Where’s My Kaboom?

Warner Bros. is making a Marvin the Martian movie.

If this doesn't outgross Alvin and the Chipmunks, something will have gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Christian Bale FTW!

I have always wanted to use that acronym.  Thanks to My New Plaid Pants for this tidbit from the Today show, where Christian Bale verbally depants Matt Lauer:

Matt Lauer: So much was made of Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker. It was such a dark role. In some way, perhaps, do you think in real life, it caused him to slip across some line of reality and may have had some role in his accidental death?

Christian Bale: Personally, I find it to be a complete lack of understanding of acting. I also find it very rude to try to create some kind of sound bite for such a tragedy. The man was a complex man, a good man, but you know what? I saw him having the best time playing The Joker. He was someone who completely immersed himself in his role. As do I. But in the end of the day, he was having a wonderful time doing it, He couldn’t have been happier doing it."

11 for 11 – The Dark Knight Reviews

I absolutely cannot wait, but does anyone else feel like the marketing has peaked too soon?  I was under the impression that it came out this weekend, given how much noise it’s been making.

Before the Thunder…

…comes the madness.  Rain of Madness.

And In The Least Surprising News of the Day

Megan Fox has broken up with Brian Austin Green.

Seriously… how did it take this long?

Wordle of the Week & Post #1000

I know this is an easy one, but this movie has been on cable multiple times every night this month, and I just wanted to see what this monologue would look like in Wordle.

This also happens to be my 1000th post on Craig’s MovieBlog.  It seems like that should symbolize something other than a lot of wasted time and a public outlet for the ramblings of my brain, so I want to show my appreciation to anyone reading, sending email, linking to this site from their blogs, and so on.  I’ve been lucky enough to banter back and forth with a few of the folks that I read regularly (The Jay, Burbanked, Movie Marketing Madness, etc.), and I’ve enjoyed all of it.

Happy 4th of July to those of you in the States, and see you all at post 2000.
