Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I honestly didn’t even know this one was filming, so all of this is news to me. I’m excited to see what Alan Ball does his first time at bat as a director, and I think he’s one of the rare creators in recent American television who got to wrap up a hit show on his own terms and who really nailed the ending when he got the opportunity. And I know it’s vogue to hate AMERICAN BEAUTY in hindsight, but I don’t. I think Ball’s the real deal, and I’m glad to see him taking this step.

So how’s the movie?

WASHINGTON - The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday he considers homosexuality to be immoral and the military should not condone it by allowing gay soldiers to serve openly, the Chicago Tribune reported. Marine Gen. Peter Pace likened homosexuality to adultery, which he said was also immoral, the newspaper reported on its Web site.

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

There are a number of guys who are just starting to emerge into a sort of cult stardom thanks to the current incarnation of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, and Andy Samberg is definitely one of them.

These reviews make this sounds promising. It also reminds me of a great, crazy, fucked-up little New Zealand comedy I just saw called THE DEVIL DARED ME TO, which is playing at SXSW later this week. It’s a celebration of the stupidity of the daredevil profession, and it’s early-Peter-Jackson-gory.

Is HOT ROD Samberg’s chance at bigscreen success? Let’s see what the first of our spies had to say:

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

I haven’t heard much about Bob Shaye’s latest directorial effort, but anything’s got to be better than BOOK OF LOVE. One thing’s for sure… if THE LAST MIMZY somehow becomes a freak hit, grossing $500 million worldwide, then forget about Sam Raimi. We’re going to see BOB SHAYE’S THE HOBBIT come 2008.

And come on… doesn’t that sound like it’d be worth your $10, either good or bad?

We’ve got two mini-reviews today. Here’s the first:

I saw The Last Mimsy on Saturday just hours after seeing 300. I had mixed emotions about seeing this film. On one hand I really liked the Lewis Padgett story “Mimsy were the Borogroves”, I story I read back in high school in the seventies. On the other hand, this is a film made by the devil’s foremost bum polisher, Bob Shaye, the man who condemns Peter Jackson. Okay, so I don’t know for sure that Bob Shaye uses asbestos chapstick and kisses his most infernal majesty’s backside, but that is the impression I get from his statements regarding using Peter Jackson for the Hobbit. Still, I try to mainstain an addititude of love the art, even when the artist looks like a walking cheese dildo.
