Parks and Recreation’s Chris Pratt on the Hilarious Third Season and the Surprise of Rob Lowe

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It was good to be an American last week. After all, not only did Parks and Recreation return to NBC after eight months on the shelf, but people actually watched — the season three premiere was Parks and Recreation ‘s highest rated episode yet. That was great news for everyone, but especially Chris Pratt. As you may have noticed, the premiere featured an extended “previously on” clip package to open the show, highlighting the unrequited love between Pratt’s Andy and Aubrey Plaza’s April. He’s rapidly becoming Pawnee’s answer to Jim Halpert, with 100 percent more flannel.

Jon Favreau Did Not Write the State of the Union Address

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

How about Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last night? Wasn’t it — um, muted? Yeah, it was. Still, that probably had more to do with the state of the country and the recent shootings in Arizona — plus the awkward bipartisan seating arrangement — than anything else. As such, let’s give it up to Jon Favreau for making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what! Not that Jon Favreau. “Thanks for all the congratulations,” the Cowboys & Aliens director wrote on Twitter. “But I didn’t write the State of the Union address.” No truth to the rumor that Political Favreau — the president’s speech writer — walks around the White House talking about how he’s BFF with Robert Downey Jr. [ @Jon_Favreau ]

Director Lucky McKee Responds to His Irate Sundance Hater: ‘Then Don’t Watch It!’

Posted on January 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When Lucky McKee’s Sundance horror entry The Woman premiered in Park City and promptly elicited walkouts, a panic injury, and one irate moviegoer’s infamous YouTubed rant, some — okay, Movieline — wondered if it was all a stunt . (For a personal retelling of the shouting match that followed, read Drew McWeeny’s firsthand account .) To set the record straight, Movieline went straight to the source for McKee’s version of what went down when the credits started rolling.

The Social Network’s Michael De Luca: ‘We’ve Kind of Thought of Ourselves as an Underdog from the Beginning’

Posted on January 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

With eight nominations , perhaps The Social Network isn’t the slam dunk runaway Best Picture favorite everyone thought it was, but that doesn’t mean producer Michael De Luca ( Boogie Nights , Magnolia ) is disappointed with what transpired this morning. In fact, trailing The King’s Speech and True Grit in total noms just plays into Team Social Network ‘s wheelhouse.

Today, John Powell, who has written the score for movies as diverse as The Bourne Ultimatum and Horton Hears a Who (and, yes, Gigli ), received his first Academy Award nomination today for Best Original Score for his work on How to Train Your Dragon . Needless to say, it’s been a long, strange road — one that Movieline revisited with Powell after he received today’s good news.

Last year at this time, journalist Sebastian Junger and war photographer Tim Hetherington were on their way to seeing Restrepo win Best Documentary from the jury at Sundance.

Team Jacki Update: We Need a Battle Cry. Any Suggestions?

Posted on January 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Longtime proponents of Animal Kingdom co-star Jacki Weaver were thrilled this morning to hear their hero’s name announced among this year’s five Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominees. And the Australian legend’s warm if brief response has just come over the transom at Team Jacki HQ: “I’m elated to the point of euphoria. I feel like I’m in a walking dream. I’m so relieved that all those millions of Australians that wanted me to get this nomination aren’t disappointed. Happy Australia Day.” Aw! To you as well, Ms. Weaver. That said, this got serious today — and we need more than press statements. We need a slogan; we need a battle cry .
