For me, it’s always kind of odd to refer to Mary Lynn Rajskub as 24’s Mary Lynn Rajskub. I know that’s her signature now, but I’ve never bothered watching the show. To me, she’s the comedy chick from Mr. Show and The Larry Sanders Show, and she always will be. Great for her that she’s … Continue reading →
Is Tobey Maguire sick of money? He may be, if his comments to the Australian Courier-Mail newspaper are any indication. While Down Under to promote The Good German (of which he is the best part), Maguire said that he feels like Spider-Man is a trilogy and that it’s all been wrapped up as far as … Continue reading →

And though this might look like an attention-getting Monday morning fake, it’s probably going to happen. IESB is reporting that at the junket for Shooter, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura was talking up G.I. Joe, which … Continue reading →

The A in AICN sometimes means Access – these guys get all the good access. More power to them, he says as he chokes down his own jealousy. This time the gang at AICN, or more specifically jet-setter Quint, is down in Louisiana on the set of Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist. … Continue reading →
For many people, one of the highlights of the Oscar ceremony last Sunday was Jerry Seinfeld introducing the Best Documentary Oscar with a little bit of stand-up about going to the movies, where he poked some fun at the nominees as ‘depressing.’ If that was an audition for hosting the next ceremony… consider me sold. … Continue reading →
