ian spiegelman — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:13:00 EDT

As long as the movie studios keep releasing trailers for their giant-budget, crashy, explosion-fests on the weekends, I'll keep posting 'em. This week. it's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. This one's got Jet Li! Much more importantly, it's got Michelle Yeoh.

To promote their upcoming flick Tropic Thunder, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, and Ben Stiller produced this hysterical clip for the MTV Movie Awards. So why am I posting it now? Because I didn't know about it last weekend and because it features Jack Black having his crotch assaulted again and again and again! See for yourself after the jump!

Bill Maher's Religulous

ian spiegelman — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:16:50 EDT

Talk show host, funny cynic, health freak, and kind of a huge prick Bill Maher has a documentary on religious zealots in America coming out called, er, Religulous. I know, he says "No" just to say "No" and his schtick is kind of retarded, but this movie actually looks good to me. And since the trailer just came out, here it is.

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

ian spiegelman — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:29:28 EDT

"From Oscar-wining director Alex Gibney and producer Graydon Carter comes a probing look into the uncanny life of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack, the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson's life-his intense and ill fated relationship with the Hell's Angels, his near-successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, and much more. Narrated by Johnny Depp." Trailer after the jump.

ian spiegelman — Sat, 31 May 2008 12:52:13 EDT

Are you among the legions of adoring Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk fans? I'm neutral on the subject, but I do love me some Anjelica Huston, and Sam Rockwell's pretty cool too. Anyhoo... Here's the just-released trailer for the film adaptation of Palahniuk's novel Choke.

While We're At It: The New Indiana Jones Trailer

ian spiegelman — Sun, 04 May 2008 16:22:32 EDT

Movie studios like me, that's why they release their new trailers on the weekends. Here's the brand spanking new one for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And, unlike the first one, it looks really good!

So here's the new high definition trailer for The Dark Knight. There were a couple of crappy bootleg versions on YouTube for a few hours last week until Warner Bros. pitched a fit. Video after the jump.

It's Alive!

ian spiegelman — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:40:25 EDT

A remake of the 1974 splatter classic It's Alive—in which a cuddly widdle baby eats everyone!—is coming soon. The trailer was just released at Cannes, so now it's on YouTube, so now it's here. Yay!

Teaser Trailer for The Spirit

ian spiegelman — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:04:37 EDT

So New York Comic Con has been going on all weekend and, of course, I couldn't go. So while all my nerd brothers and sisters are getting to see extended trailers for The Dark Night and sneak peaks of an Iron Man/The Incredible Hulk crossover, I'm stuck reading their half-assed reports. The one thing I could get my hands on was that my apartment-bound ass did get to see was this teaser for Sin City director Frank Miller's upcoming The Spirit which just hit the Net. Jump!

Stop Defaming Sam Zell's Trailer Park Company!

Pareene — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:49:13 EDT

Sam Zell, the crazy old man who bought some newspapers recently, is a champion of free speech, which is why he swears so much. So it's odd that he is suing some lady for defamation, right? Especially because the lady is not associated with us, and we have called him all sorts of things! Oh, the lady is Dianne Jacob, who represents the Second District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Sam Zell also owns a trailer park company that has four parks in her district. Recently, they started raising rents. Dianne Jacob said some very mildly defamatory things about them!

Ms. Jacob learned that Zell's Manufacured Home Communities (which is now called "Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc.") has a history of suing cities to make them repeal rent control laws and also they enjoy "running people out of older mobile home parks," just for the kicks. So she said as much, and then they sued her for defamation, and they lost, but now they're appealing, even though their case seems pretty thin.

So now she's writing an editorial about it. She submitted it to the Zell-owned L.A. Times, but they rejected it for some reason!

All we have to say is listen up, old people—you can whine about that 25% rent hike but you're subsidizing quality journalism. If you want to save the newspaper industry and keep that DC bureau open, you're gonna have to suck it up. It's the patriotic thing to do.
