Aw, I thought they still had all those famous people cast for this one. Sean Penn would have made a great Larry.

ON THE ROAD.  I wouldn't say I'm excited, but I am looking forward to finally seeing a big screen version.  I mean, I've only been waiting 20 years.  And Viggo Mortensen as the William S. Burroughs?  That will probably either make or break the movie for me.

Looking forward to: "The Avengers" albeit with some trepidation. From what I gather it looks like there's a lot of stuff going on in it which could easily be to the movie's detriment...

NOT looking forward to: The next Batman movie. Sorry, folks, I thought "The Dark Knight Returns" was overly long and eventually started to bore the shit out of me. At one point I looked at my watch (never a good sign in a movie) and realized I still had another forty five minutes to endure and seriously considered whether I should just leave... I would have liked it much more had they cut out the Two-Face subplot, which would have trimmed the movie to probably around two hours...

Also, it looks like the new Batman has multiple villains. This is almost always a bad sign. The only time it ever worked was on the "Batman" tv show where you had The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman (the Julie Newmar version) and The Riddler (The superior Frank Gorshin Riddler, not the inferior John Astin version)....

It didn't work that well there either--have you tried to watch any of those shows recently?

Honestly, no. I haven't watched the old "Batman" tv show in ages. I would imagine it's quite stupid. But the show had a campiness the self-serious movies lack so, provided I could re-connect with that, I might be able to tolerate it.

From the shooting location of Spielberg's upcoming Lincoln biopic, here's Daniel Day-Lewis Linc-laxing at a nearby restaurant (http://thefilmstage.com/news/first-look-daniel-day-lewis-as-steven-spielbergs-abraham-lincoln/). The film will obviously cover the little-known period when Lincoln was opening for Pete Seeger.

So I was able to get passes to last night's screening of the prologue to The Dark Knight Rises in an IMAX theater. The prologue is basically just the first 6 or 7 minutes of the movie (think the bank heist in TDK). It's an introduction of Bane and has a really fun stunt. Also, the reports were true, Bane's lines are about 75% indecipherable.

IMAX is a terrible medium for movies.

A quality trailer will feature at least three clips from the movie where a main character says the movie's title out loud. 

That's why Titanic was so successful:

PORTER (to ROSE and CAL): "... sir, ma'am, welcome aboard the Titanic."


JACK: "I'm the King of the World! Here on the bow of the Titanic."

JACK: "Where to, Miss"
ROSE: "To the stars."
ROSE: "... or the main deck of the Titanic, whatever comes first."

I saw God Bless America at the Toronto Film Fest last year and I was disappointed. It's very well made but I didn't find it funny, and the satirical targets are blindingly obvious. But on the other hand it's clearly heartfelt and personal, and I got to see the Bobcat Q&A. He's a cool guy.

I should say that I have a feeling I'm in the minority on this one -- it very well could be Goldthwait's breakout as a director.

Nah, I didn't like it either (despite the cool trailer).  The writing wasn't always up to the task, and many elements seemed dated already.

I enjoyed Bobcat's Windy City Heat though.  It's an elaborate prank on a buffoon for the twisted enjoyment of others ... sort of like William Hung I guess.   :D

It seems like the kind of thing where the satire will only last the first thirty minutes or so, you know what I mean? I can see it just being about the characters as the film goes on, for better or for worse.

The script contains far too much witless Robert ranting via the mouths of the two leads,  but Joel Murray (sadly, there are no Freddy Rumsen-style zipper symphonies) and Tara Lynne Barr are both excellent.  Robert continues to evolve as a visual filmmaker at a shockingly rapid rate.  This bodes well for his adaptation of The Kinks's Schoolboys In Disgrace.

I saw this last night and I agree with this. In the end, I do come down on the side of liking the movie, but several of the monologues/diatribes (most specifically Murray talking to his co-worker and Barr's Alice Cooper thing) seem more like Goldthwait yelling through their mouths than things an actual person would say. I'd be interested to see how I felt about the movie if I didn't pretty much agree with everything he's saying.

Looking Forward To:

Indie Game
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/indiegame/ (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/indiegame/)

Pirhana 3DD
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/weinstein/piranha3dd/ (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/weinstein/piranha3dd/)

A Cat in Paris
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/acatinparis/ (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/acatinparis/)

Paul Williams: I'm Still Alive
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/paulwilliamsstillalive/ (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/paulwilliamsstillalive/)

Possibly this:
Beyond the Black Rainbow
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/beyondtheblackrainbow/ (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/beyondtheblackrainbow/)

NOT looking forward to Argento's "Dracula 3D". "Cellmates" looks terrible, but I haven't even watched the preview, so maybe I'm wrong.

Also NOT: "That's My BOY"

although:
Vanilla Ice as himself
Alan Thicke as TV Version Donny's Dad
James Caan as Father McNally

Might be worth skipping though one day on netflix.

It's certainly visually more interesting than the other two but yeah, underwhelming otherwise. World's Greatest Dad though..

Andrew Dice Clay and Woody Allen ...

For real, I guess. This news comes out on the same day as the new "Comedy Bang Bang" episode, which has Heidecker and Aukermann spinning out a ludicrous "Woody's shooting a movie in China" scenario.

I'm super excited to not see Ted. That movie's getting really good reviews but looks like the worst piece of garbage. "Mom, that teddy bear is making fun of Jews!" I kind of actually want to see it so I have something to make fun of for a few years but the thought of handing any of my money over to the trash who put that together grosses me out. I think I'd rather just burn money.

There's that whole genre of weird mash-up books like Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Sense and Sensibilities and Sea Monsters. My good friend Doogie Horner (who you may remember from being a viral hit a few years back after he was being booed off the stage on America's Got Talent and then heckled the audience and won them over) designed one of the book jackets for one of those books. The publisher he works for published whatever one of those came out first and they took off like crazy. I haven't read them but my wife went through some of the books and said they were fun.  It looks like good campy fun.

If you haven't done so you should check out the Goldthwait interview on Jeff Goldsmith's podcast "The Q & A"...

"There's so much more to love here (on strictly aesthetic terms, Spring Breakers is straight-up astounding, recalling everything from the neon skylines of Miami Vice to the jagged, repetitious editing of The Tree of Life and beyond), and even more to digest further. Even on a more basic level, the film is enormously entertaining, particularly the hilarious, actorly turn by a Riff Raff'd-up James Franco: Stretches of the presumably ad-libbed riffing on his Scarface-inspired kingpin's lifestyle offer some of the most quotable one-liners in recent memory, and a centerpiece montage set to Britney Spears's "Everytime" stands out as easily the best thing Korine's ever done. This is a film that should, in theory, offer principally superficial pleasures, and yet somehow its glossy, appealing aesthetics form only one part of a considerably richer work." -- Calum Marsh, reviewing Spring Breakers (http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2012/09/toronto-international-film-festival-2012-spring-breakers/), the new film from Harmony Korine.

U.S. release date is 3/5/2013.
