VIDEO: Elijah Wood and RZA Showcase Karaoke Skills and Questionable Song Choice at Fantastic Fest

Of all the songs I could pick to hear RZA and Elijah Wood sing at karaoke, The Black Eyed Peas’ entire discography would be pretty low on the list. That said, this video still rules. and apparently blame (or credit) for the song selection goes to Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo. Anyway, as a counter-point to all the stuffy red carpet coverage of Toronto and Venice, I give you the karaoke party for Austin’s genre-centric Fantastic Fest featuring Wood, RZA, Vigalondo and others. Just watch the mayhem and try not to get pumped for the week. Happy Monday!

Do The Time Warp: Rocky Horror Picture Show Turns 35

In one lonely theater in Los Angeles, California on September 26th 1975, a weird little movie based on a weird little stage show opened. It got mixed reviews and people more or less stayed away. But when the Rocky Horror Picture Show began to circulate the midnight movie circuit, a genuine underground phenomenon was born — people began to dress up, talk back and throw things at the screen. And now 35 years later, it’s still in limited release. So grab your fishnets and check out the original trailer and my favorite number after the break.

Introducing the SNL Scorecard: The Good, Bad and Ugly of Saturday Night

Saturday Night Live ‘s 36th season commenced last night with alumna Amy Poehler as host — Poehler’s first time in that role, making her only the fourth former female cast member to handle hosting duties. A lot of changes were made in the offseason: Abby Elliott and Bobby Moynihan joined the main cast; Will Forte moved on and Jenny Slate wasn’t invited back; Vanessa Bayer, Paul Brittain, Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah were all added as feature players. How did the new blood fare in their first episode? Not surprisingly, they weren’t seen much (though they did get a chance to briefly wave to the camera during the opening monologue… so that’s nice). Even more importantly, was SNL any good ? Movieline busted out its fresh new SNL Scorecard (along with the patented Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll) to make sense of it all.

Huge Disney Flop to Become a Much-Anticipated Musical

Tony-winner Harvey Fierstein has signed on to write a libretto for a stage version of Newsies , the 1992 Disney bomb about the NYC paperboy strike of 1899. Fierstein will be aided by Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken. The film has gained a considerable following since its poor box office performance, which once prompted star Christian Bale to note, “Time healed those wounds.
