The Office adapted for film

post from Filmstalker on 27 August 2008 11:19:39 AM. © Filmstalker

The Office is a hugely popular comedy show that first started in the UK and spread across the globe with different countries creating their own unique versions of the comedy, but as yet there's not even been a hint of a film version, until now. The Office is set to become a feature film, but not from its UK origins, it's going to come from the German television version called Stromberg....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

"I know you are, but what am I"

56! 56 is what you are, Paul Reubens!

JA from MNPP here. The word of the day is: BIRTHDAY! Everybody scream! A very happy BIRTHDAY going out to Mr. Reubens today. I already threw him some Pee-Wee-less birthday love over at my blog, but... well, I can't help myself. It always comes back to Pee Wee. I know... if I love him so much, why don't I marry him? Oh I would. You hear me, Paul? Make an honest man out of me!

So... back to sanity. I don't think anyone can dispute that Pee Wee Herman is Paul Reubens' finest accomplishment. Whether we're talking the racier show he did on-stage in the early 80s, or Pee Wee's Big Adventure with Tim Burton, or The TV Show That Raised Me, Pee Wee's Playhouse... it's all gold, man.

But I think it's fair to say that Pee Wee's Big Adventure is what most of us think of first. Whether he was learning that there's no basement in the Alamo or the fateful tale of Large Marge or simply modeling a lovely little lady outfit for discerning gentleman police officer, PWBA is chock-filled with hilarity. Speck the dog! Francis! "I pity the foo' that don't eat Mr. T cereal!" I wanna hear what y'all's favorite part is. Give some love! If you need me, I'll be over here listening to reason. Shh!!! I'm listening to reason!

TWILIGHT Adds More Scenes

Now if I say ‘TWILIGHT cuts some scenes out of the final print’, that would probably not sound good to TWILIGHT fans out there but this in fact is a good info. Those of you who’ve read the book and are concerned that some parts might be left out of the movie version could worry [...]

Jenkins & Melancholy in Toronto

Jenkins & Melancholy sounds like either a 60's or early 90's band. But what we are talking about here is filmmaker Barry Jenkins showing his movie Medicine for Melancholy at the Toronto International Film Festival. indieWIRE has a nice interview with Jenkins; apparently breaking up is good for indie film:

(iW) "Please discuss how the idea for "Medicine For Melancholy" came about...

(Jenkins) This film spun out of breakup (lame, I know) and a filmmaking drought in the four years after graduating college. I hadn't made a film, not even a single short, since leaving film school and this breakup brought me face to face with where I was in my life and where I was and wasn't heading. When you're in a relationship, that union serves as a sort of buffer to the world. It didn't matter that I was a filmmaker, yet wasn't making films. I was in love. Being tossed out of that shell was a wake up call. The film literally grew out of those two realizations, the pain of heartbreak and a desire to prove my chosen craft. Once I opened myself to letting my personal experiences here in San Francisco inform the narrative, the movie was born."

The Coffin trailer scares western horror

There's a trailer online for a Thai horror film called The Coffin which is inspired by the real life ritual of Thai people that in order to ward off bad luck and prolong life, they get themselves into a coffin. Yeah, that's what I thought, sounds crazy. Just wait until you see the trailer, it's more than crazy, it's positively frightening....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.
