And you thought only movies could have disastrous screenings! Julie Taymor’s Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark previewed on Broadway last night and the $65 million production went off with so many hitches that the production lasted for almost three-and-a-half hours, contained five stoppages and one almost-revolt. If only Broadway had review embargoes, amirite?

Add Actor Mark Ruffalo to the long list of threats to America’s security. Apparently the Kids Are Alright actor’s work organizing screenings of the anti-drilling documentary GasLand landed him a spot on the U.S. terror watch list. So yes, the Department of Homeland Security probably spent the holiday having a Mark Ruffalo viewing party as preliminary research. Hopefully they got the director’s cut of Ride with the Devil ; it really is much better. But assuming that this isn’t a mistake, it begs the question: How many other politically outspoken directors and actors are on this list?

Sad news for people who like to laugh: Actor Leslie Nielsen of Naked Gun and Airplane! fame of has died of complications from pneumonia at the age of 84. For my money, there’s no better showcase of Nielsen’s deadpan comic timing and deft slapstick ability than this montage of epilogues from Police Squad! , in which Nielsen fakes a freeze frame at the end of every episode. Check them out along with a reminder of Nielsen’s non-comedy work after the jump.

Emma Stone recently announced that due to her involvement as a web-slinger’s love interest in the forthcoming Spiderman she would be unable to join the cast of Jonah Hill’s 21 Jump Street remake. Now, it’s hard to be sure if the red-headed upstart is really jumping ship to play Peter Parker’s non-red-headed gal or if she just happened to catch The A-Team OnDemand, but here are five other actors that would make the perfect Officer Judy Hoffs. It’s time to go back to school kids.

The 3-D explosion of the 1950s — and its re-emergence in the 21st century – had a very specific economic agenda in mind; namely, to get people to stop watching their TVs and to drag themselves out to the movies. But will the new 3-D TVs take away the last special perk that movie theaters have to offer?

I’ll be there. You’ll be there. The glitter-caked hopes of a generation will be there. A drag queen with a “Half-Breed” outfit will be there. But most of all, utter skepticism will be there. I’m talking about tonight’s midnight Burlesque premiere, which will raise the stakes on burlesque-themed cinema for weeks to come. To prepare ourselves for the gala at hand, let’s line up the 21 biggest questions that need to be answered by tomorrow morning — when the magic, rouge, and absinthe have faded.

The autobiographies of Samuel Fuller and Nicholas Ray are two of the most passionate, heartbreaking and instructive books about filmmaking ever written. Ray is best known for directing James Dean’s iconic performance in Rebel Without a Cause . Fuller made some of the greatest genre movies of the ’50s and ’60s including The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor . Both novels are compulsively readable, with enough filmmaking advice to replace an entire year of film school and enough insight into both filmmakers’ lives and struggles to captivate even the most casual cinephile.

Bullet-headed counterprogramming to this week’s slate of soft-palate fare, Faster was built for speed, and for an action-savvy audience who can appreciate a throwaway vengeance flick for exactly what it is. Though the film’s serviceable pretense of a plot is doled out in increments small enough to pull off a big, bruising twist at the end, Faster is about delivering — early, often and without shame.
