Freddy vs. Agent Cody Banks

freddyvsjasonvscompany1.jpg Did you ever watch two really great, (though unrelated), movies and think “These would be even better if, instead, they were just one movie?” Of course not. You’re not an idiot. Also, you probably don’t work for Hollywood.
Due to the success(?) of the latest Halloween as well as the success (!?) of 2003’s Freddy vs. Jason, Paramount and Newline are teaming up to develop not only
Freddy vs Michael Myers, but also Freddy vs Jason vs Michael Myers.

These movies will hopefully clear up the unanswered questions left by Freddy vs Jason, (specifically, “Why did this movie get made?”). Nothing says “We haven’t bled these franchises dry yet” quite like having Mike Myers resurrect Jason for no fucking reason. Why not go all in and have the whole thing take place on Wolfman’s birthday?
After the jump, you’ll notice a few similarly inappropriate movie posters to distract you while I complain.

Spider-Man 4: Directorial Showdown!

Friday, October 19th, 2007

spideywoody1.jpgAfter spending the past eight years developing his own unique ass-groove in the director’s chair of the Spider-Man series, Sam Raimi has decided to give another ass a shot:

Raimi directed the first three movies and wrote 2007’s Spider-Man 3—but the filmmaker is stepping back to let someone else create their own vision for the web-slinging adventure.

Since Raimi didn’t mention any potential candidates, I decided to gaze into my crystal ball of smartass conjecture and envision how the next Spider-Man adventure might look under the helm of seven fine directors, and compile that information in a handy chart, suitable for framing. (You’re welcome, Sam.)
