According to a new press release, “Warner Bros. Entertainment to Release its High-Definition DVD Titles Exclusively in the Blu-Ray Disc Format Beginning Later This Year“. Rats. Well, it’s like I’ve said from the get-go – I have a HD-DVD player, I will have a Blu-Ray player, and until my HD-DVD player dies and it’s impossible […]
I’m sitting here watching the extras on the 2-disc deluxe edition of Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, which are even better than I’d expected. The featurettes are really and truly fantastic; one is all about the mythology behind the films, one is about del Toro’s color and symbolism, and another is about the special effects […]
There’s a brilliant essay by Mahohla Dargis in today’s New York Times called Defending Goliath: Hollywood and the Art of the Blockbuster. It’s brilliantly written, includes dashes of insight (such as contamination anxiety being a core motivation behind many film purists’ snobberies) and has a poetic twist to it that feels reminiscent of a really […]
The full trailer for Pixar’s new film has gone live over at Apple.com, and it looks fantastic. Like I said before, this is going to be a great summer for movies…

At first glance, it looks like it has a long, long way to go before it could topple YouTube, but it does have some fun stuff on there, including The Muppet Matrix, a spoof trailer rendered with the Muppets instead of Keanu […]
Good grief. Courtesy of my research manager Joshua Green, Die-Cast is After Effects abuse at its best. 1980s playground flashback, totally.

Today is shaping up to be a Very Bad Day and I’ve only been up for about an hour and a half. WTF. I wake up to take my morning jog around ‘teh Internets’ and discover that they’ve canned Joss Whedon from Wonder Woman. This sucks. Hard. It also gives support to my current feeling […]
