Billy Crystal Ready to Return as Oscars Host
CGI Hope. I love it. :)— August 16, 2011 12:35 p.m.
Billy Crystal Ready to Return as Oscars Host
Get Kevin Smith to host it. He'll come out on stage wearing his hockey jersey, shorts and sneakers and make jokes about d*cks, farts and "Cop Out".— August 16, 2011 9:16 a.m.
Oprah Winfrey to Receive Oscar's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award
She's getting the award, obviously, because she was instrumental to getting "Precious" theatrical distribution. Next year, it'll be Tyler Perry's turn.— August 4, 2011 5:33 p.m.
Apes on the Brain
Isn't this more of a remake of "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" than the original?— August 3, 2011 7:38 p.m.
$20 Million Persuades Jennifer Lopez to Stick With American Idol
Once "The X Factor" goes on the air, "American Idol" will be finished. I watched for the same reason you did, Simon. I did not care about any of the musical acts save maybe a couple. But in the last couple of years, it has grown boring and repetitive. My guilty pleasure is "America's Got Talent" judged by two Brits and a Canadian. It's a very weird variety show, with bizarre acts not seen on network TV since the days of "The Gong Show". While Nick Cannon is no Chuck Barris (who else could be?) and Sharon Osbourne is no Jaye P. Morgan, it's still much more entertaining that "Idle" or "So You Think You Can Dance" or any of the other nine zillion competition reality shows.— August 2, 2011 9:34 a.m.
Dig A Hole: Polly Platt, Production Designer, Producer, and Screenwriter
Hmmm, OK, point well taken. Bogdanovich had a huge slump in quality during his "Cybill Shepherd" phase. But once he started dating Dorothy Stratten, he made "Saint Jack" and "They All Laughed", which are very underrated films that more people should see. (And I kinda liked "Nickelodeon", too, although it is kind of a guilty pleasure.) I am thinking, perhaps, that the quality of his film output was directly proportional to the quality of the women he was seeing.— July 30, 2011 9:50 a.m.
Dig A Hole: Polly Platt, Production Designer, Producer, and Screenwriter
This is very sad. I didn't know this until now. I credit Ms. Platt for all of Bogdanovich's successes. With her, "Targets", "The Last Picture Show", "What's Up, Doc" and "Paper Moon". Without her, "Daisy Miller", "At Long Last Love" and "Nickelodeon". Coincidence? I think not. RIP Ms. Platt.— July 29, 2011 3:48 p.m.
DVD Review: The Music Man (1962)
"We got trouble/ Right here in River City/ With a Capital T and that rhymes with C and that stands for Crap."— July 21, 2011 6:43 p.m.
