MORANADU: THE ANTISOCIAL NETWORK
http://moranadu.blogspot.com/2010/10/antisocial-network.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. The photo above was taken on a night on the town back in early 2009 in Perth, Western Australia. I’m the douchebag in the stupid “Drunk Chicks Think I’m Hot” t-shirt (truth be told, that shirt was a great icebreaker at the pubs). The young lady in the photo? I know what you’re gonna say – Mike, why don’t you just adjust your privacy settings? No, I don’t care how many calories you burned in your aerobics class! No, I don’t care about your hangover! And no one else cares either!

MORANADU: SUMMER OF '79
http://moranadu.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-of-79.html
Monday, July 04, 2011. Where were the “Super 8”. Kids when I was growing up? My envy extends to the era in which Abrams got to be a kid. Thanks to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, the late 1970s were a wonderful time to be a young movie lover. “Super 8” is set in the summer of 1979. Thrilled by “Star Wars,”. And awed by “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”. Not that I was deprived of pubescent cinematic joy, mind you. In the summer of 1989. James Cameron’s “The Abyss,”. Monday, July 04, 2011. FUN LINK...

Sunday, February 27, 2011. LIVE BLOGGING: A VERY FRANCO OSCARS. Here goes, my first attempt at live blogging. I'm not gonna bother with the red carpet crap. just the Oscarcast itself. If nothing else, we'll have the glorious goofiness of Franco as our co-host for the evening. See you at 8e/5p. 8:38 pm - You can't lose with Franco in a bear suit. 8:40 - Morgan Freeman really needs to start having more fun with his soothing voice over persona. 8:49 - Art Directors shouldn't speak. Go Nolan and Sorkin!

MORANADU: November 2009
http://moranadu.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. THE SECRET OF GREAT ACTING. I have a Love/Hate relationship with Inside The Actors Studio. On one hand, James Lipton coaxes some great interviews out of his guests. On the other hand, many of those guests get mind-blowingly pretentious about "The Method" and "Their Craft." Sure, there are some great actors out there and just as many ways to conjure up a good performance. But at the end of the day it's all just. well, I'll let Sir Ian McKellen explain it. We've all got the od...

MORANADU: HUGH JACKMAN'S GOT BALLS
http://moranadu.blogspot.com/2013/01/hugh-jackmans-got-balls.html
Saturday, January 26, 2013. HUGH JACKMAN'S GOT BALLS. Hugh Jackman’s got balls. By my count, he has three distinct pairs of them. First, there are his natural balls. They exist. I’ve seen them, sort of. Once upon a time, I was a production assistant on “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. Remember that movie you downloaded illegally before its theatrical release, asshole? That's me on set in New Zealand. Never got a pic with HJ, damn it. The movie works. That is in no small part due to HJ as Jean Valjean. The Oni...

The story works fine on its own, allowing filmmakers to highlight the concerns, styles and trends of their own particular eras. In 2010, we are about to get Ridley Scott’s version. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Directed by Michael Curtiz and William Keighley. Ever seen a Bollywood movie? Olivia de Havill...

MORANADU: September 2012
http://moranadu.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 16, 2012. I HEART GOTHAM CITY. Maybe even more than the hero himself, I love Batman’s hometown. When my parents took me into Boston as a kid, we’d often find ourselves walking underneath the now-demolished Central Artery. Boston's Central Artery - 1950s. It looked like hell, but an intriguing and vaguely familiar hell I wanted to don a trench coat and walk around in for a while. Anton Furst's Concept Art for Gotham City. By the way, Batman doesn't like Hyundais. On Earth, and Beyond!
