This point / counterpoint piece overlooks the likelihood of viewers having completely forgotten about everything but Jake Gyllenhaal’s glorious creepy days, the soundtrack and Drew Barrymore playing a teacher, but 10 years on, my decade-addled brain seems to remember it all coming together. You? [ Nerve ]

This weekend on Twitter, most of our tweeting luminaries avoided addressing the obvious ( Paranormal Activity 3 ) and instead talked about Martha Marcy May Marlene , The Three Musketeers , and — my word — Johnny English Reborn . To the tweet machine!

“There was a selflessness about it. He was there for the right reasons. He believed in the candidate, he believed in the cause. He was approachable, he didn’t put on any airs. And he loved to work hard…. We’d take him to five, six college campuses a day, and he’d never complain…. You could have asked him to do anything — go lick some stamps, he would’ve done that.” Spurred into public service during the Writer’s Strike, Kal Penn (who’s back on screens next week in A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas ) took a mid-level outreach gig in the Obama administration that, at one point, caused his agent to freak out: “What are you doing? The guy is down 30 points in the polls. It’s not cute anymore!” [ L.A. Times ]

This week brings film buffs and comedy devotees alike the pleasure of Marty Feldman: The Biography of a Comedy Legend , author Robert Ross’s revelatory new chronicle of the turbulent life and premature death of the titular British TV and film comic. An aspiring jazz musician-turned-comedian known predominantly for the pop-eyed visage he brought to his acting, writing and directing projects, Feldman’s broad influence on British comedy of the ’60s receives a close look from interview subjects including Michael Palin, Terry Jones and, from tapes recorded for his unfinished memoir, even Feldman himself. But his impact hardly ended there — as anyone who’s seen Young Frankenstein knows.

It’s every young filmmaker’s dream scenario: Break through and sell your film at Sundance before making the rounds at not one, not two, not three, but four major international festivals. Then bring it home and watch it open strong in limited release ahead of a likely awards campaign that will find you back in the spotlight while developing your eagerly anticipated follow-up. Think it’s too good to be true? Meet Sean Durkin.

While promoting Tower Heist during a recent television interview, Eddie Murphy took a moment to forecast that he will be the most awful Academy Awards host of all time. (Has he seen last year’s ceremony co-hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco?) Click through to watch Murphy repeatedly cut off his Tower Heist co-star Ben Stiller to predict just how bad his Oscars show will be. Spoiler alert: It ends with a powder blue suit and a golden statuette shower.

Over the course of her career, Scarlett Johansson has played a sexy Dutch muse, a sexy clone, a sexy journalism student, a sexy Boleyn sister and a sexy, spandex-clad Roman spy. (She is so sexy that David Fincher did not cast her in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for fear that audiences wouldn’t be able “to wait for her to take her clothes off.”) So it’s not surprising that in Jonathan Glazer’s upcoming film Under The Skin , the bombshell doesn’t just play an alien — she plays an alien who uses a voluptuous human body to ensnare male prey. Take a look at the first photo of Johansson in character to see how she stacks up against cinema’s other most titillating extraterrestrials.

This is a special Monday, dears, because the illustrious Kevin Kline turns 64 today. The man who lit up The Big Chill before going on to garner an Academy Award for A Fish Called Wanda is that rare leading man who seems perfectly at home in bizarre character roles. I’m trembling just thinking of my favorite Kevin Kline scene. Can you guess it? Will I be plundering The Ice Storm ? In & Out ? Dave ? Or the gritty saloon drama Wild, Wild West ?
