Research into the Brain and Film Advertising Begins

Researchers from Notre Dame conducted an experiment and discovered that doorways might play into how our brain stores memories. They separated people into two groups, traveling the same distance. One group passed through a doorway, the other didn't. The ones that had to walk past a doorway were three times more likely to forget their task.

The researchers think this is because doorways are "event boundaries."

Decisions made in one room are remembered and stored "in that room" and it's more likely to forget them once you're not in it.

Now researchers are looking into how this affects movie advertising. Sometimes movies get scheduled for release, but they must be reminded by HTG administration that certain things must be done for that release to occur. Also, some movies go through their buzz vote week without a single advertisement.

"It's crazy" commented a local film fan. "Why spend millions and all of that time on a movie and not advertise it at all? Heck, some of these films give no indication whatsoever what they about. It's like the movie was posted on the calendar, then the studio left the room. Crazy."

Hubba Hubba and All That

Best known in HTG Hollywood for her role in the television series Sparks, Carla Gugino has found her first film role in 3 1/2 years. Appearing in I Am Harmer, Gugino is slated as "Mystery Woman."

"We never get around to her real name" explained Marlowe during a recent interview. "Her position in the film is more important. Why is she in the abandoned city? Does she wish our hero, Chris Harmer, any ill? Besides, she looks mighty sharp in a knit top."

Also featured in the movie are Seth Rogen and Minka Kelly.

"The cast is small" Marlowe added. "There wasn't much need for more actors."

The Miracle Pictures release is directed by Steven Spielberg, himself working after a dry spell.

I Am Harmer opens on Friday the 27th.

It Has to Be Better Than Pat the Movie, Right?

Having been in HTG Hollywood for many years, Miracle Pictures is home to numerous franchises with great potential. One of those properties is Saturday Night Live. Purchased for 250 million dollars, MP head Marlowe has yet to provide an SNL film or TV show.

"He's got all sorts of ideas," a Miracle Pictures insider stated. "But he has had trouble getting them fully to paper. He's threatened to win the lottery and hire someone to dictate his ideas to, but that elusive gambling win has yet to land."

Lucian of Ship of Fooles has an idea, if rumors are to be believed.

"I've always wanted to do Hanukkah Harry Conquers the Martians" the long-time resident remarked in HTG Chat.

The character is centered on Jon Lovitz, who plays a Hebrew version of Santa, performing great deeds.

"We're always open to new ideas" the MP rep remarked. "If Lucian got something down on paper, sure, Marlowe would look at it."

Lucian's new film, wrestling event TCW XV, is now in theatres.

Western to Hopefully Arrive This Century

It's a Harmeriffic week for the news affecting HTG Hollywood. According to a reliable source, The Good, The Bad and The Harmer 3 has been greenlit.

Following the first two films from 2006 and 2008, the Western themed movies starred Chris Harmer as a hero who righted wrongs, saved the day and got the girl.

This time, however, the script will not come from originator Teufel of Decipticon Liberation Front. Chris Harmer himself has taken the reigns of the production.

"I can hardly wait" stated one movie lover when this was announced. "Harmer starring AND writing? It's like cherries AND whipped cream on your cheesecake. Double goodness!"

A due date for the film has not been given.

Harmer Returns in Epic Feature

Weeks ago, an epic production starring Jade Falcon Productions head Chris Harmer was announced. Little has been said about the film to date, other than it would be "epic" and "of the high standards normally associated with a Miracle Pictures/Chris Harmer collaboration."

The release date has finally been announced. I Am Harmer will open on December 27, in time to "take advantage of some sweet holiday BO traffic" according to producer Marlowe.

I Am Harmer centers on a near-future which has collapsed due to a scientific catastrophe. Harmer is a scientist, greatly responsible for the downfall, who struggles to not only survive living in a city full of "mutant freaks," but to come up with a solution for the problem.

Rounding out the cast are Seth Rogen, Carla Gugino and Minka Kelly. The film was fortunate to have director Steven Spielberg come aboard.

"It's grand in scheme" Marlowe stated in a recent interview. "I can't go into too many details. Don't want to ruin the story. But it's as good as any Harmer feature to date, if not better!"

I Am Harmer will enter buzz on Friday the 20th.

Actress Demands Untrue, According to Studio

While it's true that Marion Cotillard has a role in the feature Dog Eat Dog, reports that she had outlandish demands on set are false.

Rumors circulated that the producer and studio behind the film were shocked when her team handed them a five-page list of demands, including endless supplies of grilled cheese and pickle sandwiches and 2-liter bottles of Canada Dry ginger ale.

After some investigation, the tale doesn't hold true.

"She was a delight to work with" stated Toran of I'm An Astronaut Films. "Why these false rumors pop up are beyond me."

Directed by Shane Black, Dog Eat Dog also stars Aaron Eckhart, Michael Keaton and Bryan Cranston. It is set for release on December 27.

Just in case, bring some grilled cheese and pickle sandwiches to the show.

Producer Suspects Friend of Planting Device in Auto

Megaproducer of Baseball Mogul Productions has told authorities in HTG Hollywood that he believes his long-time friend Amy the Dog is responsible for putting a GPS tracker in his car.

According to the police report provided by Chief Winslow, the tracking device was discovered in an old Milk Bone box inside the rear passenger side of Pedro's famed Cha-mobile when the vehicle was receiving routine maintenance. The device was registered to HTG Hollywood private investigator Veronica Mars, whom Amy had allegedly hired.

The report states that the canine actress had instructed the P.I. to buy the tracker into the car. It appears that Amy has been displeased with the lack of roles provided to her lately.

When asked for comment, Pedro remarked "Babo says he no loco la chica del ricos."

According to Chief Winslow, no charges have been filed at this point.
