Pajiba

My first impression of Chaos is that it looks funny and I lurve RyRy.

But you never know it could be crappy. Crappy, crappy crappy. Crappy.

Coup de Pajiba...that means coup of Pajiba.

I sincerely hope Skank Cancer was too busy smoking to take the role from Kristen Bell...smoking on the tailpipe of a school bus. Think about it. She could fit that in her mouth. It's huge. Huge. When she yawns, I'm sure that doctors created some sort of screen or filter she has to put in her mouth so she doesn't inhale babies.

And last time I heard, Craig Kilborn was vacationing from the face of the earth.

" I think it's time folks that we all finally began to separating "Veronica Mars" the character from Kristen Bell, the actress. One is cool; the other is a thespian with very limited range who is quickly rising on the annoying meter."

It saddens me to say this but I think you're absolutely right. I think it's almost time to re-watch Veronica from the beginning agian (I've been missing TV recently and as a result have been getting way too excited about new episodes of One Tree Hill), I'll follow up with Firefly, Wonderfalls and Freaks and Geeks and emerge a fully rounded person again.

Sorry, I had to go there.

there will be a sequel to 1973's version of The Wicker Man, and it will be called Cowboys for Christ

I know I say this every time there's a roundup but... wait, what? And are they EVER going to start filming the new Last Unicorn while Christopher Lee is still around to be the king? Please?

Also, I'm glad to see you occasionally mentioning the screenwriters in the rundown of upcoming movies. As 'Girlfight' and 'Aeon Flux' should prove, sometimes it's entirely the script that makes the movie.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear fur-nace!

Sorry, I just love that They Might Be Giants EP.

So that's the happy out of the way. Now for the sad.

[pained expression]

Hayden Panitierre is going to be in a movie... named after one of the best albums ever recorded? Is Thurston Moore aware of this? Is Hayden deliberately trying to hurt me?

And I am sticking my fingers in my ears until you stop saying such things are Ms. Bell. I refuse to believe, after her turns in VM and Heroes (and that adorable cake-mixing-dance youtube video), any of these terrible things.

I'm just not happy today.

One of my nicknames growing up was Tootie. Yeah.

And I don't think it has anything to do with your massive, inappropriate man-crush on Ryan Reynolds, Dustin, because I think Chaos Theory looks pretty good, too.

Also, I am most definitely NOT stone. And this time my bosses WERE around to hear me.

So I have a real Brooks Brothers fetish (I don't get "GQ" for the articles, folks), and the New England private school teacher thing that Ryan Reynolds is rocking in that preview is enough to convince me to pony up $9.50.

Wait, is there a way to incorporate a sweater vest and exposed abs? Mr. Reynolds, I do believe I've found a new mission for you in life...

twig -- did you just make that up, about The Last Unicorn, or is someone really planning that? I have a deep love for the original, but Lee could really nail that in live-action.

And is it just me, or does every movie with Dennis Quaid these days seem like it's going to suck? I don't think he's really a bad actor, and maybe it's just that Cold Creek Manor was so terrible I still haven't recovered. But every time he shows up in a movie these days, I just assume it's not going to be good.

One of my nicknames growing up was Tootie. Yeah.

Ohhhhhh, are you ever gonna regret sharing that little tidbit.

Oh, and true story: when I was a kid, my father wouldn't let me watch G.I. Joe, because he felt it glorified war and the military and "promoted a Capitalist agenda." Yeah, my dad was a little weird. And was (and still is) a full-blown radical Marxist.

Todd, Wikipedia has a little blurb concerning the buzz. At the moment it seems nothing more than vaporware, but there's definitely been discussion. And since C. Lee already did the voice acting in the cartoon version, it's not like he couldn't do it again.

Don't give TK ammo, Kolby. You'll live to regret it as he will not let it drop. Ever.

Ever.

Well, Dustin, I guess I must be stone, goddammit. Stone.

Also, I think it's unfair to call Aeon Flux one of the "worst films" in a decade that includes The Bucket List, Because I Said So, The Hottie and the Nottie--I could go on, but who wants me to?

If you were a fan of the MTV cartoons, Aeon Flux was a perfectly servicable live-action take on that anarchic style. And the cast and scenery were purty. It's not gonna be on anybody's Top Ten but I enjoyed it for what it was.

No no....Aeon Flux sucked the big one...I think he meant one of the worst films of the decade that was expected to be good. We all knew those others were going to be bad...but Aeon Flux gave hope that someone had done their homework and made a...you know....good movie.

Maybe it's my own mancrush on Reynolds, but that movie looks really good.

Seconded the vote that Aeon Flux was a craptastrophe. The MTV cartoons were bizarre, ultraviolent pervy fun. The movie was a dull, joyless corporate-test-audience nightmare with a horrible script.

Double unforgivable shit points for not being able to utilize Sophie Okonedo or Frances McDormand in any decent way.

Your mancrush (and mine) would only cloud your judgement if you will enjoy Definitely, Maybe. Sadly I know that I will...at least watch and hate (and potentially cut myself in penitance) myself later. *sniffle* Why do you do this to me, Ryan? Why?

God: How many fucking times can we expect a movie to be a cross between something else and Juno over the course of the next decade.
52,781.

Mark Steven Johnson can go copulate with himself, vigourously, utilising the business end of a sharpened stick. After having my excessively crap-tolerant housemate make me rent Ghost Rider from Blockbusters, and sit through it as well, I've made myself a solemn vow that should our paths ever cross, I'm going to hoof MSJ in the balls like I'm kicking a motherfucking field goal.

That movie also sucked the very last of the goodwill I had remaining for Nicolas Cage from Adaptation and Leaving Las Vegas. The Carpenters? Jelly beans? Programmes about monkeys? For God's sake Nic, why? And now you're putting it about that you want to make Ghost Rider 2? Are you trying to convince me to hunt you down and administer a much-needed paddlin'?

*phew*

I feel better now.

TK:

On our side of the pond we had Action Man instead of GI Joe. They were sold with authentic British army unifroms (which of course never made it into our house: my brother had to make do with one khaki outfit). When he turned 13, my brother knitted a sweater for his GI Joe, made him a pair of jeans and fashioned a long haired wig out of black wool. To this day, he sits in his hippie glory on my brother's desk (he's a teacher) holding a sign that says "Peace".

The advance reviews on Ryan Reynolds' Definitely, Maybe have been pretty good, and if Chaos Theory can just not suck, maybe he'll find his groove. I'm in the pro-Just Friends and pro-Waiting ... camps, and he just needs a little boost with a decent script and director. D,M could be it.

Whatever happened to Craig Kilborn? Anybody?

According to The Onion, he's semi-homeless and busted into ESPN HQ a few weeks ago trying to recapture some glory. Anyone else see that Onion article a few weeks ago? High comedy.

Whatever happened to Craig Kilborn? Anybody?

Been wondering that myself lately, particularl during the commercials on Comedy Central about videos avialble online for past A/The Daily Show stars. Do they have any of Craig?

I'm surprised there is no mention of the announcement that the Coens are planning to direct Michael Chabon's "The Yiddish Policeman's Union". I've just started the book but I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

Rumors are spreading faster than grease paint and monkey brains that Rob Zombie may sit in the director's chair for the remake of Conan the Barbarian

From the Desk of Ranylt Richildis: Dear Dustin, I'm sorry to do this to you, but I won't be able to review my film this Friday. See you on the other side, RR.

(Pulls out rust-bucket Luger from filing cabinet...

...puts tip to temple...

...pulls trig--

Jesus Jumping Jacks Christ, Elizabeth Banks is in Definitely, Maybe. Oh how I love Beth from the bookstore. I knew Isla "What's This Under the Dinner Table" Fisher was in it, but Elizabeth Banks gets me riled.

Kieran Culkin actually has a pretty good sniffer for decent films. We randomly caught the last half of Igby a couple of weeks ago, and I started wondering, "Why don't I own this?" Which we do now. I love that film.

Chaos looks ok. Digging the beard. Might be influenced by the music in the beginning of the trailer though.

Quote from Ted Raimi's bio on IMDB:
"He was babysat by Bruce Campbell"

I wonder what he charges? Does he charge extra to sing Duran Duran covers?

Hands up whose 1st thought upon reading "Daydream Nation" was that it was going to be a Sonic Youth - the early years biopic ?

In that light: could Hayden pull off a young Kim Gordon? Who'd play Thurston, and Ranaldo?

My thoughts exactly, RanyIt.

(checks Luger for more bullets...)

No, Ranylt don't do it! You have so much to live for! Maybe Rob Zombie will be hit by a bus mid-filming...

Ranylt, I thought all pajiba reviewers were given the fake-tooth cyanide-capsule after the last Rob Schneider movie.

Oh look, he's got four new projects scheduled for 08.

Apologies already towards Mr TK for my blasphemous inquiry...

Definitely have to give Chaos a holla for the great use of "in the hall of the mountain king" in that trailer, it always adds that edge.

When he turned 13, my brother knitted a sweater for his GI Joe, made him a pair of jeans and fashioned a long haired wig out of black wool. To this day, he sits in his hippie glory on my brother's desk (he's a teacher) holding a sign that says "Peace".

PaddyDog, your brother rocks. I love it!

I refuse to acknowledge that Kristen Bell may not be as ass-tingling awesome as I believe.

Cowboys for Christ? ...I would watch that.

How is it that I've never seen Just Friends, but I had seen the I Swear part at the end? I must have caught the end of the movie at some point. I wanted to be all snooty and not find it funny, but I did. And Chaos Theory does look pretty good. But so does Ryan Reynolds himself...I'm lovin' the bearded look (a personal preference of mine).

I also saw the Onion's reporting of where Craig Kilborn is now. But I like to think that where ever he is, he goes to sleep at night in a drunken stupor, muttering his incoherent plans for revenge at a picture of Jon Stewart.

I bring this up only because Bucket List is mentioned up there, but I recently found out that it was the last movie my mother saw, and she thought it was "really good!" Oh mom, how far I've fallen from the tree.

On our side of the pond we had Action Man instead of GI Joe. They were sold with authentic British army unifroms (which of course never made it into our house: my brother had to make do with one khaki outfit).

Paddy, were they sold with the authentic cosh for beating Mick schoolchildren? (Bulldozer for knocking down Irish family homes sold separately).

Ryan Reynolds is one of those guys that I'm developing a grudging love for. (Does that make sense?) Definitely Maybe looks...well, stupid, but even I had to crack a smile at that video. I like a guy that hot who can make a joke and not take himself so seriously. If you pause it at 2:16, it looks like he has really bad gas.

Wow, do I remember the Facts of Life. I was usually dressed like Blair in my class picture.

"Action Man" is a way cooler name than "GI Joe."

...And I have a girl-crush on Elizabeth Banks. She is fabulous. I will watch her in anything.

Jerce-me too. She's earned a free pass for life for Slither alone.

In re: Conan the Barbarian remake....

They will never be able to capture the original glory. But as long as there is plenty of camel punching, I'll survive.

OHMIGOD, Julie, SLITHER!!! I think you recommended that to me, and I watched it, and I FUCKING LOVED IT. I bought it the next day.

Yes, Elizabeth Banks can do ANYTHING she wants.

More than any other childhood item being revisted for a lousy movie, I loved GI Joe growing up. Watched the cartoons, had the toys, believe I had some comics as well. While I am no longer an active fan (don't still collect the toys, it isn't amongst the comics I read) and I'm not offened by non-canonical changes these movies can have (its an f***in cartoon, there can't be anything cannonical people) I have one request.

"PLEASE DON'T SUCK!

That is all

Honestly...I started imagining Dennis Quaid as General Hawk, and while I have nothing against the man (Undercover Blues is one of the greatest spy comedies around), my heart sinks when I try to visualize him being badass. And if he's any indication...the movie is not gonna live up to expectations.

I don't know...maybe Sommers can pull it out of his ass, and capture the feel of it. I just have very low expectations for the movie.

Oh, and Slither is the shit. Not just because Mal's in it....it just rocked on so many levels.

I may be slow, but I don't get that "Sex and Death 101" trailer. What is that? Is it...sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, crime, rom-com?! What's going on? What's that list? Who made that list? Who is Death Nell? Why the stupid fucking name? Why did I just spend 5 minutes thinking about this film when I have no intention whatsoever of watching it?

I'm done. Carry on.

Huh, I never knew that Action Man was a "this side of the pond" thing only. Action man fucking ruled.

Hurrah for the Slither love. Some of my good friends watched it and declared it "crap" I have trouble even speaking to them now, so fierce is my love for that movie.

GI Joe... My god, that WAS my youth. I had so many of the goddam toys, it'd make your head spin. I had a friend who had arguably the most awesomest toy EVER, the aircraft carrier... I had a train set, the comics, the mail-away shit, everything... Very fond memories indeed.

That being said, I will mow down everything, EVERYTHING associated with this movie if it sucks. I will light the MurderTank chainsaws on fire, hook up the Guiness IV-drip, crank up some Aretha Franklin, and become an un-fucking-stoppable high-speed harbinger of doom and despair. I will paint America's highways and byways with the innards of those who have contributed to tainting a very important part of my youth.

Sadly, I already know it's going to suck... So it might be a good idea to keep your kids, pets, and elderly relatives off the streets the day this abomination is released. I apologize in advance for the destruction...

Yeah, SLITHER was the shit...minus the "the." God, what a festering piece of twat. I could barely make it through it. It's like James Gunn just farted on a piece of celluloid and called it a movie...and, sadly, people fell for it. He should be drummed out of the movie business after that rotten secretion and his mediocre-as-all-get-out remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD.

Skittimus, you make my heart weep, but in a good way. Bless you, sir...for doing the right thing.

Case, hating Slither makes Baby Pajiba cry...

Actually Case, it was more like Night of The Creeps. Ooh I wish that would come out on dvd.

The logline for When in Rome: Bell will play a "love-starved New York curator who steals magical coins from a famous Roman fountain but soon finds herself in a bizarre situation when she is pursued back to New York by a band of aggressive suitors -- the very people whose coins she took."
How do you spell the sounds of me projectile vomiting?
And as for Ryan Reynolds, how do you spell out the sounds of me getting a female boner? It may be time for me to once again edit my Top Five.

Has anyone else seen the news that Christopher Eccleston's going to be Destro?

At first I was excited that he was going to be in "The Dark Is Rising", then discovered it was something I should unfortunately avoid. But what does *this* mean?

Pinkcheese:

Thanks. My brother does rock. He is what I miss the most about being thousands of miles from home.

Socalled:

You have no idea! My brother was given his Action Man by an innocent relative for his fourth birthday which was two months after Bloody Sunday happened. You sort of had to be there but no-one was feeling warm and fuzzy about the British Army back then and of course my brother took to the toy and it could not be pried out of his hands. I still remember my parents seething in anger but trying to hide it from their only little boy. Believe it or not that's actually a good memory because my Dad died in 1977 so any memory of actually having him around is a good one.

Alex T. O.:

I too was shocked that Action Man wasn't a worldeide phenomenon. If it matters, GI Joe is a little shorter and less muscular and doesn't have that great scar that the early Action Man had before they thought that was too much for little boys/

Chaos Theory looks really good. I'm massively in love with Ryan Reynolds, and I'm SO glad his career is going in good places, so far.

PLEASE DON'T SUCK!!

Agente Provocatrice, yes Rob Zombie will be hit by a bus mid-film and then they will hand the reigns over to Uwe Boll. They are making a game outta Conan, so the studios think that this will be a perfect fit. I will now follow Ranylt example, but instead of a Luger, I'm grabbing my .357 (blue steel, btw) and opening my mouth...

Kristen Bell has a new project in the works as well. A romantic comedy. From Disney studios. And it sounds about as appealing as battery-acid colonic. The logline for When in Rome...

Y'know, I think I saw this movie. It's called Gidget Goes to Rome, and it's about as appealing as KB's newest desperate attempt to hold onto her Veronica Mars glory.

Has anyone else seen the news that Christopher Eccleston's going to be Destro?

*sob*

Someone needs to tell George Cockcroft his 1971 novel "The Dice Man" just got ripped off. Basically its about a shrink bored with his life who decides to make all his decisions according to a random throw of a dice. Looks a lot like "Chaos Theory" Although I doubt there is a rape and murder scene in the movie...

How do you spell the sounds of me projectile vomiting?

BRRRWUUUUGGGHHHH-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE

But I can only speak for myself. That's how I sounded when I found out they were re-making Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone.

Has anyone else seen the news that Christopher Eccleston's going to be Destro?

That's nothing. Sienna Miller is listed as being the Baroness. Although Ray Park being Snake Eyes I can get behind...choreographed martial arts moves and a non-speaking, no-face showing part? Perfect.

After I read about KB's latest traitorous, backstabbing move (why Veronica? Why?!), I was thoroughly depressed and contemplating ODing on Tylenol with a tequila chaser. No one needs kidneys, right? Then I watched the Ryan Renolds trailer. I watched Blade 3 simply to see him shirtless and watch him make horribly staged quips while Wesley Snipes contemplated what exactly would be the most painful way to make him die. And this actually looks funny, therefore it will definitely be seen. Then I was spun back into 7th grade watching what probably is the equivalent to the fat kid who chased me around waving his hands like flailing boobs in gym class and kind of wanted to cry while I laughed my ass off. I'm conflicted.

Boo and AlexTO-huzzah for the Slither love! I force feed that movie to allll my friends.

Woah woah woah. Let's have the intellectual pliability to make a distinction between a financial imperative (like keeping your face known to fickle hollywood casting directors) and making artistic choices.
1. Kristen Bell is pretty damn intelligent in interviews - has a charm bordering on Nathan Fillion level.

Hypothesis: Now since VM wasn't exactly a financial hit for its networks I might be a reasonable idea that maybe KB isn't viewed as being financially viable by association.

Hypothesis 1 shitty project does not a shitty actor make:

1. Nathan Fillion - 2 guys a girl and a pizza place.

2. Heath Ledger - The patriot

3. Johnny Depp - Secret Window

4. Steve Martin - anything in the past 10 years

5. Bill Murray - Garfield

I could go on.

Let us forgo sucking on our own spite-dicks for a while and see how her career plays. I'm not saying this Disney shigella won't give us the cinematic equivalent of Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome. I'm just saying that this is to be expected for someone who wants to pay the bills and keep the career moving forward. Lord know you don't make friends with salad.

Bill Murray was in Garfield???

Socalled, I think you might be my new personal hero.

That's a good call, Austin. After all, she did try to do horror (Pulse) and scifi (Heroes). Hopefully, this is just a paycheck, and her next project actually bears witness to how cool she can be.

While the Maxim photo shoots surely give the sci-fi geekboys something to ponder when they put down their video game controllers and pick up their joysticks...

Best line of the day. I'll have to remember that one.

Also: Igby Goes Down is a great movie, so I will be cautiously optimistic about The Culkin brother's new movie.

Bill Murray was Garfield.

Wha...? Whaddya mean remaking "Get Carter"? Hold on, for real here... I'm confused. This was remade? Where the fuck was I? How did this slip... WHA?!!

I don't even vaguely remember this happening...

Alright, that settles it. I'm grabbing the keys for the MurderTank. First stop? Michael Caine's house. I'm sure he'd love letting loose with the quadruple-barreled shotguns I've rigged up to the bumpers...

Ah yes, socalled. Ahem:
Bhuuoogh. . . gwwehhmmff ... ghmmmff-ewgch . . ."when did I eat a button..." BRRRWUUUUGGGHHHH-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-GAAAHHHHHK, pffshtt, ptooie, ptooie . . . "kill Hollywood peeeoo..." BWAAGGLHECH bwugharglarf . . . BRRRWUUUUGGGHHHH-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE-UGGLE.
Phew. Thanks.

I sense a little Juno backlash.

GOOD! What would have been a "cute/pretty good" movie without all the praise has become this giant behemoth of hate-filled self-referential pop culture-soaked rusty metal spikes smashing orange and white striped pregnancy tests through my eyeballs.

Hey look, that's Sarah Chalke at the end of the Chaos Theory trailer!

And here I thought he only had to answer for Charlie's Angels?

Ooh, I hope Fake Becky get it ooohhhhnnnn with Ryan Reynolds.

That cemented my desire for this movie. I loooove me some Elliot.

I'll add my voice to the consensus that Chaos Theory looks worth watching. And I will watch it comfortable in the knowledge that that "Streak Ice" index card will provide the necessary shirtless Ryan Reynolds scene.

Miller's the Baroness?

Aw, fuck. What, is she character-inappropriate but a star power draw? Where does one get the rationale? Couldn't we at least get Claudia Black if not Emily Booth or Kate Magowan or Julie Strain? Linda Fiorentino? Hell, Fran Drescher? She'd rock the shit outta the costume. Better yet, put Lena Olin in there and make Dana Delany Lady Jaye, and you've got the good and evil of my id covered.

(I love you, Colleen McMurphy!)

To quote Jake Ryan's friend, Baroness is Wo-Man! If you're gonna disregard what the character's supposed to look like just go for it and cast Gina Torres. Now I feel really sorry for Christopher.

The "Facts" picture was mondo-confusing and at first glance I thought it portended news of a hideous movie version in the works starring Jessica Simpson as Blair and Rhianna as Tootie and Shirley McClaine as Mrs. Edna.

Shiver me timbers.

But no, I had to suffer the "Sex and Death 101" trailer to make the connection. Please Winona, hang it up. Veronica Sawyer was almost twenty years ago.

The first time I took notice of Ryan Reynolds was in "Blade:Trinity" (Hush your face; I have a soft spot for Blade.). He appeared shirtless and I said out loud, to the embarrassment of Mr. Pink, " WHO IS THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN?" My loins, however, were terribly confused with the strange combination of foxiness and a voice not dissimilar to that of Jason Lee.

Ever since, Ryan Reynolds has been my boyfriend. I even went to see that turd remake of "Amityville" for more shirtless RR action. So yes, my friend Chris and I (AKA the Ryan Reynolds Fan Brigade, Richmond chapter) will go see "Chaos Theory". Because like MG, the streaking scene has shirtless action potential.

And more love from this girlie for "Slither" because it was funny as shit.

And I still stand by my opinion that after shedding the Veronica Mars (Another Veronica character? Coincidence?) skin, Kristen Bell is a snarky, conceited bitch in real life with mild to moderate amounts of acting talent.

Alabama...my roommate and I sat through the first hour of Amityville SOLELY for the shirtless RR. The Pretty was almost too much to behold.

Actually I thought the third "Blade" was the most fun of them, and I rather enjoyed Ryan adding some personality. I liked what he said about never being able to enjoy his rippedness they'd trained him up for because he was always fucking sore from constantly having to work out.

I also have a soft spot for bookshop Beth and I permit her going brunette for Betty Brandt. Oh do I permit it. It wouldn't satisfy me, however, to have Howard and Dunst swap roles for natural hair color. Dunst just shouldn't be there. So, another vote for "Slither" and Capn Tightpants, but I've never seen "Veronica Mars" and think Kristen's eyes look weird. On the other hand I don't care what roles she takes either (but she's no Carrie Fisher).

Alabamapink...you've doomed us all. Somewhere, a movie exec has woken up from a pleasant dream (to us it would be a nightmare) and thought "I have a great idea for a new movie! A show that everybody remembers and nobody wants to touch! I'm brilliant!"

My reign will be bloody but glorious.

Fuck.

Sitting for three hours in a meeting of the NYS Commission on Real Property Taxation = missing out on Pajiba-sations.

Oh, and TK? Bring it.

This should be interesting, Dan...

As a little side note, I adored Snake Eyes. He was my favorite character (even better than Flint and Lady Jayne!) and probably set up my fixation on dark, silent and kick-ass martial artists. I love the quiet ones who can snap your neck in a wink...

Ok, I just admitted waaay too much. Sorry.

Am I allowed to say I had a huge crush on Jinx for the longest time? Smartass asian who was clumsily cute but still could kick your ass? Hello? Anybody out there?

Dan - be kind...stay thy ruthless hand! Won't anyone think of the children?! (baby Pajiba, I'm meaning, needs his daddy...you've seen what happens when people cannot stop pandering for the affection of their peers - they go to Hollywood!)

By the way - who is playing Duke in this fool concept of a flick?I once had quite a teenage dream about him. Line art lust! Strange but true...

By the way - who is playing Duke in this fool concept of a flick?
