Facebook Movie Parody; YouTube's Bloody Origins
n this chilling parody of the trailer for the upcoming Facebook movie The Social Network, we learn just how ruthless YouTube's founders were. They threw punches, made threats—even Keyboard Cat was in the line of fire.Blame Jeff Loveness, the Jimmy Kimmel intern who threw the movie-trailer parody together. Chad Hurley, the YouTube-co-founder depicted in the satire, complains only that he looked entirely different when downing Johnny Walker Black and ruthlessly demanding a fresh supply of adorable online babies. This YouTube trailer actually kind of looks like a more interesting than the Facebook movie. Ben Mezrich, your next book is staring you in the face.

70's Gore Classic, revamped w/ an NR rating.
This rape revenge classic sociopoliticaly shifted the woman's liberation movement into full gear while simultaneously causing a drop in pimp clients and a dip in the economic stability of the New York prostitution biz, circa 1979. So goes the checks and balances ofthe underground commerce markets and their dependence on the fickle whims of it's media-driven audiences.
Good to see a film release that's more of an "adult drama" without a PG-13 rating anywhere in sight.
Judging by upcoming releases 2011-2012, it could be a trend towards more "mature" media being released.
In this respect, The Wachowski Brothers (Bound, The Matrix, Speed Racer) are sure to step in time as
they are developing a film about a homosexual relationship between a U.S. military guy and an Iraqi man. Whoa. Shit is about to get deep.
Can you roll with it?

Dear Hollywood...WTF?
Dear Hollywood...WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
You used to be so cool. You gave us a reason to pay hard-earned money to be entertained...losing ourselves in a fantastic tale of love or terror or suspense, for a little while before returning back to a dull, dreary life. Now you are just as dull and dreary as our 9 to 5, or as exciting as suburban housework.
What happened? Where's all the fresh, original content that kept us going back again and again. Not all of us knows video game or comic book characters. Something fresh & new would be nice.
Why do you insist on dumbing down your product? Despite what you think we are not stupid. We may have strange habits like following what's popular and letting a couple of people dictate what happens in our lives, but overall, we're pretty intelligent folk. Please. Easy on the groin kicks & fart jokes.
Our ability to retain memory is not as bad as you think. We remember old movies and wish not to see them (and pay for them) again. "Friday The 13th", "Nightmare On Elm Street" & "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" are examples of features that should remain in the Hollywood Hall of fame.
What's that? You say that current remakes are for the next generation of moviegoer, whose attention span is too short to appreciate the cinematic style of older films? Oh. OK. That must explain the heavy dose of CGI and other camera "shake" effects on every project that comes out of you these days. Whatever. I guess I could pick up some Dramamine before I go to the theater.
We are getting tired of the same old ideas. Where are the new superstars? The new visionaries? The new studios? If you're hiding them, set them free. Give them a chance to dazzle us based on what we MIGHT like, instead of what we have liked before. Take a chance on 'em. You can't win if you don't gamble. And judging by the Summer 2010 box office, you're playing it safe and STILL losing.
Sincerely,
James Avatar

Swedish vampire flick remake; "Let Me In" teaser/trailer
For those of who have been waiting for the American remake of the Swedish vampire flick "Let The Right One In" about a troubled boy-meets-bloodsucking girl, here it is. The International teaser/trailer was released today. The original put "Twilight" to shame. This one looks to do the same.
