This in-progress documentary, called “On Your Mark, Get Set, Mow!” isn’t just about racing grass-cutting things – it raises awareness for Huntington’s Disease. These racers are a cut above when it comes to class.source
In case you haven’t heard, Michael Moore is working on an as-yet-untitled movie about the economy. We’re sure good portions of our audience are gonna loooove that. Read the comments on the YouTube page to get an idea.source
They gave us a standing ovation after the screening, which I’ve never seen before. I think everyone was drunk.
Todd Phillips • On the film’s Dublin premiere. Philips, who has the hits “Road Trip” and “Old School” to his name, is responsible for the third-largest opening for an R-rated comedy ever, which is even more impressive if you keep in mind three things: One, that the top two openings were major franchises (“Sex in the City” and “American Pie 2”); two, that the movie had no marquee stars (we’re so happy Zach Galifianakis has been unleashed on the world); and three, that Phillips started his career as a documentarian for shock-rocker GG Allin. • source

It’s me and Kirsten Wiig and cast to be determined.” YES! source
Brandon Hardesty translated the modest success of this video into a lucrative film career in just over two years. He now stars in “American Pie” sequels and Adam Sandler movies. We kid you not.source
The fun of this is that the destiny of these characters is in their hands — it’s not constrained by the pre-existing films or TV series. Believe me, whether it’s William Shatner or Khan … it would be ridiculous to not be open to those ideas.
“Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams • On the nice part of having a major hit film based on a legacy franchise – specifically one based on an alternate reality – on your hands: Thinking about the possibilities of what you can do with it next. If they get Shatner on board, fanbois are gonna be like whoa. • source
