“The Incredible Hulk” director Louis Leterrier’s remake of “Clash of the Titans” will be filmed on backlots with lots of greenscreen digital backgrounds like Zack Snyder’s “300,” and will star Sam Worthington in the Harry Hamlin-originated role of Perseus. The only cause I see for celebration is that the movie is written by Lawrence Kasdan […]
It is way to early to think about this (or maybe not, since Oliver Stone’s “W” dramatized the life of a sitting president), but I keep hearing the word “history” used over and over again today in the media. Barack Obama getting elected the 44th President of the United States is certainly historic. I even […]
Have you seen the stickers and yard signs that read: “Colbert ’08 (and so can you)”? Heard enough of Obama/McCain? A fictional presidential campaign for Stephen Colbert has been brewing in the backdrop of many prominent Marvel comic books for the last 10 months. Over a dozen of the comic industry giant’s titles have featured […]
First off, Dustin and I want to thank everyone for who donated any of their time and/or money to the Scene-Stealers.com “Night of Rock n Roll Horror” event last Wednesday night at the Screenland Theater in downtown Kansas City. Everybody had a great time, and almost everybody went home with some kind of badass prize. […]
Well, now that the two-year presidential campaign is finally over, it’s time to turn our heads once again towards the race leading up to next year’s Oscars. 2008 is looking like a pretty paltry year for prestige pics thus far, and now that the Cormac McCarthy adaptation “The Road” (starring Viggo Mortensen) and director Joe […]
Why, oh, why? Apparently, the recent track record (“The Heartbreak Kid,” “Fever Pitch,” “Stuck on You”) of the formerly funny Farrelly brothers (“There’s Something About Mary,” “Kingpin”) was not enought to dissuade MGM from going ahead and giving Peter and Bobby the greenlight on a reboot of a Three Stooges movie. The first thing that […]
That’s right. My band is playing in front of the AMC Olathe Studio 30 (119th & Strang Line Rd.) for free on Saturday night at 6:30pm to celebrate the opening on their Fork & Screen wing of full-service theaters. I got an early peek at them on Tuesday, and this weekend is the first chance […]
Last night was the big press event for locally-based theater chain AMC to show off their newest theater experience, which they’ve titled Fork & Screen. It’s pretty self-explanatory, but there’s a lot more to getting it right than you might think. All I can say is that, considering the high price of concession stand food […]
Two months ago, Scene-Stealers sitegoer Aaron Hale submitted his Top 10 Zombie Movie list. Rather than do a list of my favorite zombie movies, which would be very similar to his, I thought I’d write about something that gets to the very heart of why we love zombie movies so much, even though sometimes we don’t even know it: […]
ADDING MORE GREAT PRIZES SO KEEP CHECKING BACK! We have been lining up lots of cool stuff to do and a lot of great prizes to give away in the raffle Wednesday Oct. 29 at our Night of Rock n Roll Horror event at the Screenland Theater in Kansas City. Here’s the lineup, getting larger […]
Alright, Scene Stealers: If you love making mix compilations as much as I do, you’ll help me out with this one. I’m creating the ultimate spooky, scary rock playlist of all time. In no particular order, these are the songs I’ve got so far. Add your own in the comments below, and if I like […]
I am very excited to invite all of our Lawrence/Kansas City-based Scene-Stealers sitegoers to our first gathering of the masses. It’s a perfect amalgamation of the Halloween spirit, a charitable cause that we truly believe in (Children’s Music Fund), and everything else our website stands for—including partying, rad movie memorablia, trivia, and rock n’ roll! On […]
Manhattan, KS in the house! There was a brief “whoop” from the crowd last night at the advance screening of Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic “W.” when the Bill Snyder-coached 2003 Kansas State football team made a brief appearance in the movie. Having gone to school there, played probably more than a hundred rock shows there, […]
[youtube y2SVdshWjD4 nolink] If you’re a fan of the original BBC version of “The Office,” with Ricky Gervais (whose better-than-average romcom “Ghost Town” was unfortunately ignored by moviegoers last month), then you’ll get this comparison with Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin right away. If you’re not, maybe it will be the impetus for going out […]
The upcoming Academy Award telecast on Feb. 22, 2009 will have contain something during the station breaks that no other Oscar broadcast has in 50 years. Ads for other movies. Any movie up for an award is still prohibited form advertising during commercials, but during this downturn in the movie business, the studios are hoping […]
