Anna Kendrick Tweets X-Rated Ryan Gosling Joke

This just in: Anna Kendrick finds Ryan Gosling really attractive. This also just in: Anna Kendrick is our new favorite actress. Following a viewing of Gangster Squad this week, the Pitch Perfect star made her feelings for Gosling very well-known, earning herself a new array of male fans in the process, when she Tweeted: Ugh – NEVER going to a Ryan Gosling movie in a theater again. Apparently masturbating in the back row is still considered ‘inappropriate.’ Well, yeah. Fred Willard could have told Kendrick that. Over 20,000 people have re-Tweeted Kendrick’s joke, meaning she really may be on to something. This Ryan Gosling guy isn’t half bad looking!

Amy Nicholson’s / Top 10 of 2012 / Written In Haiku

2012 was a ho-hum year for “serious” cinema. As proof, the Oscar race has narrowed to films like the chipper Argo and dreary Zero Dark Thirty — a chase so routine that the alternative is a Steven Spielberg period piece as wholesome and agreeable as enriched bread. But it was also a banner year for the films that we’ll still want to watch in 2022: Ambitious over-reachers ( Cloud Atlas , The Master , Les Miserables ), loony passion projects ( Killer Joe , Magic Mike , The Paperboy ), and perfect popcorn flicks ( Step Up 4 , The Expendables 2 , Premium Rush ). That last category is frequently left off top ten lists, but it deserves our applause. When studios get tired of risking $250 million on a single blockbuster (and audiences get tired of paying $14 just to keep up with water cooler conversation), mid-priced modest hits like Looper will be our collective salvation — and help build the next generation of filmmakers and stars. The films that made my Top Ten did so because they were bold, memorable and flawless (or at least two of the three). But of course, if critics can judge art, we should take our own creative risks. And so I’ve written my remarks in haiku. 1) DJANGO UNCHAINED Quentin ‘s bold bloodbath An unflinching masterpiece Sam Jackson kills it 2) LOOPER Two actors, one nose In a cornfield dodging fate But can it be done? 3) ANNA KARENINA Old, cold tragedy Blazes with heat and magic Goes ignored, alas 4) 21 JUMP STREET Is our kids learning? Channing Tatum ‘s agent is Let Sir Abs crack jokes 5) COMPLIANCE At minimum wage, A maximum need to please Few brave souls say no 6) PITCH PERFECT Queen Rebel Wilson Bow down before her glory Or sing if you must 7) HOLY MOTORS A quick change artist Speeds through ten lives not his own Who is he? Who cares 8) THE GREY Liam punched a wolf But what mattered was the gloom Snow and fate and death 9) SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS More like ten psychos Softened by dogs and bunnies But still murderous 10) THE PAPERBOY Sweaty, sexy Efron Plus a pervy director Give Kidman a prize Disagree with my picks? Say so in verse. Amy Nicholson is a critic, playwright and editor. Her interests include hot dogs, standard poodles, Bruce Willis, and comedies about the utter futility of existence.

9 Last Minute 2012 Movie Halloween Costumes For The Procrastinating Cinephile

You’re a procrastinator. You waited until the last moment to figure out your Halloween  costume, and now you need ideas, fast — preferably ones that will impress your fellow movie nerds. Fear not! Here are 9 easy-ish cinephile-ready costumes inspired by some of this year’s most memorable films… CLOUD ATLAS What do six interconnected characters in six time periods spanning from the 19th century Pacific to the future where Tom Hanks speaks the true-true have in common, despite wildly divergent costumes and fake noses and whatnot? THAT BIRTHMARK. Draw on your own Cloud Atlas comet mark of the Chosen One anywhere – your shoulder, the back of your head, your left butt cheek — and you’re set. The best part: You can literally look like anyone and it still works. Just whatever you do, do not attempt futuristic Asianface . PITCH PERFECT Here’s a group costume for you and 5-6 of your multi-culti friends: Dress campus casual and walk around in a pack all night singing pop songs  a cappella  and challenging random strangers to riff-offs while shouting Pitch Perfect -isms like “Aca-awesome!” SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS To channel Colin Farrell or any of his eccentric cast mates in Martin McDonagh ‘s madcap crime comedy, all you really need is one key accessory: A Shih Tzu. Carry the pooch around all night and you’re set. Bonus if you do it in a Christopher Walken accent . If you happen to resemble Tom Waits , a white bunny is a lot less costly to procure. THE MASTER Joaquin Phoenix ‘s hunched, feral Freddie Quell can be achieved with just the right attire, posture, and off-kilter touch of insanity. Start with a button-down shirt tucked into pants pulled up to an Ed Grimley-level and slouch your shoulders forward. Carry a few makeshift beakers and jars with you and wherever you go, mix a batch of your special potions from assorted household liquids while pacing and licking windows. And voila ! SKYFALL If you’re a dapper dan who happens to have a Tom Ford fitted suit pressed and hanging in the closet, Halloween’s a cinch: Dress to the nines, grab a Heineken, and spend the evening fixing your cufflink like a boss . PROMETHEUS Don’t have a futuristic space suit lying around the house? No worries, ladies. Strip down to a white bandeau bra and panties, spatter yourself with black creature goop and run around screaming as if there’s a giant space monster right behind you. Lug around a decapitated mannequin head for extra emphasis. You might be cold, but you’ll be the baddest lady in the universe. MAGIC MIKE Fellas can get in on the scantily-clad action too, although the women of the world may prefer it if you have Channing Tatum’s abs and sense of rhythm. Maybe a speedo-vest-cowboy hat combination, a la Matthew McConaughey? Or a g-string, for those who dare? Bring along a boombox and have Ginuwine’s “Pony” queued up. You might even make some cash in the process. THE COMEDY Don your trust-fund hipster polo and boat shoes and walk around making a joke of everything a la Tim Heidecker (of Tim and Eric fame) in the new pic The Comedy ; singing the infectious mantra “No no tip” will really tie the outfit together, although anyone who hasn’t yet seen the movie will just think you’re a giant douche. THE GREY Fish a dirty long-sleeved thermal out of the laundry, smear a few smudges of fake blood on your face, and tape broken minibar bottles to your fists and you’re prepped for action, Liam Neeson-style . Plus: You get to drink the contents of those minibar bottles first, and you’ll be ready for any wolves that may cross your path. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
