Warner Bros. pushes 'Gangster Squad' to 2013

Wednesday, 25 July 2012 0 comment


FIRST-LOOK-GANGSTER-SQUADThe July 20 shooting spree at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colo., seems ultimately to have had a relatively modest impact on the release of the superhero blockbuster, at least in terms of its box-office performance. But it has thrown a major wrench into Warner Bros.’ plans for another

New NBC sitcoms: Pitting 'broad' comedy against 'sophisticated' comedy is the wrong approach

0 comment


Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, said to the country’s critics at the Television Critics Association’s press tour In Los Angeles that while he respects sitcoms on his network such as Community, 30 Rock,and Parks and Recreation — shows that are, as he said, “sophisticated” ones that “critics love,” his plan for the fall involves “broadening the audience.” The idea that the way to reach a broad audience is by going less sophisticated is an odd one, and one that suggests a problem NBC might have for its sitcom development in the near future.
Animal-Practice.jpg Look at some of the most broadly popular sitcoms of all time. Would you say that Friends or Cheers or All in the Family were not sophisticated? Of course not. What Greenblatt seems to mean in his formulation is that “broadening” is actually a process of programming shows that are less personal visions of the world by their creators, and more big, easily grasped concepts packaged as big-laff heart-warmers. At least, that’s the impression I get from seeing the pilots of the shows on NBC’s fall schedule, including Animal Practice, Men With Babies, Go On, and The New Normal.
I’m not saying these are bad shows — I want to write more nuanced reviews of them when they premiere, pointing out their good as well as their poor elements — but they do represent a shift away from NBC’s admirable support over the past few years for its non-blockbuster, award-winning Thursday-night sitcoms. The new shows can be easily tagged — Men With Babies (the title tells you all you need to know about a half-hour devoted to dads wrestling with little kids); Animal Practice is already lodged in your brain as “the one co-starring a monkey in a lab coat” — in a way that you can’t so easily summarize, say, Parks and Recreation or Community.

Peter Jackson in talks about possibly turning 'The Hobbit' into a trilogy

0 comment


hobbitEarlier this month, director Peter Jackson teased the crowd at Comic-Con with the news that he was interested in shooting additional material beyond his planned two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic The Hobbit. “There’s other parts of the story that we’d like to tell that we haven’t been able to tell yet,” he said. But as to the question of whether that extra footage could potentially translate into an actual third Hobbit film, Jackson wouldn’t go that far. “It’s very premature,” he said. “The discussions are pretty early.”

Dark Knight Rises' Opening Day: Not Business as Usual

Sunday, 22 July 2012 0 comment


The Dark Knight Rises, Poster Popcorn was sold. Seats were taken. A movie was shown. But it was anything but business as usual for The Dark Knight Rises' opening day.
In the wake of the largest mass shooting in U.S. history at a midnight Friday screening of the film in Aurora, Colo., the studio behind the Batman franchise did not release box-office estimates for what was expected tobe, and still appears to have been, a huge debut.
Deadline.com cited sources as saying The Dark Knight Rises grossed $77.2 million on Friday. The box-office tracking firm Exhibitor Relations was guesstimating $75 million to $80 million based on advance sales.The new three-day, Friday-Sunday projection, as noted by Deadline.com and TheWrap.com, was $170 million. 

Emmy snubs: What the Academy got right and wrong

nick-offermanWhat?! No best comedy series Emmy nomination for Parks and RecreationCommunity? Nothing for Mad Men‘s John Slattery?
Okay, before we climb onto the highest of our high horses and give those dolts at the TV Academy our righteous online fury, let’s first note what Emmy voters got right this year:

Emmy Awards: Why Sherlock Holmes and various 'girls' make this a schizo but superb nominations list Emmy Awards: Why Sherlock Holmes and various 'girls' make this a schizo but superb nominations list

You can argue about your favorite snubs (and, sure, Community and Fringe are among mine), but if you look at the entire list of Emmy nominations, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (probably by coincidence and chance) spread a lot of love to many of the right shows and the right stars.
TV-DOWNTON-ABBEYBy which I mean, for example, that even if your favorite sitcom didn’t get a best-sitcom nom (Louie!), Louis C.K. picked up actor, writer, and directing nominations. The key achievement this year is that the nominating process managed to find categories for a much wider array of interesting shows, new and old, to acknowledge in some way. And while we can moan about nominations for performers in shows that did not serve them, or us, well (Kathy Bates inHarry’s LawAgain? this past, lumpy season of Dexter for Michael C. Hall? and you knowParks and Recreation deserved Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s slot), there is a lot of new blood among the nominees to be heartened by.

'The Dark Knight Rises' makes an estimated $162 million at the box office

0 comment


The Dark Knight Rises took in an estimated $162 million over the weekend, reports The New York Times, giving it a slightly better opening than its predecessor, but still less than eitherThe Avengers or the final Harry Potter film. While that number was below some projections of $190 million, it indicates that moviegoers weren’t strongly dissuaded from attending screenings in the wake of the Colorado shooting. (Though pre-sale tickets are certainly a factor as well.)

Royal Trickery or Tribute? Kate Middleton Latest Photoshop Victim

Tuesday, 17 July 2012 0 comment


Fake Kate Middleton Marie Claire CoverHow the heck did Marie Claire South Africa snag Kate Middleton for the cover of their magazine?!
Um, they didn't.
Yes friends, you read that correctly, that is not the Duchess of Cambridge posing, but instead, the fantastic (kinda) work of idle hands and Photoshop.Which clearly explains the eclectic wardrobe choice that raised our eyebrows (it's not really Kate's steez).
Marie Claire's art department took Middleton's head and hands and plastered it onto a fashion model's body, and they're not shy about what they did. In fact, they're highlighting it as a "tribute."
"We were so inspired by her fairytale wedding and her life as a modern-day princess, which is why we elected Kate Middleton as our cover star for the August issue," editor, Aspasia Karras tells The Telegraph. "The cover is actually a hyper-real illustration of Kate, meant to be a fan art tribute to fashion's new royal icon."
What do you think of this "hyper-real illustration" of the royal? Sound off in the comments!

Why did 'Political Animals' get better reviews than 'The Newsroom'?

0 comment


political-animals-weaver-guginoOn Sunday night, the first installment of the USA network miniseries Political Animalspremiered opposite the fourth episode of The Newsroom. Both offer big-canvas portraits of workplace environments that fascinate the media (politics and, well, the media); both star actors who normally don’t “do” television (Sigourney Weaver; Jeff Daniels); both come from producers who’ve done interesting TV work in the past (Everwood and Jack & Bobby from Greg Berlanti; The West Wing and SportsNight from Aaron Sorkin). While no one would argue that Sorkin’s resume doesn’t carry more weight (a feature film career that includes The Social Network, A Few Good Men, and Moneyball — of which I really liked two out of three — will do that for a fella), Berlanti’s work here feels fully up to the level of Sorkin’s latest as fast-paced entertainment. It’s also received better reviews in the most prominent outlets.
Which leads to the question: Why?
The Newsroom is on classy HBO and arrives with the most thoroughgoing TV critique of the TV news media since Jon Stewart sat down for an interview with Rachel MaddowPolitical Animals is on USA, home of Suits and “Characters Welcome” and features a performance by Ciaran Hinds as Weaver’s ex-husband ex-President so hammy, Jimmy Dean recently called from the grave to see if he could do the “Political Animals Pork Sausage” merchandizing.
Still, Political Animals, at least based on two episodes I’ve seen, is the more enjoyable, less irritating viewing experience for a few reasons. First, it is what it is: A glossy nighttime soap with particular things to say about how women are treated in politics and the media, packaged in a way that suits the product. The Newsroom is, with the exception of a few performances (Jeff Daniels’; Thomas Sadoski’s; Sam Waterston’s; maybe Jane Fonda’s), an overreaching drama that tries to pass itself off as a tough, realistic, insider expose. With, last night, Coldplay music and the shooting of Gabby Giffords used as a shorthand way to clinch an hour-long argument about how rotten the Real Housewives franchise is.
