Hats off to RED DOG - the guys at Village keep marketing the sh*t out of it and people just keep turning up to see it. The use of little advertorials throughout the Friday's newspapers is genius. Helps that they have a movie that people wants to see - but great work guys!

The Business

2011-09-16T11:49:00.000+10:00

Whenever you're in LA (which, for me, is a lot) you spend a lot of time in a car and therefore listening to the radio. If that's on Monday I tune into KCRW's "The Business". If you're into movies it's a great listen and thanks to the magic of the intertubes we can listen to it anywhere in the world.

Expect it to become a feature here on the 'pan.

The Business is public radio's show about the business of show business, hosted by Kim Masters, Editor at Large of The Hollywood Reporter.

John Horn, staff reporter for the Los Angeles Times joins Kim each week for the Hollywood News Banter, a weekly analysis of the entertainment industry's top stories. He and Masters can also be heard Thursdays at 4:44 on Hollywood Breakdown.

POPBOT SDCC Promo for the Big POPBOT Book

2011-09-14T16:37:00.001+10:00

A bit of fun that Ash and I cooked up for the big book at SDCC

I noted that some folks on the net were wondering if this going to be how Kitty looks in the film.

NO FUCKING WAY!!! GET REAL!!!

POPBOT has a director

2011-09-13T16:51:00.000+10:00

Official press release goes out shortly but Ash beat it the punch - Bruce Hunt is slated to direct POPBOT.

I (for one) am bloody excited - Bruce's is the prefect fit for the project and the right man to work in with us to create one hell of a movie.

That's right - A MOVIE! Something to woot and holler to as we munch popcorn and have a great time watching... in between blowing your mind with amazing visuals and making you question your very existence as you dive deep into it's existential waters.

Okay that last bit was too much.
