Rotten Tomatoes has an exclusive interview with Guillermo del Toro, where he discusses his approach to directing the upcoming Hobbit movie:
“When Tolkien wrote the book he was not making a prequel … and if there are gaps in the logic of the use or the powers of the ring between the first film and the trilogy, they will be the same gaps that Tolkien had writing the book. We’ll try to deal with it, but I’m not going to betray the spirit of the book in order to fit the cinematic incarnation.”
I’m happy that Del Toro is planning to stay true to the spirit of the book, but I’d still like it to fit well with the previous LOTR films - visually and thematically. It’ll be interesting to see if GDT can pull it off.

… and go see Wall-E if you haven’t already. It’s easily the best movie so far this year, and probably Pixar’s best film. Yes, there’s very little dialogue, but the animation is stunning and it plays like a silent film worthy of Chaplin or Keaton (That’s Buster, not Michael)
disney, pixar, wall-e

The buzz has started for Indy 4, and it’s not good.
I liked the teaser, and was apathetic towards the trailer. So, yeah. Color me worried.

Check it out here. I was a big fan of the first Harold and Kumar, and this looks like it’ll be pretty funny as well. I think this concept is a lot more ripe for satire than a straight ahead Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam would have been. An Doogie’s back, which is always good.
