More Meta Mayhem in the New ‘Scream 4’ Trailer

Revel in the fast-paced, action-packed, self-referential Scream -iness of the new Scream 4 trailer that just hit the web and forget about all the dramarama behind the scenes.

DVD: Are We Allowed to Call Broadcast News a Classic Yet?

While Network is the movie that prophesied the future of corporate-controlled TV news, James L. Brooks’ 1987 Broadcast News was more zeitgeist-y. The shift toward happy-talk infotainment had been going on long enough that Brooks had satirized it in the 1970s on The Mary Tyler Moore Show , but the battle against what Holly Hunter’s character calls “the historic influence of Entertainment Tonight ” had not been so roundly lost as it is now.

But I can’t remember the last time a season of SNL has seemed so energized by a group of new cast members — when they’re actually allowed on air. This past weekend, the featured players pretty much took over the last half of the show, and it may have been the best continuous half-hour stretch of the season to date.

So, Talia Shire, will there be a fourth Godfather film coming to theaters in the near future? “I doubt it,” she said on Thursday night at The New York Times ‘ Film Club event in Los Angeles. “It makes me sad; we are not making great movies anymore.” Dammit! That movie that isn’t real that no one even imagined would happen isn’t going to happen? Way to put a black cloud on my weekend. Nino Rota, take us out . [ THR ]
