I have a puppy named @scotteweinberg who will leap on your bed and wake you up if he’s bored. This puppy also edits Cinematical!
Due to @scotteweinberg‘s incessant complaining and SNL’s suckiness, we’ve switched to The History Channel.
Hey, um, foot? First day of a 5-day NYC trip is not the time to develop a blister. Whoever told you otherwise misled you. #ihatefeet
Selma Blair is sitting in front of me at a Tribeca screening. This is why they invented Twitter. #tribeca
Taking an overnight flight is like having a slumber party with 150 strangers. Still, did they have to put my bra in the freezer?
Our pal @dawntaylor666 hated THE LOSERS. She hated it a lot. You should read her review. http://bit.ly/aaR8Hi
Today it was Movie B.S. with Blubaugh & Snider, as @andyblubaugh filled in for a vacationing Jeff Bayer. Audio is up: http://bit.ly/aS2kEG
Bad news, everybody! Both of the new releases this weekend are bad. “The Losers,” which wants very much to be “The A-Team,” is the kind of bad that’s bearable. But “The Back-Up Plan,” starring Jennifer Lopez as a woman who gets artificially inseminated and THEN meets the man of her dreams, is the intolerable kind of bad. I will not tolerate it.
Oh, and there’s “Oceans,” a nature documentary, but it didn’t screen for critics in Portland, so it’s dead to me.
“Best Worst Movie,” a very fun documentary about terrible cult favorite “Troll 2,” opens today at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin. It’ll hit New York and L.A. in a couple weeks and spread out from there. I’ll remind you about it later, but any Austinites within the sound of my e-voice should check it out immediately.
What was I up to over at Film.com this week? Golly, there was What’s the Big Deal?, focused on “La Dolce Vita,” a film I like very much. Then there was Eric’s Bad Movies, featuring “American Ninja,” about a ninja who is — wait for it — American. I also wrote a piece explaining the differences between the upcoming “Furry Vengeance” and the upcoming “Nightmare on Elm Street” remake.
Last Friday, I debuted a new column at Cinematical about religion in film. It’s called Cinemaligion! I love that title because it’s terrible but memorable. Cinemaligion! You should say it out loud. Anyway, the first Cinemaligion column is about “Footloose.” The feature will run every two weeks.
Thanks to everyone who’s been listening to “Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider” at PDX.fm! Remember, you can listen live at 11 a.m. (Pacific) every Friday at PDX.fm, or get the recording a couple hours later at the website or from iTunes. (Once again, ignore the “explicit” tag. We keep it PG.) Jeff is out of town this week, so I have a guest sidekick, Portland filmmaker and personal acquaintance Andy Blubaugh. Listen to us, won’t you? WON’T YOU? WHY WON’T YOU??
