By Veronica Sepe at 5:12 PM on July 15, 2008

And if you have any children under the age of seven, prepare to have that Apple-beloved little ditty rattling around once again for weeks to come. ...  read more

The Cleveland Show adds female voices

By Veronica Sepe at 8:37 AM on July 15, 2008

If we were in Quahog, this would probably be a news flash, broken by Tom Tucker or Diane Simmons, but seeing as this is about the upcoming Family Guy spin-off, that might be just a little too meta, even for Seth McFarland. ...  read more

This Week on PasteMagazine.com: 7/7-7/11/08

By Austin L. Ray at 5:58 PM on July 11, 2008

Welcome to PasteMagazine.com's new weekly round-up feature. I'm your host, Austin, and I edit and assign the content around these parts. Each week I plan to offer up an overview of the stories, blogs, photos, reviews and etceteras we've presented on the site over the last five days. Should be a good time, if I manage to stay on top of it. As of right now, this is just a baby idea that I imagine will evolve from week to week, but one thing is for certain: Expect a ton of links. Call it service journalism of sorts (service round-upism?)...  read more

Screen Actors Guild rejects contract offer

By Sean Gandert at 4:09 PM on July 11, 2008

The Screen Actors Guild has been in negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, those same folks who dealt with the Writers Guild at the end of last year and beginning of this one, since April 15. This finally came to a head on Thursday when, after a five-hour meeting, the studios asked that its final offer be put to a vote by the guild. Instead, the Guild refused to relay the offer outright, putting negotiations in an odd standstill and allowing both sides to blame each other, with the AMPTP saying its offer was rejected and...  read more

RZA and Eli Roth creating a martial arts film

By Sean Gandert at 11:14 AM on July 10, 2008

We all knew RZA had a thing for Kung Fu films, but aside from the unexplained behind-the-scenes YouTube coverage, no one really expected to see him make one. Which isn't to say we didn't wonder what the Wu-Tang mastermind could do, though. Lucky for everyone, it looks like we may just get a chance after all....  read more

Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards shooting in October

By Sean Gandert at 4:38 PM on July 9, 2008

It's been almost five yars since Quentin Tarantino first mentioned his war film Inglorious Bastards. At the time, it had a 600-page screenplay and was thought of as a possible trilogy.  But Tarantino makes films at his own pace, with only six under his belt since his debut with Resevoir Dogs. Apparently something fired him up at Cannes this year, though, and he announced that Bastards would premier there next year, a claim greeted with large amounts of skepticism....  read more
