My favorites are Tree Of Life and White People Solve Racism (which is exactly why I didn’t want to see it).
Movie Trailer of the Day: First official teaser trailer for James Bobin’s Jason Segel/Nicholas Stoller-penned Muppet movie, aptly titled The Muppets.
The film, which stars Jason Segel, Chris Cooper, and Rashida Jones, and features songs composed by FotC’s Bret McKenzie, is set to open wide November 23.

Cannes 2011: Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Looper snapped up
Looper, director Rian Johnson’s time-travel action flick starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has been acquired by FilmDistrict for US distribution.
The film sees a future mob send targets back in time so assassins can take them out and leave them buried in the past.
When an assassin (Gordon-Levitt) recognises a target as his future self, the pair must team up to fight other assassins now targeting them.
The third film from Brick and Brothers Bloom director Johnson, Looper also stars Bruce Willis (as future Gordon-Levitt) and Emily Blunt.
When they ask “Why does Hollywood make such shitty movies?” it’s because when they do great ones you don’t fucking show up.

“I think the major problem here is that women were clamoring for ‘strong female characters,’ and male writers misunderstood. They thought the feminists meant [Strong Female] Characters. The feminists meant [Strong Characters], Female.”
I’d like to do a Western. But rather than set it in Texas, have it in slavery times. With that subject that everybody is afraid to deal with. Let’s shine that light on ourselves. You could do a ponderous history lesson of slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad. Or, you could make a movie that would be exciting. Do it as an adventure. A spaghetti Western that takes place during that time. And I would call it ‘A Southern.’
