Photo via Ben Lawson's Flickr. Hitting the big screen in June, The Incredible Hulk is primed to be one of this summer's big blockbusters. But don't expect the big green guy to be wreaking havoc on the real New York, as Torontoist points out, the film was shot in Canada. Even this chalk artist, who would have totally been arrested for pulling this in New York, has The Hulk carrying a Canadian flag. Pictured......

The new J.J. Abrams movie which is still listed as Untitled, but is unofficially being referred to as Cloverfield, was filming on the Lower East Side yesterday and last night. Did anyone catch it? The monster movie is due out January 18th, 2008 - and this past week Abrams spoke of the somewhat mysterious project at Comic-Con. "I just want to say I want a monster movie. I want a great monster movie. I've......

Gothamist was a bit underwhelmed by this year's Golden Globe nominees, and we were thinking of not liveblogging. But, gosh darn it as we watched the E! preshow and saw the starlets sparkle their way down the red carpet, we realize it was hopeless, so here we are. Let it be known that: - Keira Knightley looks gorgeous in her white Valentino - and there's something surprisingly youthful about the dress, even though there's that......

Gothamist needed a little humor and the Incredible Hulk's Diary filled the bill and more. The Hulk is eloquent on war, Lego vs. Duplo, cats, and his movie... god, our head hurts thinking about how genius it would have been to start Gothamist using the Hulk style vernacular. We'd have posts up here left and right. Gothamist's Hulk coverage: - The naked doll - The movie itself - Possible cut scenes......

For the Stupid Annals: Someone who worked at the ad agency that handles Universal Studios' advertising gave an early, pre-release copy of The Hulk to a friend. Who gave it to another friend. Who put it on the Internet. Kerry Gonzalez, the 25-year old NJ man who posted the film on the Internet, pled guilty, giving Universal this victory in piracy matters. This is what led to lots of fans complaining about the quality of......

Ang Lee's Hulk is something of a magnificent disaster, visually mesmerizing, intellectually ambitious, but ultimately unsatisfying. It was too much all around - too layered, too long, too unsure if it was a cartoon or a comedy of manners. And it left Gothamist pondering some unanswered questions: 1. How does Hulk get bigger? Let's face it, Bruce Banner is only 150 pounds - where does all the extra weight come from? Gothamist thinks the......

With all the excitement about The Hulk opening tomorrow, Movie City News brought up this old FlakMag interview with Hulk producer, co-writer, and frequent Ang Lee collaborator, James Schamus. The December 2000 interview was about the screenwriting process for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but at the very end, Schamus mentions he and Lee were talking to Stephen Merritt about turning 69 Love Songs into a musical. How hot would that be? And does anyone know......

Honestly, Gothamist wasn't thinking of the Hulk in this way, but because the Chicago Sun-Times brought it up, now we can't help but think. And think. And think. Apparently there was some talk about creating a nude Hulk, but as special effects artist Dennis Muren says, "I guess there were some concerns over ratings, so we decided to put tattered clothes on him...there were some interesting conversations about how the Hulk would look nude.......

The Post turns the summer movie season into a battle of the sexes, or at least a dilemma for couples, with counterprogramming of Terminator 3 and Legally Blonde 2 one weekend, The Hulk vs Alex and Emma another. A little of the article, which makes Gothamist a bit batty: "If it's the first or second date, go with the chick flick," urges John Fate, co-author of "Make Every Girl Want You." "You want to......

It's easy to do a feature about this summer's eagerly anticipated movies (the summer actually began last weekend, with the opening of X2), but Patricia Vidal at Movie City News tackles how the summer movies may be appealing to women: No look at summer movie size can overlook The Hulk. That’s a Playgirl special edition waiting to happen. Hulk goes right into the Dolly Parton class of sexual celebrity. You almost don’t want to see......

A.O. Scott gives a glowing review to the movie, Holes. Or Holes, The Movie. He even called it the best movie this year. Honestly, I am SHOCKED. Mainly because the trailer for it was so crappy, I was annoyed I had to sit through it. Scott wrote a piece about movie trailer watching a month ago, speaking to the joy of the movie experience that expands from what's on the screen to your experience in......
