The Goon is a movie I've been anxious to see ever since the first test shots arrived in March. It's a feature adaptation of Eric Powell's cult comic The Goon about the adventures of a muscle-bound brawler, and his sidekick Franky, who claims to be the primary enforcer for the feared mobster Labrazio, yet often gets tied up in other schemes usually involving the evil zombie gangs under the command of...
Peter's got a massive Page 2 for you today, but here are three bites that didn't make it. Each one is a small but significant update on a going project. First up: the movie version of Eric Powell's comic book The Goon. Last we heard of this was at my favorite panel, bar none, from Comic Con this past summer. There, Powell showed off a couple of brief animation clips that demonstrated what the proposed...
Fight Club is now a decade old, but David Fincher’s darkly comic satire still packs a fierce punch, especially on the new 10th anniversary Blu-ray edition. The new disc bulges with extras, including a raft of commentary tracks from its creators, notably stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter, [...]
Brad Pitt (who I’m informed has been cured of that bizarre reverse ageing thing David Fincher documented) is potentially developing a big screen adaptation of the forthcoming shoot ‘em up Dark Void . The video game is about a pilot who crashes…
I have no interest in watching, much less buying, the new Blu-ray of David Fincher's Fight Club because the film itself was always so dark and murky and dreary-looking, as if the final negative was soaked in a vat of cappuccino. Brad Pitt in a third-act scene from David Fincher's Fight Club. Unlike Anita Busch I've always loved what Fight Club was saying about how we all need to act in bolder and braver...
If you picked up the new Fight Club Blu-ray edition, don't panic when you see the menu screen. Edward Norton HAS NOT been replaced with a Drew Barrymore character that makes out with her alter ego to vent sexual frustration. Let me explain: the menu screen for Never Been Kissed appears momentarily when the disc is loaded, then reverts to the standard Fight Club menu. It's actually a brilliantly hilarious...
If any picture was the movie to usher in the new millennium, it was David Fincher's Fight Club. To me, it was the movie of the 1990s -- as prescient as Network was in the 1970s towards the future of “news,” and as equally misunderstood. As Fight Club revealed and essentially, prosthelytized, we live in a world where we seek to express ourselves, either by...
If you drop in your Blu-ray of the 10th-Anniversary edition of 'Fight Club' and all appears not as it should be, fear not -- David Fincher's just playing a joke.
Last week, Poetry & Popular Culture tried—via some amateur and possibly dubious ornithological sleuthing—to argue for the singular importance of John Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale" in understanding Rouben Mamoulian's 1931 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde . Make no mistake: the P&PC Office wasn't allowed to carry off this claim unchallenged. Some respondents contended...
Ten years after its release, there are still plenty of people who will not get David Fincher's "Fight Club" because they refuse to see what is in front of their eyes. They think it's about a cult of men...
