Will Sony Play the Karate Kid Card in its Oscar War Vs. King’s Speech?

As noted in today’s edition of The Broadsheet, a writer at VF. com has made a compelling (or at least intriguing, or at least time-killing) case for The King’s Speech being little more than a well-produced riff on the original 1984 version of The Karate Kid . On the one hand, tropes is tropes; there are only so many original stories in the world, and eventually everything will have something in common. On the other… I mean, “The unorthodox, uncredentialed teacher is contrasted with a cruel — but more respected — educator.” Or, “The teacher helps fill a void left by the student’s absent father.” Is this the beginning of a covert Sony vs. Weinstein Oscar-season war?

F*ck You: Cee-Lo Says He’ll Work With Gwyneth Paltrow

2010 couldn’t shuffle off without one last prison yard shiv to the kidneys, could it? It turns out that Cee-Lo was so happy with Gwyneth Paltrow’s rendition of “F*ck You” on Glee (rechristened “Forget You” for television purposes) that he wants to work with the Oscar winner on a new project. “We’ve been considering a few things actually. You know, we’ll see what pans out. It’s a little too early to commit to a statement and I won’t ruin the surprise because whatever we’re going to do is going to be extra cool.” That’s one way to put it. Here’s hoping 2011 doesn’t start with a story about Cee-Lo getting together with Taylor Momsen . [ E! ]

Titanic, Battlefield Earth and 9 More Abandoned Movie Web Sites

Yesterday, the official Web site for the film Space Jam — which hasn’t been updated since the movie opened 14 years ago — had quite the resurgence when it was discovered to still be working and functioning like it was 1996. Naturally, the site’s existence got us wondering about other abandoned, obsolete official film sites from this particular era of the Internet. And hoo boy, we found some gems.

DVD: The Best Colin Firth Performance You’ve Probably Never Seen

As awards season kicks into high, and pundits and audiences alike unpack their adjectives to describe Colin Firth’s performance in The King’s Speech , it seemed like the right time to mention one of his wonderfully charming and funny turns that was barely seen in this country — his starring role in Fever Pitch (out of print on DVD but available from Netflix ). No, not the Drew Barrymore/Jimmy Fallon Fever Pitch , although both films were based on the same novel.

Michelle Williams Will Watch Brokeback Mountain with Daughter Matilda

Don’t shoot the messenger; this is what qualifies as news in the lazy hours before New Year’s Eve. In an interview with Angeleno magazine, Blue Valentine star Michelle Williams says she plans on one day watching Brokeback Mountain with daughter Matilda. “I was just an actor who happened to be lucky enough to be in the right place, and it was the place where I met Matilda’s father, and that is a lot,” she said, referring to the late Heath Ledger. “It was a lot. And it will be a lot for Matilda too, when she gets around to watching it. I will watch it with her, when she’s ready. It is hard to imagine what that would feel like, but one day, yes, we will watch it together.” Wonder what the Steak Eaters will think of that one. [ PopSugar ]
