It’s dark, and it’s about to get darker. You slide ten cents worth of plastic onto your face because it’s supposed to make you see an extra dimension, and you’re paying more for it. There’s no need to do a full intro on 3D. We all know it. We all have opinions about it. Some movies that utilize it are heart-stopping while others are migraine makers without the chance of a refund. Yesterday, after coming late to the game on this one, I discovered the 3D world of sound, and it created an experience more immersive than any 3D I’ve ever seen. Strap on your headphones, take a few minutes of your day off from studying Greek Literature (you won’t use it) or ordering lunch for your boss (he can skip it), and check it out:

“The regime used to suffocate you in a lot of ways, but these past few weeks have awakened something that was dormant in a lot of Egyptian people. It’s going to be harder for any government to put that out.” That’s a quote from Marwan Hamed, a Cairo-based filmmaker who spoke with The L.A. Times’ Steve Zeitchik on the heels of a massive revolution in Egypt that saw a de factor dictator out of office and the spectre of democracy on the horizon. The country has a long way to go, but it’s not far out of bounds to expect Egyptian filmmakers to start utilizing the freedom of speech and creative freedom that’s suddenly sprouted from Tahrir Square.

Odds are since you’re reading this, presumably on the internet and not on our weekly printed newsletter distributed at your local Whole Foods, you’ve heard that Hatchet II is, for the most part, no longer playing in theaters. I don’t want to use the word “pulled” because that just sounds so violent – this is a kid’s site, for fucks sake. So you’re cruising around the internet and probably reading a lot of people’s opinions on why the film was removed from AMC screens. On one hand, the film didn’t make a lot of money. On the other, the film was unrated and some are suggesting the MPAA leaned on AMC to force their hand in removing the film from theaters. I’m sure there are a few other theories out there, at least one of them involving lizard people. Not one content to just blame the lizard people at every turn, I decided to put on my journalist hat (it’s a fedora) and actually talk to someone at AMC. That man is John Campea who has been a presence for years with AMC’s movie blogging and had a hand in helping Hatchet II find its way into theaters.

If you had to miss out on all the waiting-in-line fun of Comic-Con 2010 because cash was a little short this time around, or if you went to Comic-Con but regret spending so much on it, this handy guide should make everything a bit easier for next year. This isn’t one of those guides where we encourage you to get a fake mustache and pretend you’re a mustachioed J.J. Abrams in order to sneak in. No, dear reader. We would never support anything like that. What we do support is this fool-proof way that gets you an actual, non-forged, totally real, basically free ticket that you can flash around anywhere at Comic-Con and not have to worry about being chased by security when your spirit gum comes loose and your mustache is hanging off your mouth. This is how to legitimately get into Comic-Con for free.

Devin Faraci is worried that the modern movie geek is ailing. Apparently the internet is overrun with pretenders, infiltrating movies websites and leaving mean comments. Does this mean the era of the geek is over? Are there far too many posers? Take heart, friends. I’ve run some tests, and I’m pleased to announce that his/her health is better than ever.

It seems like a no-brainer: putting the movie memorabilia in the same place as the movies.

Everyone else’s Best of the Decade List is trash. Inside, feast your eyes on the most definitive list of the damned decade.

Every publication (including this one) is stuffing their Best Of lists down your throat. The Rejects want to turn the tables and ask what YOU think the best movies of the decade were. Give your (adjusted for inflation) three cents inside…

Robert Fure takes his TV watching seriously and you’d better too, or he will hit you. Really.

From the people that brought you Sneezing Panda, it’s a movie rental concept that will rival Netflix, Redbox, and that guy that comes over sometimes and acts out all the parts to Sleepless in Seattle for you despite the restraining order.

Some say “If you’re not five minutes early, you’re five minutes late.” Well, rage-aholic Robert Fure says “If you’re not five minutes early, you’re a %^@#bag.”

Bryan Singer is bringing back the Man of Steel…

Fat Guy Kevin Carr is known for his love of the trashy girls, and he demanded a list honoring these ladies.
