Wow, fifty posts. I would be proud if anybody read this, but now it stands as one of the many monuments of my lowly stature in society, an insomnia-ridden cinephile blogger. I still quite enjoy the blog, so let's just dive right in. Mike Judge's latest film
Extract premieres on Friday, and in honor of the occasion, Judge has released a new clip from the upcoming flick to the Interwebs, with an introduction courtesy of the characters that made Judge a household name for slacker, perverted children that enjoyed Metallica and AC/DC, Beavis and Butt-head. The clip makes the movie actually look funny, but watch it mainly to have an excuse to pull out your
Beavis and Butt-head DVDs.
So, who's ready for today's dose of 3-D overkill? First,
AICN reports that
Iron Man 2 could possibly be 3-D next summer. Harry Knowles tells us that there is currently a one minute snippet of film that Marvel and Fox are looking over to decide if they want to turn the entire thing into 3-D. (Note: if you choose to click the link, Knowles uses the frightening analogy of Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger's
9 1/2 Weeks sex scene to describe this entire ordeal). The article also ends with the factoid that the original
Iron Man film could possibly be up for a 3-D transfer to be re-released before the sequel. Don't get me wrong, Iron Man in flight, Scarlett Johansson and the
cockatoo that was casted to keep Rourke company all have wonderful possibilities when put into the 3-D medium, but if we keep this up, (I'm talking to you Jon Favreau) there will eventually be weird films in the third dimension, like a new modernization of
The Three Musketeers by somebody a few steps below Uwe Boll... like say Paul W.S. Anderson.
Damnit... via
The Hollywood Reporter, that is exactly what will happen. I'm not saying it can't succeed, as
The Three Musketeers is a tried and true formula, and if the adaptation is mindless, at least it could be swashbuckling fun. But does everything have to be in 3-D for Christ's sake? I just hope that
Avatar is ground-breaking, and we don't look back years from now and take the academic stance that
My Bloody Valentine was the big game changer in this new age of 3-D.
DreadCentral has some stills up from a new horror flick called
Human Centipede: First Sequence, which looks terrible. However, the pics are to a level of disturbing that requires checking out.

TheSuperficial, Megan Fox is the cover girl for the latest edition of
Wonderland magazine, and among other topics discussed, compared her two-time collaborator,
Transformers director Michael Bay to Adolph Hitler. Not trying to shine a forgiving light on Hitler or anything, but I'm pretty sure the Fuhrer could have made a better film... just saying. Oh, and he wouldn't even consider making a
Bad Boys 3, even he would have known that is just too much.
Cinematical linked to the best guessing game on the web, based on entertainment characters in movies, television, comics and videogames (at least that I've attempted so far). The site,
Akinator, has guessed almost everything I've thought of correctly, except things I've pulled out of my hat so far into my childhood subconscious that I couldn't remember enough about it to properly answer the questions.
Finally, a pretty awesome featurette from
The Fantastic Mr. Fox, narrated by Jason Schwartzman. Unfortunately it won't embed, but
here is the link, via Apple. Enjoy.
I've been slacking on blogging again due to school *sigh*. I know, I know, I need to get my priorities straight. Anyhow, to be quite brief tonight, in honor of Wes Anderson's new film The Fantastic Mr. Fox debuting this past weekend, although nowhere remotely close to my home theater, I thought I would take a look at Anderson's beautiful short film Hotel Chevalier.
