2010 Box Office Receipts: 3-D Surcharges Are Alive and Well

The year-end box office receipts are in, and Hollywood fell just short of last year’s record-setting $10.6 billion haul. While ticket receipts still broke $10 billion, overall attendance this year dropped a whopping 5.36 percent, making 2010 the second-lowest-attended year of the last decade. This drop, along with the fact that awful 3-D conversion of Clash of the Titans finished just outside the top 10, suggests that audiences this year were totally down with that 3-D surcharge. Also interesting is the fact that almost half of the top 10 films of the year, including the number-one ranked Toy Story 3 , were CGI animation. Watch your backs, bankable actors!

The Top Seven Most Ridiculous Controversies of 2010

In the yesteryears, a controversy had to really work up a head of steam to make the papers and the magazines, slowly gathering strength until it erupted into a full-bore gossip hurricane.

But other times, it’s simply a lot of sound and fury ultimately signifying nothing. Join us for the Top Seven Most Ridiculous Controversies 2010

Ryan Gosling on Blue Valentine, Bleeding Nipples and No Longer Being a Pornographer

The Blue Valentine awards show freight train pulled into the Kips Bay AMC in New York City on Thursday night and the perpetually stoic stars of the film, Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, got downright hysterical. In the span of just ten minutes the prettier-than-thou duo were retelling stories of nipple bleeding, the recent overturn of their film’s controversial rating and the rumored trysts of Marilyn Monroe. Are these two joking their way to (deserved) Oscar nominations?

Today in MPAA Hypocrisy: Good vs. Bad Oral Sex, Kids With Weapons

I get just as tired of writing this crap up as you probably do reading about it, but for some reason it feels like the beginning of the end of Hollywood in a way: The MPAA ratings board is under assault again for determining the oral-sex sequence featured in Blue Valentine is worthy of at least some of the film’s NC-17, while letting the same act — by two women — slide in the R-rated Black Swan . Oh, and then there’s the kid with the knife.
