Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy , Celebrities and Controversy Somehow I missed this on Thursday, but apparently so did everyone else, since I didn’t see it linked anywhere. Roger Ebert was hanging out at a post-production studio in Chicago, watching the restored new print of The Godfather , when he was unexpectedly joined by Larry and Andy Wachowski, the famously inaccessible duo behind The Matrix , Speed Racer , and (people forget) Bound . Afterward, he got a chance to chat with them -- not in a conventional interview setting, complete with a hovering publicist (the brothers don’t do that, remember?), but over a beer. Ebert was impressed with the "zillionaires": "Nice people. Friendly. No Hollywood attitude." He writes that "[t]he blogosphere paints them as mysterious recluses, which may add to the legend but doesn’t match the reality." But their being nice and friendly doesn’t make them any less mysterious and reclusive: I&...

Roger Ebert es mi crítico de cine favorito. No porque tienda a estar de acuerdo con él, que depende, sino porque me gusta como piensa. En general, las opiniones no me interesan demasiado y prefiero oír las razones que sustentan esas opiniones. En el caso de Ebert, me parece que razona muy bien, con gran [...]... more
Roger Ebert has been involved in a scuffle or two in his day. He also takes no issues responding to crazy emailers with his own crazy answers. Here’s his response to a Disaster Movie "fan":
Question: Yo dude, u missed out on "Disaster Movie," a hardcore laugh-ur-@zz-off movie! Y U not review this movie!? It was funny as #ell! Prolly the funniest movie of the summer! U never review these, wat up wit dat?
Ebert’s Response: Hey, bro, I wuz buzier than $#i+, @d they never shoed it... more
Slate has more on the restored Godfather films I told you about last week .
Luckily, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had a print of The Godfather that was in perfect condition. (This was the approved master print that Technicolor stored with the academy when the film was complete. It had never been shown in a theater.) So, when Harris & Co. did the digital color correction, they could use this print as a reference. They also worked side by side with Allen Daviau, a... more
While ’Mean Streets’ is considered one of the 1970’s grittiest classics, and ’GoodFellas’ is seen as above reproach as one of the greatest mob movies ever made next to ’The Godfather’ series, ’Casino’...... more

The Matrix trilogy is now out on Blu-ray format in Japan, and Warner Brothers has decided to milk this cash cow all the more with over-the-top packaging that will really rile the feathers of environmentalists worldwide. Imagine receiving seven discs in a 2-foot detailed model of the Nebuchadnezzar. Price of admission? A princely $375, netting you The Matrix trilogy and The Animatrix on Blu-ray discs, while the remaining three discs are standard definition DVDs that feature making-of documen... more
Woodbridge, Virginia
From the Manassas Journal Messenger of September 29, 2008 Mother fends off robbers with handgun
Three would-be robbers, one armed with a pair of scissors, walked into a Woodbridge store on Saturday morning with criminal intent.
They left empty-handed and apparently more than a little frightened.
About 11:30 a.m. the three walked into Tienda Hispana Esperanza. One rushed to the counter and pointed the scissors at the owner’s neck and another grabbe... more

Though the film is not quite finished yet, a post-production teaser/behind the scenes video for Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus has arrived online via QuickStopEntertainment . Watch as Gilliam introduces his fantastical new world -- showing artwork, set design and brief glimpses of actual scenes -- all while briefly explaining the film’s bizarre storyline ("it feels like some of the films I made when I was younger," he notes). Gilliam says, "The fil... more
Well, it’s sure been quite the week for movie-inspired television series that no one asked for. First up, by way of Ain’t It Cool News , is a spot for G4’s Spaceballs: The Animated Series . I’m not sure what prompted this Flash-animated wonder -- I mean, it’s not like I want to give The Clone Wars that much credit for anything, let alone the likes of this -- but at least we know that something’s keeping Mel Brooks and Daphne Zuniga from over-twid... more
About a week ago, word spread that Robert De Niro had walked off the set of Martin Campbell’s Edge of Darkness . A spokesman for De Niro explained it to us like idiots : "Sometimes things don’t work out; it’s called creative differences." De Niro would have co-starred with Mel Gibson as an agent tasked with cleaning up evidence of a murder Gibson’s homicide detective is trying to investigate. It seems that Campbell has found his replacement : the great Ray Winstone... more
