‘MODERN WARFARE 3′ MAKES $775 MILLION IN 5 DAYS, BLOWS AWAY ALL RECORDS
Is this why Hollywood makes movies that recreate the experience of what it’s like to watch someone else play a video game?
DEMI MOORE TURNS TO MADONNA FOR DIVORCE ADVICE
The photo will make you wince. This one’s worse. Someone needs to turn to Kentucky Fried Chicken first.
He’s not worth it, Demi. Damn.
And turning to Madonna for advice about divorce is like turning to Obama for advice about creating jobs.
NETFLIX SELLS $400 MILLION IN STOCK TO RAISE CASH
This is to acquire the rights to more streaming content. As a Streaming only customer, that sure sounds good to me.
How about some “Wild Wild West.”
Oh wait, I just bought the whole series at Amazon for $35. I win.
‘EW’ MORON ASKS IF GEORGE CLOONEY IS THE NEW PAUL NEWMAN
Wait, I thought Clooney was The New Cary Grant.
The bubble too many of these people live in is oh-so very real. Paul Newman was ALL movie star. And to become a movie star THE PEOPLE have to love you, not just the bubble-boyed entertainment media. Since 2000, Clooney has not carried a single movie to $100M without the help of Brad Pitt and Julie Roberts.
And most of his films flop.
And they blow.
And now a little context…
By the time Paul Newman was the same age Clooney is now, he was already well on his way to becoming a legend and had starred in: “The Long Hot Summer, ” “Cat On a Hot Tin Roof,” “Exodus,” “The Hustler,” “Sweet Bird of Youth,” “Hud,” “Harper,” “COOL HAND FREAKIN’ LUKE,” “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” and “The Sting.”
How about a little respect for The Mighty.
Idiots.
Little hard to pin my feelings about this on Clooney’s politics when you consider Newman was a proud liberal his entire life.

Just passing this link along. Haven’t read it. There might be photos.
ETHAN HAWKE PLANNING ANOTHER ‘BEFORE SUNRISE’ SEQUEL WITH JULIE DELPY AND RICHARD LINKLATER
I could never get into either of these. Many people I respect love both, but for whatever reason I never saw the appeal. When I need a dose of bittersweet, unrequited love this and this fit the bill just fine.

LAST NIGHT’S SCREENING
Zombieland (2009): Wasn’t a fan of this the first time I saw it. For some reason, the sequence everyone raved about, THE CAMEO, completely threw the movie for me. It was so hyped but also so gimmicky and self-referential that it brought the roof down on what had been a pretty entertaining ride.
Watching it again, though, helped. I knew what to expect and THE CAMEO part is actually pretty short. What I especially appreciated was that Woody Harrelson’s wild-eyed country boy character ends up being the hero and the one who teaches the pasty little metrosexual a thing or two about how you gotta “nut up.”
