John Travolta Doesn’t Understand How KFC Works

According to The Daily Mail, last Friday while in West Sussex, England for an annual Scientology event, John Travolta reportedly asked one of his reps to reserve a table at the local KFC for him and his guests. The KFC employee who answered the phone kindly explained to the actor’s rep that fast food chains operate on a first come-first serve basis, even if the customer was John Travolta. The actor never got his table or his fried chicken, instead going directly to a charity dinner. A spokesman for KFC has since released a statement about the Travolta debacle: “In hindsight, of course, we would have reserved a table for him. It’s not every day you get a Hollywood star eating in your restaurant.” [ Daily Mail ]

5 Suggestions for Amazing, 3-D Adaptations of Victorian Novels

Remakes often suck — but when they’re total stylistic upheavals of the source material, I’m more optimistic. Would you see a whacked-out, space-age remake of a classic period piece like Little Dorrit ? I would! Or better yet, this weekend’s ridiculous, steampunk The Three Musketeers in 3-D? It puts the “rich” in Richelieu and the “dumbass” in Dumas. I dig it! Ahead, we investigate five other Victorian novels worth revisiting in a fulgent 3-D experience. Put on your special glasses, Heathcliff.

The Best Director Feud That Never Was

Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Looper director Rian Johnson would have you believe he sought to bury the hatchet in a putative feud with Jason Reitman. The results are… vivid! “Just before sunrise I found Jason in a half shattered bathtub in a park outside of town. He was eating pork rinds and had obviously been crying and had carved what looked like a Golden Globe out of soap. He was in a dark place.” [ @rcjohnso via /film ]

About That Time Woody Allen Joked About Pederasty To the New York Times

Woody Allen may have lost his knack for titling his films , but he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. In a recent New York Times interview conducted by Elaine May, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter asked Allen to reveal something “startling” about himself that he had never shared publicly. Allen deadpanned, “I’m wanted for pederasty in Mongolia.” Other revelations? “I am already more than sufficiently attractive. Of course the actual impact of my physique might not be apparent to the naked eye at first glance, but with some laser surgery or perhaps corneal transplants the viewer will be amply rewarded.” [ NYT ]

Which 3 Movies Are the Most Pirated Films of All Time?

Earlier this month, Netflix released a list of their ten most-rented movies ever. It was a strange selection that shocked and saddened us — Sandra Bullock’s films The Blind Side and Crash ranked first and second, while the abominable, Jack Nicholson-Morgan Freeman terminal illness buddy comedy The Bucket List finished third. But weep for America’s horrendous taste no more — TorrentFreak has ranked the most pirated titles of all time and they are much more respectable selections. Can you guess what they are?

Steven Seagal Sworn in to Texas Border Patrol, For Real

Actor-musician-martial arts expert-reality TV lawman Steven Seagal is adding a new credit to his offscreen resume: Sheriff’s deputy. Yes, this is real, even if it seems like a page taken right out of, say, Machete . The 59-year-old Seagal reportedly rang the West Texas’ Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Office months ago for the position and “will be working full time to help secure the U.S. -Mexico border.” This is the world we live in. Details after the jump.
