I've gone and applied for this year's BUTT-NUMB-A-THON, Ain't It Cool News' 24-hour film festival. You can only go if the Fat Geek (as I so imaginatively call Harry Knowles) approves your application. I've wanted to go for years, as it sounds bloody fantastic. 24 straight hours of new and vintage films, with all sorts of surprises along the way.
God, to have been there in 2003, when both Peter Jackson and Mel Gibson were on hand to premiere, months in advance, both RETURN OF THE KING and PASSION OF THE CHRIST. (Which reminds me of the best line in this week's SOUTH PARK: "Say what you want about Mel Gibson, the man knows plot structure!")
I have no idea what kind of films to expect, other than I'm 99% positive that Sylvester Stallone will be there to premiere the new RAMBO. (formerly JOHN RAMBO, formerly RAMBO IN THE SERPENT'S EYE, formerly RAMBO AND THE SEVEN CRYSTAL TIGERS. Okay, I made the last one up. But is that not one SWEET poster?
Maybe if I meet him, I could tell him about the egg whites.
In other movie news, apparently Ben Affleck has totally reinvented himself as a damn good filmmaker with GONE BABY GONE. Good for him!
Oh, and remember when I called Newsarama's message boards a wretched hive of scum and fucktardery? Never have I wanted to smack an entire message board as much as I do now.
