Jokes from Beautiful Women

Anne Hathaway (with Jake Gyllenhaal in "Brokeback Mountain")"This woman walks into a bar, and she has the hairiest armpits in the history of armpits. She sits down, raises her arm, and says, "Bartender, I would like a drink." There's an old drunk sitting next to her. Slurring, he says, "Barkeep, I would like to buy the ballerina a drink." She accepts, drinks it, raises her arm again to get the bartender's attention, and orders another. The old man says, "Barkeep, you just keep giving the ballerina anything she wants." Finally, the bartender goes over to the drunk and says, "Sir, that's nice of you, but how do you know she's a ballerina?" The old man answers, "Son, you don't get to be my age without learning that only ballerinas can lift their legs that high."Gretchen Mol (with Matt Damon in "Rounders")"Why should you never tell a joke while ice fishing? Because the ice will crack up".Elisha Cuthbert (with Emile Hirsch in "The girl next door")"There's a bear and a rabbit in the woods. The bear turns to the rabbit and says, "Do you have a problem with shit sticking to your fur?" And the rabbit goes, "No." So the bear wipes his ass with the rabbit".Amber Heard (with Seth Rogen in "Pineapple Express")"Two drivers climb out of their cars after colliding at an intersection. One pulls a flask from his pocket and says, "Here, have a nip of whiskey to calm your nerves."
"Thanks," says the other driver, taking a swig. "Here, you have one, too." "Nah, I'd rather not — the police will be here soon."
Olivia Wilde (with Emile Hirsch in "Alpha Dog")"One night, on a camping trip, Sherlock Holmes wakes up Watson and says, "Look at the stars. What do you deduce?" Watson thinks for a minute and says, "Well, I see millions of stars, many of which resemble our sun, which most likely have their own planets, which most likely have life-forms like us, so I deduce that there is life on other planets." And Sherlock says, "No, you idiot, someone's stolen our tent."Diane Kruger (with Quentin Tarantino)"A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette with a very satisfied smile on his face. The egg is frowning and looking frustrated. The egg says, "Guess we answered that question."

Brief gay summary onscreen

"On the other hand, many gay characters are still tucked into supporting and sometimes bewildering roles on television – like Olivia Wilde's Thirteen on "House", who has by turns been lesbian, bisexual, straight, self-destructive, confused and determined.In the movies, "Brokeback Mountain" sparked exactly zero major studio attempts to tap that audience with something similar.On the one hand, gay people have fought their way to far greater acceptance than anyone could have imagined 40 years ago, when the "Stonewall riots" in Greenwich Village helped blast a movement out of the closet.On the other hand, large numbers of Americans still are uncomfortable about gays, as "Bruno" illustrates once again, and because "mainstream" movie and television producers depend on patronage from a mass audience, they desperately don't want to alienate some measurable percentage of the population just by subject matter.Even a movie as well-made and well-reviewed as "Brokeback Mountain" undoubtedly lost potential viewers who just felt uncomfortable about Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall kissing.The sexuality of Jon Voight's Joe Buck was a major theme in the dark "Midnight Cowboy," as was his relationship with Dustin Hoffman's Ratso Rizzo. "Midnight Cowboy" won an Oscar. The next year the dark "Boys in the Band" became a movie, though neither movie portrayed being gay as anything like comfortable.By 1980, Hollywood was still most comfortable having a major gay character be a demented psychokiller like the one in Al Pacino's "Cruising."n 1991 Gus Van Sant had a good-sized hit with the modest-sized movie "My Own Private Idaho", wherein Keanu Reeves and the late River Phoenix struggled with honesty about their sexuality.Robert De Niro's character in "This Boy's Life" (1993) still sneers to a young Leonardo DiCaprio that one of the other boys "plays for the pink team."Perhaps the most encouraging movie sign yet was last year's "Milk", with Sean Penn playing Harvey Milk as a man who was gay, but was also a whole lot of other things. Just like most gay people.
Meanwhile, in lead roles, Ellen DeGeneres made weeks of headlines when it became clear she was going to "come out" as her sitcom rolled to a close. Would America ever accept a gay woman sitcom lead character, it was fervently asked?But Ellen is now hosting a very successful daily talk show on which, surprise, her sexual orientation is rarely more than a passing reference.Like Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen has proven that if you have interesting guests and something valuable or funny to say, the audience won't much care whom you sleep with.
So the train is rolling, and rolling in the right direction. But for all the talk of television and Hollywood as agents of the "liberal media", they don't seem inclined to run their train much faster or slower than the rest of the country's".

Tobey Maguire will play the lead in "The Details"

Oscar talk begins

"Oscar talk is already all-year round (as if you don't know yet!), but it seems to me, the focus remains on the established performers - most notably the filmmakers and the lead actors and actresses (Streep, Dench, Day-Lewis, Eastwood, Scorsese).

Jennifer Hudson won the Best Supporting for Dream Girls at 25,

while Anna Paquin won the same award for The Piano at 11, one of the youngest ever.
Nominees include Natalie Portman (Best Supporting for Closer when she was 24), Soairse Ronan (Best Supporting for Atonement when she was just 13), Keisha Castle-Hughes (Best Actress for Whale Rider when she was just 13), Ellen Page (Best Actress for Juno at age 20), Abegail Breslin (Best Supporting for Little Miss Sunshine at 10), Rinko Kikuchi (Best Supporting for BABEL at 25, the year Hudson won) and Keira Knightley (Best Actress for Pride and Prejudice at 20) to name a few.
Heath Ledger won the Best Supporting (Posthumous) at 29, but he was 27 when he got the Best Actor nom for Brokeback Mountain. Nominees include Ryan Gosling (Best Actor for Half-Nelson when he was 26), Jake Gyllenhaal (Best Supporting for Brokeback Mountain when he was 25). While he's over 30, Adrien Brody won the Best Actor for The Pianist, when he was 29, the youngest ever to win".

"Entertainment Weekly" Twilight photoshoot

-Why is Edward so alluring?
-What I never really understood about his attractiveness, especially to young girls, is his gentlemanliness. I thought that teenage girls like the dangerous aspect of males, and so I tried to emphasize the danger and make the more gentlemanly side of this character a veil to something else underneath. I really tried to make him an incredibly strong and powerful character, but at the same time self-loathing and extremely vulnerable.

-So you saw Edward as sometimes vulnerable?
-Yes. When his life is put into basic terms, he has nothing to live for and all he wants to do is either become a human or die. The only reason that he hasn’t died is because he is too scared; he doesn’t think that he has a soul. Then he meets Bella, who makes him feel like a human and feel alive again. At the same time, her human vulnerability makes him incredibly vulnerable, because even with his super speed and his super strength, he still can’t fully protect her. Whenever she is in danger, he is in danger. If she dies or goes anywhere, then he is gone, too.

-What was your favorite scene to shoot?
-I knew that there were some scenes where I was going to have to look demonic and have a glare that would scare humans. That was difficult to prepare. My favorite scene that we ended up shooting was this little random one near the beginning where I try and intimidate Bella by being a scary vampire and she doesn’t back down at all.

-New York or L.A.?
-I like them both for different reasons. They are literally opposite sides of the coin, so it’s kind of nice to switch between the two. New York is incredibly frenetic, and nothing ever happens in L.A.

-Trademark style?
-Looking terrible. Truly, I wear the same thing every day. I don’t know how to use a washer machine.


-Celebrity crush?
-I don’t know. I am sure that if I did say anyone’s name, it would be really embarrassing if I met them.

Robert and Emilie hounded by paps on set


"Robert Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin on the set of "Remember me".

"This was day 10 of shooting, which for the first 7 minutes, showed his co-star Emilie de Ravin filming her scene.

Then at about the 7 minute mark, Robert Pattinson came out of his trailer to shoot his scene which took about an hour to setup. The paparazzi were all in the street trying to get their photos of him,but this scene required them to get out of the street. People working on the movie set, had to constantly tell them to back, and get out of the street numerous times before they finally cooperated".

Happy 4th July 2009!

"Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut provides an intriguing interpretation of the sociopolitical milieu of modern America that is no less valid - and considerably less sermonizing - than the current news stories and documentaries that pervade our television and cinemas. In the wake of the Presidential election in the United States, its relevance comes to the forefront as a commentary of the state of the nation then and now, and chilling reminder of things to (potentially) come. As Richard Kelly commented:

"And if we make it to the end of time, we may be rewarded with a fireworks display to end it all, once and for all".

"The Macy's July 4th fireworks display originally made its debut on the Hudson River in 1958 before becoming an East River tradition in 1976.

Macy's 4th of July Fireworks 2009

The 2009 Macy's fireworks show will feature more than 40,000 shells exploding at a rate of more than 1,500 per minute (that's eight times more high-level fireworks than last year's show). At approximately 9:20 pm on July 4th, the 26-minute display will be set off from six barges positioned between 24th and 50th Streets on the Hudson River".

"Brothers" trailer video


Trailer for "Brothers", starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire.

Courtesy of Entertainment Tonight:
www.etonline.com

"BROTHERS" tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirtysomething Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites. A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters (Bailee Madison, Taylor Grace Geare). Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison, at Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie (Mare Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Sam Shepard), a retired Marine.

Shipped out to Afghanistan, Sam is presumed dead when his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains. At home in suburbia, the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void, and Tommy tries to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children.
When Sam unexpectedly returns to the States, a nervous mood settles over the family. Sam, uncharacteristically withdrawn and volatile, grows suspicious of his brother and his wife. Their familiar roles now nearly reversed, Sam and Tommy end up facing the ultimate physical and mental challenge when they confront each other. In the shifting family dynamics, who will dominate? And how will the brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood—and with the woman caught between them?" Source: www.latinoreview.com

"500 days of Summer": Zooey and Joseph

"Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt are excellent in the central roles.


(500) Days of Summer (Expectations vs. Reality)

Sometimes these tangential departures pay off - such as a segment in which a split-screen reveals Tom's expectations against his reality - but at other times - such as an ill-advised black and white French film homage - it feels as though Webb is serving his own whims rather than adding something to the story for his audience.

Flawed though it is, 500 Days Of Summer is still a fair cut above the average piece of Hollywood fare both in terms of its laugh quotient and offbeat romance".

"(500) Days of Summer" stars hipster axiom Joseph Gordon-Levitt as an aspiring architect who falls for a romantically challenged co-worker, played by Zooey Deschanel. As our friends over at Curbed LA note, the film was initially set in San Francisco, but the location was changed after Gordon-Levitt and director Marc Webb took a walking tour of downtown L.A. The script was then rewritten to incorporate the buildings they saw -- including the Bradbury Building (most famous for "Blade Runner"); the Music Center (which includes the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion); and the towers of California Plaza".

ZOOEY DESCHANEL TRACKS DOWN MIDCENTURY CLASSICS IN L.A.:
Architectural Digest: Shopping with Zooey Deschanel.
"The daughter of cinematographer Caleb Deschanel and actress Mary Jo Deschanel, she thrives on such allowances.
Deschanel grew up in a Craftsman-influenced house in L.A.’s Pacific Palisades and currently lives in a traditional house in Beverly Hills, but she surrounds herself with postwar treasures—an Eero Saarinen Tulip table, a Danish modern love seat and chairs, a vanity and dresser from the 1940s. At the moment she could use a larger dining table—but for Deschanel shopping is less a mission than an adventure. “That’s why I like flea markets. I’ll be looking for one thing and then find something else, like an old record player or typewriter or globe.”
Source: www.architecturaldigest.com

"Downtown L.A. just seemed like a perfect fit in a way. So few people pay it any attention, and there's a ton of history and stuff that's pretty beautiful and fascinating," co-writer Scott Neustadter told Curbed LA.

"We were very conscious not to do the 'Entourage' L.A. but to show it in a way other movies and TV shows rarely do."

In perhaps an ironic nod, there's also a scene of the stars taking a romp through IKEA. From the architecturally sublime to the big-box generic".
