Movie Theaters Begin Slapfight With Studios over New Flicks On-Demand

Remember that impossibly-bad sounding idea of renting a movie on-demand for $30? (But only if it’s not too successful!) Well it’s not bad enough to fly under the radar of theater owners, infuriated by the thought of lost profits. https://gizmodo.com/the-age-of-30-movie-rentals-is-upon-us-5787819 We’re still not really sure who would go for this $30 ripoff, other than members…

The latent erotic tension in the film Predator

Predator is probably the most unflinchingly macho film in existence, but does the blockbuster’s chain guns and shoulder cannons and cigar smoking hide a much more nuanced tale of sexual awakening? Here’s a cheeky psychoanalysis of everyone’s favorite Yautja thriller. The writer of this piece was inspired in part by J.G. Ballard’s 1968 psychosexual assessment…

Cloverfield director is adapting the original paranoid “aliens among us” short story

Let Me In and Cloverfield director Matt Reeves is adapting Ray Nelson’s short story 8 O’Clock in the Morning for film, read it now! The story, about a man who wakes up one day realizing that aliens are secretly controlling everything, was the original inspiration behind They Live. And this presumably means Cloverfield 2 is…

Should Sinbad really go to space?

Many of us grew up gorging on the Ray Harryhausen Sinbad series, which started in the 1950s with The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. There were fighting skeletons, a stop-motion cyclops, and more. But should the franchise really get an update? The 1977 flick Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger is that last anybody has…

Say Hello to the Cheap Movie Extras

I’ve often wondered how small-budget movies can hire so many extras or afford special effects—but know I know their secret. Meet the Inflatable Crowd, a range of hireable dolls that have been used in movies like The King’s Speech and The Fighter. It’s not just small films which have taken advantage of these faceless dolls,…

Who’s playing the big bad in Zack Snyder’s Superman flick? (Spoilers)

Zack Snyder has finally cast the villain for his upcoming Man of Steel. Is it Toyman? Metallo? Doomsday? Atomic Skull? Composite Superman? The Galactic Golem? Sadly, none of the above — Revolutionary Road and Boardwalk Empire actor Michael Shannon will portray the evil Kryptonian General Zod (and I had a sawbuck riding on the Composite…

Hollywood User Interface Fakery at Its Finest

Most of the time the computer interfaces we see in Hollywood flicks are all sorts of ridiculous. They mix glam with hints of what we might expect in the future. Sometimes that’s Minority Report (real, see MIT), sometimes it’s this: Access Main Computer File. Which is a Tumblr collection of the never-realized in the real…

Why Hop is the unofficial sequel to X-Men 3

Hop has the veneer of a subpar kids’ flick, but it’s actually a stealth sequel to the total clusterfuck that was X-Men: The Last Stand. This secularized-Easter-cum-talking-creature feature tells the lost history of Cyclops, who supposedly died offscreen in X3. I didn’t have high expectations for Hop. In fact, the only reason I went is…

In which our critic grapples with the subtleties of “Jason X”

In Pop Punishment, Louis Peitzman endures the most derided genre films, television, and literature, all for your sadistic pleasure. How do you make Jason Voorhees interesting again? You don’t. Maybe that’s unfair, but as far as slashers go, I’ve never found Jason as compelling as the rest. Freddy Krueger has his quips; Michael Myers has…
