| Men in Black 2 | ||||||||
|
The French site CineMovies has published lots of
aliens pictures from Men in Black 2, which opens this week in the US.
Supposedly, one of them is an uncredited (and disguised) Michael Jackson.
After more than 80 movies (and TV scores), this is only Elfman's 3rd score for a sequel (after
Big Top Pee-Wee (1988) and
P.S.: Happy birthday to the excellent (and underrated) Vincent D'Onofrio, which you may remember as the bug from the first Men in Black.

| DK's Favorite Directors | ||||||||
The Others section has been updated and now contains pages for 8 of my favorite
directors of all times... other than Cronenberg, that is 
They are listed in order of "completeness" and not in order of importance. The "complete" ones contain eDonkey links of verified rips in good/excellent quality. Enjoy. |

| 2 Burton Shorts Released | ||||||||
|
A huge thanks to sQuare for releasing the 2 early Tim Burton shorts,
Vincent (1982, 0:06) and
Frankenweenie (1984, 0:29).
What are you waiting for? Go grab them now and recall why Burton is one of the most imaginative and "gothic" directors out there. I think it's high time this director - which has been one of my favorites for many years - got a place of honor in The Plasma Pool, so I added him to the Others section. Currently, only the two movies mentioned above are linked, but most of the others exist on the Donkey too (if you have the links to some of them, please send, but only rips that you verified yourself and that are in perfect quality, please. 1CD rips preferred). |

| Jason X Rip Released | ||||||||
|
The new Jason X
rip has been released. I can't say much about the quality of the rip (suppose to be DVD) or the movie itself, since I
haven't seen it yet.
You already know that this movie, which opened in the US less than 2 months ago, contains Cronenberg's latest cameo and another cameo by Robert "Bob" A. Silverman. This movie was directed by James (Jim) "Smash" Isaac. Still don't recognize these names? Look at the Regular Crew/Cast section. More info about this movie on April 7 of the news archive and on IMDB. |

| Thank you (a personal message for all the stupid people out there) | ||||||||
|
I always kept everything on the site in a professional and adult manner. Today I'll make an exception (for the sake of the
people this message is intended to).
I want to thank the dickless kid, who decided to start ruining the polls by voting 18 times on each of them.
So here are a few more suggestions with extra credits, for all the 7-year-olds out there: Try deleting files, putting your name on the main page with a big "I'm No. 1", ruin the board, the guestbook and the polls, and vote more than once. Dazzle us all with your childish acts! Maybe you'll convice me to actually call this site off altogether. Don't hate the idiots - they need love too. And now back to our regular programming... | ||||||||
Yes, the idiots are always lurking out there, and now they invaded The Plasma Pool too. Well, here's a news flash
for you: This is a FAN site, not a commercial site - you don't have to be a real genius to fuck it around. Actually you
have to be a real stupid one to do it: I DON'T keep any security on the files or board (duh, they are all kept on free
webhosts), and yes, I knew a long time ago that the poll can be voted more than once. But I was hoping for visitors with an
average-and-above IQ in this site.

| Darren Aronofsky's Next Project | ||||||||
|
The next project for writer/director Darren Aronofsky
(Pi, Requiem for a Dream) is The Last Man, and NOT Batman: Year
One. Shooting is expected to start in September in Queensland, Australia. The "post-Matrix, metaphysical Sci-Fi
movie" stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. It may also have supporting roles by Sean Gullette and
Ellen Burstyn.
Aronofsky also produced and co-wrote Below, which comes out this month in a very limited release (Argentina, Russia, Australia). This low-budget movie, about a haunted submarine, began its way back in 1998. It was originally titled Proteus and was suppose to be directed by Aronofsky, after Pi. |

| New Pics from Shivers | ||||||||
|
Added 4 new pics from Shivers: 3 are from Cronenberg's cameo in the
movie, and one is from the same scene that you can see Cronenberg directing in the Behind the Scenes.
Did you notice that, in his movies, Cronenberg is making a cameo once every 10 years? |

| The Cat in the Hat | ||||||||
|
The Cat in the Hat, starring Mike Myers is
expected to start shooting this fall and is budgeted at $90 millions.
This is the first feature film of Bo Welch, who is better known as a production designer and art director. You may recognize his fantastic work from the Tim Burton movies Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns, and other movies such as The Lost Boys, Wolf, The Birdcage, Little Princess and both Men in Black movies. A Burton connection seems natural, since it's definitely a "Burtonisque" movie and Tim has clearly been influenced by The Cat in the Hat (see The Nightmare before Christmas for example). The movie is currently planned to be released on December 2003. |

| Indiana Jones 4 | ||||||||
Frank Darabont is now signed to write the script. He wrote the screenplays to The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Majestic, several spisodes of the TV series Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and helped Spielberg (without credit) on Minority Report. Steven Spielberg will probably direct. And yes, Harrison Ford will be 63 (minus 9 days) when the movie comes out... The 3 Indiana Jones movies have produced more than $1.2 billion in worldwide theatrical grosses. | ||||||||
| No prize for Spider at Cannes | ||||||||

It's kind of old news now: Spider got no prize at Cannes.
Maybe the next one, maybe the next one... |
