Ah, this round-up brings back memories. It seems just a few years ago, I was in the theatre to see Rush Hour 2 with my little brother, pondering beating myself senseless with my oversized coke cup and cursing my father for making me take the brat.

Be Kind, Rewind looks fabulous, even if it was driving me insane to figure out who the other lead was (Ah, hi, Mos Def. You don't look like Don Cheadle at all.)

Trump's House of Wings!

I love you right now.

I'm pretending Rush Hour 3 (and 2, for that matter) is simply a fever dream brought on by a lack of vitamins. I'm sure tha after a nice healthy lunch, everything will be ok.

Everything will be ok.

Someone, anyone, please tell me everything will be ok?

Oh, God...

*sob*

On the bright side, Mos Def! Sweet!

Ratner brain? Classic.

Minsweeper: The Movie? There are no words for this. None.

I have seen Rush Hour 2 and all I could think was, "Jackie, seriously? I loved you in all of your Hong Kong Kung Fu movies and now you give me this?" (I have a weakness for Jakcie Chan's early work, which will likely be forgotten for crap like RH3.)

Best of Luck to you Dustin. Ratner is enough to reduce anyone to a walking stereotype from one of his movies.

Secretary did have an amazing sex scene. Thanks IFC for confirming it and here I thought I was a deviant.

Gondry's new film looks great. Good to see Danny Glover is still working.

Lars looks fantastic. Can't. Wait.

The only way I would consider seeing Rush Hour 3 is if Johnny Drama was actually playing a Parisian bus driver in it like Ratner promised.

Can I get confirmation?

C'mon now. I just. I just can't take a yikes for The Unbearable Likeness of Being.

I was young. I was foolish. It was arty porny. It was Daniel Day Lewis. I was the kind of teenager who listened to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and read Shakespeare's tragedies for fun and and only wore black lace and Daniel Day Lewis was my God.

And it got me reading Kundera which lead me to The Joke, a novel every person alive should read.

And Juliette Binoche was a good actor once upon a time and I wish I had Lena Olin's legs.

Dustin, The Cheadle, like many others, has his movie role hiccups as well. I believe his new clout can survive a three minute cameo. Plus, he got to fight Jackie Chan and not lose. So, there's that.

Chris Tucker is the only person that makes me miss Owen Wilson. At least Wilson knows not to open his trap when Jackie Chan is trying to kill himself again.

Dammit, why do they have to make me see Superbad even more? Jonah, even though it was staged, I know the fake frustration you feel, man.

Is that Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) as the "Brit reporter"? That is great!

"The team owner will be played by Jessica Alba.."

OH....awwww NO THEY DIDN'T

Lars and the Real Girl looks brilliantly stupid.
I did love to see it however.
It seems like Ryan Gosling turns it round beautifully.

i thought it was edgar wright who interviewed the guys from superbad. It was fucking funny .

Actually there's a documentary on guys who have weird relationships with their Real Dolls here

Pretty creepy.

I can't watch trailers because my old computer is powered by a gerbil, a discarded Coke can, and some Triple As. That said, LARS... sounds a lot like 'Gogol's Wife'. Are any blow-up babies going to get pitched in the fire? Is anyone going to get the blow-up syph?

Jessica 'I'm not half Latina, I'm white, I'm white' I'm white! That's why I look so natural with blue eyes and blonde hair. Because I'm white. Don't say I'm part Latina! DON'T!!! I know my father is Mexican, so what? I'm still WHITE. WHITE!!!!!!!!!' Alba should have to shoot her own dog. My earwax is more talented.

Now why did you go and tarnish Barney Miller by suggesting that Brett Ratner could watch and understand it?

What ever became of the Mike Myers biopic about Keith Moon? IMDB says it's not coming out til 2009--but wasn't if filmed like a year ago?

This is a bit off topic, but I gleaned some information from a friend of mine that the Pajiba nation needs to know. Through her job, my friend engaged in a conversation with somebody high up at Geico. In the course of their conversation, Geico Man admitted that they are actually hoping that the Caveman show with get cancelled. The reason? So that Geico can run a fresh new series of ads revolving around the Caveman failing at something new.
Hollywood is gonna eat itself but good.

--Donald Trump's House of Wings
Did you mean house of wigs?

I think they picked the sex scene in Don't Look Now because it's so damn long. Donald Sutherland's ass isn't that bad, though.

I went to a theater to see Rush Hour 2 because of my undying love for Jackie Chan. I'll end up watching this one on TBS, no doubt. The Rush Hour films are hardly the worst movies he's made, so I don't feel too disappointed.

Wow. Lars looks...embarrassingly bad.

Where's the love for "Don't Look Now"? Please see it. It's wonderfully creepy. And yes, that scene deserves #1, because it's sexy as hell, and real, and is important at that point in the film.

Nate, if you're NOT joking, let me paraphrase this brilliant SNL skit:
(Seth, Amy, Maya and Horatio?! in chicken suits, complete with yellow tights, rockin' the shit out of the choreography. To the tune of "Jump")

"His Chicken Wings will make you happy!"
"Trump!"
"Eat the Celery it's good for you"
"Trump!"
"You want bleu cheese, it costs you extra!"

"Hey chickens, you're FRYERED."

I hope that cleared nothing up.

SUPERBAD is amazing. We got to see an advanced screening and I thought it was far superior to KNOCKED UP. Oh and Michael Cera hugged an audience member and sang the thong song. Squeeee.

I know this sounds crazy, but I actually want to see Rush Hour 3. No, RH2 wasn't very good, but I have a serious weakness for Chris Tucker. I still get hysterical whenever I watch Friday. I'll say this much: I'll take Rush Hour 3 over "Are We Done Yet?" any day of the week.

Can't really get into the Lars trailer b/c I'm at work and can't hear it. But I'm looking forward to seeing Gosling do comedy.

Scrap Horatio, it's Keenan.

my college horror film prof (yes, i took a class on horror film) used to say that the scariest thing in "don't look now" is donald sutherland's hair. the sex scene, however, is pretty phenomenal. i would give IFC a virtual high five if they didn't keep crashing my internet explorer.

I appreciate that you managed to use "Capraesque" to describe a movie about a man's love for a blow-up doll. Somewhere, Jimmy Stewart's ghost is wondering why he never got to play a part like that.

Brit reporter? Isn't that Edgar Wright? Director of "Shaun of the Dead"?

It is worth noting that the other half of the
couple in "Don't Look Now" is Julie Christie.

And, she is hot.

Yes, that is Edgar Wright. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who noticed that (but then I read the comments, don't worry). I am really, really looking forward to Superbad.

Ok that Jack Black/Mos Def trailer looks awesome. I may want to be drunk when I see it but I love both of those guys so much! And I am looking forward to that Stardust review just because I am so dang curious to see how you guys responded(as the book was quite fun and I'd like to see the film but I also want it to not suck first).

The Superbad clip is good, but rest assured - it's peanuts compared to the profane hysteria that the movie achieved. We caught a sneak preview up here in Portland on Tuesday and, if the theatre response is any indication, they got a hit on their hands.

The Judge - I sure hope you're talking about Portland, Maine, because I'm going to be pretty disappointed that I didn't somehow hear about a screening in Portland, Oregon. Damn!

Michael Cera is so awesome. It makes me squeal with delight when such talented, and seemingly nice actors get the recognition they deserve. Hopefully fame won't ruin him and he'll continue to be in many more quality TV shows and movies to come.

I'm also watching Rush Hour 2 in advance -- hey, if Brett Ratner can multitask while directing his movies (clearly, he's doing his taxes, bedding a blonde with caulk a cock in her chest past and genes and a surgically retightened constructed hoo-ha

Fixed that for you. Between Ratface admitting that he lost his virginity to a tranny and his dalliance with Ms. Williams we're pretty sure that Eddie Murphy and Lee Tamahori aren't the only ones who cruise Boy's Town on Hollywood Boulevard.

katy - Well, technically the Regal Cinemas in Tigard, but yes, Oregon.

They had to turn people away (the passes did say you weren't guaranteed a seat) and I would estimate four to five moms and dads escorting 10-12 year olds out the back door inside of the first three minutes. And while I don't blame them for herding toward the exit . . . I don't quite get where your brain is at bringing a 10 year old to an R-rated flick created by this group of people. I mean, you KNOW what you're in for, right?

"The team owner will be played by Jessica Alba.."

Um....I got kind of lost after reading this because of the asphyxia by laughter. Is this sort of like Cameron Diaz owning a football team? Oh Hollywood, you slay me.

Is it bad that I've been boycotting Jack Black (and Gwyneth Paltrow)since Shallow Hal? Also, the Farrelly Brothers.

Haven't seen a movie, television show, guest appearance, interview - anything.

If you're going to hold a grudge you should really commit, no?

How come Michael Cera didn't make it into Pajiba's sexiest people list? That's all I'm going to say.

That Minesweeper (fake?) trailer had me cracking up. I just gotta say, if it's a real movie, I'd totally see it.

And yay for Michael Cera :)
