Jennifer Aniston Uses Patented Demi Moore Boy Toy
Magnet: The Bikini [Hanky Panky]

post from Defamer on 12 May 2008 05:55:00 PM. © Defamer

Are Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer the new Demi and Ashton? After seeing these new photos taken in Miami while Jen continues filming Marley & Me, we?re noticing several similarities between her new fling with the tattooed O-face master and the queen and prince of age-gap relationship success stories. Like Ashton was, John is a young, charming, bed-hopping bachelor, and just like Demi, Jennifer is an insanely hot divorced actress far more famous than her beau. The icing on the cougar cake? Just like the Moore-Kutchers, it all started with a bikini:

In one of the most memorable comebacks in celebrity history, Demi and her new bikini body leaped onto the screen in the Charlie's Angels sequel, rousing a collective "Yowza!" heard and seen 'round the world (and, most likely, in Ashton Kutcher's drawers). And while Jennifer was definitely adorable throughout all her many "looks" on Friends, from The Rachel to The Bob, and even The Post-Divorce Weight Loss stage, we've never seen her look better than she does now. And thanks to an itty bitty pink bikini, showcasing Bond Girl tits (reminiscent of the fembots in Austin Powers), that tan, that hair, she's pulled off the same tactic perfectly. For the first time in our lives, we're actually thinking the previously unthinkable phrase, "What was Brad thinking?"

The Piano (1993)

post from Film Experience Blog on 12 May 2008 05:45:00 PM. © Film Experience Blog

A Reader Request (long time in coming --my apologies Scott!)
#9 Personal Canon: The Movies I Think About When I Think About the Movies

The menu on the 1999 DVD edition of The Piano is a hideously misleading photoshop tragedy. It?s garish, poorly composed and off putting. I won't even reprint it here to illustrate my point. It's too horrifying. I dare say I?ve never seen a poorer match between a menu and the film that follows. It?s the last less than exquisite image one will see once ?play movie? is selected. If you?ve never seen the film before and you (like me) have been burdened with the unwitting purchase or rental of this particular edition, press the buttons quickly.

On to the beauty! There's so much of it...

Like mother, like daughter (Anna Paquin & Holly Hunter in The Piano)

I saw The Piano in Salt Lake City in November 1993 and I?ve never forgotten the experience. The movie held me in rapt attention from its first stirring images and Holly Hunter's high pitched but quiet delivery of one of the greatest opening monologues I'd ever heard

The voice you're hearing is not my speaking voice but my mind's voice...

I remember my best girlfriend?s hand gripping my arm during the most brutal sequence late in the movie. She was so upset she nearly bolted from her seat. I vividly remember exiting the theater after the credits rolled, both of us in a daze. We knew we?d seen something great but what exactly had we seen? Watching The Piano for the first time can feel like confronting a gorgeous but alien presence. It?s utterly transporting but also unfamiliar. Your rational mind will tell you that this shouldn?t be the case. But deeply sensual films are uncommon. What?s more, films shot through with feminine mystique, energies and point of view are arguably the rarest forms of cinema. The Piano stood womanly and defiant and far removed from other films that came before it and sadly, perhaps, has remained a foreign thing. It's still a rarity.

Jane Campion?s masterpiece, with its eerily beautiful New Zealand landscapes (before Lord of the Rings popularized the place for Hollywood) and bold femininity, felt otherworldly in 1993 but like all truly great art, it proved unusually accessible despite the challenging gauntlet it threw down. It was a major arthouse and critical success, loved by both the intelligentsia and the more middlebrow Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Before it closed its run it had won eight Oscar nominations, three statues, a sizeable box office gross for the time and a passionate enduring following.

The film begins with a curiously fuzzy image. The next cut reveals it as a POV shot: we?re looking through the fingers of Ada McGraw (Holly Hunter) who is partially covering her eyes... from what we?re not sure. The camera doesn't stay subservient to Ada's point of view but rather begins to study her, this curious mute creature. Hunter's fascinating performance, incongruously both stony and expressive, demands it...

READ THE REST...
Return and discuss if you have something to say.

Ex-'SNL' Star Finds Career Resuscitation As
Viable Late Night Jimmy-Alternative [Five Nights A Week Until You Die]

post from Defamer on 12 May 2008 05:35:00 PM. © Defamer

Confirming rumors that his appointment as Conan O'Brien's Late Night successor was a "done deal," a press event at 30 Rock today presided over by dark SNL overlord Lorne Michaels, NBC rock star Ben Silverman, and badly-in-need-of-a-distinguishing-nickname Marc Graboff, made official their intention to hand over the 12:30 a.m. programming block to one Jimmy Fallon. Goodbye, Masturbating Bear and Pimpbot 5000, hello, masturbating Barry Gibb and '80s radio hits set to "You Can't Touch This." From The Observer:

The crowd had just sat through a three-minute highlight reel of Mr. Fallon's SNL career, featuring "some of the most memorable characters in the history of Saturday Night Live," according to Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman of NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios. (NBC's President and CEO, Jeff Zucker, was present, but did not speak.) [...]

The clip reel was heavy in impersonations of people like Pat O'Brien, Howard Stern, Larry King, and Jerry Seinfeld. The journalists sat mostly stone-faced (a bad sign), except when Fallon appeared as himself (a good sign), interviewing Paris Hilton and offering one-liners as part of 'Weekend Update' alongside Tina Fey. [...]
Mr. Fallon claimed his kindergarten yearbook featured his photo above the caption "Most Likely to Take Over David Letterman." (Someone in the crowd, possibly auditioning to be Mr. Fallon's sidekick, let out an audible "Wow" at this point.) When asked what kindergarten had yearbooks, much less ones with references to David Letterman, Mr. Fallon joked, "It's a magical kindergarten. It's taught by a unicorn, a talking unicorn." Getting serious, he said, it was St. Mary of the Snow School in Saugerties, NY. A quick call to the school and a chat with Principal Christine Molinelli (who was not principal when Mr. Fallon was a student) didn't turn up the Letterman line from his kindergarten year (at that age, students appear in class photos only, according to Principal Molinelli), but his eighth grade yearbook photo from 1988 featured the line "Future Goal: To be an Entertainer."

Whether Fallon's prophetic kindergarten yearbook caption was perhaps embellished over the years seems utterly beside the fact, for who can bother getting bogged down in pre-elementary Most Likely To minutia when, as soon as next year, we'll have two late-late-night Jimmy talk show options. If ABC's Ben Affleck-fucker isn't to your liking, you'll have NBC's far-more-eager-to-please, delightfully brogue-free Jimmy offering.

I Give One Big Thumbs Up To 'Margot At The
Wedding' [A Call To The Bullpen]

post from Defamer on 12 May 2008 05:20:00 PM. © Defamer

boomp3.com

Scandalicous pop star/actress Miley Cyrus emerged from her self imposed exile following the Vanity Fair photo incident with a film recommendation for the paparazzi. Cyrus said of all the DVDs she watched during her time off, she enjoyed Nicole Kidman's performance in Margot At The Wedding the most. She enjoyed it so much, in fact, that she decided to purchase a similar hat to the one Kidman's character wears on the box cover. Cyrus said the film made her current problems seem so insignificant compared the nightmare it must be to live with those characters. Cyrus added if that she had to live those people, she'd probably never ever take her clothes off, even if it's under the false assumption of being art. Cyrus said, "These clothes are staying on for a while, just don't put me in a room with Nicole Kidman."

MGM Lion Throws Up in its Mouth as Studio
Announces 'Hot Tub Time Machine' [The End Of Ideas]

It was only a matter of time before Cale Boyter, MGM's recently added executive VP of production, joined Mary Parent in aggressively reestablishing the studio as the roaring monolith the world has long prized. Indeed, Boyter's first announced project is a bold step away from Valkyrie and other debacles threatening the mantle of The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, 2001: A Space Odyssey and others. Or, in short, Hot Tub Time Machine:

Hot Tub follows a group of guys, adults who used to be cads back in their heyday, who, after a night of vodka and Red Bulls in a hot tub, travel back in time and set out to rediscover their "mojo."

"We're always looking for ways to stand out from the rest of the pack in today's crowded marketplace, and what better way than to combine hot tub debauchery and the complications of time travel," said [Boyter], who will oversee the project along with the company's Becky Sloviter.

Even as we admire Boyter's sense of humor, we weep for the millions of dollars that he and Sloviter — in her lone contribution to the film's "oversight" — will take turns lighting on fire and flushing down toilets at an MGM soundstage over the six-week shoot. Moreover, as much as we want to trust Boyter and the script by newcomer Josh Heald, no amount of vision can ever redeem "Red Bull" as a plot point. The marketplace isn't that crowded.
