Now Playing – Shadow of the Thin Man

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Before we leave the holiday of Thanksgiving entirely behind us, here is a look at an ad for “Shadow of the Thin Man”, which opened in many theaters on Thanksgiving Day, 1941. In the days before watching football on TV (or watching hours and hours of TCM), the movie theaters were packed on holidays, and Thanksgiving was an opportune release date for a new movie. Probably a lot of sleeping in the theater, with all that tryptophan.

Myrna Loy and William Powell take another turn at Nick and Nora Charles, stylish and witty detectives and social inebriates. Donna Reed plays a receptionist in this film, in what was her second movie.

In less than two weeks, we would be at war. Nick and Nora Charles would soon come to represent not so much modern glitz as nostalgia for the good old days when the modern world was less scary.

‘Twilight’ Author Stephenie Meyer BioComic Book: A Dramatic Reading With Josh Horowitz

Monday, November 30th, 2009

There are many times in this line of work when I find myself suddenly struck speechless. When you’re reporting on Hollywood and the Cult of Celebrity, strange happenings become the norm. So it was when I learned over the summer that “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer was to be the subject of a biographical comic book from Bluewater Productions. On the scale of baffling developments, this one ranked fairly low; I simply processed the news and moved on with my day.

Now the comic is here. And MTV has staged a dramatic, motion comic-style excerpt for you, compliments of Movies Editor Josh Horowitz. And I’m once again struck speechless. Serious this time though. Really… there are no words good enough to intro this clip. So just watch it.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Kill Bill’ Sequel Is ‘About One Movie Away,’ Says Quentin Tarantino

Monday, November 30th, 2009

FROM BoothBayDinnerTheatre.com: In all the talk about a third installment of Quentin Tarantino‘s martial-arts opus “Kill Bill,” little attention has been paid — um, almost 6-year-old spoiler alert? — to one tiny fact: Bill does in fact get killed at the end of Volume 2. One would assume it’d be difficult, or at least require some nifty storytelling trickery, to title a film after a character that already has already been axed.

We posed just this question to Quentin Tarantino in a recent interview, because as far as we can tell, the writer/director has not addressed the title issue.
