until the next TTT trailer. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this on Kazaa that day and not have to resort to scavenging the huge pile of “700 free hours” AOL CD’s in the lobby.

Whoa.
Matrix spoilers a-plenty. Don’t read if you don’t wanna know…I mean it.
Hack Attack
In the ongoing Superman saga over at Warner Brothers, McG is out and Brett Ratner is in (with Anthony Hopkins as Jor-El). Can’t say that’s much of an upgrade.
Fightin’ Wuma.
You’ve probably seen these by now, but in my absence Time-Asia posted the first pics from Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino’s next.
Screenplay of Glass.
Today Kevin Murphy blogs the trailer for Adaptation, the new film from the Being John Malkovich team of Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman. He can’t say Nicolas Cage has been much of a draw lately, but perhaps this’ll be a comeback role for the star of Raising Arizona.
Fishing Expedition.
More spoiler-filled pics from The Two Towers, including the first look at Smeagol and Deagol. We’re getting closer…
Please don’t get Hasselhoff.
This can’t be true, can it? Apparently Tim Burton is planning a Batman musical for Broadway. Did he see Joel Schumacher’s Batman on Ice revue? Must the Caped Crusader face yet another such indignity? Tune in next week…
Mea Culpa means I’m Responsible,
(Big Gulp means ice cream headache.) Newsweek critic David Ansen revisits some of his earlier reviews, downgrading Minority Report in the process.
No Strength Left in the World of Men.
Since no update would be complete without ’em, we’ve got more Two Towers pics, including all-new shots of Eomer and Faramir. Spoilers for those who haven’t read the trilogy.
Nobody picked Dude, Where’s My Car?
The 2002 Sight and Sound Top Ten Poll. (found by way of this Slate article.) Held once a decade, it’s worth perusing for a glimpse into the tastes that drive many film directors and critics. Unlike the Slate writer, I have no issues with Citizen Kane being No. 1, although he’s right in noting it’s a bit dubious to consider the first two Godfathers together. By that logic Godfather III should drag ’em all out of the top twenty.
