Ralph Fiennes Hates Twitter, Is Kinda Right

Posted on October 28, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ralph Fiennes, honored at the BFI London Film Festival awards for his directorial debut — the Shakespeare adaptation Coriolanus — does not think in sound bites of 140 words or less. ‘We’re in a world of truncated sentences, soundbites and Twitter… [Language] is being eroded — it’s changing. Our expressiveness and our ease with some words is being diluted so that the sentence with more than one clause is a problem for us, and the word of more than two syllables is a problem for us.” So hey, kids — go see Coriolanus next January and expand your (five syllables!) vo-ca-bu-la-ry!

Posted on October 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Steven Spielberg may have hated George Lucas ‘s addition of aliens into Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls , but the much-loathed refrigerator scene? All him. “What people really jumped at was Indy climbing into a refrigerator and getting blown into the sky by an atom-bomb blast. Blame me. Don’t blame George. That was my silly idea. People stopped saying ‘jump the shark.’ They now say, ‘nuked the fridge.’ I’m proud of that. I’m glad I was able to bring that into popular culture.” See here, fellas: No one gets away clean.

The Only Matthew Lillard Interview You’ll Ever Need

Posted on October 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“Nobody makes a Scooby-Doo 2 and goes, ‘Oh, we’re going to make a…’ And I don’t think Scooby-Doo 2 is a bad movie; I think Scooby-Doo 2 is exactly what it’s supposed to be for exactly the audience. It’s just that people who are tastemakers are like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to deal with the kid who was in that movie.’ Now, I’m the same guy who was in SLC Punk and I’m the same guy who was in Dead Man’s Curve and every other independent movie in the world. But, you know, it’s just that thing where it’s like somehow, someway, you get kind of labeled this guy who was in a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie too many. And Freddie Prinze Jr. — it’s not his fault, either — it’s just these are the things that happen.” [ Moviefone ]

The Best Director Feud That Never Was

Posted on October 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Looper director Rian Johnson would have you believe he sought to bury the hatchet in a putative feud with Jason Reitman. The results are… vivid! “Just before sunrise I found Jason in a half shattered bathtub in a park outside of town. He was eating pork rinds and had obviously been crying and had carved what looked like a Golden Globe out of soap. He was in a dark place.” [ @rcjohnso via /film ]

About That Time Woody Allen Joked About Pederasty To the New York Times

Posted on October 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Woody Allen may have lost his knack for titling his films , but he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. In a recent New York Times interview conducted by Elaine May, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter asked Allen to reveal something “startling” about himself that he had never shared publicly. Allen deadpanned, “I’m wanted for pederasty in Mongolia.” Other revelations? “I am already more than sufficiently attractive. Of course the actual impact of my physique might not be apparent to the naked eye at first glance, but with some laser surgery or perhaps corneal transplants the viewer will be amply rewarded.” [ NYT ]

Harry Potter Star Charged With Possession of Bomb

Posted on October 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Jamie Waylett, the 22-year-old actor who played Crabbe the bully in the Harry Potter films, was arrested last month after stealing champagne from a U.K. drug store during the London riots while in possession of a gasoline bomb. After reviewing security footage, cops identified Waylett and arrested him on September 20, at which point authorities discovered 15 marijuana plants in his home. The actor has been charged with “violent disorder, having an article with intent to destroy or damage property, receiving stolen goods and also cultivating cannabis plants,” which makes that Twilight kid’s Four Loko incident seem like child’s play.

Kristen Stewart’s Snow White and the Huntsman Sounds Increasingly Badass

Posted on October 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“Basically, I’m fighting evil — I’m fighting the most evil motherf–kers — and it’s fine that they’re being killed,” Kristen Stewart told Box Office Magazine of her currently-filming Snow White and the Huntsman . “It’s anguish. It’s literally f–king anguish. She takes absolutely no pleasure in ever hurting anything. I’m exhausted right now and I was thinking, ‘The fight stuff is coming up, maybe that won’t be so bad.’ And then I realized that they’re probably going to be my most emotional scenes because I’m killing people and I’m Snow White. It’s a really f–king cool way to approach a movie where so many people die.” Score another badass point in favor of SWATH . Sorry, other Snow White movie . [ Box Office Magazine ]

Oscar Predictions: Even Harvey Weinstein Is a Sucker For George Clooney

Posted on October 5, 2011 by | Leave a comment

“I love George Clooney’s movie, The Ides of March ,” Harvey Weinstein raved recently when asked for an Academy Award prediction. “I love politics, and this movie is the best political movie — it’s gotta be right up there with the best of the best. Seriously, it is the toughest, most incisive, no-bullshit movie I’ve seen this year. And [Ryan] Gosling hits it out of the ballpark. And the entire cast is great. Clooney just nailed it. It’s an appropriate movie for these times. So Oscar prediction? That that gets nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. And it’s not mine.” [ Vulture ]
