Matt Damon Defends Teachers, Tenure, Lashes Out at Reporter

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Matt Damon is a passionate actor, both on and off screen. At the Save Our Schools march in DC last weekend, the Oscar nominee was asked if fear over losing his job inspired him to be better at that job – an indirect way of criticizing the tenure system – and replied: “You think job insecurity is what makes me work hard? It’s not an incentive, I want to be an actor.” Watch his go off on the reporter and use many big words in this video: Matt Damon Defends Teachers

Steven Soderbergh Apparently Not Retiring After All

Posted on July 22, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This just in from the reportedly outgoing Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh, answering questions at Relativity Media’s panel at Comic-Con : “Matt Damon is apparently as discreet as a 14-year-old girl. I had this drunk conversation with him while shooting Contagion and four days later, I read about it in the paper. And he read it verbatim. Nobody in this economy wants to hear about someone quitting a good job. That kind of got blown out of proportion. And that’s Matt’s fault.” Aha! Cue “Blamin’ Damon” headlines in 3… 2… (And check out all of Movieline’s Comic-Con 2011 coverage here .)

Is True Blood Going To Turn Eric Northman Into A Wimp Like Buffy’s Spike?

Posted on March 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Peroxide blonde Spike started out as a malevolent force of nature on Buffy the Vampire Slayer , but by the end of its run, he had been whipped into a puppy doggish version of his former sadistic self. No longer was he a leather-jacketed badass who had killed two Slayers, he was just a misunderstood poet who was simply looking to be loved. Blech ! And now it seems like Eric Northman might be going down the same primrose path to redemption. Should we panic?

5 Simple Improvements That Could Have Changed The Adjustment Bureau From Good To Great

Posted on March 6, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s a pain to waste your time watching a bad movie, but how much more frustrating is it to watch an okay movie and realize how much better it might have been with just a couple tweaks here and there? The Adjustment Bureau was, as the President might say, likeable enough — an intriguing concept, congenial stars, and a cool look to the whole thing — but as Roger Ebert says , it’s “a smart and good movie that could have been a great one if it had a little more daring.” So what are the five easy ways that The Adjustment Bureau could go from DVD recommendation to a must-see-movie?

Return of the ‘Pack: The Teaser Trailer for The Hangover Part II Debuts with Help from Jay-Z

Posted on February 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When the trailer for Bruno debuted in 2009 , Universal tried to sell audiences on the critical love for Sacha Baron Cohen’s previous summer comedy, Borat . It didn’t work. Cut to 2011, and here comes Warner Bros. using a similar strategy in the first teaser for The Hangover Part II (it looks like those Roman numerals are part of the official title), which uses quotes about the first film to fill up much of the trailer’s length. Is this highly anticipated sequel doomed to face a Bruno -like box office fate?

VIDEO: ‘There is No QUARK on My BEND IT’ in Subtitled Version of True Grit

Posted on January 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As we noted , The Coen Brothers’ runaway Western-revenge hit True Grit contains some pretty interesting vocal tics. And yes, by “interesting,” we meant “completely incomprehensible.” Now, some folks at College Humor have added handy subtitles for a few of Jeff Bridges’ grunts and slurs. Or at least, they tried. Watch the video after the jump to learn about Bridges’ “occupied jinx,” his “quark” and his “bend it.” Here’s hoping for a DVD special feature that includes phonetic subtitles for the whole film.
