Halloween III Season of the Witch has never got its due. Too many fans bitch about there being no Michael Myers in the flick, but the original intent of the series was not to have him as the manin focus, anyway. So the third installment came out as it was intended and…well, OK it wasn’t that good, but it’s bad hilarious. The following is the best scene from the movie, but unfortunately it cuts before the dad gets bitten by the snake. Damn it all.
Year: 2006 (Page 33 of 228)
Reality TV cannot hold a candle to reality in any way. For proof, look no further than this video made by some dude back in 1984 and sent to Stanley Kubrick. It’s an audition tape for Full Metal Jacket. How this guy never became a star is one of history’s greatest tragedies.
“Borat” star Sacha Baron Cohen has been eagerly trying to keep his next project under wraps, but when a five-studio bidding war is taking place, it’s kind of hard to keep the secret for very long.
That’s right, folks, Cohen will be bringing Bruno – his third and final “Da Ali G Show” character – to the big screen (Ali G was the first character to make it to the big screen, but the film never came out in theaters in the US). A gay fashionista who mostly intereviews people in the entertainment and fashion world, as well as extreme conservatives and religious figures, Bruno should offer plenty of room for the same shock comedy strategy that “Borat” employed so well.
Universal Pictures is currently winning the bidding war at $42 million, but The Hollywood Reporter is stating that Sony, DreamWorks, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. are still very much interested in the project. Here’s hoping that Fox wins out in the end. I mean, they have already done a great job with Borat…
Despite having racked up several million views of his movie clips on YouTube, snagged the cover of Entertainment Weekly, and received priceless publicity from the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, Borat apparently doesn’t have enough visibility in the U.S. to open a movie in wide release during the weekend of November 3.
Citing a recent poll indicating that just 27% of moviegoers are familiar with the fictional journalist portrayed by comedian Sascha Baron Cohen, Twentieth Century Fox has reduced the number of screens on which “Borat” will open by 60%:
“Our research showed it was soft in awareness,” Bruce Snyder, Fox’s distribution chief, told the Times. In turn, Borat will start off in 800 theaters Nov. 3 and then expand to 2,200 the following weekend, after interest in the movie is piqued and audiences have gotten Borat’s opening-weekend competition—Disney’s The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and DreamWork’s Flushed Away—out of their system.
That’s the plan, anyway — but is it a wise one? Does Fox honestly believe that the unique individuals who found the first two “Santa Clause” movies hilarious enough to warrant a third installment are really the same people who are going to go see “Borat”? And are they not the least bit worried about cutting the legs out from under their cult-classic-in-the-making before it even gets rolling?
Given the buzz that has been building behind this picture to date, execs over on the Fox lot may be worried about ending up with a “Snakes on a Plane”-level disappointment on their hands…but they shouldn’t be. The key difference is that no one really expected “SOAP” to be a high-quality movie, while reviews for “Borat” have generally been very positive.
Okay, so maybe 73% of moviegoers don’t know who Borat is yet…but does Fox really expect to fix that by reducing their opportunity to get to know him?
…three alumni from “Mystery Science Theater 3000” – Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy (“Tom Servo”), and Bill Corbett (“Crow T. Robot”) – have rejoined forces as The Film Crew. They’ve been entrusted with a very important mission, and one that’s decidedly familiar to them: “providing commentary tracks for every movie that doesn’t have one.” As with “MST3k,” the movies in question will be pretty darned terrible, and they’ll be begin to be released through the fine folks at Shout! Factory in April 2007…but, at the moment, they’re still trying to decide which film will be first.
Head over to their site to vote for one of the following (and to see a video introduction from Murphy):
Giant of Marathon (1959, starring Steve Reeves)
Hollywood After Dark (1968, starring Rue McClanahan of “The Golden Girls”)
Killers from Space (1954, starring Peter Graves)
The Wild Women of Wongo (1958)
Gosh, they all sound so darned bad…but hearing that Rue McClahanan plays a stripper in “Hollywood AFter Dark” just might turn the tide in its favor.
