First Look: Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio as 70s studs in Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’
I need this fucking movie. I need it now. I need it already, for fuck’s sake.

David Fincher and Brad Pitt confirmed for ‘World War Z’ sequel, the zombie apocalypse is gorgeous
David Fincher produces gorgeous films. Brad Pitt is gorgeous. The two of them will combine to give the world the most gorgeous zombie movie ever. (Don’t come at me with superior movies, I’m just being cute, okay.)
Brad Pitt wants David Fincher to direct ‘World War Z’ sequel
I liked the World War Z movie! Guilty, guilty. And, so, I’d love if David Fincher would help Brad Pitt make a sequel to the flick.
‘The Big Short’ Trailer: McKay’s movie on the Housing Crisis enlists Bale, Pitt, and Gosling
This movie has certainly come out of left field for me. Adam McKay and a bevy of sexy, talented actors are taking on the scumfucks and the 2008 Housing Crisis? Interesting. Interesting indeed. I’ll see it.
‘World War Z’ sequel dropping June 9, 2017
Were Bateman and I the only ones who dug the original World War Z? Like, it didn’t change my life. But I’ll totally fucking watch a sequel.
’12 YEARS A SLAVE’ TRAILER: Steve McQueen’s latest gets a theatrical teaser.
I haven’t seen any of Steve McQueen’s movies, though it is not out of lack of want. However, because of that I haven’t really kept tabs on the good sir and his efforts. You know who has? Eduardo Pluto, who was totally up my ass (I moaned a little, whatever) about this trailer dropping. So here it is.
Thoughts? Deep thoughts? Sociopolitical commentary? Ratings on the trailer, based on a one-through nineteen bags of popcorn scale?
Final ‘KILLING THEM SOFTLY’ Trailer: Shotgun therapy for all!
The marketing for this flick is letting it down. I know this before a commercial for it dropped last night during the Patriots’ assassination of the Jets and none of my friends knew anything about the movie. After watching it, they were intrigued, which lets me know there are legions of potentially-interested folk with no idea Killing Them Softly exists. Me? I got a fat chubby for the film. A chubby so tremendous it can only be relieved by mashing my mushroom off my keyboard. It works. But for a moment.
Brad Pitt Says He’ll Retire From Acting In Three Years. Tyler, No!
Despite the fact that he married one of Hollywood’s more annoying ladies (to me at least) and he has commodified children from other cultures with her, I enjoy Brad Pitt’s acting. If what he is saying is more than bluster, I won’t be for much longer.
OCTOBERFEAST – Se7en
[OCTOBERFEAST is the greatest celebration of the year, a revelry dedicated to pop-culture’s most nutritious Halloween detritus. Plastic screams and artificial sweeteners have never been more bountiful. In the old country, villagers refer to the extended party as Satan’s Snacktime]
As OCTOBERFEAST rages on and on and on, it’s easy to get lost. We’re in the midst of a flurry of decadence, bodies and morals gyrating to the ever-quickening pulse of dark-hearted celebration. This is the opportunity that must be taken, the chance to dive headfirst into all the temptations we must normally avoid. After all, if we allow our sins to take over our lives, a maniac-genius might just come by and kill us.
Thus is the premise of Se7en.
Tree of Life Owes Everything to Bill Paxton
Terrence Malick’s long-awaited wank-a-thon Tree of Life has been in select theaters for a few weeks now and will be getting a nationwide boost on July 8. As I’m writing this it’s 86% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. I saw it last Sunday and while I thought it was a stunning visual orgy, it didn’t really do much else for me. Especially Sean Penn. He’s one of my favorite dudes ever but his bits in the movie were pointless and his whole beach scene near the end is by far the cheesiest scene of 2011.
I’m not here to knock the enigmatic Malick or his new movie though. You should go see it in the theater if you have the chance. You’ll never see another film like it, that’s a Malick guarantee! But the movie got me and my girl thinking about another film. A similar yet superior film from a decade ago: Frailty. Directed by Bill Goddamn Paxton and written by Brent Hanley (who wrote the “Family” episode of Masters of Horror), Frailty is a southern-fried gothic thriller in which a fanatic father (Paxton) has visions that drive him to seek and kill “demons,” bringing his two young sons along for the ride. I admit, comparing these two films is like trying to draw concrete comparisons between The Wire and Everybody Loves Raymond, but Malick and Paxton’s tales of the south have more in common than you think. I might even smell some plagiarism…
