The Mad Science of Fringe: The Walternate Strikes Back

Posted on May 14, 2010 by | Leave a comment

We went Over There in the aptly named opener to the two-part Fringe finale last night — over there, of course, being the other side, where an ID is a “show-me,” Martin Luther King Jr. is on the 20, and Agent Olivia Dunham is about 100 times cooler than she is over here. In addition to those revelations, however, Walter Bishop and Co. offered up a ton of fodder for the show’s scientific canon. But did these revelations jibe with what we already know?

Aaron Sorkin Comes to Newsweek’s Aid in Gay Actor Controversy… Sort Of

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s been a rough week for Newsweek writer Ramin Setoodeh: after writing an editorial about how he can’t buy gay actors in straight roles, he was eviscerated by Kristin Chenoweth and made the target of a boycott by Glee creator Ryan Murphy, despite his hasty attempt to reframe his intentions . Today, though, Setoodeh found an unlikely defender in The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin.

Will Tonight’s Guest-Star-Laden 30 Rock Mark an Official Shark Jump?

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Ever since the Megan Mullally-Oprah Winfrey-Steve Martin-Jennifer Aniston onslaught of season three, 30 Rock has garnered a reputation — good and bad — for booking esteemed guest-stars. We’ve been treated to appearances by everyone from James Franco to Jon Bon Jovi to Buzz Aldrin in the current season, and tonight’s episode, entitled “Emanuelle Goes to Dinosaur Land,” will present a full credits sequence worth of the show’s past gets — with room for surprises. Should we be worried that 30 Rock , a show that once gleamed with invention and singular personality, is now a carnivalesque showcase of showbiz connections?

On VOD: 7 Films Far Preferable to The Human Centipede

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Hubbub aside, there are other slabs of fresh kill available on VOD besides The Human Centipede , which reminded me mostly of the Franken-toys crawling through Sid’s bedroom in Toy Story , a scene that was far more chilling. And you didn’t pity the actors. (Also, come on: The “centipede” idea wouldn’t work at all. After one G.I. tract is done with foodstuff, there’s nothing left for the next two! They’d starve! Come on!) No, better to search the cloud for more life-affirming grist — because, well, you’re alive, and your mouth isn’t sewn to my anus.

The rest is here:

Taylor Lautner’s ‘Cooler of Meat’ Diet and 4 Other Revelations From Oprah’s Twilight Special

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

To the delight of shrieking Twi-hards across America, Oprah’s Twilight spectacul-aaaaaaar aired today. Kristen Stewart spent the hour fidgeting in her seat and avoiding eye contact with everyone, even the Jamaican fan whom Oprah had flown in just to meet her. Robert Pattinson responded to every serious questions with quippy answers (“She’s pregnant,” he shouted when Oprah asked if he was dating Stewart). Taylor Lautner talked about his abs and Dakota Fanning seemed wise beyond her years. Basically, it was every Twilight promotional interview you have ever seen plus Oprah. Fortunately, Movieline has compiled the five anecdotes you have not already heard a thousand times after the jump.

Who’d Make the Better Marilyn Monroe: Naomi Watts or Michelle Williams?

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Today, word broke of the next project from director Andrew Dominik (of the woefully underseen The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford ): an adaptation of the Joyce Carol Oates novel Blonde , with Naomi Watts set to star as Marilyn Monroe. There’s only one problem: Michelle Williams is also about to play the silver screen bombshell in Simon Curtis’s My Night with Marilyn . So, we put it to you: if only one of these projects gets the go-ahead, which Marilyn would you like to see?

Adam Sandler vs. the Arcade

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

A little while ago, we introduced you to Pixels , a cute web short about 8-bit video game characters on the rampage. Now, Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison shingle has picked up the feature rights, and you can extrapolate from there, can’t you? Like, Donkey Kong will probably teach him something about connecting with his kids. And they’ll get Seth Gordon to direct, and people will draw comparisons between that and his King of Kong , and he’ll stroke his chin thoughtfully and say, “Well, they’re two very different movies.” [ Deadline ]

SNL’s Kenan Thompson on Tough Accents, New Sketches, and His Dream Guest Host

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The Saturday Night Live process can take a lot out of a person, as Movieline found out last week while speaking with Kenan Thompson in between rehearsals for the now legendary Betty White episode . In fact, the actor — whose skilled impressions (Al Roker, Whoopi, Tiger Woods) and inventive characters (Deandre Cole, Jean K. Jean) have made him the hardest-working male cast member this season — was so busy writing and rehearsing that he had no idea that Alec Baldwin had been confirmed as the season’s finale host. In spite of Kenan’s grueling schedule, he still found the energy to tell Movieline about the sketch he is dying to get on the air and the actors he would love to see host the show next season.
