Eileen Brennan, an acclaimed, veteran actress and Oscar nominee for her role in 1980’s Private Benjamin , has died , according to reports. She was 80. Brennan passed away last Sunday at her Burbank, California, home after a battle with bladder cancer, her management company confirmed. “Our family is so grateful for the outpouring of love and respect for Eileen,” her family said in a statement. “She was funny and caring and truly one of a kind.” “Her strength and love will never be forgotten. She will be greatly missed by all of us.” Brennan was known for character roles as sassy, brassy women, the kind with a sandpaper surface but a light, pure heart. Brennan appeared in classics like The Sting, The Last Picture Show and Clue . She reprised her role as Captain Doreen Lewis in the television adaptation of Private Benjamin and won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her work. Her career shifted more towards TV, guest-appearing in hits like ER, Murder, She Wrote, 7th Heaven and Will & Grace , in recent years.
Ever since we first heard of The Canyons , we all knew this would be a special film. And by special, I mean awful. Lindsay Lohan ‘s return to the big screen with this Kickstarter project hasn’t been met with applause and accolades as perhaps Lohan had hoped. In fact, out of every review of The Canyons there was only one that might be seen as positive, from Scott Foundas of Variety . “Lohan may not go as deep or as far as Brando, but with her puffy skin, gaudy hoop earrings and thick eye makeup, there’s a little-girl-lost quality to the onetime Disney teen princess that’s very affecting. Whenever she’s onscreen, she projects a sense of just barely holding on to that precarious slide area in the shadow of the Hollywood sign.” Lohan, of course, responded to this review via Twitter saying, “Wow… feeling humbled and so much gratitude.” Is gratitude really the emotion one would be feeling in this position? I get the impression that Foundas was perhaps describing Lindsay Lohan the person as opposed to whatever character Linday Lohan happened to be portraying. “Puffy skin” is not often a compliment. Positive or not, Variety ‘s review of The Canyons was the only one that could even be slightly interpreted as such. There were plenty more out there saying pretty much the exact opposite, makes one wonder if Foundas saw the same movie. The Canyons Trailer A lame, one-dimensional and ultimately dreary look at peripheral Hollywood types not worth anyone’s time either onscreen or in real life. — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter Lohan (who hasn’t carried a hit since 2005’s Herbie: Fully Loaded ) is more than believable, but neither the script nor her performance quite explains the fatal attraction that Tara seems to exert. In his first non-porn role, Deen is excellent as the icy Christian. — John Hazelton, Screendaily Lohan is a real actress, but in this movie she’s puffy and overwrought and unfocussed, and she weeps a lot. At times, needy and confused, she’s touching, but you’re not sure whether she’s crying in character, or lamenting her participation in a low-budget movie, or grieving over her own troubles. Whatever it is, she offers the only palpable emotion in the controlled wastes of The Canyons . The Canyons might have been more fun if it had a trashier, or less austere, style. — David Denby, New Yorker Here, Lohan is as bland and unfocused as the material. During the once scene that allows her [to] degrade her oppressive boyfriend, her robotic delivery freezes the possibilities of bona fide tension (as well as titillation, for whatever that’s worth). — Eric Kohn, Indiewire
Sometimes, when you’re drinking, you come with ideas you think are awesome, that really aren’t, like taking a Machete to a fucking watermelon in some sort of backyard performance that should have ended worse for the idiot, because that’s what idiots deserve… I still found this fail pretty funny, but that’s just because I love when people fail. Whether it is falling down the stairs or slipping during some stunt fail, or their business collapsing, or even their marriage, life, relationship fails…I’m into it…cuz I’m not a fucking hippie and real life sucks, so it makes me happy when people learn that.
As far as I’m concerned this is fake naked. Sure, by definition and if I was a scientist or some shit in the field of naked, I’d say, Bitch is naked, cuz she doesn’t have any clothes on, but as a man, I see no nipple, pussy lip or spread asshole, and just some PG-13, Disney Caliber naked, like a scene in one of their movies when someone walks in on someone else in the shower and they are all so embarassed…. I call it some strategic nudity that gets people like me saying “Shit Miley is Naked on a T-Shirt for an AIDS or Condom Campaign, even though she probably has never used a condom, no one in LA has, cuz AIDS doesn’t exist for rich people”…that might as well be her in a pair of shorts and a tank top all hard nippled. She’s hotter that way. But I’d still buy this shirt just to cum on it over and over again..even if without showing vagina, she might as well could have a Bieber Penis not a Beaver.
It appears as if David Fincher has finally found his girl – and her name is Rosamund Pike. Pretty much everyone’s reaction is “Rosamund Pike?!?!” but this is David Fincher, and who questions David Fincher? I’m certainly not about to. Starring alongside Ben Affleck in Gone Girl , Pike has been cast as Amy Dunne, the main female character in Gillian Flynn’s best selling novel. The book sold over two million copies and the film is highly anticipated. Also in talks for “supporting roles” are Neil Patrick Harris and Tyler Perry. Not quite sure what those supporting roles would be, but those two men are the big rumors swirling around right now. If you are looking to see some of Rosamund Pike’s current work, she can be seen in the upcoming Simon Pegg and Nick Frost film. Check out this The World’s End trailer now!
Star Wars has a lot in common with Game of Thrones . Both deal with betrayal… power… mean dictators… awkward sibling relationships. But some of the characters from the movie may scoff at some of the characters from the TV show and vice versa, as the aforementioned themes are dealt with through various degrees of bad ass-ery across the two stories. Courtesy of the Wars vs. Thrones subreddit , see what we mean in the following hilarious memes:
Where Is Jaden? Kylie Jenner was spotted on a movie date in Calabasas with Lil Twist Tuesday. SMH @ this guy’s getup. He does seem a lot — more masculine or something, than Jaden. Do you think they be messin’ around in the theater when the lights go out? After the movies, Kylie was spotted with Twist and his friends buying some munchies at the local grocery store, presumably before heading to Justin Bieber’s crib to party. Kylie is only 15 and most of these kids are of age. If you were Kris Jenner, would you be okay with this? Hit the flip for more flicks
