What is Movie News After Dark? This is a question that I am almost never asked, but I will answer it for you anyway. Movie News After Dark is FSR’s late-night secretion, a column dedicated to all of the news stories that slip past our daytime editorial staff and make it into my curiously chubby RSS ‘flagged’ box. It will (but is not guaranteed to) include relevant movie news, links to insightful commentary and other film-related shenanigans. I may also throw in a link to something TV-related here or there. It will also serve as my place of record for being both charming and sharp-witted, but most likely I will be neither of the two. I write this stuff late at night, what do you expect?

There’s a suggestive headline I’d like to take back. But I can’t. All is fair in the world of bait-and-switch (that’s not true). The switch is that seeing comedian Zach Galifianakis bring his unique sensibilities to a role made famous by wacko-man Don Knotts isn’t such a bad idea. And a remake of The Incredible Mr. Limpet easily fits into the “it could be worse” category of Hollywood rehashings.

Finally a remake that no one will care about – except for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Don Knotts. And what DON’T they get upset about these days? Am I right or am I right?
