I am beyond stoked for Rian Johnson's upcoming whodunnit, Knives Out. It's got a killer cast, a hip energy, and what promises to be a potential series of films featuring Daniel Craig's Detective Benoit Blanc, a quirky hero in the vein of Agatha Christy's Poirot. The film hits in November, and we've scored a new trailer that's a ton of fun to watch. If the finished film is equally so, this could be a winner for people tired of remakes, reboots and super-hero movies. Check this out: The buzz around this one is unusually huge, with advance word calling it an old-fashioned murder mystery with lots of stars and hilarious comedy. The word brilliant has been passed around too. Johnson IS a brilliant filmmaker. I love Brick, The Brothers Bloom and Looper a lot. And yes, I'm one of the few true Star Wars fans who enjoys The Last Jedi. Then again, I'm not a bitch... Knives Out also stars Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Do...

Star Wars fans are the latest group of "fandoms" that have become toxic to their chosen franchise, and geekdom in general.  Their outrage at the prequels, a Jamaican sounding alien, a black stormtrooper, the revelation about Rey's parents, the introduction of Rose, the portrayal of an older Luke Skywalker, etc. They make me shake my head.

Yup, it's been a long-ass time since anything's been posted on this blog. Yup, the blurb beneath our page title says we're done . . . again. Yup, it's me, Jason of the Jason and Shawn duo The Basement Boys, writing at We Came from the Basement. So what's brought us to this never-say-never-again place in the storied history (like eight fucking years) of this site and podcast? Are we back with a daily dose of movie news, interviews and reviews? Is the show on The X and this site on a weekly or bi-weekly basis? Is Mike S going to tweet along to stuff on our dead and deleted Twitter account? Nope.
