See “The Punisher”

Artisan Entertainment has sent around a promotional image of Thomas Jane as The Punisher in a Marvel comic adaptation due out next year. You can see it at Ain’t It Cool News and other places. As lackluster as it is, it’s still sadly better than what I saw on screen in the original film adaptation. I suspect that this will be the first film to really burst the comic book adaptation bubble.

MTV Movie Awards Nominations

America’s least respected awards show? Ehh, it’s a judgment call. Anyway, they do have good taste in movies. “Spider-Man” and “The Two Towers” lead the pack with five nominations each. This is the awards show that features such prestigious categories as “Best Villain” (for which Spidey’s Willem Dafoe is rightfully nominated) and “Best Kiss” (which is just what it sounds like…)


The complete list of nominees, and your opportunity to stuff the ballot, is on mtv.com. Hey, at least in “Best Fight,” they’re giving Yoda his props.
