Ellen DeGeneres
the best selfie ever: Ellen DeGeneres and Bradley Cooper (and celebrity photobombers) at the Oscars
We see a lot of insincerity at events like the Oscars, but everyone in this photo looks like they’re genuinely having a good time.
George Lucas says Greedo always shot first (and other adventures in social networking)
What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
question of the day: Was Universal right to cut the gay joke from its trailer for ‘The Dilemma’?
I don’t want comedians not to be offensive: I want them not to be stupid when they give offense. I want them to give offense, if that’s what they’re going to do, for a reason. Universal wouldn’t have had to cut the joke if it were defensible in any way. But it isn’t.
Finding Nemo (review)
*Finding Nemo* is stunningly exquisite, an extraordinary leap forward in artistry for Pixar, and for computer animation in general, bringing a strange and alien world to life, so real you could almost reach out and touch it, knowing that it would be wet if you did. Truly, *Nemo* is an immersive experience. But only visually. Because the moment all the gorgeously rendered inhabitants of this beautiful undersea realm open their mouths, they sound surprisingly, and rather depressingly, human.
The Love Letter (review)
Like a New England version of Northern Exposure, The Love Letter is full of intriguingly offbeat characters — from the nosy postmistress to the suspicious cop to Helen’s dotty grandmother (Titanic’s Gloria Stuart) to Miss Scattergoods (Geraldine McEwan), who works at the local historical society — with their own romantic secrets. Unsentimental and wonderfully modest, The Love Letter is that rare pleasure: a prickly yet succulent romantic comedy.
