I've been waiting for something... anything to be revealed from Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One! We've hardly seen anything from the film or heard anything about it, but today we can share the official logo with you. Yeah, I know it's not much, but it's still exciting! It's probably a lot more exciting if you've read the book. If you haven't read the book, you're missing out on something really special. You should definitely read the book before the movie comes out!
Ready Player One is one of my most anticipated films of 2018. I'm hoping that we get to see some of the first images from the film sometime within the next couple of weeks before Comic-Con, where I'm pretty confident that Steven Spielberg will reveal the first trailer or at least a couple of clips.
I just want to see what Spielberg's vision of the Oasis looks like!

For those of you that have read Ernest Cline's Ready Player One, then you know it’s packed with glorious references from the '80s including the work of director Steven Spielberg. While at the press event for his upcoming film The Bfg, Spielberg talked about those '80s references and explained that some of the things will be changed for the film, specifically with his own past work, but not everything. He also said that the reason he took on the challenge of adapting the book into a film is because of his love of the '80s!
Spielberg was asked how he was planning to prevent the retro reference-filled story from being a personal "victory lap" of the 1980s, and this was his reply:
“I think we were pretty awesome in the 1980s. I love the '80s, and I think one...

It's the latest in our favorite fashion series to date: Lady Gaga as your Mom in all her biggest '80s moments! We've seen her as momma on her honeymoon in a silky pink robe and mom doing the walk of shame in a concert tee and fishnets. Today, the "G.U.Y." singer is flashing back a bit further to the most special night of high school: the senior prom! Is Taylor Kinney her lucky date? And if so, does he know those flowers are way too big for a corsage? We're surprised the "Applause" artist didn't go with a more I Love the '80s look for her big night out. This cream halter with the front slit could use a little more taffeta or neon. And yet the rest of the classic old prom features...

Our eight-year-old selves are going ga-ga over Rita Ora's mini dress. Not only is it covered in our favorite toy of the '80s, but all those poppy pastel colors are like a Lisa Frank notebook come to life! VH1's I Love the '80s better be taking notes. But wait—it gets even better! This cocktail frock is actually a collaboration between the creators of My Little Pony and designer Alice Vandy to celebrate the colorful cartoon's 30 year anniversary! We're so psyched that we forgot to freak out about the whole 30 years ago part! So the question is: does the "How We Do" singer do Rainbow Dash and her four-legged friends justice? We're sadly not so sure... That red choker may be an...

Wilco: The Whole Love (dBpm)
The last two extra tracks on the deluxe version are "Speak into the Rose," a wonderfully propulsive Krautrock rip, and a less-plush alternate take of "Black Moon," a gently jangling ballad that delicately wafts the deluxe album to a beautiful, tender conclusion. Think about the contrast there, then imagine them combined in one song. You've basically imagined the whiplash-inducing opening track on the main album. I've had my problems with Wilco in the past: S/T was kinda boring, Sky formulaically pretty, the Jim O'Rourke-induced artiness of Ghost too stiffly self-conscious. Here, the beauty and the experimentation have been more organically merged, suggesting that Nels Cline has finally gelled as a member.
Later tracks find their '70s rock fixation leading to some mildly psychedelic touches, some gritty garage-rock moves (even Mysterians-esque organ on "I Might"), a light-hearted update of The Band's sound...

X Factor hopeful Katie Waissell has been compared to Jedward after her controversial first audition. The 24-year-old receptionist, who claims that she has wanted to be famous for her entire life, divides the judges with her performances of 'We Are The Champions' and Etta James's 'At Last'. Speaking before her audition, the singer, dressed in a Desperately Seeking Susan-era Madonna outfit, says: "I love the '80s, I love Madonna, Freddie Mercury is my idol. I have wanted to be famous for all my life. "Freddie Mercury is my icon and I love Etta James. Sometimes I wish I was their love child! I want to let the whole world know who I am." Standing at the side of the stage, her father adds: "She has tried very, very hard and she's been trying very hard for a long time." Waissell's audition gets off to a shaky...

Like the cancer he is -- itchy rectal -- I think we may have finally found a cure for Seth MacFarlane. He's already pretty much dominated Sundays on Fox with three shows that are like nesting dolls of ass-suck, and now he's gonna go to the big screen. And I'm hoping this element of over-saturation will finally pop him like the festering acne on his fan base.
Universal has decided to pony up (hey, there's an idea! Maybe one of the characters can be a pony, Ooh! a My Little Pony but if it's got a girl voice we won't know how to write lines for it other than stuff about its period, man this crystal meth is the fucking Tits, that's what we'll call her My Tittle Pony! Voiced by Tina Yothers) the reported $65 million dollars for MacFarlane's big screen directorial debut -- Ted, a Hard R CGI comedy...

Law Abiding Citizen: "Law Abiding Citizen is a terrible movie, but it didn't have to be. I suppose you could say that about a lot of films, but this one in particular dabbled in a few ideas that were above its pay grade, so to speak. It hinted at being a film about our judicial system, about exposing its flaws, about breaking them open and revealing the sometimes ethically and morally insidious nature of the law, and the way efficiency often trumps justice. But it never digs into those ideas, instead devolving into a clunky and ham-fisted action-thriller that eschews logic in favor of hollow sentiment and a body count." - Dustin Rowles

It's been a pretty great year for independent cinema. The Oscar buzz is pretty much 50 percent on the smaller movies with the lower budgets, and it's a trend I'm incredibly stoked for. As the resident indie jeebus, I review the movies that nobody ever sees. It's one of the perks of living in the whorehouse -- you actually get to see a little more than the average bear. I'm constantly at the movies, and whenever I mention what flicks I'm catching, it's accompanied by glazed-over expressions and blank stares. More often than not, it's some sort of narcissistic, masturbatory navel-gazer that thinks it's daring or original because someone filmed someone running through the woods or staring at a beverage in a shadowy smoky home and overlaid it with one of the whiter breads from our music list.
But this year had some solid, solid work, spread all the hell over a bunch of genres.

What the hell is an independent film? It's kind of like the Pop/Rock section of the chain store music sections. It's a broad umbrella that covers a lot of ground. An independent film used to mean any small film not made by the studios, but now all the major studios have their own independent arms. It used to mean films that played only at tiny La/NY theatre chains and film festivals, but now Sundance and South by Southwest, and even Fantastic Fest have become early way stations for studios to give filmmakers major releases. With the dawning of digital film, easy access to home computing editing software, and Netflix and YouTube, anyone can make a movie and get it out there for people to see. For my purposes, I defined independent film as a small, lower budget film that touches you on a personal level and speaks only to you.

To a TV executive, I'd imagine the phrase "special guest stars Elizabeth Banks and Edward Norton" would conjure up images of creative brilliance and ratings gold. But in actual practice, the stunt casting of the former as a boozy child hater and especially the latter as dreary Spandau Ballet bassist Izzy Lafontaine, threatened to derail last night's episode of ABC's normally consistent freshman hit. To be honest, Norton can't take all the blame for not scoring a single decent laugh during the Spandau bit. Sure, his British accent was too strained, his "I love the '80s" hair too obvious, but...
