Jerry Lewis Takes the Temperature of Hollywood, Humanity

Hollywood veteran Jerry Lewis dropped this bit of real talk on assembled television journalists during the Encore portion of the TCA press tour on Friday: “The industry has destroyed themselves. It’s no longer relevant because it puts out all of its product on a stupid phone. You’re going to put Lawrence of Arabia on that goddamned stupid son of a bitch? [Twitter and Facebook are] wonderful technical advances, but once people see how much it’s cluttering their life, they’ll figure it out for themselves. We’re not going to have human beings in 20 years. People won’t be talking to other human beings.” Happy Friday? [ Deadline ]

REVIEW: Flailing Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson Can’t Rescue The Guard

For those weary of parsing which part of the post- Dirty Harry , post-Tarantino cops and robbers homage is demonstrating its fondness for the genre and which is just declaring it, writer and director John Michael McDonagh’s The Guard is more exhausting than entertaining. Ideally one would have better things to do while in the act of watching a movie — like say watching the movie — but from its assaultive, nihilistic prologue to its last flat invocation of American culture, The Guard foregrounds the extent to which it is leaning on artifice and affect to get over.

According to Wilde, she’s considering taking the title role in Lovelace , helmed by Oscar-winning codirectors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. “It would be a tremendous honor,” she said to E! . “She was a fascinating woman–with where she came from to Deep Throat to then working with Gloria Steinem and Nora Ephron.
