question of the day: Can a Hollywood insider be a fair film critic?
I was stunned to learn this weekend that VanityFair.com has hired actor and filmmaker Paul Mazurksy to be its new film critic. WTF?

question of the day: Will Americans accept the new Al Jazeera children’s channel?
Will parents let their kids watch? Will kids want to watch? (That’s excluding Arab-American parents and kids, who represent only a tiny minority of the America population, and won’t be enough to let such a channel survive.)
question of the day: What is the worst movie title ever?
I don’t think Blubberella, offensive as it is, can come close to being as awful as Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, Gigli, Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter, or Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever.
question of the day: Is ‘Catfish’s “don’t talk about the film” marketing campaign brilliant or annoying?
Perhaps the best time to talk about a marketing campaign for a film is before everyone has seen it: this way, the discussion of the film itself cannot get in the way.
