Word just over the Movieline transom reports that the 49th New York Film Festival will open Sept. 30 with Carnage , Roman Polanski’s screen adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning play God of Carnage .
Hollywood veteran Jerry Lewis dropped this bit of real talk on assembled television journalists during the Encore portion of the TCA press tour on Friday: “The industry has destroyed themselves. It’s no longer relevant because it puts out all of its product on a stupid phone. You’re going to put Lawrence of Arabia on that goddamned stupid son of a bitch? [Twitter and Facebook are] wonderful technical advances, but once people see how much it’s cluttering their life, they’ll figure it out for themselves. We’re not going to have human beings in 20 years. People won’t be talking to other human beings.” Happy Friday? [ Deadline ]
In this weekend’s Crazy, Stupid, Love (read Movieline’s review here), Julianne Moore plays Steve Carell’s bored wife whose office affair (and subsequent request for divorce) catapults her husband into Ryan Gosling’s impeccably toned arms for a man makeover and life overhaul. How did the North Carolina native evolve from playing a pair of conniving, clichéd half sisters on As the World Turns to one of the most reliably brilliant actresses in Hollywood?
Let’s be honest about one thing: You did not watch yesterday’s 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Ceremony. You might have tuned in if James Franco had been nominated for his scene-stealing arc on General Hospital and you would have at least TiVo’d the Las Vegas event had you known that host Regis Philbin would accidentally disprove David Copperfield’s entire career during the first 10 minutes of the telecast. But you did not, so relive the night’s most exciting and incriminating moment after the jump — and congratulate the newest Daytime Emmy winners while you’re at it.
