Sunday Morning Fry Up: Trailers, Catch Ups and Link Dump (10th Jan)

Here is some links to some articles and other such stuffs online (trailers or such like) that tickled our movie fancy this week and are perfect fodder for a lazy Sunday in front of the computer. Enjoy.

Spiderman 4 is going through more studio red tape than is surely necessary, the studio and director Sam Raimi seemingly at loggerheads over who should be the villain for the upcoming sequel, here is some info and some villains to get you all thinking. will the geeks win, will Raimi win, will the studios win. Will we, the public who arent geeks or directors or studio execs win? Since we only want a return to the first two films rather than the quite messy third, are we not the majority?

Staying on Spiderman 4, witht he news above its May 6th 2011 spot which seemed untouchable has now became touchable, hot on the news of above a n other blockbuster moved in on its spot from its own May 20th release, and then another blockbuster took up that May 20th release spot. All the while the Spidey situ could get resolved and the bandwagon could be back on track.

Hitchcock articles appear in papers the world over it would seem every once in a while, they are rarely boring, this one is no different. Undervalued film writer who basically rewrote the book on Hitchcock criticism died recently and a fan of his wrote an article.

I got the best viral email in a long time this week, its a youtube video and is pretty specific about my hometown in Scotland but then I can watch movies about New York and San Fransisco and follow whats going on even though i have never lived there so this shouldnt be a problem for people that arent my fellow townsfolk to enjoy this. If you want to make your own movie in this style you can, do it here, its kinda cool you only need a script, or simply hoof it and make it up there and then.

Ever wonder what would happen if Star Wars was used in one of the orange cinema ads and they were trying to peddle the fact that orange now lets you browse facebook for free and what would Grand Moff Tarkin say? wonder no more.

And staying on a facebook theme, have a read at this piece of fiction which i read in a free paper i picked up when i was down in Chicago at Christmas, its pretty entertaining, at first i thought i was real then i thought, god if this is real where is it going, then i realised it wasnt, im not wasting any of it telling you this i must add. hmmm.
