What Happy Madison Intern is Behind the Sad, Sad Jack and Jill Twitter Page?

Posted on November 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s Friday, opening day for Sony’s legendarily crapped-upon Adam Sandler vehicle Jack and Jill — so what better time to launch a Jack and Jill Twitter feed than today, amirite? So the timing’s not so good; at the time of this writing the page is just a few hours old. But the Tweets?? PRICELESS . Trust me: Skip the movie, hold onto your $10, and instead give it to the poor Happy Madison intern you might imagine slaving away in the office on a Friday trying to drum up interest in the abysmal comedy one unintentionally hilarious awful Tweet at a time. After the jump, a selection of the mind-blowingly best-worst Jack and Jill Tweets thus far. You’re welcome.

Grading Jason Segel’s First Five Tweets

Posted on November 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Jason Segel, the roving Apatow muse and Jim Henson scion, has joined Twitter in a last-minute PR blitz for The Muppets , which hits theaters November 23. Thus far he’s tweeted about five times, which means we should rate each 140-character quip and help Mr. Segel to better his tweeting skills. I’m ready to judge!

REVIEW: Immortals Wants to Be 300 So Bad It Hurts

Posted on November 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As cool-looking, dumb and deadly serious as you could desire, Immortals openly aims to be the heir to 300 , and succeeds in at least being a reasonable facsimile that hits many (too many) of the same testosterone-driven beats. The battles are just as imaginatively bloody, the abs painstakingly chiseled, the dialogue tin-eared, only this time around the stakes are not just the fate of the historic(esque) world, but of the divine one as well. There are gods in this film, beautiful, gold-cloaked ones who watch worriedly from atop Olympus as Greece is overrun by the armies of the wicked King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), a man who wants nothing less than to bring about the destruction of their divine order, though they’re forbidden to interfere in the world of man for…oh, who knows why? Also, it’s in 3-D — dark, dark 3-D I’d avoid if given the option.

Academy Bus Rolls Over Brett Ratner

Posted on November 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I wrote as much on Monday, but take it from AMPAS president Tom Sherak: “Someone the Academy hired to perform a very important function messed up, messed up badly. He’s done everything he can, but this is him. The Academy did what it needed to do by accepting his resignation when he offered it. Does it tarnish it? I hope not. If someone feels it does, then we will work really hard getting the tarnish off. It wasn’t us, it was someone who worked for us. It’s like anything else. I hope not. We are going to continue to do what we do, which is support the arts and the technology of arts, and we want to be as above the fray as we can be.” [ LAT ]

AFI Fest Closer The Adventures of Tintin Captures Throwback Charm at Breakneck Pace

Posted on November 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The 2011 AFI Fest drew to a close Thursday night with the North American public premiere of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn , directed, appropriately enough, by AFI -associated Steven Spielberg . Though he was unable to attend in person (much of the crew of Tintin , including Spielberg, was on location filming Lincoln ), he sent star Jamie Bell in his stead to introduce the film and play a pre-recorded message for the audience at the Grauman’s Chinese, which became so packed festival goers spilled over into a second overflow theater for the premiere.

The 9 Most Scathing Critical Responses to Jack and Jill

Posted on November 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s been a while since the critical establishment really, really hated something enough for Movieline to feature a customary ” Scathing Responses ” round-up. But they have emptied their spleens today for Jack and Jill , the new Adam Sandler “comedy” that our own critic Alison Willmore described as “a film whose star often seems moments away from turning to the camera and yelling ‘ARE YOU LAUGHING NOW ?'”

Safe Trailer: Jason Statham Kicks Ass, Boasts About His Balls

Posted on November 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In the new Jason Statham thriller Safe , which comes out on the Oscar-unfriendly date of March 2, our gritty hero must protect a 12-year-old girl who can “memorize anything.” Would you beat up a bunch of trained hoodlums to protect a preteen with savant tendencies? Is memorization that necessary a skill anymore? I would just buy an almanac or a flash drive and let the girl fend for herself. But Jason chose differently! Click through for the trailer’s carnage and some of Statham’s old-fashioned testicle touting.
