The Adjustment Bureau Gets Adjusted

Is it time to start worrying about Matt Damon’s career? Following on the heels of the oft-shifted dud Green Zone , his next film, The Adjustment Bureau , has been knocked from its cushy July 30 calendar position to September 17. Because when you think blockbusters, you think September! Err. Maybe this is a sign that he should just stop making movies for Universal. [ Deadline ]

What are the Most Ridiculous Parts of the New Jonah Hex Poster?

While the trailer for Jonah Hex has yet to appear , Warner Brothers did its best today to remind audiences that this movie not only exists, but will get released as planned on June 18.

After the jump, the full poster and its five oddest design choices. Imagine what treats the movie holds. The mind reels.

Burtonmania!

When you’re hot, you’re hot, and Tim Burton is pretty damned hot. With his $875 million-grossing Alice in Wonderland not too far in the background, the Museum of Modern Art announced today that its just-closed Burton exhibition was MoMA’s third-biggest ever, with 810,500 visitors in five months — a figure trailing only retrospectives of Picasso and Matisse.

Lindsay Lohan vs. Glee

It turns out that Lindsay Lohan did see last week’s Madonna-themed episode of Glee , in which McKinley High’s guidance counselor (Jayma Mays) lamented that today’s teenage girls only have role models like Lindsay Lohan, who “looks like something out of Lord of the Rings ,” to emulate. Lohan responded on Sunday night via Twitter: “#gleecast i hope that the show was referring to me looking like a fairy! with the- and the ‘guidance couselor’ [sic] she’s not a natural redhead.” Your move, Ryan Murphy.

Acclaimed Cinematographer Adam Kimmel Arrested

The beleaguered Moneyball is going to need a new cinematographer, as its DP Adam Kimmel was arrested last week on charges he sexually assaulted a child in Connecticut. Kimmel (whose credits include Capote , the Spike Jonze short I’m Here , and the upcoming Never Let Me Go ) was already a registered sex offender in New York, and since his Thursday arrest, a sweep of his house brought further charges of criminal possession of a firearm and the illegal possession of explosives and fireworks.
