Merrick here...
Early last month, Brett Ratner did an interview with MTV regarding BEVERLY HILLS COP 4.
A particular quote in the interview lead many to the logical conclusion that the new BHC project would have a considerably softer tone/rating than its predecessors.
When asked what is biggest challenge would be, Ratner seemed to indicate that his new film would be geared towards a very PG audience.

Hey folks, Harry here with a nice 15 minute or so interview with James Cameron in his lair, where he's working on finishing AVATAR... tick ... tick ... tick ... And yes, I saw the piece that 60 MINUTES did, but Morley looked a bit lost and out of his realm in the interview. This guy for CNN, he's a geek - you can see it. Now, he doesn't seem to be greatly informed, but he at least has a healthy appreciation for Genre work.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here taking a break from the Holiday Gift Guide to run a little spot o' news for ya' this morning. I love me some Steven Spielberg (obviously) and I love me some Hugh Jackman (WOLVERINE: ORIGINS notwithstanding) and more importantly I love the sound of this project they're doing together.

Hey folks, Harry here with not a typical story. Yes, I know that Moriarty is no longer writing at AICN. And I know that he's gone in hiding under the alias of Drew McWeeny - which couldn't possibly be real. And you may notice on his Twitatar, that he's plucked bald. How did that happen? The man, willingly, walked into a screening of OLD DOGS.

Hey folks, Harry here with the final late column, I hope, of 2009. This past week involved A LOT of work to nail various things regarding BNAT1138 down. And I was at one point thinking I’d never ever have time to do anything but BNAT – till BNAT, but thankfully the week worked out and I seem to be on track to get completely caught up. This usually happens a couple of times a year, usually during a trip, a film festival or my yearly BNAT breakdown.

It is strange how sometimes you can’t shake a single word from your mind when you see a movie. It is especially ironic, if that single word is actually a part of the title for the film, but I really can’t think of a descriptive word more appropriate for LOVELY BONES, because LOVELY BONES is absolutely lovely.
I know what you’re thinking. How can a film about the rape and murder of a beautiful 14 year old girl be anything other than traumatic, but frankly… the film is lovely.

Merrick here...
60 MINUTES featured a 12 minute(ish) report on AVATAR last night. CBS has been kind enough to provide the piece for all to see via miraculous embed. I haven't watched this yet, so I can't vouch for its coolness. Here ya go...

Merrick again...
The sequence linked below is confirmed. It's from a very early draft of the script.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with my chat with the legendary director Mr. Werner Herzog. You’ve probably noticed my enthusiasm for his film BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS which began at Telluride. I would call it his new film, but the dude has another film in the can already (MY SON, MY SON WHAT HAVE YE DONE? which also showed at Telluride).

Marking Nine Years at AICN....
In 2000, around Thanksgiving, I signed onto to AICN to add anime coverage to its then running Asian media column. Soon there after, as that feature faded away, AICN Anime was spun into its own column.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. You might call this a bit of non-news... and you might be right. But you'd be dead wrong if you don't think the below isn't worth posting.
What I've embedded is a mod which originated here and just like the unofficial Ghostbusters Mod that was linked and forwarded across the internet a few years ago I'd be willing to bet that this amazing piece of work kick-starts a real next-gen console Back to the Future game.
