It seems that unless you have the right name in your movie title, you’re unlikely to make headway in Hollywood. Why is that? What is the real power of the “brand” and whose at fault if new ideas get buried in the process. That Guy With The Glasses contributor Matthew “Film Brain” Buck ponders this on his personal Tumblr page. The host of Bad Movie Beatdown and The Projector also wonders if one show isn’t having a negative impact on the other. Personally I only watch the Projector episodes (a review of theaters that hit the UK, where he lives, prior to worldwide release) when it focuses on a movie I might be curious about (and I have to at least heard of it before) while I watch Bad Movie Beatdown for the analysis of why a movie is bad, which is of interest to me not as a critic but as a writer who doesn’t want to make the same errors. I like Matt’s work and would watch more of the other show if I had the spare time. I used to have that.
That’s not how you stop a sneeze.

This is why there’s no Jake & Leon this week. I’ve been wanting to fix the logo’s orientation for awhile. You may remember the previous header was like this.
Logo’s kind of a mess. I haven’t wanted to use it for the video stinger and I only used it on this year’s business cards because I wanted it to match the one on the site. This one look a little better. I just wish I had it up in time for the anniversary. Thus I’m ready for the next phase of BW’s upgrade, which you’ll see soon enough.
I think the Bullios’ undees changed at least two different colors.
So what do you think of the new header? Tell me in the comments.
KENNEDY John F. Kennedy (Photo credit: thesmuggler- Night of the Swallow”)
While everyone is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, it should be remembered what almost sunk it, the assassination of John F. Kennedy. If the BBC didn’t give the pilot a second airing the series may never have happened.
The official report is that Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald, firing from the book depository. However, there are conspiracy theorists who insist that there was another gunman, and one of them is Oliver Stone, a man who seems willing to not let facts get in the way of his docudramas. At least that’s what my Reviewers Unknown colleague Chris “Rowdy C.” Moore says. As the host of TV Trash, Rowdy usually goes over bad TV shows and the occasional TV Treasure. But living in Dallas means that every year around this time the conspiracy theorists rise up again, so he uses Stone’s movie, JFK. to poke holes in the conspiracy theory that surrounds JFK’s assassination. To help counter he goes into his usual format and reviews the Quantum Leap episode “Lee Harvey Oswald”.
Since I don’t have his permission to post the videos themselves, which I believe is still a big deal in the “Reviewaverse” community, here’s a link to the page on his website with the reviews. If at some point I do get his permission I’ll post it here.
I also recommend looking for a mock court trial produced by I believe A&E called The Trial Of Lee Harvey Oswald. It’s also pretty enlightening, but like Rowdy says in his review, some people will never give up this idea of a conspiracy, no matter how the facts are actually not on their side.
Forget Superman, THIS is Diana’s true match!
