Because I’ll be DAMNED if you’ll hear your Jurassic Park news from somebody other than me.
I am definitely OK with this development — that movie didn’t suck! — though I would’ve been happier if the headline was “Universal Sets Chris Conroy For Jurassic Park 4.”
Also, cast James Franco in this one too plz, because regardless of our feelings on Franco, I think we all want to see him play an over-eager paleontology grad student who seems to be the romantic lead but gets devoured in Act II.
Damn, that’s kind of exciting. And is an excellent excuse to re-read the book.
Wow, and speaking of adolescent fantasies, here’s one of my favorite Nine Inch Nails songs (“We’re In This Together”) soundtracking the Avengers trailer. We’re two for two today, high-school Chris! IT GETS BETTER!
How I love the specific syntax of Netflix’s genre groupings. I have been watching the hell out of this category lately.
Guys, the good news is, they really are making Jurassic Park 4 now. The bad news is, they didn’t buy my script treatment. I know. I’m sorry, too. We all know how much the world needed to see my version of this movie.
Red-band trailer for Drive. Shit, this looks like a blast. Ryan Gosling pulpy-ass LA crime thriller with insane car chases? Sign me up. Utterly ridiculous cast, too: Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Albert Brooks…
Sometimes the world exceeds your expectations.
Fright Night trailer.
First thought: wow, this is a surprisingly faithful remake. Second thought: that might not be that bad. Third thought: Movies from 1985 are being remade. I’M NOT EVEN THIRTY AND I’M SOOOOO OLD.
Well, this is pretty much the best. Also, it’s about as close as we’re ever going to get to a third season of Party Down.
Ticket purchased. Have been utterly fascinated by caves lately, for some weird (probably Freudian) reason, and the New Yorker article that Kottke linked to, about the caves filmed for this movie, totally sealed the deal.
Did we like it? (I rank it a couple steps above Scream 3 but still comfortably below Scream 2.) Et toi?
