High School Cancels Dance Because Of Students With Concerns Of Freakiness We knew that twerking could be lethal but just how dangerous can the dance floor be? Apparently enough that one Oregon high school won’t take any chance. According to NY Daily News reports : Administrators at a Portland, Ore., high school have canceled an upcoming winter dance because of concerns about dirty dancing. A Portland Public Schools official says dancing has made some Grover Cleveland High School students feel unsafe. “This is way worse than dirty dancing. It’s over the top, sexual in nature,” district spokeswoman Christine Miles told KGW-TV. “We do have some families that think this isn’t a big enough issue to cancel the dance,” Miles said. “But if we have some kids who don’t feel safe at their own high school dance, it’s not OK.” The Clarion, the school’s paper, notes that past dances have seen arrests and students led away in handcuffs because of inappropriate actions. Several students told KGW that they shouldn’t be punished for the actions of a few classmates. This sounds crazy. What kinds of dances could they possibly be doing? Clarion/Cleveland High School
Proving that even your grandparents now know what video games are, Wreck-It Ralph was a happy surprise hit for Disney earlier this fall. Nabbing a healthy $202,184,813 box office take, the film not only got asses in seats, it also gave the studio its best-reviewed non-Pixar film in years and confirms the company’s power as a producer of genre-based popular culture. Obviously, that makes a sequel as inevitable as death, taxes, and launch-day DLC. So what’s in store for Wreck it Ralph 2 ? A welcome injection of Italian plumbing skills. Wreck-It Ralph Director Rich Moore has confirmed that he wants to include Nintendo’s Mario , longtime rescuer of the Mushroom Kingdom (and rumored paramour of its benevolent despot, Princess Peach ) in the sequel. In fact, Moore told Moviehole , Nintendo signed off on an appearance by the iconic magical handyman in the first film, but the filmmakers weren’t able to figure out how to make proper use of him. Next time around, Moore says, Mario is a given, come hell or Hiyoihoi . “We’ll really come up with something good for Mario to do [in the next film]“, he said. “To be able to present him in the sequel, would be great.” I approve. Nothing encapsulates the ’80s-era of arcade games like Super Mario Bros. , and Mario’s absence from Wreck-It Ralph felt like a missing arm, or at least a glitchy power-up box. Adding him to the sequel is better than getting a flying raccoon suit for Christmas. A trip by Ralph to the Mushroom Kingdom practically writes itself: obviously, you get from there to, say, Grand Theft Auto -land *, by finding one of Super Mario Bros. ‘ hidden warp zones. But why stop there? There are a ton of untapped arcade-game characters left to exploit. Here are my top picks: * Gauntlet: I’d love to see one of the characters (see above) from this classic hack-and-slash game show up, if only because Red Warrior will constantly complain that he “needs food badly.” * Dirk the Daring from Dragon’s Lair: This would probably be difficult since Dragon’s Lair was created by Don Bluth, and we all know he and Disney aren’t really on speaking terms. But I’d like to imagine that these fences could be mended, even if Dirk would die via dungeon trap within three seconds of showing up. * Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon : . Sure, we’d be forced to remember Scott Wolf’s hilarious turn as Billy in the odious 1994 movie, but nothing would get a lovable, John C. Reilly -voiced misanthrope out of a jam like the combined power of twin bruisers, beating people into walls. What would you like to see? Space Ace ? The Dinosaurs from Primal Rage ? The pixel from Pong ? Let us know in comments. * Enjoy an R-rating, Disney.

Technically, Heaven’s Gate / The Deer Hunter director Michael Cimino ( @Cimino1939 ) isn’t yet verified on Twitter , but we’ll allow the man the benefit of the doubt: He’s barely been Tweeting for 24 hours and already his account is a must-read. 1980’s Heaven’s Gate was such a notorious overbudget box office bomb that you can consider “pulling a heaven’s gate” Hollywood shorthand for bombastic failure, and yet: “A number of inexcusable, misleading things have been said about me,” Cimino Tweeted after his account sprang up yesterday. With Heaven’s Gate enjoying renewed interest and critical appreciation (not to mention the estimable Criterion treatment), engaging with cinephiles three decades later could be Cimino’s ticket back into the game. “Being infamous is not fun,” Cimino said last summer at the Venice Film Festival. Welcome to Twitter, Mr. Cimino! Give the guy a follow here and cross your fingers for some real talk along the lines of these Tweets about his Heaven’s Gate infamy, how he wanted to make The Empire Strikes Back as “a Western with lasers,” and his vision for turning the Kevin Bacon punch-dancing classic Footloose into a Grapes of Wrath -esque musical comedy. Film recommendation… or modified haiku? Young people of the world / Watch the films of John Ford / All of them / They are the best.— Michael Cimino (@Cimino1939) December 07, 2012 On Heaven’s Gate breaking even — and only 32 years after release! If Criterion's new edition of HEAVEN'S GATE sells enough copies this holiday season / It will finally break even / and we rewrite history.— Michael Cimino (@Cimino1939) December 07, 2012 On that one time someone called him a chubby Garry Shandling, which I think we can all agree would suck: A hack writer once described me as “Chubby. Like an Italian Garry Shandling carrying all the baggage of a short man” That hurt / But no more— Michael Cimino (@Cimino1939) December 07, 2012 How he almost kicked off his Sunday shoes until Paramount got nervous and fired him, which is the greatest cinematic tragedy of all because who wouldn’t want a five-hour Footloose ?? I wasn't being facetious about FOOTLOOSE / I worked on it for 6 months. / My John Steinbeck inspired musical-comedy didn't reach the screen.— Michael Cimino (@Cimino1939) December 07, 2012 On making his pitch to make The Empire Strikes Back : @ maxevry @ germainlussier Unfair & unfunny. I made a unique pitch for the 2nd film in 1978/9.— Michael Cimino (@Cimino1939) December 07, 2012 …and the follow-up explanation that makes me wonder if @cimino1939 is fake/just messing with us: Everyone was pitching ideas for STAR WARS / Mine was simple: / A straight Western / but with lasers. / All the sets already built of course.— Michael Cimino (@Cimino1939) December 07, 2012 Lastly, and most importantly! On his next would-be project, and his hireability: Take note, Hollywood! I would next like to make a film of my script MAN'S FATE / I also have recently finished a sci-fi script / I am fit & well & insurable— Michael Cimino (@Cimino1939) December 07, 2012 [ @cimino1939 ]
Traditionally a “guilty pleasure” is something you’d be embarrassed for the world to know you secretly enjoyed or for your Facebook friends to see you clicked on, but you know what? Around here we embrace the bad-to-godawful movies we love, and besides; what the heck does it even mean to like something ironically, you insufferable hipster? Toss away your pretentious hat, sit down in the circle of trust, take a deep breath, and join Movieline in unabashedly celebrating the inane, misguided, off-the-mark, and downright B-A-D but nevertheless shamelessly entertaining movies of the year – the Top 9 Not-So-Guilty Pleasures of 2011 . Because we all love some terrible things, don’t we?
Temperatures plunged this weekend — but enough about the box-office heat foreseen for this week’s new openings and even a few holdovers. Grab a snow shovel and let’s get to digging ourselves out of the icy trap also known as Weekend Receipts.
Kick up your Sunday lose ! Real Steel used robot abilities to topple the very well-received Footloose remake at the box office this weekend, though only by a slim margin. The Thing chimes in with a halfway decent showing, and The Big Year ‘s first receipts are… well, un-big. Let’s investigate.
God save Craig Brewer’s Footloose , which is less a movie for today’s audiences than for yesterday’s — and I mean that in the good way. This is a pop entertainment made with an eye for detail: When our teen hero and the young woman he’s been wooing move in for their first kiss, the setting sun peeps out from behind their conjoined silhouettes. Corny, right? Get this: The rays beam out through a star filter. You can roll your eyes at the obviousness of it all, or you can marvel that a filmmaker cared to make a choice so traditional, so clichéd, that it becomes a kind of pop-culture mission statement. It’s as if Brewer is taking a stand for movies that look like movies instead of audience hipness barometers.
I was never a big fan of this Elisabetta Canaalis prostitute. To me she always looked a little hard and manly, the kind of bitch you’d expect a guy you just assumed was gay all these years to date, because if anything she’d make for a good front provided you did have to fuck her, or maybe the guy you think is gay doesn’t know that he is gay, making for a whole other bag of issues I don’t really care about, cuz he’s moved onto a pro wrestler, and this bitch has moved onto Dancing with the Stars to hold onto that media attention her vagina finally got her after trying so hard, filling it with powerful men over and over again slowly progressing until hitting Italy obsessed Hollywood cock, I have a feeling she hunted down and captured so that she could live the fucking dream….and if DWTS is the dream, then here are the ABS to go with it….abs so hard no woman should ever have them but I do think her shirt should become a trend in high school gym uniforms everywhere…
Ashley “The Face” Tisdale is one of the least attractive faces in Hollywood, but she counter balances that disgusting with a little botched plastic surgery and a lot of working out, making her have this tight body that I’m much more used to seeing in work out clothes than attending events, because I guess being “The Face” makes it hard to leave the house and mingle with other beautiful people, because you know they’re just looking in disgust, judging internally, all while feeling sorry for you and only taking the time to talk to you because it’s like make a wish foundation or charity function and they’d feel subhuman if they didn’t talk to the face that would be fine in everyday life, but that chose to go hollywood, despite all the pressure to be hot…..but then again maybe I’m looking into this too much….here she is at the Footloose The Next Generation premiere, because Hollywood has no originality….I wonder if she’s playing Kevin Bacon’s part?! Everybody Footloose.
