That disturbing joy squeal you heard at approximately 10 o’clock central last night was me reading the announcement that William Monahan is directing Charlize Theron in an adaptation of Park Chan-Wook’s Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. Lady Vengeance is the final film in Park’s “Vengeance” trilogy. It’s incredibly hard to watch, gut wrenchingly beautiful, stylish as [...]

Allegedly the original title for Prometheus was simply too telling. It gave away the entire story. Apparently someone there at Fox didn’t bone up on their Greek mythology because the new title is just as illuminating. This is a film about mankind seeking out those that gave them the fruits of knowledge. Seeking their Prometheus. [...]

I can’t even with this story! I love a lot of things about Charlize Theron. Fact: when I get home after work I absolutely strip off all my work clothes while strutting a la her Dior ad. I love it when she recently saluted Fassbender’s wang. I love her even more now that I learned [...]

  So Tyra Banks has fired noted  fashion photographer Nigel Barker, Jay Manuel, and sometimes contributer J. Alexander from the never-ending hypnotic nightmare that is America’s Next Top Model.  Bitch don’t try and pretend like you’ve never seen it. True story, our editor in chief does an amazing Tyra impression that is only 15% racist. [...]

  It feels like maybe Jessica Simpson has been pregnant for a million years. It feels like she has been pregnant for so long, that is has made me pregnant, which is now whenever I see photos of her, being pregnant and in very, very high heels I start whimpering in pain. She has been [...]

A few years ago, fresh off a surprise Oscar win for Juno, Diablo Cody was enlisted to write a Sweet Valley High remake. Since then she’s released the underrated Jennifer’s Body and the uneven but brilliantly experimental United States of Tara. She’s also signed on to adapt a remake of Evil Dead. And she’s done [...]

It is perfectly fine by me if you aren’t a fan of Diablo Cody’s oeuvre. Truth be told, I’m not fan of her writing, either – but I’m fascinated by watching her evolve and work, and I’m even more fascinated by the way in which people criticize her, because 90% of the time, it smacks [...]

Kat Von D has taken to the facebook to put together a thoughtful and sad blog entry about how Jesse James cheated on her with no fewer than 19 ladies. A lot of people are giving her shit, but come on, Kat Von D is awesome and can pull off star tattoos on her face! [...]

Just this past week I was bemoaning the trend of the last twenty years wherein traditional “damsels in distress” were turned into fierce Amazons and one tired genre trope was traded for another. I made a big mistake in forgetting Kristen Stewart’s titular character in the new Snow White and the Huntsman. It looks like [...]

You know what your day needs? A little bit of dark, dark comedy. Young Adults would be the new film from Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman. While summaries for the film have called it dark I had no idea how dark until this trailer hits. Charlize Theron is a nasty and horrible and Patton Oswalt [...]
