The new Alice In Wonderland trailer makes me miss Dante Basco
7 hours ago
Just in time for the release of Avatar, Disney is releasing this new trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland so that we can be reminded that after James Cameron changes movies forever, there will still be movies (but from now on I think they’re going to make it illegal to make a film that isn’t full of incredibly lush visuals or filmed in the “so early 2009″ two-dimensional photography):
Okay, I’m sure I was the only one living under a rock, but I hadn’t seen any of the previous Alice trailers and knew nothing about it other than the fact that Johnny Depp has been rocking some serious glam-meets-Carrot-Top make up on the poster in the hallway at South Lamar for a few months now. Watching this, though, I finally realized: This is a whole new story, with a new return to Wonderland? No one tells me anything!

The Youngest Michael Jackson Fans Still Sing His Praise

As I’ve been building the Action Pack’s Nye Sing-Along for our show at the Ritz, I’ve been putting a lot of thought into the biggest moments in pop culture that happened this year. The biggest, clearly, was the passing of the King of Pop. But as this video of children born in 2000 makes clear, his music is clearly going to live on in the next generation, so his immortality is guaranteed.
To some kids, it even seems like Mj is the new Raffi. Check out this two year old singing Heal the World:
How can you not want to make it a better place, just for her??
This kid doesn’t get into the singing aspect of it, but that’s only because He Feels Mj’s Music Too Deeply:
At the very end of that it looks like maybe he’s acting so his parents will keep giving him attention,

David Edelstein wants what Panic is smoking.
20 hours ago
I’m a big fan of David Edelstein. He’s smart, perceptive and usually steers me in the right direction. I’m pleased with myself when my personal tastes align with his. He just posted an article on some of the year-end releases with oscar potential and issued a rave about the Fantastic Fest Audience Award Winner A Town Called Panic:
“The Belgian animated feature, A Town Called Panic, plays as if one day its directors, Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar, smoked very strong hashish and stumbled on a chest of old plastic toys—a little cowboy and an Indian in a headdress, a horse, some cows and pigs and a farmer (and his wife), and piles of other bric-a-brac—and free-associated a demented scenario against cutout scenery about roommates Cowboy and Indian wanting 50 bricks for a barbecue for Horse’s birthday and accidentally ordering 50 million and wrecking their house

New Robin Hood trailer features lots of yelling, very few tights
15 December 2009 2:10 PM, PST
The Original Robin Hood, now being remade by Ridley Scott
I assume they’re wearing tights, but the camera never holds on their legs long enough for me to see if these men are in tights or not…
Also, while we can clearly see arrows being let go in slow motion, the trailer for the new Ridley Scott Robin Hood does not show any firey arrows flying at my face in slow motion At All. What does that mean for the quality of the movie? Probably nothing, but I’m in my 30s, so I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Prince Of Thieves (which is probably why I play Everything I Do at every Love Bites Sing-Along).
Other people on the web are making fun of the trailer because it looks pretty much exactly like Gladiator (except with a forest instead of Roman architecture), and yeah,
