'd be saying if I were brainstorming in a marketing meeting.  But since I'm sitting at home in my boxers typing this, I'm just going to say that I can't wait for Up in the same way I can't wait to take a shower.  And I reek of last night's indiscretions.  You don't have to wait until I shower to watch the ALL NEW CLIPS of Up. After the jump!

Saturday, March 28 by

In a conversation with MTV about his upcoming Year One, writer-director Harold Ramis let loose some ectoplasmic bites of information on what we can expect from the new Ghostbusters movie.  According to Ramis:"[Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and all the other core members from the original] are going to be in it in different kinds of roles," Ramis said. "We're going to be the sage mentors. There are going to be young Ghostbusters."No announcements as to who those apprentices will be, but MTV surmised that with Judd Apatow producing, young comic stars like Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd could take part. 

SPIDER-MAN: THE COMIC BOOK OF THE MUSICAL

Friday, March 27 by

Julie Taymor, the director of the $40 million Spider-Man Broadway show, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark is keeping mum about the production, but is telling the press to not call it a musical, and to instead refer to it as "a circus rock n' roll drama.  Whatever.  It has music and lyrics by U2, is being directed by the same person behind Broadway's The Lion King, and is being shown in a Broadway theater.  It's a musical.  But the big question remains.  WHO WILL PLAY SPIDER-MAN?  click to enlarge comic page.

Padma Lakshmi Has Dry Sex With Hardee’s Cheesburger

Friday, March 27 by admin

Padma Lakshmi, she of TV's Top Chef and Salman Rusdie-marrying fame, has apparently become the spokesmodel for Hardee's Bacon Western Thickburger, which is going to make a lot of men happy and a lot of normal women hate themselves more than they already do.  In her new commercial, Padma sits on the stoop of an NYC brownstone and proceeds to eat the beefy burger in ways that would make a a devout Hindu eunuch sport wood. See the full commercial – and more pics of Padma – after the jump.  And if you're a normal woman hating yourself right now, don't feel too bad.  I'm sure Padma had her seven personal trainers with spit buckets standing just off-camera for the entire shoot.
