Sorry. I actually have a life and don't care even that much, something that apparently doesn't apply to you. You do know you're on Gawker, right?

Wasn't this just remade 2 years ago as a TV movie? Is this going to be an annual event?

Verna Fields can save it.

What's the explanation for "ass men"?

I have the Close Encounters theme, disco version.

Bird would be a great choice, pretty much for anything, but looking at that list, it seems to be made up of either a) directors with a history with Warners, or b) automatons who will do anything the studio tells them and bring the thing in on time and budget. If the latter is Warners main criteria, I don't have much…

But even DelToro had a ton of problems on "Mimic". He just happened to be talented enough to still pull out a good movie and continue on (though I would argue his english language movies aren't nearly as good as his other ones). Peter Weird is a good example of someone who managed the Hollywood waters. Of course, the…

I believe Padilha told Mereilles that. Hollywood is full of stories of foreign directors coming here to make their big splash and just getting eaten by the machine. I worked with a director who was riding high off a foreign film when he came to L.A. and he never knew what hit him. This was over 10 years ago and I…

that's the weird thing about Cronenberg: a lot of the movies even his fans end up disliking - "M. Butterfly" and "Dangerous Method" come to mind - I end up loving, and some of his movies with the most ardent followings - "Existenz" and "Naked Lunch" - I end up merely, admiring, as in I don't have much passion to see…

I'm seeing Cosmopolis this weekend. Guess I'm in the Cronenberg completist camp. Then again, if tepid reviews kept me from one of his movies, I would've stayed away from "Crash", "Existenz", and "A Dangerous Method", all terrific movies.

Yeah, I thought "Crash" was a pretty great movie. No story, but almost like using characters as a lab experiment. Unfortunately, everytime I talk about it, people think I'm talking about that sanctimonious piece of award bait garbage that came out a few years ago.

On the bright side, he won't be asked to host the ESPYS again.

The classic example would be "Psycho", which went from being a "woman on the run from the law" movie to an entirely different serial killer movie with a different lead character. Of course, in that case, it was masterfully done.

Spielberg apparently loved the IMAX conversion of "Raiders", so I'm hoping he picks that format.

all it needs is a little fritz the cat

Cronenberg's one of the few directors I really put my trust in and he's rarely let me down (I even really liked "A Dangerous Method"), but I agree that his movies have gotten really talky and he seems to be lost in his own intellectualism to the point where he's not the visual provocateur or storyteller he once was.…

I actually thought "Brave" was terrific, and a definite comeback of sorts for Pixar after "Cars 2".As for the box office, isn't around the mid $200's pretty much what a Pixar movie does, as in "Ratatouille", "Up", and "Wall E".

You're assuming Mitt made this choice, and it wasn't made for him.

I hope somebody does the Galactus-Silver Surfer storyline again. That FF2 treatment was pathetic, an example of what happens when you hire people who seemingly have never read a comic book in their lives and don't care to.

If you mean it seems familiar to "Dark Knight Rises", then, yes, Nolan took a lot of aspects of issue 1 for the movie, especially in the first half.
