The Story Behind The Simpsons

22 October 2009 12:35 AM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »

  This year marks the 20th anniversary of America’s longest-running sitcom, The Simpsons. In fact, this week way back in 1989, creator Matt Groening and his team were hard at work on the first season. Unbeknown to them, they were about to unleash a yellow-tinged phenomenon that would assault pop culture for the next two decades…   1. The Tracey Ullman Years In 1987, James L Brooks – veteran TV producer (Taxi, The Mary Tyler Moore Show) and award-winning writer/director (Terms Of Endearment, Broadcast News)...

A Conversation with Danielle Harris

17 October 2009 2:29 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Danielle Harris, star of four films in the Halloween franchise, as well as pictures like The Last Boyscout, City Slickers, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, and the television series Roseanne was kind enough to sit down with me at the 2009 Spooky Empire convention in Orlando, Florida to talk about her career. The interview was filmed live, but due to surrounding noise I have transcribed the conversation below.

Ja/Fangoria: First of all, can I say how nervous I am that we are making a film with John Landis sitting right over there?

Danielle Harris: (laughs)

Ja: We're here at the Spooky Empire convention in Orlando, Florida, and how has it been going for you so far?

Dh: It's been good! It's been really busy.

Ja: Have you met any creeps so far?

Dh: Not really at this show, only a handful. (laughs)

Ja: You actually lived here in Florida, »

Before There Were Websites... (Pt 1)

8 September 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

...there were scrapbooks!

My parents are moving, abandoning my childhood home, and I spent my holiday going through old boxes in storage. It's hard to part with any of these secret keys to unlock my childhood. There's heaps and heaps of homemade comic books featuring my own superhero creations which I shan't share (because they were never optioned for movies... not because they are totally embarrassing. Uh, yeah. Not because of that). Plus lots and lots of drawings of various X-Men, Madonna, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.

Many photo scrapbooks were uncovered including "Movies Of The Eighties"

front cover: Raging Bull (I hadn't seen it. I just knew it was

"important" somehow), E.T. and Aliens

Turns out The Film Experience was no fluke. I was always writing about movies... but when I was in junior high and high school, the writing was in list-making form and smelled like rubber cement instead of Apple computer. »

Nicholson And Brooks Set To Reteam

3 June 2009 1:23 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Jack Nicholson had better start clearing space on his mantelpiece for another Oscar.At least, that’s if his history with James L. Brooks is anything to go by. The legendary actor and the writer-director have worked together three times. One was a cameo in Broadcast News. The other two were on Terms Of Endearment and As Good As It Gets – both times Nicholson won Oscars.So you can excuse Jack for clearing some more room, now that he’s agreed to work with Brooks again, as a very late replacement for Bill Murray in the director’s as-yet untitled Paul Rudd/Reese Witherspoon/Owen Wilson romantic comedy.Murray had been in talks for a long time about playing the father of Rudd’s character, who’s a white-collar executive vying with Wilson’s baseball pitcher for Witherspoon’s affections.But, with just two weeks to go before filming, Murray »

Jack joins Brooks?

2 June 2009 7:33 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

When I want a cookie, I go to my mom. When my mom wants a foot rub, she goes to Jack Nicholson. When Jack Nicholson wants an Oscar, he goes to James L. Brooks. Two of Nicholson's three Oscars have come via Brooks films: 1983's Terms Of Endearment, and 1997's As Good As It Gets. Now perhaps another golden statuette is in Jack's future, as he's in talks to star alongside Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon in Brooks' untitled romantic comedy about a love triangle involving the three... »

Alison's Truly Peculiar Mother’S Day Films

10 May 2009 9:47 AM, PDT | ReelTalkTV.com | See recent ReelTalkTV.com news »

(A list of offbeat Mother's Day movies from Agatha & Freddie's Mom, Alison)

There Are The Obvious Weepy Women-centric Movies That Spring To Mind When I Think Of Mother’S Day. Susan Sarandon Dying In “Stepmom” … Debra Winger Dying In “Terms Of Endearment” … Meryl Streep Saying Goodbye To Her Son In “Sophie’S Choice”. But These Are All So Sad! Why Is Motherhood In The Movies So Tearful? Where Are The Films About Happy Moms? Women Who Love The Daily Challenges Of Raising Children? Women Who Happily Forsake Careers And Independence For Diapers And Tantrums?

Well I Couldn’T Think Of Any Films Like That. So Instead I Made A List Of Films Where Little Brats Make Their Mother’S Life Miserable. Literally. »
