Crappy big-budget movie director Uwe Boll (House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne) has challenged slightly less crappy big-budget movie director Michael Bay (Transformers, Pearl Harbor, Armageddon) to a fight! No, not some sort of drunken back-alley brawl, but an all-out pay-per-view slugfest in Vegas. Watch the video to see Boll put Bay on blast. Now that's entertainment! --Oscar Pascual
For those who aren't excited about the Iron Man movie coming out next month, you really should be. After all, it's not much of a stretch for Robert Downey, Jr. to play an alcoholic millionaire playboy. On the flip, if you can't wait for the movie to come out, then the Comic Outpost is giving you a chance to play the part of Iron Man yourself. Come out to the shop Wednesday, April 23 (that's TOMORROW), when owner Gary and the gang host the Drunken Iron Man contest. Act out a scene as a shit-faced Tony Starks from the classic "Demon in a Bottle" story arc and you can win some cool swag and VIP passes to the movie. Heck, you can even get actually drunk for the contest if you want to. Just don't bring your car if you plan to do so. Seriously. --Oscar Pascual
Fox has revealed the offical title to the hotly anticipated X-Files movie due in the summer. The film will be known as X-Files: I Want to Believe, a reference to the UFO poster hanging on the wall in Mulder's office. Absolutely nothing else of importance has been revealed about the movie. Well, unless you consider Xzibit starring in the film important. Which I don't. X-Files: I Want to Believe opens in theatres July 25. -- Oscar Pascual
Variety reported that Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks bought the rights to Japanese anime, Ghost in the Shell, with plans for a live-action film adaptation. The problem is, Spielberg will neither produce nor direct it. Wow, this movie is going to suck. -- Oscar Pascual
Mike Myers will host the MTV Movie Awards this year, and will no doubt plug his latest laffer, The Love Guru. I know what you're saying -- "Who?" Hey Mike, what have you been up to since Austin Powers? Oh, that's right. Not a damn thing. The awards show will air June 1. -- ASD Staff Report
If you didn't know, Peter Sellers was a comedic genius. His multiple funny roles in Dr. Strangelove was a precursor to further versatile actors like the Monty Python troupe and Eddie Murphy, and was outright snubbed of winning another Oscar with his amazing performance in Being There. The Castro Theatre won't be playing these classics, but the flicks Sellers did with director Blake Edwards weren't so bad, either. Visit the Castro Theatre April 18 for a Peter Sellers double feature of A Shot in the Dark, where Sellers takes on his immortal Inspector Clouseau character of Pink Panther Fame, and The Party, where he plays a bumbling Indian actor who ruins a swank Hollywood party. -- ASD Staff Report
The man who parted the red sea, fought for your second amendment rights, and took on a gang of evolved primates barehanded is no more. We'll miss that heroic, right-wing swagger. At least he'll never have to deal with a single damned dirty ape ever again. -- ASD Staff Report
Way before Sean Penn became an artsy, self-righteous douchenozzle, he played a lovable stoner who ordered pizza in the middle of history class. Relive the good old days April 10, when a new season of Dolores Park Movie Night begins with Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Check the schedule for future movie nights at the park. All you need are some tasty tamales, a cool flick, and you're fine. -- ASD Staff Report
There are probably as many ways of approaching the 51st San Francisco International Film Festival, which will unspool (as Variety would have it) from April 24 to May 8, 2008, as there are filmgoers to attend it. The hardcore cinephiles will try to see it all – good luck, with 177 films from 49 countries in 38 languages scheduled, at the newly renovated, very posh Sundance Kabuki, the venerable big-screen Castro, Landmark’s Clay Theatre [www.landmarktheatres.com/market/SanFrancisco/ClayTheatre.htm], and across the bay at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley. (Still, the Festival has slimmed down a bit from last year’s 50th anniversary – the first film festival in the Americas to reach that milestone – which programmed 200 films from 54 countries, which ought to help out the obsessed. A little.)
EW.com has the first look at Benicio Del Toro in full Wolfman makeup. Yah, that's really him. Much more impressive than his Che get-up, isn't it? -- ASD Staff Report
Paramount Pictures recently announced a new Heavy Metal movie. The Sci-fi anthology will feature David Fincher(Seven/Fight Club/Zodiac) as one of the many directors to create a segment for the film. This means that fans get to enjoy atmospheric, psychological subtext alongside the usual big-breasted, armed-to-the-teeth Amazon women that seem to be prominent in anything Heavy Metal. -- ASD Staff Report
In further proof that Judd Apatow's extended crew runs shit like they're the Wu-Tang of Hollywood, Disney has enlisted writer/actor Jason Segel and director Nick Stoller to helm the next Muppets movie. Segel and Stoller wrote and directed the upcoming Apatow-produced Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Segel has also appeared in a gagillion Apatow projects, including Freaks and Geeks and Knocked Up, to name a few. Here's hoping he writes hilarious dick jokes for Statler and Waldorf. -- ASD Staff Report
Reports have surfaced that Edward Norton is not pleased with Marvel's final cut of the upcoming Hulk movie. Norton, who plays Dr. Bruce Banner/Hulk, has a different view than Marvel on how the film should be edited, and is upset due to the fact that he was promised "tremendous involvement and access" throughout production. Please Marvel, don't make Ed Norton Angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
