New DVD releaseabout, cotton, films, great, josie, songs, talks

Generation C is being invaded by the B-Girls. 80s cult singer Josie Cotton, best known for blurring the angst of both liberals and conservatives with “Johnny Are You Queer?,” sees the science fiction claustrophobia arising from the coronavirus pandemic and wants to help. Cotton joined the Minutemen’s Mike Watt, the Runaways’ Cherie Currie, and Eddie Spaghetti on the song “Flatten the Curve,” to benefit the Jubilee Consortium and the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Everyone else, she advises to cuddle up with a bad movie. Cotton ventured beyond the valley of the dolls in a “so-bad-they’re-good” movie hunt to accompany this…

What The Raid 3 Would Have Been About

New DVD releaseabout, would

Director Gareth Evans has been doing the rounds promoting his new Sky Atlantic series Gangs of London (it’s bloody good stuff) and recently stopped by the Empire podcast to chat about a jumble of different subjects, including his standout action films, The Raid and The Raid 2. The conversation soon turned to why there hasn’t been a third film featuring Jakarta’s ‘rookie’ special tactics officer Rama (Iko Uwais) kicking people in the face. As huge fans of both of Evans’ Raid movies and watching people get kicked in the face, it’s certainly a question we’ve asked ourselves. Well, from Evans’…

Quentin Tarantino Talks About the Luke Cage Movie He Almost Made

New DVD releaseabout, almost, movie, quentin, talks, tarantino

Once upon a time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino toyed with bringing Marvel Comics superhero Luke Cage to the screen. This was admittedly early in his career—after he’d directed Reservoir Dogs to critical and commercial acclaim but before he’d even shot the ‘90s-defining Pulp Fiction—and well before our current Marvel Studios glut. Nevertheless, he still gets nostalgic about the project. For instance, while it’s been known he considered Laurence Fishburne to play the unbreakable man, he just revealed that he also thought about Wesley Snipes in the role. This and more came up during Tarantino’s fascinating conversation on Amy Schumer’s podcast,…

Contagion: A Warning About Lies in a Crisis

New DVD releaseabout, contagion, crisis, warning

I refuse to eat peanuts at a bar. It’s nothing personal against them, as they can make for an excellent snack, but like cashews, pretzels, chips, or any other miscellaneous “open” food, it remains open to anyone. And I saw a scene begin like this in Contagion nine years ago. Actually it’s the first scene of the movie when Gwyneth Paltrow’s Beth Emhoff sits at an airport bar, sweating profusely. As she absently speaks on the phone with an illicit lover, director Steven Soderbergh’s camera is far less interested in her conversation than where her hands are going: on the…
