Why I’m Going to Avoid the Trailers for Super 8, and Why You Should Too

There are few films I’m currently more excited about than Super 8 . J.J. Abrams’ ode to ’70s-era Spielberg, James Horner’s Cocoon soundtrack , and Coach Taylor seems — to these tired eyes — to be the one “must-see-now-please” film of the summer. Take your Thors and Captain Americas and cowboys and aliens; give me the mystery of Abrams and his lens flare. This excitement is why you can expect me to ignore every future trailer for Super 8 from here on out. And it’s why you probably should as well.

Lester Andrist (of The Sociological Cinema ) sent in a clip by Feminist Frequency’s Anita Sarkeesian. She looks at the way that the movies that are rewarded with Oscars tend to be highly centered around male characters and male-dominated plots.

Is Viggo Mortensen The Big Bad For The New Superman Movie?

We’ve already heard rumors that Kevin Costner might be joining the cast of the new Superman as Pa Kent, but now The Hollywood Reporter says that Viggo Mortensen is being eyed as a potential villain for the movie. Will he be Zod? Braniac? And where does this fit in with all the billions of other casting rumors ? And how sad will we all be once Batman and Superman finalize all their casting? So many questions.

Billy Burke on His ‘Tasty’ Turn in Drive Angry 3D and the Red Riding Hood/Twilight Connection

Twilight fans who flock to see Drive Angry 3D this weekend in support of Billy Burke are in for a bit of a surprise, as the actor — who plays the calm, mustachioed father to Kristen Stewart’s Bella in Summit’s Twilight Saga films — swaggers his way through the South as a sexually-charged Satanic cult leader. To put it plainly, Burke’s Jim Jones-meets-Jim Morrison villain gives co-star Nicolas Cage a run for his money in the anti-subtlety department, and Burke clearly relished every second of the departure from Charlie Swan.

VIDEO: Latest Oscar Promo Turns Anne Hathaway Into a ‘Rump Shaker’

James Franco and Anne Hathaway (and the ABC promo department) have done well in creating a sense of guarded optimism about the job the pair will do hosting the Oscars on Sunday night. Which is why you should think twice before watching the latest promo for the show. No, it’s not romantic and beautiful, like the 19 seconds of the Grease parody that James Franco sent out to Twitter on Wednesday; it’s awkward and cringe-worthy. Unless the idea of seeing Anne Hathaway-as-Madonna-as-Evita singing “Rump Shaker” is your idea of a party. Then, watch away! Popping and locking at your desk is optional.
