href=\"http:\/\/filmforce.ign.com\/articles\/502\/502930p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">selma blair<\/a>. ign filmforce has a coo interview today with <a href=\"http:\/\/filmforce.ign.com\/articles\/503\/503273p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">guillermo del toro<\/a>, where he discusses bringing <i>hellboy<\/i> to the screen, his take on the character of hellboy, and the parallels he saw between hellboy and him. interesting stuff. tomorrows the premiere, and i already have my ticket. woo! and as a sidenote\u2026everytime i see a pic of del toro, he looks more and more like harry knowles of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aintitcool.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aicn<\/a>. freaky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>new robin?<\/b><br>a quick article today on ign also mentioned a weird little rumor circulating about warner bros wanting to do another \u201cre-tooling\u201d of one of their characters. there are talks about wanting to reinterpret <a href=\"http:\/\/filmforce.ign.com\/articles\/503\/503527p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">robin<\/a>, the boy wonder himself\u2026twisting \u201chim\u201d into a \u201cher\u201d, and making her all funny and hip and whatever blah blah blah. wtf. they apparently want to gear it towards the tweens, and rumor has it that theyre trying to sign on hermione granger herself, emma watson. so not only do they want to shit on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.m3ntalcontraband.com\/journal\/archives\/000549.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">catwoman<\/a> and watch her go down in flames, theyre taking <i>robin<\/i> with her. idiots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>showest previews<\/b><br>and in a hat-trick, ign also posted a report from showest about various <a href=\"http:\/\/filmforce.ign.com\/articles\/503\/503218p1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paramount previews<\/a> they had a chance to view. these included <a href=\"http:\/\/www.m3ntalcontraband.com\/journal\/archives\/000528.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sky captain<\/a> (rock!), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0364751\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">without a paddle<\/a> with seth green and matthew lillard, <a

href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0339291\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lemony snicket\u2019s a series of unfortunate events<\/a>. while im not too familiar with the books, i thought it interesting the cast that they assembled for the movie, which include the likes of jude law, meryl streep, luis guzman, and jim carrey. wow. should be interesting. oh, and one quick note too. near the end of the article, they listed other movies in production, which included amongst them the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.m3ntalcontraband.com\/journal\/archives\/000480.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aeon flux<\/a> movie. whats interesting is that they mentioned <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000531\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">frances mcdormand<\/a> will be playing aeons sis. hmm\u2026didnt know she had a sis. and an old one too\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\"><b>spider-man 2 webisodes<\/b><br>whew\u2026ok. this final bit is actually from yesterday. i just didnt find the time to post it. the apple quicktime site has a series of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/trailers\/sony_pictures\/spider-man_2\/webisodes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spider-man2 web featurettes<\/a> (not sure how long theyve been up) which include coo behind-the scene looks at spider-man at comic-con 2003, jonah jameson, and the spider-man costume. they also have a link to the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/trailers\/sony_pictures\/spider-man_2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spider-man 2 trailer<\/a>, which is similar to the international trailer mentioned in a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.m3ntalcontraband.com\/journal\/archives\/000549.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prior post<\/a>. doc ock definitely looks pretty coo, and maybe ill actually catch <i>spider-man<\/i> in the theaters this time around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-paragraph\">&gt; <a href=\"http:\/\/filmforce.ign.com\/articles\/503\/503273p1.html\"
