Don't feed these links after midnight…

Pizza Hut Photobomb

I’m going to format these a little differently from now on, putting the links to other websites first and the news stories second, that way less good people get buried beneath mediocre news!

**Pre-Code watches the Calvacade!

**Forgotten Classics of Yesteryear goes 23 Skidoo!

**Turban Decay faces Zero Dark Thirty!

**Beth Loves Bollywood’s Beth Watkins stops by The Cultural Gutter to give tips on Using Fantasy To Be Better Than We Are In Real Life!

**Fist of B-List battles a Psycho Kickboxer!

**Blueprint: Review and the Weekend of Trash IX!

**Pulp Curry and Wallace Stroby give us the best 5 crime films you’ve never seen!

**Kyle Baker put up a whole ton of his comics for free!

**Check out the fantabulous art of Scott C., and feel guilty for the drawings you don’t recognize!

**This drawing of a teddy bear with a wooden sword protecting a girl from a giant monster has been optioned for a film starring The Rock. What you hear is the sound of a thousand people breaking out their sketch pads! You can thank Ted for this.

**The Rock is also Hercules in Brett Ratner’s Hercules!

**A remake of Romancing the Stone is a possibility. Because kids love a good Romancing the Stone flick…

**French action crime flick Point Blank is getting both a US and a Korean remake. The US version is rumored to be produced by Mark Wahlberg, while the Korean version will be directed by Juhn Jai-hong (a former protege of Kim Ki-duk)

**Speaking of Kim Ki-duk and his proteges, another one (Shin Yeon-shik) will be directing Rough Play, an action thriller Kim Ki-duk wrote and is producing. Boy band singer Lee Jun stars, he was also in Ninja Assassin. The plot deals with an actor who gets big overnight and the danger that entails.

**A Gremlins reboot is simmering once again.

And we’re outta here, until the next time we’re in here. Which will be soon.

Fight alongside Taiwanese tokusatsu-themed flick Machi Action!


Machi Action is a tokusatsu flick with a twist, as it’s about the actors who star in the tokusatsu shows. Specifically, it’s about the actor who plays Cosmo Universe Space Hero Fly, and what happens when his low-rated show is replaced by a newer, cooler show with a better suit and a more hip actor. The acto then needs to find himself and become the sort of hero he played on tv. Judging from the look of Machi Action, director Zhang Shilin “borrowed” a lot of the visual style from some of the Kamen Rider series. Which isn’t a bad thing (and wouldn’t be the only time Taiwan had their own version of “Kamen Rider” properties.) Bolin Chen plays the soon-to-be unemployed actor.

Shadow of the Colossus movie lumbers forward

Shadow of the Colossus

The classic game Shadow of the Colossus has been optioned for a feature for Sony. Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games that is often mentioned in the “Are video games art?” debates, and has a whole host of obsessive fans (rightfully so!) The game may be one of the greatest of all time (though it’s no Dig Dug!)

Shadow of the Colossus was optioned in 2009, but there was little word until Chronicle director Josh Trank was attached in 2012 (he’s also working on The Red Star and the Fantastic Four reboot.) Seth Lochhead will be writing the film. This will be one of those films that everyone will have high demands of, so hopefully it gets pulled off correctly. Because if they don’t, it will be a disaster and the internet will run red with the comments of the damned!

Housewives from Another World

Godyssey somehow becoming a movie

godyssey Liefeld

Maybe the Mayans were right and 2012 was the end of the world, because that’s the only explanation I can figure for why Rob Liefeld’s Godyssey is getting a motion picture deal.

The comic opened with the Greek gods taunting Jesus while he was on the cross, prompting Jesus to get off the cross and kicks their butts. This turns out to be a dream sequence, but the comic’s plot follows a potential war between the various gods. Fallen angel Avengelyne and someone named Fallen who I don’t remember at all are the main characters. Like all Liefeld books there are plenty of pouches and teeth and distorted bodies, but not a foot to be found. I’m sure this will be as successful as that Youngblood movie that was supposed to happen.

Justin Bieber's Mom will be the queen of abortion films with Crescendo!

Justin Bieber Puking

I know America just can’t get enough of abortion and Justin Bieber, and now the two great things are combined in one appetizing movie short as Justin Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette brings us Crescendo. Crescendo will let us know that abortion is bad and tiny American flags are good. Which is truly odd because she’s Canadian… Our friends at Movie to Movement is producing. You might remember Movie to Movement when we discussed the Right Wing Nuthouse flicks, as they’re responsible for 2016: Obama’s America getting popular thanks to their “theater captains” (they also worked with Hating Breitbart, which didn’t work out so well for them!) But wingnut welfare is a lucrative business, and the movie propaganda arm is chugging full steam ahead. Crescendo will screen across the country beginning February 28th, with Pattie Mallette appearing at some of the shows. Movie to Movement is hoping to raise $10 million for “pregnancy centers.” Of course, as soon as that baby comes out, don’t ask for help, because then you are one of the 47% of takers, you monster! You just have to wait until your kid becomes a millionaire pop star like all children of teenage mothers.
