When the late filmmaker Ken Russell passed away last week at the age of 84, he’d been planning to remake the infamous 1976 X-rated Alice in Wonderland musical in which Alice is taken on a tour of Wonderland by a randy White Rabbit.

The first trailer for The Five-Year Engagement has arrived, and only time will tell where it falls on Universal chief Ron Meyer’s well-known quality-control spectrum . Does the story of one couple’s protracted wedding plan look funny enough? Sure. Will Emily Blunt and Jason Segel bring in the dates and the dudes alike? Why not? But do you know what really sells this movie? I can barely even write it.

Not long ago I poisoned you with a lengthy tribute to Madonna’s 1986 fiasco Shanghai Surprise , and just yesterday I revisited five of Madonna’s more tolerable moments in film with a perky countdown. Time to strike my original pose and get back to rancor: Here’s a proper evisceration of Who’s That Girl , the 1987 comedy starring Griffin Dunne and W.E. ‘s auspicious director. Is it a riot? Yes.

Film bloggers and pundits and awards season watchers have pecked this David Denby-Scott Rudin exchange to death with no clear consensus or solution, but one player in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo kerfuffle has a solution. “If it were up to me, I wouldn’t show movies to anybody before they were released,” director David Fincher told the Miami Herald. “…If I had my way, the New York Film Critics Circle would not have seen this movie and then we would not be in this situation.” More wishful thinking from Fincher after the jump!

Grab your grain of salt! A new report states that an unidentified PR firm was so worried that fans would not turn out for Tom Cruise’s arrival in India this past Saturday for the Mumbai Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol premiere, that they paid approximately 200 people $3 each to show up and scream for the actor when he walked out of the local airport gate. The paid extras were also given a buffet lunch. “Tom kaun? I don’t know who he is or what he does,” one hired fan told First Post’s Bollywood division . “We were told to come here by 1pm today and wait for a foreign VIP to come out of the airport gate and scream and shout when he came.” [ Movies.com via FirstPost.com ]
