Media Manipulation Jennifer Lawrence: no Dumb & Dumber to and next moves Jennifer Lawrence's interviews with David Letterman are always must-see TV. Brimming with confidence - sometimes with the help of a blanket - J.Law typically drops truth bombs on the show. Last night, she clearly identified Nicholas Hoult as her ex in a story about ghosts. But with By Joanna • Nov 13, 2014 12:11 pm
Pitt "Porn" Brange's Australian meet-up? Here's Brad Pitt in Seoul, South Korea today at the premiere and press conference for Fury.

Movie Reviews and Previews Hugh Grant, a goat, and Meryl Hugh Grant was in Austria yesterday at the opening of Gut Aiderbichl Christmas Market holding on to a goat. Is that a goat? I think he’s also promoting a movie. European press tours are so weird. Did you know he’s doing a movie with Meryl Streep next year? By Lainey • Nov 12, 2014 03:03 pm
Media Manipulation Joaquin Phoenix didn’t punch this guy Joaquin Phoenix is promoting Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation of Inherent Vice, which comes out next month in the outside position of award season. Never want to count out PTA—or Phoenix, who despite being anti-campaign consistently gets nominated—but it’s really starting to feel like anything coming out By Sarah • Nov 12, 2014 01:31 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Rough flight? Brad Pitt arrived in South Korea today to promote Fury. He looks rough. Pale and clammy, non? Flying with the flu is the worst. And it’s not great for the person sitting next to you either. Have you ever sat next to a sniffler? It fills me with rage. By Lainey • Nov 12, 2014 11:21 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Blonde Sandra Bullock Sandra Bullock is blonde for her new film Our Brand Is Crisis, currently shooting in Puerto Rico. I thought it was Jennifer Aniston. You?

Movie Reviews and Previews Emma Stone charms Broadway Last night was Emma Stone’s Broadway debut as Sally in Cabaret. If Twitter is any indication, she delivered.

Movie Reviews and Previews Jared Leto could be the next Joker and that’s fine Warner Brothers/DC is making Suicide Squad, which will be directed by David Ayer.

Movie Reviews and Previews Into The Woods singing trailer I think I peaked too early. When we got the teaser trailer earlier this year, I was so excited. I was SO excited.

Movie Reviews and Previews Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are making another comedy The Other Guys is seriously underrated in Will Ferrell’s canon. That movie has really grown on me over the last few years, and it’s mostly because Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg make such a pleasantly, surprisingly great comedy team. Also it has some solid action-movie reference gags, and I By Sarah • Nov 07, 2014 10:34 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Hobbit: Almost Over The first full trailer for The Hobbit: Nerd Climax was released yesterday and it’s two minutes of dramatic music, clashing armies, loaded stares, and war bats.

Media Manipulation Nominate her because she’s ugly Two week ago, it was announced that Jennifer Aniston’s Cake, despite screening at TIFF not securing a distributor, would be released in limited run for Oscar qualification by a new company formed by the producers and rumoured to be backed by Aniston herself. She really wants recognition for this By Lainey • Nov 07, 2014 09:26 am
Dumbass Star Wars has a stupid title There’s an epidemic in Hollywood, a rash spreading through production offices like a bad case of pink eye, and it’s the trend of dumb subtitles given to franchise pictures. My #1 stupid title punching bag is Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which I call Superhero Face Punch By Sarah • Nov 06, 2014 01:59 pm
