Movieline Graph: Does Michael Cera Really Play the Same Role in Every Movie?

When did it go wrong for Michael Cera? Once upon a time, he was the hippest comic actor in the room, yet to judge from the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World box office, the audience has turned on him. The most common complaint is that Cera too often plays himself (literally, in the case of Paper Heart ), so to judge that claim’s validity, Movieline has assembled a graph of Cera’s most frequent filmic characteristics.

100 Reasons David Fincher Might Have Made the Wrong Facebook Movie

Not to make light of a situation in which three teens have died, seriously, but holy crap have you heard about these Facebook “hit lists” in the small Colombian town of Puerto Asis?

All Your Summer Favorites Trashed in New n+1 Film Section

The aesthetes at n+1 always seem to come back to movies in their long history of cultural criticism. (Come on; six years is forever these days.) And now look at them with their brand-new film section led by A.S. Hamrah , who delivers nothing but the finest takes on The Kids Are All Right (“only slightly less conservative than Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds “), Sex and the City 2 (“a low point in the history of American pop culture”), Inception (“People whose dream movie is a bad movie about dreams that are like bad movies are f*cked”), and more. At least they liked Winter’s Bone . [ n+1 via Looker ]

Watch Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show Writers Apply For Minimum Wage Jobs

At least that’s what this weekend’s Emmy B-Roll had them doing. The writing staff of The Tonight Show with Conan O’B rien followed in the tradition of Best Variety Writing nominees by submitting a short clip to be shown during the Creative Arts Emmy Ceremony — and theirs, of course, alluded to their collective unemployment following the NBC upheaval.

Is This the First-Season Plot for the Chinese Version of The Office?

Perhaps the second season, too. Many have wondered what the Chinese version of The Office will look like, but with ripped-from-the-headlines material like this, the producers will certainly have enough to work with. Via NPR : “A massive traffic jam in north China that stretches for dozens of miles and hit its 10-day mark on Tuesday stems from road construction in Beijing that won’t be finished until the middle of next month. Some drivers have been stuck in the jam for five days.” And you thought your commute was bad. [ NPR via The Awl ]

Where is the Runaway Train on the New Unstoppable Poster?

So Fox has unveiled the first official poster for Tony Scott’s long-gestating runaway-train thriller Unstoppable , featuring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine as an unlikely duo charged with halting said train — loaded with chemicals, natch — before it jumps the rails, barrels into a bus full of children and/or achieves any number of other cataclysmic scenarios. All of which raises the question: Where’s the train?
