Save yourself some time and expense and rent the original "Stepfather" w/ Terry O'Quinn (Lost). It's pretty good and scary. I saw NY I Love you at the Filmfest and it sucked with the exception of Robin Wright Penn. #wherethewildthingsare

Shouldn't the fact that Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman wrote and directed two of the "New York, I Love You" segments be a greater Cause for Concern? Anyway, the powerful suck comes across loud and clear even in the Spanish-dubbed trailer.

I love how they chose to relocate the premise of the original ("Paris, Je T'Aime"), which for the most part registered as a series of after-hours commercials paid for by the French Board of Tourism. Well, except for the Alexander Payne segment. Which was genius: #wherethewildthingsare

Having only seen still pictures, I honestly thought "Stepfather" had Penn Badgely as a young man who marries a cougar and becomes a stepfather. Now, I find out it's just another teenage boy who is mad at his mom for having a boyfriend. Oh well.

As for "Law Abiding Citizen" . . . there is no court of law in the U.S. that, if they have evidence, would allow a killer of a child to go free or make any sort of agreement with him. Maybe I'm not understand the premise of this movie. And, besides that, Gerald looks blotted and Jamie looks nasty!! He really needs to do something about those black lips; perhaps stop smoking!!

I think "Wild Things" will be an initial hit but will fade badly once parents find out how dark and depressing it is.

In other words, nothing to see this weekend. Perhaps later in the year there will be some good movies out. #wherethewildthingsare

@mslewis: "Law Abiding Citizen" (Subtitle: "Can I Get a Hyphen for $400, Please?") sounds like it could turn into a fun drinking game once it comes out on DVD. Whiskey shots all around every time something absurdly implausible comes up on screen!

That's been the sole appeal of "Angels & Demons" for me. Scientists at CERN wear white lab coats? Drink! "Antimatter bomb" could actually explode and obliterate the world? Drink! You can rip a page from a priceless 15th-century manuscript stored at the Vatican Library and walk right out the door? Drink!

Another cause for hope regarding Wild Things: Denise Richards and Neve Campbell totally make out in the pool! #wherethewildthingsare

OK - I understand about poetic license, but..

The fellow says that he got a call from a clerk at an airline, who threatened to call the police if he didn't return to the airport immediately. He doesn't say whether or not he returned the bag, but implies that he didn't because he then claims the clerk went home and told her son about him, who said something to somebody on the internet.

Or did he mean that the clerk called him, then revealed his name against company policy to whomever's bag he stole, when he wouldn't make arrangements to switch bags - don't airlines have contractors who do that - and then the victim recognized his name, remembered it and told her son, who might've have read a credit on an eleven year old movie?

I don't know that he's totally delusional.
He also sounds rather dumb to me.

You have to forgive Brett. He often misinterprets not just tweets but all kinds of words, like the way he imagines his X-Men movie was "entertaining" or his Rush Hour films were "funny." Just try explaining "hack" to him--his expression is like a bloated version of Nipper, the RCA dog! It would be amusing if it wasn't so sad.

Went to a party at Brett Ratner's house above Sunset Blvd. in spring '08. Didn't witness him pinching anyone's butt, but there was an odd preponderance of moddle types and Guido-type douches in attendance. His bathroom was tastefully decorated. I started having a good time once I retreated away from the party nexus into the pool cabana, and focused on chowing down tuna tartare and chugging Champagne. I didn't witness any debauchery. That's all I've got. Thank you for being a gracious host, Brett!

He gets significant blame for the horrible, asinine schlock that was X-Men: The Last Stand Everyone Dies Because Why Freaking Not I Already Have Your Money

So I'm going to put him on the shelf right next to Kevin Smith. Neither are allowed to speak until they have one good new idea post 1997.

You took that statement ENTIRELY out of context. Kristen wasn't complaining during that interview. She did not say "Twilight killed my social life and that made me boring". If you look at ACTUAL interview she was merely stating how every conversation she has nowadays always starts with Twilight. And she feels THAT is what makes her boring, not her lack of social life. She also states that she never had much of a social life in the first place, which just means she isnt one of those die hard party celebs like paris hilton!
If you guys want to read this crap, maybe you should go straight to the source instead of trusting these guys to give you a whole load of crap they think people want to hear.
Kristen is a talented actress who is unique in that she isnt like her hollywood counterparts telling interviewers what they want to hear. She is honest and upfront and that is to be admired, not scorned at.

@ShipraIshaclunk: Dear Disarmingly Earnest Twilight Fan: I don't read most of the gossip items I go through here. I interpret them. These are interpretations. It's celebrity gossip. And anybody who honestly gives a shit about these things should get fucked in the ear until their brain is poked into feeling otherwise. Regards, Me.

Listen, sweetcheeks: you get the sparkly vampire boyfriend, you gotta make sacrifices. Like your safety from cannibalistic 8th graders who wouldn't think once before sucking the bone marrow out of you in the middle of a Hot Topic without so much as a spork in sight were you to show up sans-protection.

This is really, really good. That is all.

I'd be satisfied with boring, if I were her. The other alternative is death by Twihard.

Thanks for the cock-heavy report, Came-r! You obviously aim to please!

Also, I'm pretty sure Kristen Stewart has always been boring.

@RheaPollstry: Amen, my brother (or sister). I just saw Adventureland and every time Ms. Stewart showed up on-screen it was like being put on a morphine drip.
