The new Horror Roundtable is up chez Horror Blog, and this week’s topic is a choose-your-own “King Kong vs. Godzilla”-style horror-character mash-up. You’ve probably guessed half of mine already.
Matt Zoller Seitz returns to the Brian DePalma beat by reprinting and critiquing David Thomson’s condemnatory entry on DePalma from The New Biographical Dictionary of Film.
Meanwhile, the comment thread at Seitz’s post leads me to the Chicago Sun-Times’s Jim Emerson, who takes a look at what seems like a pretty whacked-out examination of Nicole Kidman’s career (and naked body) by Thomson. In a weird way I wish more film writing was like this, and in another way I really, really don’t.
If you’ve got yourself an Aaron Sorkin-hating skittle, prepare to have it diddled but good by Jason Adams and Jim Treacher.
Finally, the trailer for Zack Snyder’s film of Frank Miller’s 300 has leaked. Holy smokes.
