Watch Jesse Eisenberg Turn On That Mark Zuckerberg Charm in Sabotaged PSA

The proprietors at the Alamo Drafthouse — a theater where texting/talking during a screening is considered grounds for decapitation — asked Jesse Eisenberg how he feels about loud patrons at the cineplex. You’d think Eisenberg would roll with the idea and complain about such whippersnappers, but instead he rebelled and claimed that talking during movies helps build community. Oh, Jesse. Your weird social skills are the ultimate cinematic treat.

Should James Franco Get Top Billing in Rise of the Planet of the Apes?

Since the first trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes debuted online three months ago one thing about the film stood out. Not that apes can apparently defeat an army of riot police and helicopters by merely jumping around, but that James Franco was tasked as the film’s lead. “We it call the cure for Alzheimer’s,” he intones with a super-serious acting voice. Sounds good, believable scientist! Of course, maybe that’s the trick of Rise of the Planet of the Apes ; Franco is but merely impeccably tailored set dressing hiding the real star of the show: Andy Serkis.

Transformers Producers Want to Make a Live-Action Captain Planet Movie

Captain Planet and the Planeteers , among the cheesiest children’s properties that the ’90s birthed, was a cartoon very earnestly devoted to encouraging environmental awareness among youngsters built around the multi-colored titular superhero. Now, thanks to the folks who brought us Transformers , that mulleted, blue-skinned emblem of early-’90s morning TV will be updated with a live-action film. Has retro rebirthing gone too far?

Emma Watson Allegedly Meets Her Gay XXX Alterego

And now, some Harry Potter news that will refresh even the weariest of Muggles — and probably outrage conservatives even more : Emma Watson met the oiled-up mensch who plays “Himmione Grainghim” in the gay pornographic motion picture Whorrey Potter and the Sorcerer’s Balls . When she found out who he was, it reportedly “made her night.” If true, I dance at her nerve. Go, you vagabond child star, go! Plus, the picture is soulfully edifying.

VIDEO: Everything You Wanted to Know About Wes Anderson’s Royal Tenenbaums House

If you still find yourself wondering about the majestic brownstone Wes Anderson used as the setting of his 2001 film Royal Tenenbaums , you’re in luck. As part of its online film travel series “Pop Pilgrims”, the A.V. Club visited the New York City spot, and spoke to the movie’s location scout Will Sweeney about how the house inspired Anderson’s Oscar-nominated script, why it required a dramatic remodeling, and why the roof was perfect for Anderson’s (short-lived) fascination with falconry.

Shia LaBeouf to Team Up With Robert Redford in The Company You Keep

Variety has it that Shia LaBeouf, who may or may not be the new Michael J. Fox , is set to co-star with Robert Redford in The Company You Keep , a political action thriller adapted from Neil Gordon’s novel that Redford will direct. LaBeouf will play a young journalist out to expose an ex-Weather Underground radical in hiding (Redford) and make a name for himself. If this combines the journalistic cred of All the President’s Men and the sinister air of Disturbia , I’ll be pleased. Hopefully it doesn’t combine the length of Out of Africa with the senselessness of Eagle Eye . [ Variety ]
