As part of their fall preview, the NY Times takes in Robert Altman and Neve Campbell’s Company (the Joffrey Ballet), and Elvis Mitchell sings the praises of Peter Jackson.

Slingin’ in the Rain.
Rainy days and Mondays always get Neo down…Coming Soon gets a handful of new Matrix: Revolutions images. Mild spoilers, although there’s not much here that you didn’t see in the trailer.
Lost in Translation.
Thrill to the adventures of Arogon, Gandlof Foorgray, Gibley, and the Hoberts. My friend Giovanni sends along these Engrish TTT bootleg captions. The strength of the ring barrel is fading…
Orlando and Gabriel.
Will Tilda Swinton sign on for Constantine? She and Rachel Weisz should add a touch of class to the proceedings, but I still think Keanu in the title role is a deal-killer. South London, not SoCal…
Hawking v. Voltron in the Land of Chocolate.
I’m generally pretty quiet about my side hobby of Simpsons-collecting in this space, but, at the risk of coming off even more Comic Book Guy than usual, two points of interest: Season 3 – “best season ever” – is available on DVD today, and the 13th wave of figures includes this great sculpt of Stephen Hawking (per his request), which I expect will have more crossover appeal than most of the recent (obscure) characters.
Forth Eorlingas.
Also out today (as you probably well know) is the LOTR: Two Towers theatrical DVD. In related news, the happy news came down during my travel days that New Line will be screening the FotR and TTT extended editions prior to RotK this December. While it may require hobbit-like levels of sloth, I think I’m going to gear up for an all-day marathon on the 16th.
It’s Getting Heavier…
(Aw, he’s not heavy, he’s my Frodo, man.) Since they look so grand and since this space has seemed mighty empty of late, here’s the new RotK teaser posters (to go with the Aragorn one released a few months ago.) Enjoy.
Here Comes the Bride.
The teaser poster for Kill Bill (pt. I) makes it online. More appealing than the first trailer, at any rate. Also, in movie news, the trailer for Matrix: Revolutions is now available in Quicktime. I haven’t seen it yet, but word is it’s similar to the footage from Enter the Matrix.
Fractured Mirror.
Shut him up or shut him down.
Speaking of Chewbacca, Rick McCallum seems to be spilling a lot of Episode III knowledge these days, including who dies in the first reel and who (sigh) doesn’t die. Megaspoilers, if you care.
