Does it turn out that the big secret is that all the people on the moon of Scandinavian descent turn out to be actually Germans who built a secret moonbase on the dark side that is run by Udo Kier?

"Paramount is making another sequel to The Ring that hopefully won’t kill everyone who sees it"

Thread here for any recommendations of any decent Japanese movies (horror or not)? I'll start:

I'm still hoping they use the starting premise of Audition where the film director is holding auditions as a cover for finding someone he likes willing to marry him and they turn it into a romantic comedy where nothing bad happens to anyone.

Oh boy, The Grudge. I just posted a long history of The Ring films and books elsewhere which is really hideously complicated but this series is quite complicated too. It is worth chasing up at least some of the Japanese originals though because they're very good and very scary. You may well know all of this but for…

I've actually read most of the books in the series and seen most of the earlier films in the series (both Japanese and American) and suffice to say, the ending is right out of left field. The history of the series in film and TV is even more crazy. I think it goes something like this:

Did you read this? The show creator of Awkward actually participated in the comments section for this Newswire (and apparently the last half of Season 3's comment sections as well).

I recognised that name believe it or not, I haven't had the pleasure of making it to South Australia yet.

The mere act of doing nothing more than removing that final scene and just ending with Karma and her awesome mother would have improved things no end. They'd already had their major emotional moment for the episode which was also what the whole season was building to. Also, they would have kept that supportive…

Orphan Black (1st) and MTV's Faking It (2nd). This is primarily because they were the only two shows I watched this year. The reason being I've really gone off TV in general from many years back. It's possible I just got bored with the medium itself.

Some variants on population control (though in these cases intentional) for anyone interested include Logan's Run. The book is a textbook model of lean efficiency and would be perfect as a movie script almost unaltered, though the idea of 6 billion being critical mass for the world's population would seem positively…

Like I said, it's Queensland. They've come a long way since then (well at least until the current state government) but they've always done things differently there. I can't say that the rest of us have ever completely understood them to be honest.

Well thank you, I have been trying to be making more of my posts actually useful and educational in some way. I also seem to be on a bit of a minor roll lately with some compliments on my post on the merits of Oblivion recently. You're right, it is a fascinating subject about the difference between countries, I do…

Have you seen the film Detention directed by Joseph Kahn? I think it has one of the most misleading trailers I've ever seen (though I actually thought it was a good thing after seeing the movie). I personally loved it but at the same time, I could understand why other people could hate it and not just because Dane…

This movie was refused classification (and hence could not be released) in Australia for a very long time. Our equivalent to the MPAA is actually a federal organisation known as the Office of Film and Literature Classification with the ratings enforced by law. Also unlike the MPAA, all members are publicly known and…

The Hollywood Reporter says he was given a raise to $620,000 an episode for Season 11. There were 22 episodes in that season. I'd be leaning away from least lucky myself.

Well, I haven't seen Pretty in Pink yet, so I should get onto that but I hear it's OK. Also, Morgan Stewart's Coming Home wasn't horrible I guess. I can say his Outer Limits episode was very good though.

Margaret Pomeranz along with David Stratton are a veritable institution here. If anything, it may have been the reverse as it's speculated that after someone explained to him who they were, that's the reason why his blog post about the whole incident suddenly disappeared.

That's hilarious. We were just talking about David and Margaret in the "I killed At the Movies" thread, funnily enough, their show has been called "At the Movies" since 2005. I did some digging and found these:

I'm definitely not saying this was the way to go here (primarily because I haven't seen it) but where Scream 4 was concerned since it was brought up here (spoilers for the film below) …
