Marx Brothers Funny Both Backwards and Forwards
Posted on 08.15.07 by Widge @ 1:55 am

Gotta love the internet. Mark Evanier posted the clip below on his blog, where the boys have their words reversed so it can sound like a foreign language. He was wondering what in the world they actually said.

Less than nine hours later, somebody not only reversed the speech bits but then put them back in the right places so they could be truly played forwards. Then it was up on YouTube.

Update: The original clip is gone, but somebody's combined the two, so that's what you've got coming up...here:

Nothing earth shattering like "Paul is Dead" or anything, but still. Gotta love it.

Voltron Film News: But... They're Still Gonna Kill Sven, Right?
Posted on 08.14.07 by JM Tuffley @ 5:22 pm
Voltron

Since Transformers was a hit, many more 1980s cartoons are getting Live Action retrofits drenched in CGI and just a bit of the explody.

According to Variety, the latest candidate for the treatment is Voltron: Defender of the Universe. New Regency appears to fancy the Lion Version (because it seems the prospect of bringing the vehicle team to a cinema near you may trigger unintended Wing Commander flashbacks).

The flick will move the action to (what else?) a post-apocalyptic Earth, where five survivors of said apocalypse will stumble upon the Lions, and attempt to use them to fend off an invading alien race. And yes--I'm sure someone will form the head.

Trailers From Hell: Directors vs. Classic Trailers
Posted on 08.13.07 by Widge @ 10:33 pm

Oh my, this is genius. Joe Dante has apparently taken it upon himself to bring together classic movie trailers and get directors (mostly directors, Sam Hamm is in there too and I think he's a scribe/producer) to provide commentary over them. Sure, the length of the trailers make everything short but sweet but still--we love vintage movie trailers, so it's cool to have a site devoted to them.

Here's Dante discussing the joyously bad Robot Monster:

Be Kind Rewind: Movies With Heart and Soul
Posted on 08.11.07 by Widge @ 6:56 pm

Ken just sent me this. Jack Black + Mos Def not in Hitchhiker's Guide + Michel Gondry = gold.

The only other thing I'd like to say is that if Heat Vision and Jack had been greenlighted, we would have realized peace on Earth by now.

Milka Duno: Meet Gearbox From the Speed Racer Movie
Posted on 08.10.07 by Widge @ 4:47 pm
Milka Duno

Milka Duno, who apparently is a real-life racer (but who drives the #23 CITGO Honda Dallara IndyCar instead of, say, something like the Mach 5), is headed to Berlin to play the role of Gearbox in the live action Speed Racer movie. The Brothers Wachowski are writing and directing, with Joel Silver producing.

It would be uncommonly cruel of me to remind all Speed fans that those three folks were the same people that crushed the hopes of a generation with The Matrix Revolutions, so I will refrain from mentioning that.

Anyway, I have no idea who Gearbox is in the whole pantheon of characters. Maybe a more savvy Speed fan can let me know. It must not be too big a part, though, because she'll be shooting for a week and then returning to the States.

Bert Lahr Sings! What, We Have No Idea...
Posted on 07.22.07 by Widge @ 7:27 pm

Bert Lahr, who we've mentioned recently, returns for a song that a YouTube commenter rightfully called "Rex Harrison on pot."

Actually, this is yet another example of what it's like to be inside my head. On a quiet day. Yes, including the trumpet solo.

Stacy: A Story of Coming of Age and Then Promptly Becoming Undead
Posted on 07.19.07 by Widge @ 9:16 pm

To quote the immortal philosopher John Hartigan, "There's wrong and there's wrong and there's this."

This is three steps away from being a live action version of Sailor Moon if it had been adapted by Robert Kirkman. You know this, don't you?

Bela Lugosi's Dracula: He Bids You Welcome
Posted on 07.14.07 by Widge @ 6:44 pm

Yes, another full movie: but considering it's Dracula, how can I resist?

As great as Lugosi's Dracula is, for me I'm fascinated by Dwight Frye's Renfield. Having watched Frye and also Tom Waits in that deplorable Coppola version of the story, it seems like Renfield's got to be the most fun to play.

10,000 B.C.: Dindrane Will Be Rooting For the Tigers
Posted on 07.12.07 by Widge @ 11:45 pm

Son of a BITCH. See what happens when Hollywood gets ahold of a comic strip? Johnny Hart is in the afterlife, totally pissed off. And that dude looks nothing like Thor! I mean...

Wait...what?

Oh. Sorry. Never mind.

The Crossover We're Dying to See

Harry Potter vs. The Evil Dead

SNAPE. Are all time-hopping muggles loud-mouthed braggarts?

ASH. Nope. Just me, baby. Just me.

Well, Ash has already crossed over with Marvel. You know you want it.
