Here’s what I’ve gathered from the new Snow White and the Huntsman trailer: Charlize Theron ‘s Evil Queen is pissed, Kristen Stewart ‘s Snow White is innocent, and the color saturation of this fairytale world looks like a Crayola-dappled Middle Earth. Pretty spectacular.

Lars von Trier’s Melancholia is neither the provocation nor the yowl of anguish that his last picture, Antichrist , was. For those reasons, it’s less effective and also far less of a workout: Antichrist was the first von Trier movie I genuinely loved, after a decade’s worth of railing against the sufferdome atmosphere of pictures like Dogville , Dancer in the Dark , and even the mildly bearable Breaking the Waves . Antichrist stunned and upset me, but it also filled me with compassion toward the man who made it, a feeling I’d never imagined I could have. The gift of Antichrist — with its horrific depictions of emotional suffering, its wailing-wind subtext of “Nature is everywhere, inside you and outside, and it is not your friend” — was that von Trier had surprised me. That is a critic’s greatest pleasure — or at least it’s mine.

It’s been roughly 13 minutes since Eddie Murphy departed as Oscar host, and already we have a strong frontrunner to replace Brett Ratner’s comeback kid: The Muppets. Supporters rallied on Twitter for their consideration, and now an official “The Muppets Should Host the 2012 Oscars” campaign has been launched on Facebook . We offered up the idea of a Muppet-emceed Oscars in our possible host roundup yesterday, but would the reality of Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo at the dais be as enchanting as we want?

Some directors clearly have no filter and suffer for it; others choose to live altogether filter-less, playing the game their own way, on their own terms. Which is why earlier this year Movieline anointed Tarsem Singh ( The Cell, The Fall ) the honey badger of Hollywood ; an indie film talent recently gone mainstream — who wore a homemade shirt proclaiming “I’ve been media trained” at WonderCon — Tarsem’s infamously cheeky public persona might threaten to overtake his work if only his films, just three features to date counting this week’s Immortals , weren’t so distinctive and gorgeous.

“Oh, no. I’ve done that gig,” Robin Williams responded when asked by Moviefone this afternoon whether he would consider replacing Eddie Murphy as this year’s Oscar host. “Years ago I co-hosted with Alan Alda and Jane Fonda and I pretty much saw my career flash before me, before I started. So, it was like, ‘No…’ It’s a tough gig. It’s a weird night, man. It’s pretty thankless in terms of if you do great, if they say that you’re a little edgy, they say, ‘He’s cool.’ If you’re not, they’re going to go, ‘He’s timid.'” [ Moviefone ]

Unfortunately, Movieline could only choose three critics to gift with Blue Velvet: 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-rays. Click ahead for the victors.

Remember Oscar season 2010-11? Remember we had to keep caring about The Fighter ? I can’t believe how long we had to care about The Fighter . For me it was the Cold Mountain of 2011. The louder you squawked, the better your Oscar chances. Did you wave your hands frantically a lot of the time? Did you steal your accent from an SNL table read? See you at the dais. Anyway, I’m still sore with Mark Wahlberg, and I’m approaching the international trailer for his new movie Contraband with that rancor. It comes out in January, so it has to be laughable. Let’s laugh.

This week finally brings Melancholia to limited theatrical release in the US, where prospective viewers have spent the five months since its Cannes premiere attempting to parse the great , fraught , near-instant mythology of director Lars von Trier’s latest masterpiece. Finally the work can speak for itself — or mostly speak for itself, anyway, with help from co-star and modern-era von Trier muse Charlotte Gainsbourg.

AFI Fest ‘s “secret” screening of Steven Soderbergh ‘s Haywire wasn’t so much a showcase for the AFI darling as it was a coming out party for MMA bruiser-cum-action heroine Gina Carano, whom Soderbergh glimpsed fighting one night on TV and subsequently built a star-studded spy thriller pic around. But it’s hard to say if first-time actor Carano will branch out in a film career beyond the often lo-fi action experiment. Is she a hybrid of Angelina Jolie and Steven Seagal , as Soderbergh suggested Sunday night? Or is there more of a Cynthia Rothrock quality to Carano’s steely gaze and powerhouse physicality?

Ridiculously, obscenely short four-hour jail sentences notwithstanding, Lindsay Lohan ‘s legal woes have cost more than just her professional respectability and reputation; one expert guesstimates that the actress’s 20+ court appearances have wasted “millions” for the people of California. “It has likely cost taxpayers millions of dollars,” attorney Vikki Ziegler told Fox News. “It costs tens of thousands of dollars per court appearance for all the clerks, the security, and those court reporters who get paid by the page,” adds former federal prosecutor Michael Wildes. “Plus it diverts the administration of justice for other matters.” Truth . Besides, how can anyone get on processing Kim Kardashian’s divorce when LiLo keeps hogging the spotlight? [ FoxNews ]
