Negromancer News Bits and Bites for July 29 2012: The Dark Knight! Red Nails! and More!

Here's some stuff I like and some you might like:

The Dark Knight Rises News: Thompson on Hollywood alerted me to this story in the Pittsburgh Business Times.  Batman and crew are in the Steel City to film Chris Nolan's third Batman flick.

When you’re making a large-scale action film that has to showcase the vitality and size of a large American city,” director Christopher Nolan told The Pittsburgh Business Times, “it also involves a certain amount of disruption to that city in order to make the action credible on screen.”

I'll try to keep you up to date on Batman... if y'all want me to...

DreamWorks Animation CEO and Disney exile Jeffrey Katzenberg says movies suck now in this CNN Money interview:

"Today the thing that is probably most askew in Hollywood is the issue of marketability versus playability, and what that really means is that there is this sort of unholy alliance that has existed forever between art and commerce, show and biz. Today, it's out of balance, and it's too much on the biz, too much on the commerce, too much on the marketability. … The last seven or eight months of movies is the worst lineup of movies you've experienced in the last five years of your life. They suck. It's unbelievable how bad movies have been."
