Hey, You’re Getting High School Musical In My Twilight

Lucifer may be brewing up the perfect storm of teeth-rotting pop sweetness, by combining High School Musical with the tween-scream sensation cast of Twilight. Too bad that mash-up has already been poorly done. According to MTV, Vanessa Hudgens tried out her pipes for the Twilight sequel New Moon. Rumor has it that she might have…

Take A Peek Inside James Cameron’s Avatar

What do the set pics from James Cameron’s ten-years-in-the-making alien spectacular film Avatar tell us? Possible spoilers ahead.

A Japanese social satire of the country’s love-hate relationship with America, The World Sinks Except Japan is about what happens when earthquakes suck every land mass under the ocean. Except Japan. One immediate result is that everybody has to immigrate to Japan. So the country has to throw its doors wide to a multicultural crowd…

Possible “Benjamin Button” Snub Proves Oscars Hate Science Fiction

Variety reports that the Oscars are considering passing over Brad Pitt’s performance in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button for a Best Actor nod, because his acting was enhanced by special effects. Especially in the early scenes where he’s an old-man infant, some critics say he’s more of an animated Gollum-esque figure than an actual…

Commercials Worth Their Culty Cred And Stanislaw Lem’s 1 Gets A Trailer

Sometimes, we have to stop and applaud the truly innovative directors whose work only shows up for a few brief seconds crammed on the TV. Vesa Manninen’s collection is worth stopping to see the commercials. Commercials have become such a depressing mix of skinny people bounding around to catchy music that it’s been months since…

Who Created Dark Knight’s Joker?

It was the movie of last year, and at the center of The Dark Knight was Heath Ledger’s compelling Joker. But… who really invented the worryingly sane Clown Prince of Crime? Maybe not Chris Nolan. Author F. Paul Wilson had a chance to see The Dark Knight recently, and found Ledger’s Joker rather… familiar: Yeah,…

When Does Historical Revisionism Become Alternate History?

I hadn’t realized how many quasi-revisionist works about the Nazis and the Holocaust had come out recently until I read this Times article. It’s almost like a stealth Man In The High Castle. Except that in this alternate history, the Nazis don’t win — they get softened. They become not quite so bad. There’s the…

Are These Really Glimpses Of Ghostbusters 3?

A new blog has appeared online, showing images and video that some think is from the set of Ghostbusters 3, complete with what could be proton packs and giant monsters. So why are we suspicious?

An Underground Volcano Symbolizes Our Hobbesian Doom

I kind of love this sequence from 1951’s The Unknown World, where a scientist decides to die by underground volcano, because the human race will just self-destruct anyway. It’s nakedly political, and dementedly awesome.
