So, my three readers, something horrible happened recently.
I had all these ideas for cool things to do after Reader’s Choice and I was supposed to sit down and do a movie review tonight, but I find I just cannot focus properly.
My copy of The Hunt For Red October has gone MIA.

A Letter to Tarantino on Self-Control
Posted in Mockery, Movies In General, tagged Eli Roth, Inglorious Bastards, Quentin Tarantino, wrongness on August 7, 2008 | No Comments »
Dear Quentin,
This is like… the second letter I’ve written you. It’s not good when I write you letters, is it?
THEN LET’S STOP DOING SILLY THINGS, SHALL WE? Casting Eli Roth in Inglorious Bastards? Really?
Have you lost your ever-loving mind?
Don’t get me wrong. I know you and Eli are all buddy-buddy. You probably watch movies together [...]

Look, I know why remakes get made - the almighty dollar. I get it. Well, in some ways I do and in some ways, I don’t. But for the love of all in this world that is sunshine and rainbow-y goodness, can we not leave some things alone? Can’t [...]

Posted in Mockery, Movies In General, tagged Twilight, Twilight movie on July 30, 2008 | 12 Comments »
I see a lot of confusion in the movie blogosphere about the upcoming movie Twilight, based off of the popular book series by Stephenie Meyer. Twilight fans are a hardcore little group, and the amount of internet buzz they’ve helped generate for the movie is insane. But…your rank and file movie [...]

Gentlemen, I apologize profusely. Your condolence cards for being left off of the first post are in the mail and shall be arriving shortly.
JOHN CUSACK - Even with Must Love Dogs and crap of that ilk, I still love Cusack. Mainly for Grosse Pointe Blank and things of that nature. I always feel iffy on [...]

Soooo, my dearests, Piper over at Lazy Eye Theatre (I seem to be mentioning Piper quite a bit lately, no?) tagged me for the 12 Movies Meme, where the rules are as follows:
1) Choose 12 Films to be featured. They could be random selections or part of a greater theme. Whatever you want.
2) Explain why [...]

You know, I’m all for liking actors who are immensely talented because they’re immensely talented…but every so often, you just have to go with the gut reaction, “Mmm, pretty”. It’s not reasonable, sure, but it’s part of why some actors are cast. And if you’re me, you go for the ones that everyone else is [...]

Okay, dearests.
If you have been keeping up with movies lately via this magic thing we call “the Internet”, then surely you know that the Patron Saint of Profanity and Hilariously Inappropriate Music During Sequences That Make You Cry, a/k/a one Mr. Quentin Tarantino, has managed to have his script for Inglorious Bastards leaked to, apparently, [...]

TAKEN (September 19th)
What’s odd is that for a movie hitting in September, I had a difficult time finding a poster (quoi?! I know, right) but I did find this trailer, which makes me much happier, actually. Liam Neeson is a dad that sends his 17 year old daughter off to Paris for [...]

Here on 1,416 and Counting I normally do old movies. They usually haven’t been in a theater in years. However, this doesn’t mean I don’t keep up on new movies; it’s just that some of them (like Beverly Hills Chihuahua) strike me as not worth my time, suicide-inducing or a movie you [...]
