FilmBuzz : Watching XXX: SotU it's no surprise that urban kids find the gang/prison life so appealing. It's the gangster that's the cool guy in film

FilmBuzz : Watching XXX: State of the Union. I have to say it's entertaining for a mindless action film, but the first one, with Diesel, was better.

themantisofdoom : @FilmBuzz Except the ending. That was based on Tony Scott's other flick - "True Romance" ;)

FilmBuzz : AMC continues move into series: developing a new series based on the brilliant "The Conversation" (which was basis of "Enemy of The State")

FilmBuzz : I can't believe it's now Thursday afternoon and I *still* haven't gotten to the theater to see a movie. And I'm booked 6-10pm tonight. Tmrw?

DrRus : @FilmBuzz Interesting point about R rated comedies. But, how do they do in the long run? Usually they start big and disappear fast.

FilmBuzz : Ticket sales analysis by Fandango suggests that comedies with an "R" rating actually do better in the box office than PG-13 or PG. Hmmm...

FilmBuzz : Warner Bros picked up rights to Whiting's "Tokyo Underworld: Fast Times and Hard Life of American Gangster in Japan". Frank Baldwin to adapt

FilmBuzz : Chuck Russell's sci-fi action film "Prodigy" announces signing Max Thieriot in the title role.

FilmBuzz : Next project for Barry Levinson is "Train", a noir film in the style of the terrific, gritty "L.A. Confidential". I have high hopes!

FilmBuzz : Excited about Vin Diesel's upcoming thriller "Babylon AD"? Here are some clips to check out: http://snurl.com/3bxmr

FilmBuzz : Tweeting from the command line? Well, sure!

FilmBuzz : this is more testing + with a plus sign

FilmBuzz : this is more testing with a plus sign

FilmBuzz : Philip Roth's novel "The Dying Animal" - movie treatment by Isabel Coixet. Working title "Elegy", to star Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz

FilmBuzz : testing

FilmBuzz : (( warning: I am testing out some scripts to get the trivia questions online. Finally. Just ignore the dude behind the curtain, eh? ))

FilmBuzz : testing

FilmBuzz : Gore Verbinski ("Pirates" director) lands at Universal, working on film adaptation of Bioshock, a hit video game. Can he get Depp involved?

FilmBuzz : Next potentially amusing comedy going into production? "The Spy Next Door". Just signed Jackie Chan to star, from Relativity Media.

FilmBuzz : Early buzz for PG-13 comedy "Battle Cry" is: does this mark the true death of PG-13 comedy as a genre? Ouch.

FilmBuzz : Good news with Morgan Freeman: He's doing well after surgery to reconnect nerves and repair damage to his left arm post auto-accident.

FilmBuzz : Ah, so I didn't get to a movie theater today after all. Tomorrow, maybe Hellboy II, maybe not...

FilmBuzz : @themantisofdoom wow, all that AND they give you a paycheck. You're a lucky man. :-)

themantisofdoom : @FilmBuzz I can guarantee that the first paycheck I get, I'm going to see it.

FilmBuzz : @themantisofdoom well, now that you're a working man, your free time just vanished, eh?

themantisofdoom : @FilmBuzz Wonder if I'll see it before it breaks $750m. ;)

FilmBuzz : The Dark Knight expected to break $500 mil at the box office today. Quite a record!

FilmBuzz : Dreamworks upcoming "Eagle Eye" to get IMAX trailer in prep of its IMAX opening on Sept 26. Nice to see IMAX with so many wins!

FilmBuzz : Don't know much about it, but the title's awesome: "Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire", a new series for Comedy Central.

jromeh : @FilmBuzz saw "The Party" as oldest backseat young'un of 4 at the drive-in - one eye open, pretending to be asleep ;) thanks, Mom & Dad!

FilmBuzz : Classic Peter Sellers kitsch movie "The Party" due for remake (sigh) by Marco Garibaldi. Sellers stuff is better left pristine, imo, though

calvinlotz : @FilmBuzz Isn't hiring Michael Bay kind of a death wish?

FilmBuzz : Grisham's non-fiction "Playing for Pizza" optioned, script being written and Adam Shankman set to direct.

FilmBuzz : Variety says Tarantino inspired Bishop movie "Hell Ride" is just as boring as the original biker films.

FilmBuzz : Great product placement: "Tiffany Case" pulls corpse's wallet, pulls out Playboy Club membership card. How... kitsch!

FilmBuzz : Movie starts out with Bond killing Ernst Blofeld. But we all know he's not *really* dead, that'd be too easy... :-)

FilmBuzz : Tomorrow going to sneak out and see Hellboy II. Anyone in Boulder up for joining me, prob mid-afternoon??

FilmBuzz : @searchguru disposable DVDs have been on the radar screen for movie studios for many years. It's perfect, if you are anti-green, I suppose.

searchguru : @FilmBuzz have you seen these $4.99 DVD rentals? You rent, you watch, you throw away.

FilmBuzz : Coming this fall: Blockbuster NCR team up to install 10,000 DVD rental kiosks to compete with Redbox. $1/movie/night? Cheaper than VOD!

FilmBuzz : By the way, sorry everyone for the gaffe: Samuel Jackson was on the snake plane. Morgan Freeman was in Wanted and The Dark Knight.

FilmBuzz : Could be cute, could be awful: Dreamworks latest animation: Monsters vs Aliens. See pic at http://snurl.com/3ay0q

FilmBuzz : Ironic: Long-time Hollywood icon Herbert Gold collapsed at reading of his new book "Still Alive!". He's fully recovered, fortunately.

FilmBuzz : Very impressive showing for Mummy 3: $61.2 million in 4,020 theaters *in 27 countries*. If not for Dark Knight, it'd be BIG news.

RedBullMom : @FilmBuzz i would like to see the rocker - even just to see "dwight" in something new.

FilmBuzz : Time, Inc. opens film production house. I bet the first movie out of the team will be the tied to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

EvilPRGuy : @filmbuzz That's Sam Jackson. It should have been a reference to Ms. Daisy.

FilmBuzz : Actor Morgan Freeman in hospital in Memphis after a bad car accident. Just hope there are no snakes in the clinic. No m'f'ing snakes.

melsil : @filmbuzz only saw hancock. ok. no interest in the others.
