Reel Facts & Opinions

FACT: The Visual Effect Society handed out their annual awards last night, with INCEPTION taking home the lion’s share of the prizes.

OPINION: One of the four awards INCEPTION took home was the Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects Driven Motion Picture. Effects-driven is exactly what INCEPTION is, which is what separates it from other Best Pic nominees, which are acting-driven. This is why Christopher Nolan did not get a Best Director nomination; the little bald gold dude loves acting over visceral experiences.

FACT: Speaking of Nolan…Joseph Gordon-Levitt (INCEPTION) is in talks to star in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.

OPINION: The role for Levitt is still under wraps. A year ago, internet rumors had him as The Riddler, which is as unlikely now as it was then, especially since the film already has two confirmed villains.

FACT: Warner Bros. has picked up the movie rights to the 11-book series of mystery novels featuring Irwin M. Fletcher, also known as “Fletch”.

OPINION: Yes, this means they are remaking/rebooting/reimagining/re-whatever the FLETCH movies from the 1980’s starring Chevy Chase. The creative well in Hollywood continues to run dry, and this blogger is quite sure the incredible acting talents of Seth Rogen will be in the lead role. Standing by for more shit…

What say you?
