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 …
Disney announces third entry in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" trilogy
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 …
Dear A Clockwork Orange: let The Great Gatsby be your guide to the wonderful world of merchandising!
Single-piece sculpture? Oh, no no no. Mass production, that's the ticket.

Michael Shannon in Smurfs 4: Yes, please
Let's make this happen, people.

Die Disney die - UPDATED
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 …
New releases opening this week: The Great Gatsby and some other less exhausting things
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 …
New releases opening this week: Iron Man 3, and some other films as well

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 …
Trailer Park: Pacific Rim
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 …
New releases opening this week: Graceland, Mud, Upstream Color and more
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 …
