Best Korea Celebration Funtimes!

What is a Friday Film Fiesta?

We are hackers from North Korea, and not only have we convinced Sony to drop the latest Seth Rogen comedy extravaganza, we have also hacked into the Friday Film Fiesta, and are posting it on Sunday! WE ARE PURE EVIL!


Last week you were asked if Sony should sell the film rights to Spider-Man back to Marvel, and you answered YES.



  • Box Office News: The first step towards achieving Glenn's dream of a Biblical Cinematic Universe wins out on a weak weekend
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Get Hard, Kill Me Three Times, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Annie and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: ... nothing?

  • The big news of the week is Sony's decision to pull The Interview from theaters, VOD, and any other method of release following threats of terrorism from North Korea. Most of Hollywood is shocked and appalled, and backup plans to have screenings of Team America have also been canceled
  • Coming off of this big news, a movie starring Steve Carell set in North Korea has also been canned
  • AMC movie theaters will begin testing monthly movie subscription services in Boston and Denver next month
  • Apparently Beetlejuice 2 is happening
  • Frozen director to parents: sorry
  • The Star Wars prequels nearly killed Natalie Portman's career
  • NBC's Must See TV comedies are officially no more
  • Ferris Bueller references are newsworthy items, apparently
  • Good stuff is coming to Netflix in January
  • The Social Network was almost pulled by Mark Zuckerburg
  • The Library of Congress has selected new films for preservation

    And that brings us to this week's poll.


    Was Sony right to pull The Interview?
    Yes
    No
    Meh

    Friday Film Fiesta


    Welcome to the Fiesta! Last week I asked you what your thoughts on the Suicide Squad cast were, and you answered you loved it.

  • Box Office News: Don't try to say you saw any movies last weekend, because you didn't
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Mad Max: Fury Road, Hot Tub Time Machine 2, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Exodus: Gods and Kings and Top 5
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: The Maze Runner, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and This Is Where I Leave You

  • More fallout from the Sony Hack: Sony execs refer to Kevin Hart by a very specific name, Marvel is really trying to get Spider-Man back, and they also want Sam Raimi back in the Spidey director's chair, and a whole lot more. The hackers also want The Interview pulled
  • The 2015 Screen Actor's Guild Awards have been announced
  • Avengers: Infinity War directors have been announced
  • Godzilla returns to his roots in 2015
  • Christian Bale: Terminator: Salvation "didn't work"
  • As Glenn informed us in the Walk, the end of 2014 is upon us, and Rotten Tomatoes has deemed these films to be the worst of 2014
  • DC's March comic variants are quite spiffy
  • David Letterman will retire on May 20

    And that brings us to this week's poll.


    Should Sony sell Spider-Man back to Marvel?
    Yes
    No
    Spider-MEHn

    Late Nights No More

    Welcome to yet another HISTORY MAKING FIESTA! This week is historic because I start a new day shift job on Monday after three years of working graveyard shifts, meaning that this will be the LAST TIME EVER that I write a Fiesta at work at 4:30 in the morning. One of the Queens of the Fiesta is happy.


    Where will the Fiesta go from here, you ask? Will I still be able to write it at work? Will it be written at the last minute on Friday nights? Will it be delayed until Saturday, or even Sunday as it usually is? There's only one way to find out!

    Last week I asked you... nothing.



  • Box Office News: Hunger Games keeps people feeling full during Thanksgiving weekend
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Terminator: Genisys, Muck, and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Dying of the Light and The Pyramid
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Dolphin Tale 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy

  • The cast of DC's Suicide Squad has been revealed, and it's wackier than anyone could have ever imagined
  • Bond 24 has officially been named Spectre, and we also have a cast!
  • Speaking of 007, if you've been unhappy with the serious tone of the Craig films, blame Austin Powers
  • A big screen adaptation of Stephen King's It is on the way
  • No more Tolkien films after the third Hobbit
  • Disney is planning to adapt Robin Hood into a franchise similar to Pirates of the Caribbean
  • Edgar Wright lists his Top 10 Movies of 2014
  • Seems as if Will Smith will not be celebrating Independence Day
  • Filming for Ant-Man has wrapped
  • Quentin Tarantino has a positive reaction to Interstellar
  • As yu may or may not know, Sony was hacked earlier this week, and lots of data has been compromised. Including humorous lists such as this one that degrade Adam Sandler

    And that brings us to this week's poll.


    What are your thoughts on the Suicide Squad cast?
    I love it!
    I hate it!
    Who?
