Slackers, Puss in Boots Screenwriter Slams Hunger Games Script

Screenwriter David H. Steinberg’s credits include two American Pie sequels, National Lampoon’s Barely Legal , the 2002 Devon Sawa vehicle Slackers , and, yes, Puss in Boots … which makes him an expert on adapting for the screen, of course! “…Ultimately I was underwhelmed. The movie simply failed to capture the emotion of the book… (No one in the movie ever looks hungry!)” [ Yahoo ]

Report: MPAA’s Piracy Figures Only Overstated by $50 Billion

Yikes : “[T]he Motion Picture Association’s claims of $58 billion in actual US economic losses and 373,000 lost jobs came from this press release . These numbers originated at a think tank called the ‘Institute for Policy Innovation’ – an organization that Businessweek once profiled in an article called ‘ Op-Eds for Sale .’ In it, an IPI analyst freely admitted to taking payoffs from disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff in exchange for writing ‘op-ed pieces boosting the lobbyist’s clients.’ The IPI’s president supported this behavior, saying it was neither wrong nor unethical, and dismissing those who apply ‘a naïve purity standard’ to the business of writing op-eds. This doesn’t necessarily mean that MPAA lobbyists paid the IPI to conjure up these numbers. But whatever their genesis, they’re not easy figures to support.” [ TED Blog via The Dish ]

Khloe Kardashian: Anti Birth Control, Possibly Pro Sex Tapes

Forget the Kim Kardashian engagement watch. We need to get the Khloe Kardashian pregnancy ticker going. The recently-married reality star tells Steppin’ Out magazine (the same publication that published this gruesome photo of Hailey Glassman) that she and Lamar Odom aren’t trying to get pregnant, but… “I’m not on the pill… I’m not sitting here staring at an ovulation calendar. I’m not saying to Lamar, ‘Okay, it’s time, let’s go!’ But people stir my words around. Let’s just say sometimes I talk too much.” You don’t need too go far for an example: On a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians , Khloe said she might make a solo sex tape for Odom. She has now sort of clarified those remarks, while still teasing the possibility. “It’s called a love tape,” Khloe said. “I don’t do sex tapes! Although, with my husband, I can’t say what I will or will not do in the future. I won’t know until I’m in that moment.” In other words: she might do a sex tape. As for sister Kourtney’s roller coaster relationship with Scott Disick, Khloe says: “Their relationship is definitely very different than mine. Mine is much smoother. I don’t know if it’s because we’re still so new… But whatever their relationship is, it definitely works for them. They like that. I could never have a relationship like that.” Neither could Kourtney and Scott, of course. Each of their fights is scriped by E! and a team of writers.
