08.16.07 by Widge @ 4:06 am Mark Evanier points out something we hadn't known previously: Laurel and Hardy would reshoot films in different languages, reading the words phonetically. And sometimes foreign versions of the films had scenes which weren't in the domestic American releases. Case in point, this little ditty from Blotto, which was released in Spain as La Vida Nocturna: Direct link for the feedreaders. Spanish version of their trip to the dentist after the break...

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.

08.14.07 by Tuffley @ 5:22 pm  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. Categorized as: Movies

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: Categorized as: Movies

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. Categorized as: Movies
