mediamage Discuss: What Did The Razzies Miss? 14 hours ago from Cinematical - Comment - Like The Razzies traditionally "honor" the very worst that the movies have to offer each year, timed not coincidentally to the day before the Academy Awards celebrate the best films of the year. And every year, you can almost guess which terrible films and actors will be nominated; this year the Michael Bay sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen tied for the lead with Land of the Lost, 2009's most notorious box office bomb. But what, if anything, did the Razzies miss? Before you haters ask, yes, The Twilight Saga: New Moon earned Robert Pattinson a nod for Worst Supporting Actor in addition to a nomination for Worst Screen Couple of 2009, shared with Kristen Stewart and "Taylor Whatz-His-Fang." (Poor Twilight, such an easy target.) Also up for Razzies are John Travolta for Old Dogs, Eddie Murphy for Imagine That, Megan Fox for the one-two punc h of Transformers 2 and Jennifer's Body, and all three Jonas brothers, who combine to form one nominee for Worst Actor of 2009 - for their... - mediamage

mediamage Blowing hot and cold 10 hours ago from The Economist: Daily news and... - Comment - Like What to make of the latest row between China and America over Taiwan? IS IT a crisis or just (show) business as usual? With China and America, it can be hard to tell. Almost immediately after the United States said that it intended to sell more than $6 billion-worth of arms to Taiwan, the Chinese went into a spin. They summoned the American ambassador to denounce this interference in China's "internal affairs" (Taiwan is part of the mainland, says the government in Beijing), threatened to cut off military ties with the United States and said they would impose sanctions on American firms involved in the Taiwan deal. None of this looks good for the world's most consequential relationship. From global warming to the sickly world economy to stopping nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran, co-operation between the established superpower and the rising one is vital to world stability. Why should either want to jeopardise this relationship? ... - mediamage

mediamage Cinematic Letters of Note: James Cameron's Apology to H.R. Giger 17 hours ago from Cinematical - Comment - Like Diehard fans of the Alien quadrilogy are bound to know the history behind this story, but casual fans might be surprised to learn that H.R. Giger, the Swiss artist who designed the iconic xenomorph at the center of the franchise, was never asked to be involved with James Cameron's Aliens. His designs from the first film were obviously the inspiration for the designs in the action-heavy follow-up, but Cameron's team never contacted the artist for input in regards to how they'd be (re)shaping his legacy. While the film was in production, Giger's agent sent a letter to Cameron expressing his disappointment at being frozen out of the creative process. It then took Cameron nearly a year to respond to the letter, but instead of making up excuses for why he felt Giger shouldn't be involved, Cameron explained in earnest a fear most sequel directors may have but never sh are: "I found that creating a sequel can be an uneasy exercise in balancing creative impulses, the desire to create a whole... - mediamage

mediamage 'Conchords'' James Bobin Will Direct Jason Segel's Muppet Movie 20 hours ago from Cinematical - Comment - Like While I am still wishing for an epic Muppet Rock Opera, Jason Segel's more traditional The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time has moved one step closer to fruition. Variety reports that James Bobin has agreed to take the helm, passing on the chance to direct the Judd Apatow comedy Bridesmaids and winning over Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller. With a director in place, the project is expected to be one of the first greenlit by Disney's Rich Ross. The Muppet film will be Bobin's first major feature, but he's no newcomer to the industry. He's the co-creator of Flight of the Conchords and writer/director of Da Ali G Show -- otherwise known as the series that brought us Borat and Bruno. (Plus Ali G videos and shorts.) With that resume, Bobin is definitely a good fit for the manic world of Muppets, and considering the music flavor in Conchords, maybe we can expect at least a little rockin' goodness to the film. Variety notes that the plot is being kept... - mediamage

mediamage Sgt. Rock Skips Iraq and Ships Out For Times Unknown 2 hours ago from Cinematical - Comment - Like Once upon a time, Sgt. Rock was set to battle Nazis in occupied France. Over the years, he's changed commanders -- er, directors -- and actors but one thing was always certain: Like Captain America, Sgt. Rock would keep to his time and place. Until last November, when Warner Bros announced they were taking him into the future with Francis Lawrence and screenwriter Chad. St. John. At the time, the news didn't attract much notice, perhaps because it was a little confusing. A lot of Sgt. Rock fans thought the film might be in his future rather than Earth's, and we would see him fighting in Afghanistan or Iraq. While that was a logical leap, it turned out to be wishful thinking. Joel Silver told the LA Times that Sgt. Rock will indeed be jumping into the not-too-distant future and saving humanity. There's no hint as to who or what he will be fighting in that futuris tic battlefield. Will it be an old enemy made new again, such as Russia or neo-Nazis? Or will it be something like aliens or... - mediamage
