It’s jarring to realize “Step Up 3D” is not a parody. Sample dialogue: “Some people learn to dance. Others are born to.” “People dance because dance can change things. One move can bring people together. One move can make you believe like you’re something more. One move (dramatic pause) can set a whole generation free.” [...]

Oliver Stone’s next conspiracy: Israel killed Neda
Hugo’s lickspittle (my new favorite word) unleashed: Referring to the alleged influence of the powerful Jewish lobby on U.S. foreign policy, Stone said that Israel had distorted “United States foreign policy for years,” adding he felt U.S. policy toward Iran was “horrible.” “Iran isn’t necessarily the good guy,” Stone said, insisting that Americans did not [...]

My interview with Gallagher
The Stranger has an entertaining piece on Gallagher the melon-smasher, now “a paranoid, delusional, right-wing religious maniac.” I can vouch for the first two, having interviewed Leo Gallagher in 2000. Only Walter Payton was more difficult, repeatedly passing gas during our chat, lifting his leg for emphasis. Back to Gallagher. He had just sued his [...]
Why not some obvious product placement?
What could possibly make the LeBron James selection show more obnoxious? Naming the Progressive insurance pitchwoman the host. Which leads me to ask: Filed under: commercials, egomaniacs, Obnoxious celebrities, pop culture
Would Queen Latifah be so forgiving if someone beat the shit out of her girlfriend?
“[Chris Brown] needs to be forgiven,” said Queen Latifah. “Enough already. We can’t keep beating him up. She’s going to grow and he’s going to grow and we have to allow them both to do that.” So it was a learning experience … interesting. I’ve learned never to trust weepy narcissists who beat up women.

Stop M. Night Shyamalan before he directs again
If Michael Bay had even less talent and more arrogance, he’d be M. Night Shyamalan. I must recommend The Lady in the Lake (2006), if only to witness the Xerxes-like hubris to which a highly ambitious man can fall prey. Tortured in its gestation – Disney, recognising the weaknesses in the script, declined this time [...]

At least he didn’t list ‘Celebrity’
Woody Allen’s favorite Woody Allen movies? Purple Rose of Cairo, Match Point, Bullets Over Broadway, Zelig, Husbands and Wives, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. WTF? “Zelig” is an underrated gem, and “Bullets” a clever diversion, but “Vicky Cristina Barecelona” is a a pretentious pile of shit — one of three Woody Allen movies I walked out [...]

Another dispatch from the handjob media
Rolling Stone, the MTV of magazines, slaps the “genius” tag on annoying British comic Russell Brand, who proves my point: “I’m constantly distracted by my ambition, narcissism, vanity, desire, lust,” says comedian Russell Brand in the latest Rolling Stone cover story. “I don’t pretend to enjoy anonymity.” After breaking out with the character Aldous Snow [...]

The rehabilitation of a creepy cultist
You’ve been led to believe that Tom Cruise’s MTV Movie Awards Performance was the funniest thing ever, redeeming his sullied reputation. With a three-minute booty-shakin’ performance, the actor himself officially ended the era of Tom Cruise bashing. Oprah’s couch? Scientology? The eyepatch in ‘Valkyrie’? Fuhgeddaboudit! Cruise became definitively cool again with his live appearance, complete [...]
Bad enough we have to claim Seacrest
Actually, Seacrest is worse than Hasselhoff, who apparently also spent some time in Atlanta. According to his official website, Hasselhoff flunked out of Marist High School.
