Comedic Premise of ‘Coffee & Kareem’ Sours - The Washington Informer

Image
While the coronavirus outbreak has done serious financial damage to Hollywood, the film industry's creative stagnation has been long-standing. Ignoring the revolving door of superheroes, remakes and reboots, Hollywood still has a glaring problem: the films labeled "comedies" are not funny. For years, the idea of a major-studio comedy has been devolving into an endless stream of bad improv, toilet humor and drug use. If sitting through 90 minutes of yet another Seth Rogen comedy wasn't bad enough, Hollywood has added a disturbing twist to freshen up a tired genre: children. The typical vulgar improv, toilet humor and drug use are all present but this time it's performed by a child actor. And that's the joke. Director Michael Dowse is back after last year's poor-performing comedy "Stuber," which starred Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista. This time, he's offering 84 minutes of a child speaking like a foul-mouthed adult in "Coffee ...

Todd McFarlane's Mister Bones? Roy Thomas Says Not So Fast... - Bleeding Cool News

Image
Yesterday, Bleeding Cool ran an article about how a number of comic book publishers were reviving Todd McFarlane characters or character designs related to Spawn, at the same time that Todd McFarlane was launching new Spawn comic books. That includes the revamp of Venom getting chains, the return of Angela to Thor, and also the return of the traditional look for Mister Bones, credited as being created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas , and Todd McFarlane for Infinity Inc #16. Via his manager John Cimino, Roy Thomas gets in touch, wanting to set the record straight. He tells Bleeding Cool; I not only conceived Mr. Bones on my own (though conferring with Dann, he was my idea, where other Infinity, Inc./Helix characters were sometimes initiated by her or by both of us together)… but I drew the first picture of him, costume, skull and bones design, etc., clearly influenced by the old Black Terror character visually, plus Blazing Skull and Ghost Rider at Marvel. Besides that: the first profe...

Overkill to Release 'The Atlantic Years 1986-1994' Vinyl + CD Set - Loudwire

Image
Thrash legends Overkill have just announced  The Atlantic Years 1986 - 1994 , a six-album retrospective box set that will be issued with vinyl and CD options on Oct. 29. The band was formed in 1980 in Old Bridge, New Jersey and cut their teeth onstage and honed their songwriting chops over the next few years before debuting with  Feel the Fire in 1985 on Megaforce Records, the same label that signed Metallica and released their first two albums. Over the course of their following four records, Overkill remained with Megaforce, but co-released  Taking Over  (1987),  Under the Influence   (1988),  The Years of Decay (1989)   and  Horroscope (1991) in partnership with Atlantic Records. It was Atlantic that the band exclusively partnered with soon after, with  I Hear Black (1993) and  W.F.O.  (1994) representing the last to be released under Atlantic. All of those albums mentione...

Tim Burton's Planet Of The Apes, and its controversial ending – Film Stories - Film Stories

Image
The ending to Tim Burton's take on Planet Of The Apes was a contentious one – but there were other alternatives that were no improvement. Big spoilers for the original Planet Of The Apes and the 2001 remake lie ahead. Granted, the mere mention of Tim Burton's Planet Of The Apes usually has film fans preparing to fling their faeces. But in a bid to be a bit more half-full than half-empty (and to mark 20 years since its release), allow me to sing a few praises of the picture, and talk about how the much-maligned 'President Thade' ending had its plus points. Inevitably, this is a very spoiler-y article. After 20 th Century Fox announced the new film – that it'd been trying to get off the ground for some time – director Tim Burton famously began referring to his upcoming Planet Of The Apes movie not as a remake, but as a 'reimagining' of the beloved 1968 sci-fi classic, which gave fans of the film the faintest glimmer of hope. Much like today, a spate o...

Revisiting Patrick Swayze's eccentric performance in 'Donnie Darko' - Far Out Magazine

Image
Capturing the angst and jarring fear of technological evolution better than any other film of the early 21st century, Richard Kelly's  Donnie Darko   is a generational classic, telling the story of adolescent angst amidst a science-fiction context.  Set during Halloween in 1988, Kelly's film follows a deeply troubled teenager named Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal) who escapes a life-threatening accident thanks to Frank, a strange figure in a rabbit costume who warns Donnie that the world will imminently end. Setting out to write something personal about the peculiar decade of the 1980s which "pushed the envelope by combining science fiction with a coming-of-age tale," according to Kelly's interview with the  LA Times . The filmmaker certainly succeeds, creating a surreal ode to the confusion of an American nation post-Vietnam.  Deconstructing concepts of selflessness and sacrifice all whilst in the realm of sci-fi time tr...
