Carpetbagger Oscar envelopes get a makeover. Er... it looks like McDonalds is handing out the prizes.
AV Club Michel Gondry is adapting Philip K Dick's Ubik. I predict that before the end of civilization every sentence Philip K Dick ever wrote will be put on the big screen.
The Wrap Adrianne Palicki will be TV's next Wonder Woman. I wish nothing but happiness and success for everyone who has ever been on Friday Night Lights. I do.
Just Jared another collaboration for Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. They just won't stop!
i09 Zach Snyder's Superman may be in trouble.
fourfour "wagon wheel watusi" Oh, Burlesque.
My New Plaid Pants the moment I fell for.... Andrew Garfield
Scott Feinberg is still pushing Melissa Leo for the gold. Here are some statistics to consider.
Finally Empire Online is hosting a "Done in 60 Seconds" contest in which readers have submitted one minute films spoofing some of hte greatest movies of all time. There are 20 finalists, one is even made by a regular Film Experience reader (who alerted me to the contest -Congrats!). Quite a few of them show real ingenuity but my favorites are the ones that don't merely recreate but remold the film in some other image. There's a spoof of The Terminator that cleverly uses Toy Story characters. It obviously cost nothing but, then, neither did the original Terminator. Ghost is similarly lowfi with teddy bears but totally works and I loved the voicework even if it did seem to be taking its cue from those 30 second bunny films. The Wizard of Oz short is really more of a redo of a trailer of a hugely popular 90s movie (I'll leave you to guess which one). And there's two Social Network films. One of them (contestant #9) is an amusing send up of Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher rather than the movie itself.
Did you like Benjamin Button? Do you wanna go back to that?
It totally had me giggling. The last musical cue is hilarious. So, that's the one I voted for. Are you going to vote?

Of the many Actor/Director collaborations I really could use more of Scorecese and DiCaprio. They still manage to work together well even when the film itself is lacking somewhat (Shutter Island). If DiCaprio gives a performance even half as good as The Departed I'm in for sure!
Also we can pretend that I didn't mistype Scorsese's name...oops
man those one minutes shorts are amazing.
i love the sorkin network one.
I'm with Amir. It was awesome! Even if i didn't understand everything because they were talking so fast :P
"did you like benjamin buttin? do you wanna go back to that?" LOL
It says Tom Hooper is on the Judging panel...I guess the Social Network ones won't win
Will we get a "How did they get nominated" this year?? That had always been one of the best write-ups in Oscar season.
The Jurassic Park one, while not the best representation of the movie, looks amazing!
Which one was done by a TFE reader? And were are the FB awards!?
