Right now, I should probably be doing something other than blogging. I counted up of my next 72 hours, I have roughly 13 to sleep, study and blog, so I'm probably making the wrong choice right now, but I'm bored, can't sleep and cannot seem to will myself to study. Regardless, it will be a quick one. First, here is the new poster for Lars von Trier's Antichrist, which is shockingly the least disturbing thus far. You can check out IMPAwards to see the others.

BlackFilm has put Sharlto Copley's name up for the rumor mill considerations of the role of Howling Mad Murdock in the big screen adaptation of The A-Team. Earlier this week it was announced that former UFC fighter Quintin "Rampage" Jackson was joining the cast to play the role Mr. T made famous, B.A. Baracus. At least Copley, who is relatively new to American audiences after a pretty great performance in District 9 would set this thing back to potentially watchable.

I also read somewhere that Edgar Wright did an interview yesterday, that I can't find a link for, debunking the rumor of Pixar holding interest in his script of Ant Man. He does however confirm that he is still actively pursuing the project in live action style, as a second draft of the screenplay is being worked on at the moment and had taken a back seat to production of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. He also states that he wouldn't mind working with Pixar, which will surely be the source for a few rumors in the future.

Finally, Cinematical has a very disturbing post on the release of This Isn't Twilight: The XXX Parody, the inevitable porn movie based on the popular vampire romance flick Twilight. The movie stars Jenna Haze, which is probably a big deal in the porn world because the link provided in the article states Haze was the winner of the AVN Award. Trying to squash the idea of this outselling movies like Big Fan becomes more tragic when you realize Jenni Miller's article states that sadly enough, it isn't the first, as a less popular movie, Twilight of Virginity, was released a few months ago.

I was looking about the John Waters Fan Page on MySpace a minute ago after they added new pictures, and ran across this gem, and decided that there is no possible way I could actually get on here and talk about movies without sharing it with whomever happens upon this page.

Now, on to some of the tidbits I've uncovered today. First off, the most mind boggling thing, MovieWeb posted that Chris Casamassa, better known to the public as Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, has stated that he will return to the role of the hell-spawned ninja revenant in a third film for the franchise. I have to admit, that as horrible of a film as the first one was, I hold it as a guilty pleasure. But, even after admitting that, I've yet to see the 1997 sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and will be happy one day when I die without doing so. I seriously wonder if anybody will read this and be excited.

TheSuperficial reports that Michael Bay had Megan Fox wash his car to gain her breakthrough role in Transformers, and actually filmed it. This isn't quite news yet, but I've been calling Transformers the most exploitative film since Boss Nigger (a blaxploitation film, I've dubbed Transformers a cashploitation film for the constant effects with no substance), and if it comes to fruition that Bay actually played out the whole casting couch porn scenario, how much easier would it be for me to assert my classification up there.

Cinematical has an interesting article, taken from the New York Times, reporting that the pornographic film industry is losing plot and dialogue, and focusing on adding more sex scenes. So, porn used to have a plot?

Finally, District 9 released the full international trailer today. Up until now, the spots for the Peter Jackson produced film haven't gave us much insight to the story or the feel of the film. This trailer doesn't really make us understand anything more clearly, but does make it a slightly higher priority on the must-see list. Enjoy.



P.S.... Work sucks, and because some jack ass injured himself, I have to fill in for the late shift, and I may be going on a little spontaneous trip tomorrow night, so the next few days I may not be able to post. If not, I'll try to find something special to post for the weekend.
