"I’ll Cut Your Fingers Off!’: Mad Men Recapped

The Japanese are coming! It should be cause for celebration at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, but instead served as the trigger for an epic orgy of scheming, loathing and throat-slashing agita — just the way we like our mid-season Mad Men . That it entitles Roger Sterling to some of his most historic one-liners is merely a bonus. Let’s break it down.

The Verge: Callan McAuliffe and Madeline Carroll

In Rob Reiner’s retro family film Flipped , the central, budding romance is handled in a novel way: first we see things from the perspective of aloof junior high schooler Bryce (Callan McAuliffe), and then we replay the same events through the perspective of his not-so-secret admirer, Juli (Madeline Carroll). For this edition of the Verge, then, let’s check in with McAuliffe first (he’s a 15-year-old Australian with a key role in the upcoming action film I Am Number Four ), then hear from Carroll (already a TV and film veteran at the age of 14), two unusually self-possessed young actors.

Tyler Perry Will Buy, Demolish Your Dream House

A bittersweet story in the Sunday NYT recounted the sale of Dean Gardens, an Atlanta estate known more for its gaudy, tacky, rich-person excesses (and an 18-hole golf course) than anything resembling good taste. Even Tyler Perry can’t stand it; the filmmaker and mogul dropped $7.6 million for the 58-acre sprawl just so can raze the dump and build a new house that is “environmentally friendly and made of concrete.” Especially the closets.

Leonardo DiCaprio Made More Money Than God For Inception

Eight-figure salaries for big movie stars in big Hollywood movies is no big news — ever since Jim Carrey pulled the first $20 million paycheck for The Cable Guy , it’s been pretty commonplace for the biggest stars to be compensated wildly for their services. But even compared to his biggest peers, Leonardo DiCaprio has pulled in some impressive bank for his starring role in Inception .

Friday Box Office: Vampires Doesn’t Suck

And what a dubious honor it is. Vampires Suck , the latest anti-comedy from the Date Movie brain trust, managed to just barely eke out a win over Sly’s crew of dudes in The Expendables , though they may yet win the weekend. Meanwhile, the rest of the five films that opened last night were scattered throughout the rather wan box office receipts, with Jennifer Aniston’s The Switch , thudding into eighth place. Your Friday Box Office is here.

James Cameron on His Long-Lost Music Video and Falling in Love with Kathryn Bigelow

Last Thursday, I had a lengthy, terrific interview with James Cameron in advance of the special edition of Avatar (rereleased to theaters August 27), and all this week, Movieline will bring you pieces of that wide-ranging talk. At the end of my conversation with James Cameron, was there any way I could let him go without asking him about “Reach,” the only music video he ever directed? The deliciously surreal 1988 clip was made for Bill Paxton’s band Martini Ranch , and not only did it feature frequent Cameron collaborators like Paxton, Jenette Goldstein, and Lance Henriksen, but it starred filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow as a sexy cowboy one year before Cameron married her, three years before they divorced, and twenty-two years before Bigelow won the Best Director Oscar over Cameron for The Hurt Locker .
