A big ol’ batch of Film.com articles
Here are some articles I’ve written for Film.com that might interest or amuse you, all posted since the last time I did one of these roundups. Which was a while ago, so some of these are kinda old now. But still.
‘Untraceable’s’ European Facebook Campaign Was Tacky, Just Like the Movie - Remember the movie “Untraceable”? No? That’s OK.
Differences Between the ‘Prom Night’ Trailer and My Actual Prom Night - I loved this idea when my Film.com overlord pitched it to me, and I had fun writing it.
‘Fanboys’: When Directors Strike Back - All the background you need on this silly news item is in the story.
Good News! The New Indiana Jones Will NOT Be Non-Stop CGI - This development occurs over George Lucas’ dead body, one assumes.
Hey ‘Dark Knight’: Test Audiences Are Dumb, Don’t Listen to Them - In response to a rumor that certain elements of the new Batman film would be excised to appease certain stupid audience members who were too emotional over the months-ago death of an actor they never met whose demise affected them in no way whatsoever.
Are You Excited About ‘Speed Racer’? - Well, we know the answer now. Turns out my prophecies herein were correct.
Cell Phones Movies?? Nooooooooooooo! - In response to a news item about a Nokia-sponsored “filmmaking” contest.
Animals That Need to Have Horror Movies Made About Them - Self-explanatory.
If Teen Girls Have Anything to Say About It, ‘Twilight’ Will Soon Take Over the World - OMG LOL.

Eric, what have you been up to? Let me quote part of a comment from your Twilight articles.
AlohaTwilight says:
“Eric you are awesome! I USED to be a 17 yr. old girl, so I can speak from experience. “

A lot of 17-year-old girls can speak from experience about how awesome I am. Let’s just leave it at that.

Aloha Twilight? I think that might be my little sister… Anyways, I’ll concur with the awesomeness, especially after reading “Animals that need to have horror movies made about them”.

I have not read any of Stephenie Meyer’s work, but I would consider doing it now, because I clicked over to her bio and read her comparison of her small boys to chimpanzees on crack. Awesome.
By the way, I wonder if her mention of this site is the reason for (what seems to me based on comments) an uptick in teenage girl traffic.

“Run for Your Ducking Lives” made me laugh way harder than it should of. It was hilarious though. Good articles all around.
