Good things come to those who get disemboweled onscreen

August 25, 2006 /

Here’s a show that will give the MTV Movie Awards a run for its money: The Chainsaw Awards, a joint production between Fuse and Fangoria, airing on Fuse Sunday, October 22nd.

Sounds like a joke, right? But one quick look at the categories and nominees, and it’s clear these people have done their homework. Okay, some of the music video categories are a joke – anything that threatens to hand any award that’s not a Razzie to She Wants Revenge is a joke – but I’ll definitely tune in for Best Death Scene (which, for my money, is a tossup between “Snakes on a Plane” and “Saw II”) and Bloodiest Beatdown. Get your freak on, kids.

To vote for your favorites, go to fuse.tv between September 1st and (oh, geez) Friday, October 13th.

“Idiocracy” not completely dead in the water

August 25, 2006 /

Though, of course, it might as well be.

According to the Austin Chronicle (via Ain’t It Cool News), “The good news is that Austin fans will finally get to see Mike Judge’s futuristic comedy, ‘Idiocracy,’ on the big screen. The bad news is that people in most other areas of the country likely won’t. ‘Idiocracy’ opens in limited – and very quiet, judging by the lack of a trailer and short notice – release on Sept. 1 in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and Toronto.”

I admit, it’s possible this could just be another “Run Ronnie Run” (a.k.a. the “Mr. Show” movie), where excitement runs high but turns out to be woefully misplaced. But given all the positive script reviews I’ve seen, I just have to believe it’s more likely a case where a studio just doesn’t know how to promote the film, so they’re just dumping it and leaving it for dead.

Does no-one remember how “Office Space” flopped in theaters before freaking exploding on home video…? Man, I hope this backfires in the studio’s face BIG TIME.

“Hairspray” cast adds more cowbell

August 24, 2006 /

Overweight dreamer Edna Turnblad has found a husband. Hoofer extraordinaire Christopher Walken has been added to the cast of the movie remake of the Broadway musical “Hairspray,” and will appear opposite equally avid rug-cutter John Travolta as Travolta’s, er, husband Wilbur. Yes, for those not familiar with the franchise, Travolta will be appearing in drag.

Hmmm…the guy from Spike Jonze’s outstanding “Weapon of Choice” video singing and, more importantly, dancing alongside disco king Tony Manero, aka Jack Rabbit Slim’s dance contest winner Vincent Vega, aka Rydell High dance-off winner Danny Zuko?

Damn: I might actually have to go see this movie after all. And I was so not excited about Travolta taking over the role that Harvey Fierstein was born to play.

Times have changed.

Box Office Roundup: Snakes on a motherfucking Netflix queue

August 20, 2006 /

Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:

1) Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby: $14.1 million ($114.7 million, third week)
Un, fucking, believable. That’s all we’ve got. How people still went to this movie in its third week when the Greatest Movie Ever Made is two theaters down is beyond us.
2) Snakes on a Plane: $13.9 million ($15.3 million, first week)
Absolutely unacceptable. How does the Greatest Movie Ever Made only make $15 fucking million on opening weekend? Motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane, people!
3) World Trade Center: $10.8 million ($45 million, second week)
Still bothered by the “Snakes on a Plane” numbers to bother making a joke about this.
4) Accepted: $10.1 million (first week)
Justin Long, John Cusack. John Cusack, Justin Long. I think you’ll find that you have a lot in common.
5) Step Up: $9.9 million ($39.4 million, second week)
Whither, “The Illusionist”?
