Plus some other stuff!

Question for debate: which ship takes more abuse, the Enterprise or the Millennium Falcon? I liked Star Trek Into Darkness. I liked the back-and-forth between Kirk and Spock. I liked the chilly superiority of Benedict Cumberbatch's character. I liked seeing …

Co-Founder of Bad Robot productions sits down with The Big Screen

Matthew Lickona: I can't help but notice that all of the screenwriters — Roberto Oci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof - also have producer credits, along with director J.J. Abrams. Could you talk about what being a producer meant for …

Dept. of No, Not Really

Disney animation chief John Lasseter: "We started with Cars, because Hot Wheels. Then we moved on to Planes, because Top Gun. But there was no way we weren't going to finish the job. Happily, there was a media property with …

Single-piece sculpture? Oh, no no no. Mass production, that's the ticket.

So everyone is making a fuss because some artist somewhere is offering to make replicas of the famous penis sculpture that gets used as a murder weapon in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (here about to be employed by the …

Let's make this happen, people.

Really, y'all should be reading Scott's entire interview with the great Michael Shannon here. (There was almost nothing to enjoy in Premium Rush - nothing, that is, other than Michael Shannon's dirty cop with a gambling problem. And he was …

Bay: "I AM THE ANGRIEST BIRD OF ALL! THE RAGING COCK!"

"Did they not see the BASE jumping scene in Transformers: Dark of the Moon? Do they not know that I am the king of things flying through the air? Do they not know that I am the master of things …

Ludovico ain't got nothin' on Crystal

Got a press release the other day. Decided to illustrate it. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/15/45658/ Culver City, CA (May 13, 2013) – Billy Crystal is attached to star in Winter’s Discontent... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/15/45654/ ...as a widower... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/15/45655/ ...who moves into a reputed active adult …

No, it's not German for "The Disney the." It's just the Mondays, grumpy about the Disney Machine and what they're doing to my childhood down in the basement, er, marketing department: http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/13/45410/ Now don't misunderstand me. I know that George …

Okay, The Great Gatsby. I shouldn't complain. It's not based on a toy property. It's not a superhero movie. It's not a sequel. It's not even a brainless shoot-em-up (not that there's anything wrong with that). It is, however, a …

So yeah, Iron Man 3. Man, do I hate bloated finales. Remember the first Iron Man? Stark vs. Stane, Iron Man vs. Iron Monger, one on one, plus, of course, a little help from Tony's friends. This? This is not …

Come on, people - help me out.

Word is that they're making a Fred Rogers movie. Jon Hamm? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/02/44805/

Is everybody excited yet? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/02/44801/ Here's Part II Here's Part I

Tony gets a little touchy... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/02/44794/

First in a series. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/may/02/44793/

Did anyone else see this?

I'm sorry if someone else already posted about this... New York magazine's Grub Street blog did a feature on the best pizza in America, and what do you know, amid the frozen delights and pizza meccas, they managed to include …

Okay, so everyone's excited for this, because deep down inside, everyone is still an eight-year-old boy. Except, maybe, you know, the girls. But they'll go with their boyfriends, just like they used to go to the arcade with their boyfriends …

Supposedly, the summer blockbuster season kicked off today with Michael Bay's pastel musclebound nightmare Pain & Gain. But Scott hated it (not that critical loathing has ever had much effect on Bay's films). Blockbusters start in May, not before. More …

You, dear readers, are intelligent media consumers and also connoisseurs of the web. So you've all seen The Oatmeal's excellent illustrated story, I tried to watch Game of Thrones and this is what happened. Right? Right. My own story is …

I'm not gonna link to the trailer for R.I.P.D., which stands for Rest In Peace Department, because that's hilarious and needs no further publicity to become the feel good hit of the year. I am, however, going to take note …
