Kim Jong-il’s Tasteless Cinematic Legacy: In Memoriam

Kim Jong-il, the reclusive North Korean leader who died Sunday at age 69, was a tyrant, a thug, a meddler, a menace, a fanatic, a spendthrift, a dilettante, and a dangerous visionary responsible for some of the worst abuses witnessed by world civilization in the last half century. But enough about his movies.

Alec Baldwin Apologizes For Airline Meltdown

Occasionally volatile actor Alec Baldwin has issued an apology for the crazy incident that saw him get kicked off an American Airlines flight on Tuesday. Baldwin became irate after his game of Words With Friends was interrupted with the flight from JFK to LAX still at the gate, but the cabin doors closed. When he was asked to turn off his phone, Baldwin retreated to the bathroom and allegedly slammed the door, leading the pilot to call for his removal. Today, he’s feeling bad about all this. He writes: “First off, I would like to apologize to the other passengers onboard the American Airlines flight that I was thrown off of yesterday. It was never my intention to inconvenience anyone with my ‘issue’ with a certain flight attendant.” “I suppose a part of my frustration lay with the fact that I had flown American for over 20 years and was brand loyal, in the extreme.” “The ticket agents and Admiral’s Club staff have always been nothing but abundantly helpful, as I have flown hundreds of thousands of miles with the one carrier.” “My confusion began when the flight, already a half hour behind schedule, boarded, the door closed, and we proceeded to sit at the gate for another 15 minutes.” “I then did what I have nearly always done and that was to pull out my phone to complete any other messaging I had to do before take off.” “In nearly all other instances, the flight attendants seemed to be unbothered by and said nothing about such activity, by me or anyone else, until we actually were pulling away from the gate.” “In this case, while other people were still manipulating their own phones, this one employee singled me out to put my phone away. Afterward, we still sat at the gate. I pulled out my phone again, while others did the same.” “Again, I was singled out by this woman in the most unpleasant of tones. I guess the fact that this woman, who had decided to make some example of me, while everyone else was left undisturbed, did get the better of me.” “However, I have learned a valuable lesson.” Continue reading Alec’s mea culpa on The Huffington Post …

Edgar Wright Programs 35mm Fest of Movies He’s Never Seen

After programming his favorite cult and classic films in two “Wright Stuff” slates at the New Beverly Cinema , Edgar Wright is returning this month with an unusual twist: For eight nights starting December 9, the Scott Pilgrim director will present double features of films he hasn’t seen. Last time he told you to ” envy these virgins ;” this time, he’s the virgin! It’s the ultimate game of cinematic catch-up that embraces the bashful truth about cinephilia; no matter how many of the greats you’ve seen, there’s always one (or two or a hundred) classics you have yet to check off the list.

Sadface Emoticon: Alec Baldwin Leaves Twitter

Alec Baldwin, one of our chirpiest and most opinionated tweeters, has apparently given up Twitter altogether. The 30 Rock star and Oscar nominee fled the site following an incident in which American Airlines booted him off a plane for playing Words With Friends and for being violent, abusive, and aggressive . All that remains of his Twitter is the handle name and the word “Deactivated.” Sad, sad day. Thrust your American flag at the sky and never forget his above-average GOP putdowns. [ @AlecBaldwin ]

Josh Hartnett on the Samurai Western Mash-Up Bunraku and Life Outside of Hollywood

It’s no coincidence that Josh Hartnett has been off the grid, so to speak, in the years following his most recent string of mainstream turns ( The Black Dahlia, Resurrecting the Champ, 30 Days of Night ); after spending a decade in Hollywood, the 33-year-old tells Movieline, other interests and challenges called. “I’ve been trying out a lot of different things,” Hartnett explained during a chat about his latest art film endeavor, Guy Moshe’s hyper-stylized Bunraku . “I started this business so young, I kind of grew up in it… I’m just living a rather unique life, I think, and I enjoy it.”
