Joe Dante reportedly loathed Space Jam's total cluelessness of the characters (and wrote Lola Bunny out of BIA with an in-joke), said that he wanted to make LT:BiA the "anti-Space Jam", and...in a way it is sort of the diametric polar counterpart of SJ, but not in a good way: There's the clueless fa...

What I wonder is why DWA doesn't make TV shows not related to it's characters. With Netflix at their disposal, they could easily get a show with new characters out to the public. Heck, they could get really nifty and try and do a more adult skewing miniseries of sorts (think of the storytelling for...

Good, since IMDb still has it slated for July/August, but we've seen nothing but one concept poster and one SDCC teaser that's nobody's actually seen online. (The Michael Douglas one, not the Wright test footage from the last two or three years.) And some dispute about whether Pym's "late wife" will...

I do, I don't (1475p), and it's tempting, but I'll hold out for 2.0, with the Marvel characters.
(I'm not into "Build your own" games, which is why Minecraft holds no curiosity for me.)

What was the rule change that happened in '03? The Weinsteins were determined to get a repeat of that 1997 year when they had four of the five Picture nominees--and believed the Oscar was "theirs" with Shakespeare in Love and Life is Beautiful the next two years--and their annual blitzes to shove a...

The Critics' Circle awards are still under the old 90s' myth that the Oscars reward the commercial mainstream-studio films, and strike back by making a great show over the critical/arthouse favorites that they think will be "overlooked". They really don't have to bother, the Oscars have been cribbin...

Except that in the GG's case, nobody really knows WHO the members are-- We know that the Academy consists of working film professionals, but uncovering the secret of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been like asking the Knights Templar for the Velveeta formula...Maybe we'll never get an a...

Haven't seen Book of Life yet, but the buzz seems to indicate that it's the weakest of those five films. Big Hero 6 , The Boxtrolls , and How to Train Your Dragon 2 all had their appeal, but I wouldn't even put in them in the same league as The Lego Movie . There's only one truly Oscar-worthy film ...

How do you know this for sure? Has she ever said anything explicit to this end? Her comments in the interview drop a few loud pennies about the above-mentioned "Married princess" urban-legend/stereotype. Oh, and thanks for the Pinkava information. Where did you hear about that? Can't recall whether...

And Chapman was going to be less heavy-handed/feministic? From the final product, and backstage dramas, got the impression it was the other way around. You might be right - the information that I have is nothing more than a rumor after all. But what I heard is that Merida's big speech about not pic...

Heard of, no, but looks like Disney's first collaboration with Henson, in '89-'90 (back when HA was still using puppets and not CGI) Seems like a pilot that was later turned down in favor of the Mermaid animated series, but the idea of a Henson collaboration was saved for the puppet stage show at th...

If Lord and Miller aren't available, Sony should get Ralph Bakshi to direct. Is the guy still alive ?? :shock: (Last time anyone heard from him, he was animating sexy Sorayama robots on HBO, and that was in the 90's ...) But they want to do a "humorous" take on Spidey-- And as one who already can't...

"Unfocused", I'll believe, but that's the first time I've ever heard Brave's story described as "too complicated". :? (And Chapman was going to be less heavy-handed/feministic? From the final product, and backstage dramas, got the impression it was the other way around.) I love fairy tales, but I am...

As an aside, I just watched Rise of the Guardians and have to say, I'm shocked by the negativity that surrounds the film. It might actually be my favorite film by any of the Big 3 (Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks) since Tangled. Go figure. Guardians isn't a hated DWA film like Turbo; it's one of the bett...

To Be or Not To Be - gotta love Nazi/war comedies; Duck Soup and The Great Dictator are other favourites Even Jack Benny, who kidded himself on his radio show about his "movie career" (The Horn Blows at Midnight is on Instant Warner Archive, for those curious, and yeah, it's bad) considered this hi...
