To 'Room 237' and Beyond: Exploring Stanley Kubrick's 'Shining' influence with Christopher Nolan, Edgar Wright, more

6 April 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

It was 45 years ago this weekend that Stanley Kubrick gave us 2001: A Space Odyssey, a vision of the future that still beckons, even if the title is out of date. Something similar can be said about the extraordinary artist who made the masterpiece. History tells us that Kubrick died in 1999 at the age of 70, but our current pop culture tells us that his singular genius remains relevant and challenging to those who make movies, those who consume movies, and those who write about movies for a living. We see homages to The Shining in NBC’s new horror drama »

Over 60 Pictures from Hero Complex’s Weapon of Choice Gallery Show in Los Angeles

12 January 2013 7:41 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Last night, the Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles premiered their new exhibition "Weapon of Choice" and it was loaded with cool artwork "inspired by prominent characters of fiction, historical reference, or pop culture, and their relationship with their iconic weapon."   Last week, Scott wrote a preview of the exhibition in Limited Paper, but with the show opening, I decided to stop by and take pictures of everything on display and it's definitely worth checking out.  In addition, later today Hero Complex will be "dropping" what's still available on their website, so if you see something you like you can pick it up.  Keep in mind, everything for sale is very limited, so don't wait too long to purchase.  Hit the jump for the pics.

‘Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid’ – Peckinpah’s Revisionist Masterpiece?

4 January 2013 10:12 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid

Directed by Sam Peckinpah

Written by Rudy Wurlitzer

1973, USA

Sam Peckinpah was not an easy man to get along with at the best of times and the battles he faced in making Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, now widely considered as amongst the top dozen Westerns ever made, are legendary even by his standards. Peckinpah wanted his name taken off the film after a distraught MGM instructed the half-dozen editors (probably a world record by the films release in 1973) allocated to the film to hack the footage into something more straightforward and to their minds more marketable, reducing the run time to under two hours and most crucially shaving off the pathos riven, 1908 set bookends of the film, these bridging buttresses detailing the final fate of one of the titular characters in light of the main narrative tragedy.
