 Two days ago Deadline posted on the war of words between Jim Cameron and Piranha 3D producer Mark Canton. After accusing Piranha 3D of cheapening the medium, Cameron went further to say:
When movies got to the bottom of the barrel of their creativity and at the last gasp of their financial lifespan, they did a 3-D version to get the last few drops of blood out of the turnip. And that’s now what’s happening now with 3D. It is a renaissance. Right now the biggest and best films are being made in 3D. Martin Scorsese is making a film in 3D [Hugo Cabret]. Disney’s biggest film of the year – Tron: Legacy — is coming out in 3D.
Doesn’t this sound like kind of a classic feud of high culture kicking and fighting being appropriated by the lowly masses?! (more…)

 Vision Entertainment Group announced today that Rogue River will be coming to DVD on Halloween. The movie stars usual horror suspects Bill Moseley and Michael Rooker, and less usual suspect Art Alexakis from Everclear. Stranger yet, Zachary Ty Bryan (you know – Brad from Home Improvement) is one of the producers on it. Isn’t it strange who ends up working in horror? Check out the plot synopsis after the jump.

 This week Lee Roy Myers shoots the porno parody to The Human Centipede, lovingly entitled The Human Sexipede. Oh, you’ve never heard of Lee Roy Myers, the auteur who’s previous porno creds include XXX renditions of Seinfeld, Cheers, The Golden Girls and other disturbing television favorites? God. Go back under your rock already, neuter.
Seriously though, probably no one can describe … whatever it is that’s going to be done here … better than Myers himself, who says, via Xbiz:
“It’s interesting because people wouldn’t expect this parody to be done. People will be sickened by the actual concept,” Myers admitted. “But like ‘The Golden Girls’ I think people will get past that and actually buy it.”
Myers continued, “In this version three tourists in Germany are captured by a mad sex educator and he wants to sew them all together, mouth to genitals, and I am doing a slapstick version. It is a true parody and I think it’s one of the best things that I’ve written, at least one of the funniest things that I’ve written.”

 This spankin’ new issue is lovingly referred to as our Danzig Issue. For our cover story, we’ve scrapped our interview/review format for a look at what’s made Danzig such a controversial, but enduring, figure in both metal and culture. (Including our top three favorite, unexpected Danzig references in pop culture.) We’ve also got the article SCARS Ray was afraid to run – “Zombies are for douchebags” – arguing that zombies, not vampires, just may be the douchiest subgenre we currently have. Plus a huge retrospective on the career of wrestler/grindhouse filmmaker Fred Olen Ray, with exclusive pics and interviews. Reviews, upcoming attractions, and the ladies of STUCK! (including the iconic Mink Stole, Karen Black, and Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go’s) round this issue out.
So after you read the free issue, show some love and snag yourself a print copy!

 On Monday, the owner of the world’s face transplant showed his new mug on TV and to the public for the first time. The 31 year-old Spanish dude – known only as Oscar – needed his new face after he accidentally shot himself. NPR describes the 24 hour procedure he went under as going something like this: “doctors lifted an entire face, including jaw, nose, cheekbones, muscles, teeth and eyelids, and placed it masklike onto the man.” In his TV interview, Oscar made sure to thank his face donor’s family.

 Here, in one semi-coherent post, are my three favorite news items of the week. Get caught up.
1) I would love to see a well done, bloody movie about vikings. It probably comes as no surprise that Mel Gibson’s planned movie about vikings – in fucking Norse language, by the way – has hit a couple snafus. Most recently, that Leonardo DiCaprio has severed all potential ties with the project, in the wake of all of Gibson’s … negative press and insanity. A drag because the script comes from William Monahan (The Departed) and because, I mean, okay, whatever, Mel Gibson, BUT, Apocalypto ruled. A source from the DiCaprio camp said, “Leo has earned the right to pick and choose who he works with and Mel Gibson is not one of them.” Is it taboo to say I still wish this could have happened?
