Frank Miller's Ultimate Experience
Monday, March 14, 2005 5:05 PM
|
|
 For
years Frank Miller said that Sin City would
NEVER be made into a movie. Miller had worked in
the industry and saw how ideas were diluted in the
process of getting to the big screen. Frank
said that he'd NEVER let that happen to his baby, SIN
CITY.
Then along came Robert Rodriguez, who convinced
Frank that Sin City could be translated [not
adapted] into a movie. At first, Miller was skeptical...
but then he saw what Rodriguez could do.
Miller even got to sign on as co-director which
he called the "ulitmate experience." Click HERE
to read what else he has to say about it.

Don't Come Calling on Tuesday
Sunday, March 13, 2005 9:54 AM
|
Come Tuesday night at 10:00pm
the Zablo house will be on lockdown. No phone calls.
No e-mails. No "Honey, can you come here for a second."
That's because the fourth season of The
Shield premieres, and although I'll be DVRing
it, I don't want to miss even a second.
The Shield has been consistently
one of the best shows on tv, and I have no reason
to believe that this season will be any different. There's
a new Captain coming in, the Strike Force
has been disbanded and a couple of new characters [besides
Glenn Close] will come to the forefront.
The
website has been updated with character profiles,
wallpapers, teaser trailers and more. It's going to be
a great point to jump on board, if you haven't watched.
If you already watch, then I'm preaching to the choir.
And don't worry, I won't be bothering you
during the premiere!

Diesel Pacifies w/ 2 Projects
Saturday, March 12, 2005 9:23 AM

Diesel was born to play Riddick. And despite the
fact that the "Pitch
Black" sequel didn't live up to expectations,
I would love to see Riddick's return.
And it appears that Diesel would as well.
According to Dark
Horizons, Diesel has been quoted as saying,
"I've always had 'C2' planned. I'm silently
- and I shouldn't even say this - I'm silently working on
"C2" with some of the outlines that were
created when I first thought of doing the three films."
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
The return of Riddick right after Diesel's
pet project [which he will direct and star in], "Hannibal."
And, no, we're NOT talking about Hannibal Lector.

Hootie...
Your Way
Thursday, March 10, 2005 7:05 PM

Have you seen the Burger King commercial
that's so bad it's good? The spot features an African-American
singing cowboy, some Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders,
some hot chicks in "Daisy Duke" shorts
and the Burger King.
The first couple of times I saw the commercial
I couldn't look away. And it wasn't just the babes
in short-shorts. The guy singing looked and sounded
so familiar. And then it hit me!
The singer was Darius Rucker. You
know, Hootie. As in Hootie and the Blowfish!
A few years ago it seemed like every other
song that you heard on the radio was by Hootie and
the Blowfish. The funny thing was that everyone loved
their songs. Young, old, black, white, Hispanic... it
didn't matter because Hootie and the Blowfish could
do no wrong.
And just as quickly as they appeared, Hootie
and crew faded. And now Darius is crooning for
Burger King.
I wonder what the Blowfish are up
to?

Sin City Coolness

By now most SZoners know that Sin City
is based on Frank Miller's comic books by the
same name.
And most of you know that Frank Miller is
co-directing with Robert Rodriguez.
You probably even know that Miller's original
comic panels have been used as storyboards for the
movie [which premieres April 1st].
But, did you know that by clicking on THIS
LINK you can see production shots,
a comic book comparison of panels to movie
footage, Miller's storyboard art and even
the trailer.
Now if April 1st would just hurry up and get
here!

The Truce
Has Ended... More Sin City Coolness

 Ok,
I'll admit it. The final Sin City poster was a bit
of a letdown for me.
You all KNOW how much I LOVE Sin City. Everything
to do with the movie up to this point has helped to build
the anticipation for the April 1st release.
Then... the final poster. And it's basically a reworking
of all of the other advance posters.
But fear not ZONErs! Miller and Rodriguez
have more than kicked it up a notch with the latest Sin
City trailer.
You can see it by clicking HERE.
Rocks doesn't it?
Now even the final poster looks a bit better!
