i think i read tom hardy is signed on to do 4 mad max movies in total...they are already in works on the second if i remember correctly.

"Macbeth" has been weirdly under-served by the movies. There are only two major adaptations in English using the original text--Orson Welles in 1948 and Roman Polanski in 1971.

Until now anyway, as a "Macbeth" with Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard is coming out in December.

I thought the slo-mo in the second clip was my computer buffering.

Another very brief trailer, subtitled in French for some reason.

John and Alicia Nash of "A Beautiful Mind" fame (as well as the Nobel Prize and such) killed in a car wreck

I enjoyed the heck out of Andy Weir's "Casey and Andy" webcomic, which was clever and funny. So I also enjoyed the heck out of Weir's novel "The Martian", about an astronaut stranded on Mars who has to do a lot of MacGyvering to stay alive.

So I'm pretty pumped about the Matt Damon movie being made from "The Martian".

Just watched Still Alice...what an incredibly gut-wrenching movie.

Great performance by Julianne Moore.

Alzheimer's is just awful.

Yup. One of the most terrifying movies I've seen this year and it wasn't even a horror.

Others I've seen lately:

-Ex Machina is rad as hell. It's one of those films that just feels like a classic, at least within the sci-fi genre, and it leaves you with a lot to chew on.

-Magician was a great portrait of Orson Welles and basically made me want to go re-watch a dozen of his movies.

-Avengers: Age of Ultron was insanely bland and had entirely too much crammed into the movie. It was shockingly sloppy.

Tonight, I'm doing Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D with a post-film Q&A with Julia Adams, the object of the creature's affections.
