So a few weeks ago, Rainn Wilson posted a new “First Rule of Fight Club” on Twitter. I thought this was funny, so I retweeted it, and started obsessively writing additional rules. From there, other folks added their own rules, including Pete Alton, @Brandon007, @EdouardBond, and @tollishtwit. Although this has been reposted in other [...]

For those of you who missed my Twitter commentary on the Oscars yesterday, here it is:
Why is Alec Baldwin standing like a Neanderthal?
There was a 4th John Hughes kid, but Matthew Broderick killed him while drunk driving.
Fuck this Logorama bastard piece of shit for screwing up my Oscar pool.
Mrs. Garrett [...]

Since, I don’t have anything else to post today, I thought I’d put up the greatest hits of one of my favorite musicians, Mark Gormley. First, is what I consider the greatest of all his tunes, “Gray Days.”
However, it’s the next two numbers, “Little Wings” and “Without You” that are by far his most [...]

Nick Holmes sent me this, because it’s a woman being freaked out by my movie, Dawn of the Dead.
I then see it’s the YouTube site of a guy who has posted many videos of his wife crying at the end of or during films. Like, really crying.
Marley and Me
Her husband: “But would you rather the [...]

I mentioned on Twitter a while back that this was the worst year of movies in a long, long time. Today, I disagree with that statement. I don’t think there were many, if any, GREAT movies this year. To my mind, there were no all-time classics like Eternal Sunshines or Kung Fu Hustles or [...]

I know, I know – March is pretty late for a “Favorites of 2009″ list. But I happened to be busy at the end of the year making a movie. So, here it is, the first of few favorites list. Because I was so busy last year I didn’t have as much time to scour [...]

I was going to make a bunch of jokes about the artistry of this band, and their incredible charisma and skill, and the amazing filmmaking (which includes random shots of an oil well), but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it. This is one of the funniest fucking things I’ve ever [...]

I’m glad Mia’s out of town, because after watching this video my penis is going to be flaccid for seventeen days.
Once again, thanks to Patrick Cassidy for this crap.
Also, thanks to all of you who voted for me, PG Porn, and Nathan Fillion for the Streamy Awards. Both Nathan and I were nominated today, and [...]

This dude is a Fuck You to Everything That Sucks made Human Flesh. You might want to keep up with him, but it’s never going to happen. He shits awesomeocity and vomits delight. Also: if you watch this video the whole way through you stand a good chance of becoming pregnant with the messiah. P.S. [...]

Quick. Stop doing whatever stupid shit you’re doing and pay attention to this:
Here it is again:
Actually, to be honest, I’m a little pissed off about this. I had the idea a long time ago to put a monkey on a goat on a cup on a tightrope. I think this fucking guy read my emails [...]

Well, I’m a little behind on my annual “Favorite” lists for the year – I decided to make a movie instead – but they will be forthcoming soon enough (as well as my favorites of the decade!) Thought I’d begin with just the tip of my toe in the pool of excellence that was 2009. [...]

So, Raja Gosnell, the director of the Scooby-Doo movies, is directing a big-budget, live action/CGI mix Smurf movie. I don't think there's anyone on the internet who isn't excited about this project. And we here at JamesGunn.com, due to the ingenuity of our intrepid reporter Kurly Tlapoyawa, have gained the VERY FIRST behind-the-scenes footage of [...]

Okay, admittedly, often times this site is simply about the freakishly spectacular. But, every once in a while, it's worth posting something of true cultural merit. Here, thanks to Kurly Tlapoyawa, is the My Little Pony Stage Musical.
PS. What the fuck?

There is one day left to nominate JAMES GUNN'S PG PORN for a Streamy Award! If we are nominated for a Streamy Award, I promise to make additional episodes of the show! If not, well, PG PORN will probably not continue!
Why? Because I woke up bored this morning wanting to think about something other [...]

Once again, SUPER, the movie I'm now shooting, is the story of Frank, a disturbed dude who puts on a superhero costume and starts fighting crime as the Crimson Bolt with nothing more than a pipe wrench. Frank is played by Rainn Wilson. Liv Tyler plays his drug addicted wife, Sarah, who leaves him for [...]

It was my fault. I made a bet with Mia that she couldn't fit into ONE of Steve Agee's pant legs. We tweeted at Steve, letting him know we needed to borrow a pair of his pants the next time we got together, and he was happy to oblige.
Mia, with Steve, proved that I was [...]

These photos are all the way back from Thanksgiving, but, because of the movie, I haven't gotten a chance to post them until now. Because Mia had already "done" Shreveport in a previous trip, we decided to travel to the great city of Dallas for Thanksgiving.
First things first – Arriving at our hotel room in [...]

As you've probably heard by now, Kevin Bacon has joined the cast of SUPER as Jacques, the Crimson Bolt's sorta evil nemesis. Kevin Bacon has been one of my favorite actors since I was young, and he starred in at least two of the defining films of my life – DINER, which was my favorite [...]

Our cinematographer, Steve Gainer, with Red camera and Easy-rig, prepared for SUPER.
Holy shit! Only three days in and we've already completed well over a hundred set-ups. Due to SUPER'S low-budget nature, we have to shoot fast as hell, but our crew has been up to the task. Special shout outs go to our director of [...]
