Weekly Whedon: Bored? Try A 'Buffy' Book!
25 May 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Tami Katzoff
Do an amazon.com search for books with the words “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” in the title, and you get more than 1,500 results. Aside from novels and comics, there are official and unofficial show guides, books on “Buffy” and philosophy, “Buffy” and psychology, “Buffy” and religion, and at least one “Buffy” songbook.
There are old books and new books. One of the newest is called “The Gentleviewer’s Obsessive Guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” by Kathleen Mattson. As the title suggests, the author, who owns a technical marketing company in Portland, Oregon, is an obsessive viewer of the show. She is, in fact, “a little obsessive about everything.”
Mattson came to “Buffy” a bit late, after first being a fan of “Firefly.” Once she was hooked, she started to diligently gather data. “I’d be watching an episode and I’d keep careful note of which »

Kickstarter Is People!
6 May 2012 9:20 PM, PDT | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
A filmmaker asked me, “Do you think I can raise $400,000 on Kickstarter?” I told her that that sounded like a lot. Start-up technology companies using Kickstarter as, essentially, a customer-financed pre-buy platform, are raising in the seven figures. But $400,000 would be on the high-end of a feature film raise. Blue Like Jazz raised about $350,000, and that was based on a New York Times best-seller. Koo did great with Man-Child, scoring about $125,000, but he spent a couple years seeding his campaign by building an audience at No Film School.
But as I was talking, I realized the question really is, how big is your network? After all, Kickstarter is not a funder, an entity; to borrow a line from Soylent Green, “Kickstarter is people!”
So, how many people do you know? How many friends, and then how many friends of friends? When you send out a fundraising plea, how far will it ripple? »

Suits: Season One (DVD)
The new original series Suits delves into the fast-paced, highstakes world of a top Manhattan corporate law firm where hotshot attorney Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) makes a risky move by hiring the brilliant but unmotivated, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), as his new associate. The only problem is he doesn’t have an actual law degree. With his encyclopedic knowledge and uncanny knack of remembering things, Mike proves to be a legal prodigy despite the absence of bonafide legal credentials. Bound by their secret, »

Laura Prudom: 'Supernatural' Recap: Felicia Day Gets Her Geek On
28 April 2012 7:02 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 7, Episode 20 of The CW's "Supernatural," entitled "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo."
It's "Supernatural" custom to follow emotionally heavy episodes with lighter installments, but in the right hands, even an episode laden with humor can propel the mythology forward. Such was the case with the witty, quippy "Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo," confidently scripted by Robbie Thompson.
Thompson has fast distinguished himself as the Mvp of Season 7's writing staff -- though he's a newcomer this year, he's already written two of the strongest episodes of the season: "Slash Fiction" and the phenomenal time-travel story "Time After Time." Ably assisted by first-time director John MacCarthy (who has served as First Assistant Director on 15 episodes of the show since Season 2), Thompson's script was full of energy, balancing humor and pathos in a believable fashion, and nailing »

Elfie Hopkins shies away from cannibalism's grim reality
24 April 2012 9:10 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Low-budget horror flick Elfie Hopkins has little stomach for the terrifying potential of its flesh-eating subject matter
Brit horror flick Elfie Hopkins has found little favour but it does have one thing going for it. Cannibals. Anthropophagy in a present-day Welsh village may seem an impossibly unlikely premise. Not so. The practice is far from confined to primitive tribes in remote regions. It's alive and well in places at least as civilised as the principality. Last month, police in European Russia arrested a 24-year-old who admitted eating people. Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, a 35-year-old stabbed a drinking companion, cooked and ate part of the body and sold some of the remainder at a local market as pork. Matej Curko was shot dead by Slovakian police after eating perhaps dozens of victims. In 2009, gangsters in Madrid ate someone they'd murdered.
Cannibals aren't just crazed outsiders. In 1981, Issei Sagawa, »

The Tumblr round-up is a compilation of images, links, posters, stories, videos and so on, taken from the Sound On Sight Tumblr account. We simply do not have the man power nor time to write articles on every interesting movie related goody we find, so this is our way of still promoting some of the stuff we love.

Re-imagined Poster Art for Classic Spielberg Films and More
17 April 2012 10:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's a fantastically cool series of re-designed poster art for some classic films created by artist Alain Bossuyt. I enjoy finding different artists' interpretations of movie posters like this. Some of the films included in this series are Jaws, Soylent Green, Psycho, Duel, Raider of the Lost Ark, The Birds, Them, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and a couple of James Bond movies. Look over the posters and rank your top three favorite movies from them.

Stay Hungry
26 March 2012 5:25 PM, PDT | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »
by Steve Dollar
As much a spectacle for Halftime in America as the Gop primary circus, if vastly more sober-minded, The Hunger Games serves itself up as an Orwellian reality show in which a future parallel USA has ceded democracy to the totalitarian rule of the 1%, made recognizable by their goofy Ziggy Stardust costumes with hair by Edward Scissorhands. Nothing if not cross-reference-able, this adaptation of the Suzanne Collins' young-adult blockbuster is far too many movies in one to merely merit accusations of ripping off Battle Royale. Unfortunately, that's one of the more entertaining things about it.
A pop-culture phenomenon that's had Hollywood salivating for years, apparently, to get a sure-fire film franchise in front of the Twittering masses, the movie is itself much of what it describes: a grandiose and ballyhooed display designed to turn an unvarnished performer (Jennifer Lawrence/Katniss Everdeen) into a digital superstar—an inspiration, »
Beware of the Future: 15 Movies That Say We're Screwed
15 March 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
In "The Hunger Games," the future of North America (called Panem) is grim. For proof, look no further than the titular televised battle to the death that the Capitol puts on for sport. Teens killing teens? Hilarious!
The shocking thing is that the post-apocalyptic future Katniss Everdeen inhabits is far from the bleakest or most bizarre dystopia in movie history. The following 15 movies teach us one basic truth: Be afraid, very afraid of the future -- particularly genetic mutations, man-made viruses, and nuclear holocausts.
1. '12 Monkeys' (1995)
Setting: 2035 America
Why the Future Sucks: Forty years after a man-made virus has wiped out 99 percent of the population, humans have escaped Earth's uninhabitable surface by living in locked underground chambers. Scientists figure out a way to send a convicted criminal (Bruce Willis) to the past to stop the disease, but with a set-up like that, what could go right? After his mission turns haywire, »

Kristin Chenoweth Is Allergic To 'Dead People's Juice'
24 February 2012 4:28 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It was dark and "Gcb" star Kristin Chenoweth was wearing sunglasses.
As she explained to "Late Show" (Weeknights at 11:35 p.m. Est on CBS) host David Letterman, it wasn't because she was on the lam, it was because she'd had an allergic reaction to a beauty product seemingly inspired by "Soylent Green."
Chenoweth had used eyelash extensions, which, it turned out, were made from real eyelash hair harvested from cadavers. Really. The glue used to attach the extensions to her eyelids contained formaldehyde: "Yes, dead people's juice, people!"
The result? "It looks like I have lips on my eyelids."
Finally Chenoweth took off the sunglasses to show off her "eyelid lips," and in truth they didn't look that bad. Indeed, as she looked into the camera she even had a change of heart.
"I might look a litle sexier with the eyes. 'Cause they don't open. They're like slutty eyes! »
