I’m going to out crazy Ashley and Tigs with this one. I usually think about my fake movie fridays when I’m going to bed. I came up with this one when I was visiting my brother on the west coast, I was jet lagged and had visited a bunch of wineries, so I ended up thinking about stuff and then continued to think about my fake movie in my dream. So basically this is a drunken dream.

So I haven’t made anything really senseless in a while so I wanted to make a road trip film about Food Truck purveyors and the adventure to get the prime location.
Truck U opens on John Martin’s famous Food Truck, “Food N Things.” John is played by an irish accented Alec Baldwin. He is seen as somewhat of a legend in the food truck industry. He’s been slinging all types of foods for years and all the other food trucks and carts look at him as a god. He’s got the best location in all of NYC, right in the middle of Times Square. We see in a few interviews everyone loves him, so obviously he’s about to die. He dies and this sends a ripple through the food truckers, but it also opens the opportunity for one of the other food trucks to take over his location. The way this world works, the only way you can get to work out of a dead truckers location is to compete in a cross country food truck race where you have to not only make the most profit, but also win the race. So that’s the back story.

A new Poster for The Word’s End was just posted. It’s pretty cool, but honestly it could have just been text that said “A Film By Edgar Wright” and I’d buy a ticket.

It looks like this poster is a Comic Con exclusive. It’s beautiful, and it is making me way too impatient for summer of next year. I really wish I was going to Comic Con on Friday, apparently Del Toro is signing these bad boys at 2pm, curses!

So we are finally post Night of the Living Dead. Tombs of the Blind Dead is the first of the Blind Dead series and has three sequels, all pretty decent flicks. The zombies in this one have a cool backstory- in the middle ages, the Knights Templar begin using black magic in an attempt to gain eternal life, they were killed for their crimes and crows ate their eyes out, they of course are resurrected and start to kill. It’s a great series, but unfortunately, just like a lot of other 70s grindhouse movies, it contains a lot of rape. Other than that, it is totally worth checking out.
I need to see this movie more than anyone will ever know. The second trailer makes me feel even more like it’s the reparation-based film I’ve been waiting for my whole life!
It looks like everyone involved in this film is having the best time ever whilst filming it. Leonardo DiCaprio will probably finally get his Oscar. Maybe.
Check it:
‘Man with the Iron Fists’ isn’t even out yet but RZA is looking for his next film. For a rapper coming off making a crazy kung-fu movie the best thing to do next is to team up with one of the headiest comic creators out there, Grant Morrison.
Morrison recently began the series ‘Happy’ with artist Darick Robertson. What starts as a seemingly normal story of a hard boiled former cop who gets shot and starts seeing a tiny blue flying horse.
This is perfect for RZA. Morrison is reportedly working on the script
Enjoy this trailer. Hopkins and Mirren seem to have great chemistry and will be the ones to look to carry this movie.
Back in 1981 when Disney was in the “dark ages” and creatively bankrupt, they made a live-action comedy/adventure film called Condorman. It was about a cartoonist who inexplicably became a superhero. This is what it looked like:
This film was one of my least favorite movies ever growing up. It was one of the few movies for kids I would rather turn the TV off than watch. Leave it to the powers that be at the Mouse House to reboot this into a big-budget franchise.
I’ve stopped asking “Why?” It serves no purpose. We all know that studios believe that SOME recognition is better than a completely new idea, and if you already have the rights to something, hell, you’re pretty much done. Disney has aggressively been going after the young male demo for the last few years with mixed results. For every Avengers and Wreck-It Ralph, we get John Carter or Mars Needs Moms. I have a feeling whatever they do with Condorman is going to be pure ass.
