Watch Charlize Theron Become Enraged in Young Adult Red Band Spot

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Charlize Theron said recently that she took a four-year break from acting to work with her production company, so it’s interesting to consider what about Young Adult (besides the Oscar-friendly duo of Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody) would drag her back into the craft. Here’s an idea: She gets to be profane, uncompromising, and really, really pissed off. In this red-band spot for the new film (out December 9), Theron loses her shit with Elizabeth Reaser, who plays her ex-beau’s (Patrick Wilson) new wife. Yikes.

Why Roger Ebert Sits in the Back Row

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“‘I’ve noticed that the publicists have started to sit behind me,” [Gene Siskel] explained. ‘I think they’re supposed to spy on my reactions and report back to the studios.’ I doubted this was true, but now I became aware of Siskel sitting behind me, possibly to spy on my reactions. So I moved to the back row to outwit the son of a bitch. I picked the end of the row nearest the door, so I could sneak out to the men’s room without calling undue attention to myself. Most people have bladders the size of oil drums, but I usually have to pee at least once during a movie. A few of my colleagues share this need, and I am sympathetic while watching them bend over and make a Groucho Marx run in front of the screen in the futile hope that no one will notice them.” You relate, right?

Eddie Redmayne on My Week With Marilyn and the Quest For the Right Role

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

He’s won a Tony Award (for Red ) and held his own onscreen opposite everyone from Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon ( The Good Shepherd ) to Julianne Moore ( Savage Grace ) to Cate Blanchett ( Elizabeth: The Golden Age ). But there’s something about Eddie Redmayne’s role in My Week With Marilyn — as Colin Clark, a glorified film-set gofer mediating the relationship between Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) and her Prince and the Showgirl co-star and director Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) — that hints at just the right screen role at just the right time.

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If there’s one thing we still need to discuss, it’s the 2011 Oscars and how co-host James Franco bungled them up.

Fellow Freaks and Geeks alum Seth Rogen responded to a question regarding Mr. Franco, and he finally weighed in on the Oscars’ decision to hire young hosts. Specifically, he thinks the Academy screwed James Franco over.

Phew, the UK’s Richest People Under 30 are Movie Stars

Posted on November 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Here it is, the reason I renewed my subscription to the internet: Rich lists. They’re just maddening, enthralling and depressing no matter who’s on them. Actually, if I were on one, I’d be depressed about it. Like, “I’m the richest? Is this all there is? Time to move to Sedona. Time to open a stationery shop.” On the UK magazine Heat ‘s 30 Under 30 Rich List, you’ll be pleased to learn that the UK’ s young movie stars make more money than its pop stars. But who leads the tally?

New John Carter Poster: Red Dawn

Posted on November 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The new poster for the long-delayed Disney caper John Carter , based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ old series, is awesome in three ways: 1) It is quite red. 2) It is quite bold. 3) It looks like a Super Nintendo/Playstation video game cover. Maybe an RPG featuring shirtless warriors and choppy computer-animated sequences? And the vocals talents of Dana Gould? Or maybe it just resembles the video for Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy.” Whatever, all of these. Click ahead.
