Please cherish this moment of blue-rare glamor, because I’ve seen nothing like it in my life: Actor Roddy McDowall’s home video collection was released to the public, and in one amazingly decadent vacation reel from 1965, the Planet of the Apes celeb cavorts with some of the biggest movie stars of all time. Is that Judy Garland in sky blue patio-wear? Sure is. Is that a Cat Ballou -era Jane Fonda? Indeed. Is that David O. Selznick, Natalie Wood, Julie Andrews, Paul Newman, Anthony Perkins, Rock Hudson and many, many more ? Sigh! Yes!

Exclusive: Natalie Portman Gets Goofy in Outtakes from Hesher

Spencer Susser’s intense indie drama Hesher features a fair amount of extreme angst — embodied by the charismatic Joseph Gordon-Levitt , tattooed and grimy like you’ve never seen him before — but plenty of fun was had behind the scenes, if Movieline’s exclusive outtake reel is any indication. After the jump, watch a sweetly dorky Natalie Portman goof of between scenes with her young co-star Devin Brochu in a special feature from the forthcoming DVD /Blu-ray release.

Which Woman Directed the Highest-Grossing Female-Helmed Movie to Date?

Madonna may have set female directors back a few decades with W.E. , her Venice Film Festival premiere that has been deemed “comically bad,” “silly” and pretty much all-around awful. Fear not though, ladies: There is another female filmmaker who is making giant strides for her gender at the box office. In fact, her film crossed the $650 million mark worldwide recently, making her the director with the highest-grossing film among female helmers. Can you guess the new record holder?

Brett Ratner Apologizes For Tower Heist Joke

After former Heroes co-star Greg Grunberg, who has an epileptic son, tweeted his outrage over a joke in the recent Tower Heist trailer referring to Ben Stiller as “little seizure boy,” director Brett Ratner issued an apology and has reportedly asked Universal to alter the film’s marketing. Grunberg tweeted his thanks and lifted “my personal boycott of ur hilarious film.” No truth to the rumor Grunberg attempted to leverage his grudge in pursuit of Oscar-hosting duties , though presenting is probably not out of the question.

Je Veux Parody: Gérard Depardieu Spoofs Plane Peeing Incident in New Video

Gérard Depardieu may not have the bladder control he used to , but at least his sense of humor is as intact as ever. The French screen legend appears in a new parody video with his Asterix and Obelix: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service co-star Edouard Baer, featuring the duo in character as the famous comic-book Gauls and Depardieu battling valiantly for lavatory privileges. It’s all in French, but hey. Having to pee is a universal language all its own.

Postcard from Venice: Tinker, Tailor Is a Rich, Muted Delight; Solondz’s Dark Horse Is Charmless

I’m not sure about the other European critics, but so far the U.K. critics here seem to love one picture above all others: Tomas Alfredson’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy , an adaptation of John Le Carré’s 1974 novel, stars Gary Oldman as George Smiley, the deposed British spy who must find the mole who’s compromising MI6 — or “the circus” — in order to put the organization, and his life, back together. In addition to being based on an enormously popular book, Alfredson’s picture is also haunted by a ghost: The 1979 TV mini-series, which featured Alec Guinness in the George Smiley role. Who’d want to try to top that?
