Because apparently this is not a joke and this movie is being made. It stars Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. And apparently they are going to intern at Google.

There’s lots of opportunity for humor, and some of it off color, but something doesn’t quite sit right about this humor. it feels like the writers are as out of touch with tech culture as Wilson and Vaugh are supposed to be in the film.

But whatever. This film comes out on June 7 so buckle up for the thrillz!!!1!!

Harrison Ford had a bit of a run in with some folks on the Jimmy Kimmel show. He was nice enough to Kimmel, who quickly moved off the Star Wars subject and solicited questions from the audience. But then, man, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea because that really set Ford off.

I mean, see for yourself. And be sure to watch before you read my comments below.

(Be warned that some of the humor could be considered a bit crude or crass)

Man, he is so good at acting (surprise) like he is perturbed and put out that you can’t really tell if it’s an act or not at first. And even part…

“Tron: Legacy” and “Oblivion” director Joseph Kosinski is teaming with “Pacific Rim” writer Travis Beacham for the pretty awesomely titled “Ballistic City.” The ambitious premise is set in a city contained within a spaceship that’s headed to an unknown world, following a former cop who falls into the criminal underworld, in something that’s described as a cross between “Blade Runner” and “Battlestar Galactica.” And that’s a mix we can get behind. Right now, the show is in development with both Kosinski and Beacham executive producing, with the former to direct while the latter…

I have no idea what this show might be beyond the trailer and description synopsis below, but isn’t it a little odd that SyFy is getting back in to, you know, sci-fi after shunning it and canceling practically all of its sci-fi shows? I don’t know how much I trust them right now.

When a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic to investigate a possible disease outbreak, they quickly find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that holds the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation.

TJ and Joe after The MovieByte Podcast Episode #40

Join TJ and Joe as they chat with special guest Anthony Pascale of TrekMovie.com. They briefly discuss the new ‘Man of Steel’ trailer, all three are looking forward to the film, then they turn their attention to the final ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ trailer. They discuss first impressions, general thoughts, marketing ‘Star Trek’ to a broader international audience, the big old ship Cumberbatch is driving around in, is the villain Khan or not, captain Kirk’s disposition, destroying the Enterprise… again…, and the fact that most Trekkies are loving the trailer. Then after bidding farewell to Anthony, TJ and Joe discuss the film ‘42’ about the life of Jackie Robinson and his struggle as a black man in Major League Baseball during a time of incredible racism.

There is a swell new trailer for Man of Steel. Actually, it’s beyond swell; it’s epic. In fact, it’s so epic, if you removed a few of the fast cuts to give a bit more plot clarity, and then add in something about Superman conquering General Zod, then, well, you’d probably have the world’s most epic 3-minute film.

It reminds me of the 2002 Spider-man Trailer where just about the only part missing is Spider-man actually defeating the Green Goblin.

With trailers like these, who needs movies?

Shawn analyzing the state of movie trailers, and he’s not wrong. I’ve talked about it before…

13: Sherlock, A Study in Pink

04/17/2013

After wrapping up last week’s discussion about across the pond media, TJ and Alex riff on Hannibal, Oblivion and of course, Sherlock: A Study in Pink.

I’m back after missing an episode! Head on over to catch the latest episode in which I discuss the British television show Sherlock with my friend Alex Arena.

What a week for trailers! I still have a slightly bad feeling about this film, but this trailer did help to get me a little more interested. There’s going to be a little bit of story here it looks like. Now, all the story may be in the trailer — that has been known to happen before. But this trailer does hint at a better story than I was anticipating perhaps.

Still, it’s going to be heavy on action and Johnny Depp humor. In fact I still think that the primary reason it was made was for Johnny Depp as Tonto.

The film comes out in July and this is presumably the big final trailer and…
