Quentin Tarantino Confirms That His Tenth Movie Will Be His Last Because Cinema Is Dead!

April 2, 2023 / Posted by:

It’s finally happened. Acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino has had enough of filming violence, heady dialogue, and women’s bare feet for the big screen. It was rumored that his Tarantino’s 10th film will be his last, and he’s confirmed it in a France Inter radio interview. Pour one out for film bros and foot fetishists everywhere.

Tom Hardy And Channing Tatum Will Star In A Movie About The Afghanistan Evacuation

November 10, 2021 / Posted by:

Three months ago the Taliban took control of Kabul. U.S. forces withdrew from Afghanistan and there was a massive, panicked evacuation. As the rest of the world looked on in horror, Hollywood bigwig George Nolfi pointed at his TV and said, “There! That’s a movie!”  He took this “original pitch” to Universal Pictures, and today Deadline is reporting that they officially bought it. Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy are attached to star. So far the project is untitled, but might I suggest “Too Soon”?

A New Amy Winehouse Biopic Was Just Announced, But Mitch Winehouse Says It’ll Never Happen

September 1, 2021 / Posted by:

It’s been just over ten years since Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning at age 27. A fact that makes me feel equal parts old and sad. Earlier this week Halycon Studios announced that they’re working on a biopic about Amy, based on Daphne Barak’s 2010 book Saving Amy. Daphne spent six months filming and interviewing Amy in the last three years of her life. Daphne amassed over forty hours of footage, which she used to write her book. But after Halycon and Daphne made their biopic plans public, Amy’s dad, Mitch Winehouse, called up TMZ (he still has them on speed dial!) and told them there’s no way it’ll ever get made cuz it’s “100% not allowed.” Mitch says that Amy’s estate (he’s the administrator) has plans for their own biopic and they own all the rights. All of them! And they’re gonna be the ones to squeeze every penny outta honor Amy’s legacy!

Universal Apologized To Laverne Cox For Dubbing Her With A Male Voice Actor In The Italian Version Of “Promising Young Woman”

May 13, 2021 / Posted by:

When Universal Pictures International dubbed the Italian version of the film Promising Young Women, they fucked up big time and chose a male voice actor, Roberto Pedicini, to dub Laverne Cox. This was discovered a week ago, when Universal Pictures Italy posted a clip of Una Donna Promettente and Laverne’s character spoke in a “distinctly masculine tone.” Trans activists and people on social media were rightfully outraged, and soon the clip was taken down.

Universal apologized, announced that Laverne’s voice will be redubbed with a female voice actor, and the Italian version’s theatrical release has been pushed back (it was supposed to come out today). Good! This isn’t Bob’s Burgers, this is an Oscar-winning film starring a trans woman. In the words of Stephanie Tanner, “How rude!”

“Paddington 2” Replaced “Citizen Kane” As The Top Movie On Rotten Tomatoes

April 28, 2021 / Posted by:

Even if you haven’t seen Orson Welles’ epic Citizen Kane, you’ve probably heard about how great it is; a staggering cinematic achievement, it changed film as we know it, Rosebud was the sled, blah blah blah! Well, Citizen Kane’s rep as the “greatest film ever made” has finally come to a screeching halt after eighty years. An old review from The Chicago Tribune by Mae Tinee has been unearthed, and guess what? Mae didn’t think Citizen Kane was all that great. This means it plummets to an embarrassing 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. And which film has replaced it as the top-rated film on the site? Paddington 2. Does this mean film students of the future will get to watch Paddington 2 instead of Citizen Kane? Lucky bastards…

Open Post: Hosted By Kate Winslet And Saoirse Ronan As Lovers In The New Trailer For “Ammonite”

August 25, 2020 / Posted by:

That headline woulda been a helluva lot more interesting if it cut off after the word “lovers”. Alas, Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan’s forbidden, brooding lesbian romance is just for the movie Ammonite.

Apparently “ammonite” isn’t a synonym for “Oscar bait”. It’s actually the name of prehistoric sea animals that resembled squids in shells. The film was inspired by the life of 19th-century paleontologist Mary Anning and her relationship with geologist Charlotte Murchison. Mary discovered and sold fossils on the Southern English coastline. It’s said she inspired the tongue twister “she sells seashells by the sea shore.”
