(Mmm Joel Edgerton in jodhpurs.) When I saw The Place Beyond the Pines this past weekend I saw the last trailer for Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby again and it reminded me that I cannot possibly explain it with words but against all odds I am very much looking forward to this movie. Alright I suppose it's just this - Fitzgerald's book isn't going anywhere. It can still sit over there and be my favorite book. And honestly I think it's perfectly impossible to take that book and make an adaptation of it for movies that accomplishes what the book accomplishes so perfectly. So to my eyes this big loud 3D maelstrom that Baz has in store for us is just maybe trying to accomplish something totally different? And that something different looks big and loud and fun. And I'm just gonna roll with it. I've got my fingers crossed for good work from Joel Edgerton and Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher, and it's totally possible that Leo and Tobey could surprise me. But I kinda just want Baz to immerse me in an Art Deco Wonderland too, ya know? Okay all blather aside, here's the brand new trailer for the movie. Be big, or go home! . .

There Will Be A ‘Point Break’ Remake, Which Is Why You Need To Watch The ‘Elysium’ Trailer
by Jason Avant
As a moviegoer who is also a surfer (the thing done on waves while standing on a surfboard, in addition to the Internet kind), I both love and hate Point Break. Fun Fact: it was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty fame. It also has a ridiculous plot (FBI agent [...]

It’s Official: Harrison Ford No Longer Gives A Rat’s A*s About Anything
by Jason Avant
BossclaireshortyI don't care about this "article" at all (hiint, it's not one, really), but I just wanted a reason to share Harrison Ford. Because Duh.
My son’s been home sick and couchbound for the past couple of days, and so last night we watched Cowboys and Aliens, which surprisingly did not make him feel worse. Two things can be said about it: it’s not terrible, and Harrison Ford actually looks like he’s enjoying himself in the role of a grizzled [...]

Doctor Who's new companion is only lovable when the show isn't trying to make us love her
by Charlie Jane Anders
BossclaireshortySpoilers if you haven't watched yet, but not one of my favorite episodes. I agree with the writer about when it went off the rails. The comments are really interesting on this one too. Anyhow, I'm excited for the rest of this season.
It's part of the ritual of Doctor Who these days: First we have to be introduced to a new time-traveling companion (for the third time, in the case of Clara.) And then, in her second story, we have to get reminded just why she's so amazingly special and wonderful. That's this week's episode, which is kind of mixed bag. Spoilers ahead...
