What’s the Funniest Line of Movie Dialogue in 2011?

Justin Guarini Lives! (On Broadway?)

American Idol cynics bug you with revisionist history. They caw, “I mean, Idol gave us Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, but they also gave us ( sniff, cackle ) Justin Guarini.” The butterscotch Afro was tired, sure, but hear this: Guarini’s talent has always stood for itself, and American Idol wouldn’t have been compelling in its inaugural season without him. Now, he’s finally getting his comeuppance on the Great White Way.

So, About That Mark Wahlberg Porn Series…

Good news, fans of porn, HBO and Mark Wahlberg: All three elements are colliding in a new untitled series being developed at the premium cable network by Entourage executive producers Wahlberg and Steve Levinson. The hour-long drama will focus on a “giant video company under siege from Internet competitors and a girl from the Midwest whose boyfriend convinces her to move to Los Angeles to become a star.” Both actors and real-life porn performers will star in the project, which is being written by none other than… James Frey.

We’re going to tell the type of stories no one else has told before.” Well, no one except for Paul Thomas Anderson. [ NYP ]

To watch him in The Switch, standing at the stove making pancakes (a lice-proof plastic shower cap pulled over his hair — don’t ask), or bringing the grace of a Gene Kelly routine to a bit in which, hung over, he barfs into an office waste-can, is to see a particular kind of comic intuition at work. For Bateman, there’s no distinction to be made between high and low comedy — he brings neurotic elegance to everything he does.
