Late Night Highlights: Betty White Takes (and Spits Up) a Birthday Shot with David Letterman

Elsewhere, Jimmy Fallon and the Roots performed with Steven Tyler, Regis Philbin celebrated his impending retirement, Larry King parodied himself, and Stephen Colbert promoted a new Slanket competitor, the Coma Cozy.

Bad Movies We Love: Addams Family Values

Caution: This is not a bad movie. Yes, we’re one sentence in, and I’ve already broken a major Bad Movies We Love rule. Addams Family Values is perfectly cast, hilarious, and the best showcase of Joan Cusack’s insanity since she wore clown leper makeup in Working Girl . But Addams Family Values qualifies as a BMWL because it’s a freakishly dated ’60s sitcom making a go of ’90s family fare, an ooky onslaught of puns and one-liners, and a movie so ridiculous that its theme song is the Tag Team opus “Addams Family (Whoomp).” It’s a Bad Movie We Love because rational filmmakers would’ve never let it happen, but somehow this goofy riot prevailed. Thank God.

Christian Slater Plays My Favorite Scene: ‘That’s the Most Romantic Moment in Movie History’

Of all the roles that Christian Slater has played in his 30-year career, one of his most beloved remains Clarence Worley, the comic book store clerk who falls for a cute call girl in True Romance . So it is ironic that when Movieline asked the actor — who stars in Fox’s upcoming workplace comedy Breaking In — to play a round of Movieline’s go-to parlor game last week, Slater described the big screen romance that rang truest to him. Hint: There ain’t gonna be no re-match for this very special round of My Favorite Scene.

DVD: Are We Allowed to Call Broadcast News a Classic Yet?

While Network is the movie that prophesied the future of corporate-controlled TV news, James L. Brooks’ 1987 Broadcast News was more zeitgeist-y. The shift toward happy-talk infotainment had been going on long enough that Brooks had satirized it in the 1970s on The Mary Tyler Moore Show , but the battle against what Holly Hunter’s character calls “the historic influence of Entertainment Tonight ” had not been so roundly lost as it is now.

Sacha Baron Cohen is the New J.D. Salinger

“I don’t speak to journalists out of character,” the comic said to a reporter at one of Sunday night’s Golden Globes afterparties. The simple question: Is he a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences? “You’ll have to ask the Academy.” And… scene. Thanks for coming, Sacha! [ NYT ]
