Awesome Marine Sgt. on Mila Kunis Date: ‘This Was My Dream’

Keeping up with real news — and not, say, what the plot of the next Vin Diesel action film will be — can be quite a drag.

Scott Moore seemed to strike a chord this week. After all, it’s not every day when a real-life American hero gets to go on a date with Mila Kunis.

Watch Steven Spielberg Explain Why John Ford Cursed Him Out

The story of Steven Spielberg’s career beginnings — including how he fled a tour group at Universal and earned his first internship by asking staffers about their jobs — is oft-told, but when you’re the most influential filmmaker of a generation, your origin tale is always relevant. In a new video with his Cowboys & Aliens collaborators Jon Favreau, Brian Grazer, and Ron Howard, Spielberg sheds light on a time when Searchers director (and general legend) John Ford cursed him out.

Will Alien-Free Marketing, Lack of 3D, and Tonal Ambiguity Make Cowboys & Aliens a Tough Sell?

When it comes to conventions, Jon Favreau is nothing if not a man of the nerd people. Mindful of how much he owes to the Comic-Con faithful for jump-starting early word of mouth on the Iron Man franchise, he came to San Francisco this weekend with a treat: Nine minutes of footage from Cowboys & Aliens cut exclusively for the WonderCon audience, including a special reveal of the film’s big, bad aliens — aliens that Favreau otherwise intends to keep under wraps.

Can You Honestly Tell the Difference Between Glee and Kidz Bop’s ‘Tik Tok’?

This Glee show that Julie likes is out of control. It’s unfunny, witlessly tone-shifty, and a pox on this Golden Age of Television that keeps happening. Also, the “music” is scathing! Case in point: In the musical preview for next week’s episode, we hear the show’s clear-best character Brittany lead Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok.” Compare that rendition to the Kidz Bop Kids version and tell me if there’s really any difference (besides the awesomely kid-friendly lyrics).
