Poltergeist DirecTV Ad... In Bad Taste?

3 October 2008 1:18 PM, PDT | From iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news

I found this on the Slashfilm.com website and thought it was worth sharing. You know those DirecTV commercials? You've seen 'em. Sigourney Weaver as Ripley again in Aliens. Robert Patrick as the T1000 again in Terminator 2. Well there's a new one just in time for the Halloween season with Craig T. Nelson from Poltergeist. Only... they use a sequence with the late Heather O’Rourke too. I don't know... I know it's just a commercial, but for me personally, I find this kind of in... bad taste? Watch it below and comment. What do you guys think?

Discuss: Should Musicians Become Movie Stars?

16 September 2008 6:02 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

We're only a few days in, and there's already been a lot of music-themed film news this week -- from word of an Ozzy documentary to Roger Daltry's disappointment with possible scripts for that Keith Moon flick. But those are nothing compared to the little nugget over at MTV. Even without "I'm Going Slightly Mad" on the media player, this tidbit sounds so utterly nuts that it must be discussed.

It seems that way back when, stunt coordinator Joel Kramer went to James Cameron's office to look at storyboards for Terminator 2, and "I was like, 'Jim, these storyboards look just like Billy Idol!' And he was like, 'Yeah, he was my first pick.' But Billy had gotten into a motorcycle accident and broke his leg, so it didn't work out, because he would have to be in lean running shape." Those are storyboards for the T-1000. Yes folks,

'The Unit' Set To Return with Season 4 on September 28

13 September 2008 11:30 PM, PDT | From buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news

Fans of CBS' The Unit are gearing up for September 28, when the series comes back for its fourth season.  The show, which stars 54-year-old Dennis Haysbert as Sergeant Major Jonas Blane, follows a group of counter-terrorists as they risk their lives going into missions that take them undercover in various parts of the world.

The operative group is led by Blane, and is composed of Colonel Tom Ryan (Robert Patrick), Mack Gerhardt (Max Martini), Charles Grey (Michael Irby), Hector Williams (Demore Barnes) and Bob Brown.  Blane's wife, Molly (Regina Taylor) is a base matriarch acting as a counselor for other wives as they deal with the fear for their husbands' security.

In the previous season of The Unit, we left off with Jonas, who was in the middle of an investigation concerning the link between a Russian uranium dealer and his old friend at MI5.  Bob was promoted to Sergeant First Class.

Seen on: August 17, 2008

The players: Director: Ben Stassen, Writer: Domonic Paris, Cast (Voices): Christopher Lloyd, Robert Patrick, Nicollette Sheridan, Tim Curry

Facts of interest: First ever animated movie created exclusively for 3-D.

The plot: Three flies sneak onto Apollo 11 to accompany the astronauts to the moon.

Our quick thoughts: When you promote a film as the first ever animated movie created for 3-D, you should at least assume people will go to the theater with high expectations. Well, if you’re still planning to see Ben Stassen’s “Fly Me to the Moon,” don’t get too excited quite yet.

List: Ten Disturbingly Powerful Fictional Film Corporations

13 August 2008 1:44 PM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

By Nick Schager

Serial killers are scary. So are mutant monsters. But in the collective American imagination, the terror they elicit is often no greater than that generated by malevolent corporate behemoths. Wielding stealthy political clout, recklessly tampering with genetics and technology, and casting morality aside in favor of profit, they're the avaricious power structures that loom large over our public and private lives, covertly pulling strings from their ivory towers while commissioning dirty deeds to be furtively carried out in the shadows of the night. Fueling our Big Brother fears, corporations are usually portrayed as villainous, and have most vigorously thrived in science fiction, where contemporary anxieties about nefarious boardroom conduct can be largely, fancifully projected. Consequently, it's not surprising that our list of the ten best fictional cinematic businesses turns out to be heavily skewed in that futuristic genre's favor, with the lone truly upstanding company to make
