I bet yinz thought I forgot about Batman. Noooo nonononono.... I kill the bus driver. Oh, wait - that's not it.... No, I just didn't want to gloat. Yet. It's unseemly, and I'm a better sport than that. Besides, I wanted to ensure that I wa...

Last weekend, when I was in Pittsburgh, Vrabel and I got to talking about movies. That's no surprise; we always do. One of the films that came up was Rescue Dawn, the Werner Herzog picture about Dieter Dengler - a German-born Navy pilot who esca...

what the holy hell?

The punchline here is that this.... whatever this is.... is better than the latest Superman movie and the latest Spiderman movie put together. Meanwhile, The Dark Knight continues to garner rave reviews and generally capture the collective imagi...

I surrender. Yeah, I know I promised to stay on top of all the latest developments leading up to the theatrical release of "The Dark Knight" on July 18, 2008, but I just can't keep up any more. The next Batman movie is destined to be the greates...

Look, it's time we came to an understanding. Yinz all know by now that the greatest motion picture ever made by a human being is set to drop this summer. So to make a long story short, every time Chris Nolan so much as sneezes between now and Ju...

why so serious?

You know, I should be in pictures. Not on camera, mind you - that's my own personal version of Hell - but in marketing. Lots of people will tell you that the movies have gotten dumber, but I don't think that's so. There have always been terribl...

the super-fabulous spider-man

nobody@vox.com(hotrod) — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:42:57 -0500

Oh, this is special. Remember "Across the Universe"? Of course you don't. It's the worst movie of all time which came and went from the theaters this fall. (I know it's the worst most of all time because nobody proved otherwise, despite the in...
