Heads Up: Sundance Shortslabs
23 May 2012 9:57 AM, PDT | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Strangely, the details of the 2012 Sundance ShortsLabs passed us by when they were announced a couple of weeks ago. (Particularly strange as both Scott and I are involved in panels at the NYC event in June!) So, I’m playing catch up now by posting the info on the workshops, including the first to be held in Seattle, which is currently undergoing an indie filmmaking renaissance.
So, from the press release, here’s the skinny on this year’s excellent events:
ShortsLabs offer filmmakers first-hand insight and access into the world of short filmmaking through panels and sessions with industry representatives, as well as Sundance Institute staff and alumni, on story development, production and exhibition of shorts. Featured participants for the series (vary by city) include Antonio Campos, Sarita Choudhury, Sean Durkin, Hal Hartley, Nicole Kassell, Josh Leonard, Brit Marling, Adepero Oduye, Nick Offerman and Lynn Shelton. Following the ShortsLab, »

Hey, South Park, Men in Black 3 Stole Your It Cycles in New Clip
2 May 2012 10:49 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Except, you know, there aren’t those devices that, uh, goes into you. (Hey, it still beats getting molested by the Tsa at airports.) Other than that? It looks like whoever wrote Barry Sonnenfeld’s “Men in Black 3″ had a little inspiration one night while watching an old episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s “South Park”, and decided to incorporate Mr. Garrison’s little invention into a chase scene in the sci-fi sequel. I could be wrong, of course. Take a look at a new clip from “Men in Black 3″, which finds Will Smith traveling back into the past to team up with a younger Agent K (now played by Josh Brolin) in order to save the present day from an impending alien invasion. As with the previous two “Men in Black” films, expect plenty of goofy aliens, some shockingly obvious CG, and Will Smith being Will Smith. »

Aspen Shortsfest Turns 20: Watch 5 of the Best Films They've Ever Shown
13 April 2012 4:51 PM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Over the past two decades, Aspen Shortsfest has hosted an astonishing roster of now-famous filmmakers. For the 20th Annual Aspen Shortsfest, which began April 10 and ends on the 15th, Indiewire spoke to festival artistic director Laura Thielen and program director George Eldred about the delight of discovering diamonds in the rough. Looking back to the festival’s early years, who were some of the filmmakers that stood out? Thielen: This morning I went through some of the old catalogues and saw that in 1992, the festival showed about 20 films in two programs. And one of the filmmakers in that list was Nicole Holofcener with a five-minute short called “Angry.” In 1993, we had “Season of the Lifterbees,” a 29-minute film by Eugene Jarecki. Also that year was the first time we showed a short by Trey Parker. In 1994, we had a short called “Ice Cream” by Louis Ck. You see these filmmakers »

Blu-ray Review: Inconsistent ‘South Park: The Complete Fifteenth Season’
12 April 2012 4:33 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – They were likely distracted by the massive success of “The Book of Mormon” (and basically admit as much on the spectacular documentary “6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park,” included on this release), but the fifteenth season of Comedy Central’s often-brilliant “South Park” was a bit of a rollercoaster ride in terms of quality. There were still some brilliant episodes like the season premiere, “Humancentipad,” which merges Apple’s Terms of Service with “The Human Centipede,” but there are were some outings this year that just didn’t work.
Blu-ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
Having said that, sub-par “South Park” is still better than a lot of television options. It’s amazing how often the show can find that brilliant vein of social satire that has made it one of the most important programs of the last two decades. In fact, it’s quite arguable that “South Park” in its »

South Park: The Complete Fifteenth Season
12 April 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
South Park has always pushed the envelope of what is and isn’t acceptable in a social commentary cartoon, and occasionally that puts them at odds with network censors. The most recent occurrence was in the fourteenth season when Comedy Central bleeped an entire episode’s resolution because it featured the Prophet Muhammad in an animal costume. It was a breaking point of sorts: Trey Parker and Matt Stone made their objections known and it seemed like maybe they were getting tired of the song and dance of weekly television. With the fifteenth season, the duo put out a two-part story that saw Stan growing weary of the world around him, and the aftermath has carried through to the present season. Otherwise, the fifteenth season’s episodes are still hit-or-miss, but this time around when the episodes hit, they’re superb, and the misses are still amusing just not laugh-out-loud funny. »

South Park: The Complete Fifteenth Season Blu-ray Review
10 April 2012 12:20 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
For the fifteenth season of South Park, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were coming off of the opening of their Broadway show The Book of Mormon, which was a huge hit. And when they went into their summer hiatus of that season with a cliffhanger episode that showed a huge shift in the characters, there was a sense that they might be done with the show. After all, the two had been doing it for so long, and – as with almost every season – their hit to miss ratio has always been noticeable. They had no intention of quitting, however, and we’re going to keep getting South Park. Sometimes they’re great, sometimes they’re one-note, but most episodes offer a number of big laughs. Our review of the Fifteenth Season of South Park on Blu-ray follows after the jump. The season opens with the weakest episode of that year. »

17 Best 'South Park' Songs
10 April 2012 5:02 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Music has always been a big part of "South Park." Long before "The Book Of Mormon" came out, Trey Parker and Matt Stone made "Cannibal! The Musical" and wrote songs every week for Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny, so it's no surprise that they've had so much success in the musical world (the "South Park" movie was a musical, too).
With that in mind, we went through the massive South Park archives and picked out our 17 favorite songs from the show's 16 seasons. Vote for your favorites, and if you have a favorite song that didn't make the list, let us know in the comments!

Cinematic Reunion: Ethan Makes the Call for Five Big Screen Returns
5 April 2012 12:54 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
As the release of American Reunion is right upon is, it seems fitting that other comedic ensembles are returning in the form of an Anchorman sequel and a Dumb & Dumber sequel, which could even end up shooting this September. And while other blasts from the past include follow-ups to Midnight Run, there are several other big screen reunions that I'm much more keen on seeing come together. Now this is by no means an assembly of the best and most desired returns to the big screen, but my personal picks of certain movies with recognizable groups or duos that I would absolutely love to see back in theaters again. Here are my Top 5 picks of big screen returns, inspired by the new American Reunion, that I'd love to see. South Park - When Trey Parker and Matt Stone brought their foul-mouthed fourth graders to the big screen in 1999, it »

'Dumb & Dumber 2' Is Happening, Says Director
2 April 2012 10:31 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
For a while, it seemed like a sequel to the 1994 hit comedy "Dumb & Dumber" was one out of a hundred, or even one out of a million. But it turned out there was a chance. And at a junket for "The Three Stooges," the original film's co-director Peter Farrelly said that not only is a sequel set to go into production this September, but original stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels will reprise their roles as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne.
According to ComingSoon.net, who broke the story, Farrelly was clear about the reality of the sequel. "We're getting set to shoot 'Dumb & Dumber 2' in September," he told the website. "It's the first sequel we've ever done and we've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back."
But wait: wasn't there already a sequel to "Dumb & Dumber," the completely forgettable "Dumb and Dumberer" that detailed the origin story of Harry and Lloyd? »

Gavin Creel to Star in 'The Book of Mormon' National Tour
29 March 2012 2:25 AM, PDT | backstage.com | See recent Backstage news »
Gavin Creel is slated to star in “The Book of Mormon’s” first national tour, which kicks off this summer in Denver. The show’s producers announced on Thursday that Creel, a two-time Tony nominee, will play the lead role of Elder Price. “The Book of Mormon” has gained huge popularity since it opened on Broadway last March, winning nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, known for their hit TV show “South Park,” and Robert Lopez, who co-created “Avenue Q," the musical tells the story of two Mormon missionaries attempting to convert Ugandans to Mormonism. “Elder Price is an amazing role,” Creel said in a statement. “I am so excited to take ‘The Book of Mormon’ across the country.”According to Parker, who, with Casey Nicholaw, is also one of the show’s co-directors, casting the role of Elder Price was not an easy task. »

Can We Talk About The Ridiculous Song At The End Of Legend?
28 March 2012 12:10 PM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »
I watched the Tom Cruise 80s fantasy movie Legend this week for the first time since reaching the age of being cognizant-of-things, and while I fully braced myself for its ridiculousness, hoooo-leyyy crap it did not disappoint. I vaguely recalled the film being a bizarre entrant in the wave of “80s fantasy films for kids but kind-of not really for kids,” and remembered Tim Curry as Basically Satan, but my memory ended there. You’d think it goes without saying, but the film is Loaded with awesomely nonsensical aspects: The whole film is about 20 minutes long, Tom Cruise plays a ‘kid’ but looks the same as he does now, the film opens with like 9 paragraphs of slow-scrolling text that sets up about 7 different absurd rules about the world of the film (evil can’t touch earth as long as these two unicorns are around, but also there’s no light »

The Book of Mormon will celebrate its one-year anniversary on Saturday, and the nine-time Tony winner is still selling more than 100 percent of its seats.
