I have long considered myself one of the worlds biggest Apple fans, so I have been biting my tongue for as long as I could about Leopard. But this week was the last straw. I'm sure there are even more fervent fans like me who will say, "well, you shouldn't have done that." I've seen them on the message boards, but when it comes right down to…

 

After a string of box office flops, news came today that New Line will be merged into its parent company, Time-Warner. New Line started its life turning "Reefer Madness" into a cult hit on college campuses in the 1960's, made hits of John Waters' movies in the 1970's and brought us the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series in the 1980's, where it finally found its success ... In recent years…

 

(via AICN) I love audience camera footage of trailers from conventions. When you're watching a new, exciting trailer in a regular movie theatre after the jaded audience has already maybe seen it on the internet, you just don't get that thrill you get with a fan audience ... I have to agree with Moriarty at AICN when he says that it was more of a thrill for him to see…

 

Call it the excitement of youth or puberty or whatever, but I remember actually feeling an electricity in the air the year "Star Wars" was released. Like a lot of young fans I just couldn't get enough of the movie, having seen it probably 20 times in 1977 alone. It was the must-see movie for my generation, like "The Exorcist" was for the generation previous ... Fast-forward to January…

 

Ben Chapman, best known for his role as my all-time famous monster, "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" died earlier today in Hawaii. Chapman played the Gillman in the on-land sequences in this classic film (Ricou Browning performing the underwater sequences). His creature has become a visual icon for movie horror, and was the only one of the core Universal Monsters to be created outside if the 1930's…

 

(via AICN) Here's a cause worth fighting for; I have been watching, out of the corner of my eye, for the last while, the goings-on surrounding the indie film, "Fanboys". The film last screened (as a rough cut) in 2007 at Star Wars Celebration Europe where it was received enthusiastically by the - uh - well, fanboys. Anyway, enter The Weinstein Company, who have been delaying the…

 

A six alarm fire destroyed half a block of Queen Street this morning at Queen and Portland. Among the casualties was the historic Duke's Cycle and Suspect Video's first, main store, among other buildings which had recently been declared a heritage conservation district ... According to CityTV, it took 150 firefighters in 30 trucks more than 8 hours to contain the blaze. The weather (it was -16º C…

 

So, apparently tomorrow night, the U.S. is going to shoot down a rogue, dead satellite over Hawaii that's expected to rain debris over Western-Northern Canada. First, isn't all of this vaguely reminiscent of Wim Wenders' "Until the End of the World"? I think so ... Secondly, I was just sitting here, reading a very good article on Wired News about the whole thing and made the terrible mistake…

 

'Nuff said. Link to (Toshiba) press release. Update: CNet reports that Universal is switching too. Link

 

I've uploaded a handful of pics from a feature film I'm currently working on called (mysteriously) "ef" to the front section of this website ... The film is right now only in the development stage, but Joanne Reay has already pecked out an absolutely brilliant and massive script (the first draft of which clocked in at around 300 pages!). If all goes well in the coming days and weeks…
