Free Talk Friday Film Fiesta

Welcome to the Fiesta! Still not sure what happened with the coding last week, but thanks to Good Guy Gatekeeper Glenn for taking time to work his magic. Either way, I have no idea what to talk about this week, so let's dub this Free Talk Friday!


I'm looking for information on what to do at a Comic Con. I found out this week I'll be getting a press pass for Austin Comic Con through work, and I'm at a loss for what to do once I'm there. Do I cosplay? Do I buy stuff? All I've seen is the list of guests, and I'm bummed because I wanted to get a picture with Alfonso Ribiera, but he had to cancel. Guess I'll have to settle for getting a picture with either Sean Astin or the Undertaker.

Last week I asked you if you were interested in Bill Murray's proposed all-female Ghostbusters, and you answered NO.



  • Box Office News: Tyler Perry's latest Madea film, despite being a severe departure from the others in the series... wait, what? Oh. Whoops. This is awkward.
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, Men, Women & Children and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: A Walk Among the Tombstones, The Maze Runner, This is Where I Leave You and Tusk
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Neighbors

    Glenn showed up at my door with a lawsuit claiming I stole his intellectual property, until he realized I said "Free Talk Friday" and not "Free Walk Friday":

    Friday Film Fiesta

    Welcome to another week of the Fiesta! I am currently putting the finishing touches on this column from a high school football press box while the game is under a weather delay. This is the second week in a row, making what is already a miserable season of coverage even worse.


    If anyone wants an Andy-esque rant, I would be more than happy to oblige!

    TWO weeks ago, I asked you what your favorite year on the Blog of Doom was, and you answered 2009.

    LAST WEEK, I asked you what you want to see more of in the Fiesta going forward, and the answer was movie/Hollywood news.

  • George A. Romero hates today's zombies
  • Transformer5 will see some major changes
  • Apparently The Amazing Spider-Man 2 sucked because of the studio

  • Witness the transformation of Haley Joel Osment into Nazi Paul Bearer
  • Quentin Tarantino's movie theater is almost half museum
  • Bill Hader has a list of 200 films every comedy writer should see

    And that brings us to this week's poll.

    Third Anniversary Fiesta Fiesta

    Three years already? Yes, on the Friday after Labor Day in 2011, the Friday Film Fiesta was revived, with me as your host! And it was all because I wanted to talk about how dumb the then-rumored Stretch Armstrong movie starring Taylor Lautner was!


    Whatever happened to that movie anyway? Ah, canceled in January 2012.

    Anyway, in these last three years we have seen effort and enthusiasm fly out the window, boobs, April Fools pranks, Friday Film FiGUESTas, wrestling references, more boobs, hashtags, people leaving the Blog forever, Wet Dream t-shirts, a lengthy hiatus in the fall of 2012, female butts, a feud with Jope, and maybe some movie news in between all of this "action"!

    What will the next three years bring? What will the next year alone bring? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!

  • Box Office News: Much like three years ago (I know you clicked the link to reread my first Fiesta), a single movie continues to dominate. At what point do these newer releases give up entirely? And at what point do we begin to feel nostalgic about Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star or Rebecca Black?
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Cymbeline, Horrible Bosses 2 and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: The Identical
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Brick Mansions, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Palo Alto

  • Glenn joins this week's festivities after a LINK-THY absence, bringing photographic evidence of what recent horror movie home video releases would look like if we were still using VHS technology. By the way, Glenn and other LOTR fans, the movies will be screened together in New York City next year with a live orchestra

  • RIP Joan Rivers and Gottfried John
  • CELEBRITIES BEWARE: Hackers have hacked into the iCloud and are releasing nude pictures of various celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, with more pictures of other celebrities apparently still to come. Normally this would be where Glenn takes a pause to remind us that the real story here is people being able to shockingly hack into the Cloud, putting everyone's privacy at risk, and that we should all back up our sensitive data to encrypted hard drives. However, I am not Glenn, so bewbz~!!!!!
  • It's official: this summer was Hollywood's worst summer since 2006!
  • Very soon you will be able to tour the prison from The Shawshank Redemption
  • Martin Scorsese is bringing a Shutter Island prequel to HBO
  • Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight finally has a release date
  • Gone Girl will be edited entirely with Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Attention Canucks! The next X-Men movie will film in Montreal in April. Anyone else hoping for a bad_subject cameo?
  • Another Game of Thrones character will be moving to a Galaxy Far, Far Away
  • Speaking of casting news, do you smell what Black Adam is cooking?
  • Stan Lee has confirmed a Black Panther movie
  • In addition to a remake of Escape to New York and a fifth Rambomovie, a fourth Blade movie might also be in the works along with a CHiPS movie with Dax Shepard doing everything
  • Stuff is coming to Netflix
  • DC is planning a TV series about Supergirl
  • The Wire is rumored to see a remastered reairing on HBO in the near future. Just remember that Stringer Bell and Omar Little lost to Denny Crane and Batman, respectively, in the TV Characters Tournament, so yeah.

    And that brings us to this week's poll.


    What should be the focus of the Fiesta going forward?
    Pictures Of Scantily Clad Women
    Gimmicks
    Feuds With Other Posters/Websites
    Celebrity Gossip
