Okay, that last bit is more of a wishlist than a news item, but yup, Walt Disney is buying Marvel and its long, long, long stable of superheroes and characters. I’m not good with math, but according to the release, this is a 4 BILLION DOLLAR DEAL. Holy cow. This should be really interesting! The […]

Not to be confused with this seemingly homemade fan video, this big budget, special-effects laden teaser video of what seems to be Cloverfield 2, boasts not an amphibious monster, but something much more sinister lurking in Japan.

This might be the single most happiest post I have ever published in EG’s history. “Captain EO has now received the green light to return to Tomorrowland, but the timing was too tight to make it by HalloweenTime. Hooter and the gang will now land at Disneyland this January to boost winter attendance, with the […]

Goonies never say die! But I guess Ke Huy Quan does. Why oh why is he not in films? I want more Ke Huy and my Mighty Mugg is just not enough! Well, at least we get to see Data back with his fellow Goon Dock friends in this clip. Here’s a look behind the […]

I had heard about these comparisons, but ignored them because I’ve been annoyed at the level of assholeness out there towards Avatar. Yes, while it’s true the trailer and 16 minutes of Avatar Day failed to give me AweJaw – it doesn’t change the fact that I am excited. Excited just to have a new […]

Friday, August 21st 2009. AVATAR DAY. Or, at least it was supposed to be. But the truth is it turned out to be what it always was: BASTERDS DAY. The best way to describe my experience with the Basterds is to not tell you about the day I saw it, but the day after. Today, […]

At what point in time did studios start calling full trailers “Teasers”? This first Trailer for AVATAR is not a Teaser, as Fox is calling it. A teaser is something like the first look we had for T2 – you remember, the specially shot minute of the T-800 endoskeleton being assembled which made its debut […]

Yes. You read that right. The film I have been waiting more than a decade for, today, has finally pissed me off. And it has nothing to do with Monday and Tuesday’s whole ticket debacle. Luckily, that all worked out for us here at EG and, aside from Tuesday’s snag of having to RE-register for […]

Imagine opening up a magazine and watching video clips of new fall TV shows. CBS is doing just that next month. The network is partnering with Pepsi to launch what it claims to be the first-ever use of video in a print advertisement. Using a paper-thin video player, CBS is packaging clips and promos into […]

I love Risk, grew up with it, realized quickly that Kamchatka is the key to the game (not Siam, sorry folks) and enjoy it in its other variations (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc.). I also love Halo, the first person shooters and while not as good, enjoyed the recent real-time strategy game, Halo […]

I have never been on board Team Apatow. The two films he’s helmed have been the kind of experiences that frustrate me to no end. I expected more of the same with Funny People – and went in half expecting to walk out. As it turns out, I will be going back a second time. […]
