There was a time when Hugh Hefner was relevant, but in my opinion, that was decades ago. I haven't cared what he has to say since the late 80's early 90's. Frankly the thought of a 60yrs old dating a 20yrs old is more creepy than impressive. Hearing that an 80yrs is dating an 20yrs is just plain creepy and disturbing. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I agree Hugh Hefner was much more relevant back in the 1960s and 1970s. I also think he's entitled to spend his time and money as he sees fit. If he wants young girls, and can still enjoy them, that's between Hefner and the girls. On a different note: Brad Pitt bought a painting at an art fair in Switzerland. List price of the painting: $960,000. Titled, "Etappe," the painting is by the German artist Neo Rauch. If the painting he bought is the one in the picture with Brad Pitt, some of us could probably do a painting that is as good as this one, without any artistic background. Just splash a lot of paint onto a canvass, and leave a bunch of white spaces in between the paint. That's the advantage of non-photographic painting: it's difficult to tell how much talent a person really has. I look at paintings by Picasso, and I wonder if Picasso had his eyes crossed when he was painting. Or maybe he was just drunk at the time. But a lot of people don't agree with me, I realize. They create stories in their minds when they look at the blobs of painting, and call it great art. I'm thinking that if John Travolta and Denzel Washington are not available for my Mega-Movie, "The Prisoner Unchained Meets The Terminator At Batman's Cave," I might get Brad Pitt instead. He's a good-looking guy who can sometimes draw a crowd, which would help the gross revenues. Casting will begin soon, when I rent a hotel room and start looking at female hotties who might light up the screen (and my hotel bed). The benefits of being a Motion Picture Producer. But where is that Wittyguy with the script already? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.o...p-modern-art-fair-ap Brad Pitt buys painting at top modern art fair (AP) Source: AP Thu Jun 11, 2009, 5:56 am EDT BASEL, Switzerland - Brad Pitt was the star attraction at this year's edition of the world's leading contemporary art fair. He was also a customer. He bought a painting titled, "Etappe," by the German artist Neo Rauch, said Art Basel spokeswoman Maike Cruse. The David Zwirner Gallery in New York had advertised the work as an "enigmatic and dreamlike" representation of a race car being serviced mid-competition. Its list price was about $960,000. The gallery refused to comment. Rauch is among Europe's top painters, drawing on traditions of Eastern Bloc realism and Western abstraction. The 40th Art Basel fair opened to the public Wednesday. It features works from over 2,500 artists. Pitt also attended last year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |

Creepy and disturbing, but still his right to do so, and it seems to have television interested enough to think he, or whoever he is dating, is relevant to give them their own show. What I have seen of the show, there is not much to it; some behind the scenes stuff at photo shoots (which are softcore anyway), and their day to day "lives" at the mansion, but the girls are dumb as rocks, and you feel guilty after watching more than two minutes of it. It is all about money; no matter how charming of a gentlemen Hef is, I seriously doubt he would be as popular, or at least as active, as he is if wasn't the millionaire founder of Playboy.

I don't expect TV execs to have inteligence or morales. The fact that Hugh can date 19yrs old twins is his right. It's still a little creepy. To be honest I don't think Hugh has any desire to do anything with these women except to give them a peck on the cheek when they bring him his warm glass of milk before bedtime. Magic pill or no magic pill the man is in 80's. I agree that he's on TV because he is Hugh Hefner. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I've never been a fan of Picasso myself so I would never have a desire to purchase one of his paintings. That is if I had the means to do so, of course. Art is quite subjective, so what one thinks his amazing another thinks is crap. I'm not surprised that an actor spent nearly a million on a painting that I find unimpressive. I try not to waste too much time on what very rich people do. It makes them look petty and small. Mind you that is probably what they are. How many people could have been fed with that money. How many more doctors or nurses could we get for that money. If it weren't for middle class people the world would be a far worse place. In his defense there was at least something on the canvas. I remember a 60 minutes special on modern art or such where someone bought a white canvas. Now that is just plain stupid. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

It's a hell of a way to grow old, even without all that sex that I am assuming he used to get. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

In some way it might be but I'm more of the opinion that it's a kind of torture. Afterall it's like living in a candy store with all of your favorite treats but you discover that you are now allergic to sugar. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

My take is that old Hef has a million memories to keep him warm, even if he can't perform like he used to. And these current girlfriends are probably more like trophies, but still nice and lovely to tuck him into bed at night. In spite of an aging body, he's trying to get as much enjoyment from life he can possibly get. And he's got the money (and fame) to live a lifestyle that is pretty damn great. Maybe on his deathbed he might give it all up for the greater glory of God (human nature?), but until then, carpe diem. | |

I don't get the analogy. Whether he can get it up or not, he can do a lot of kissing and stroking - that's got to be enjoyable. If he were allergic, he'd have to stay away from them - now that would be torture! | |

Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese, release date 2 October 2009. Should be one of the better films of 2009, almost certain to be nominated for a bunch of Academy Awards. (Personally, I wonder how useful some of these Academy Awards really are, except as a marketing tool, a boost to an actor's career/paycheck, and a bit of glory. Academy Awards are not a useful indicator for me of how much I will enjoy a film.) Shutter Island has great cast: Leonardo DiCaprio Mark Ruffalo Ben Kingsley Emily Mortimer Michelle Williams Max von Sydow Jackie Earle Haley Patricia Clarkson Elias Koteas Ted Levine John Carroll Lynch | |

(Forbes Magazine listing) Hollywood's 10 Top-Earning Actors 1. Harrison Ford 2. Adam Sandler 3. Will Smith 4. Eddie Murphy 5. Nicolas Cage 6. Tom Hanks 7. Tom Cruise 8. Jim Carrey 9. Brad Pitt 10. Will Ferrell To figure out earnings, we (Forbes Magazine) talked to agents, managers, producers and lawyers to determine what the stars earned as upfront pay on movies they are currently shooting, as well as backend pay earned after a movie hit the theaters. We also looked at any money actors might have earned from doing ads for things like beer, banks and coffee. Since 2000, Ford has appeared in only four movies, none of which made much of an impression at the box office. That all changed in 2008 when Ford strapped back on his trusty whip and went adventuring again in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," the fourth film in the Indiana Jones series. In order to lure Ford out of his semi-retirement, Paramount agreed to a lucrative deal that split almost all of the film's earnings (after the studio made back its production and advertising costs) between Ford, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. As a result of the deal, Ford earned $65 million between June 2008 and June 2009, making him the highest-paid actor on our annual Celebrity 100 list. Coming in behind Ford with $55 million is Adam Sandler. The funnyman had two successful movies last year, "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" and "Bedtime Stories," plus he earned a big paycheck for the upcoming Judd Apatow movie "Funny People," in which he plays a comedian who thinks he might be dying. In third is Will Smith, often considered in Hollywood to be the one person who can open any movie in the U.S. and abroad. Critics lambasted his two latest movies, "Hancock" and "Seven Pounds," but they were both still hits -- earning $800 million between them. Eddie Murphy lands in fourth place on our list despite his disastrous film "Meet Dave." The movie, which was made for an estimated $60 million, earned only $50 million at the worldwide box office. Rounding out the top five is Nicolas Cage. The tireless worker doesn't earn the same size paychecks as people like Smith and Sandler, but he currently has six movies scheduled to hit theaters in the next two years, including "G-Force," about some very smart hamsters, and a live-action version of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Conspicuously low on the list (10th place) is Johnny Depp, who last year ranked second with $72 million. This year he earned $27 million. The reason: no pirate movie. Depp is almost always well paid, but he earns a nice chunk of the profits of the Disney series "Pirates of the Caribbean," which have earned a collective $2.6 billion at the worldwide box office. Coming in at the bottom of our top 20 is Will Ferrell. The former "Saturday Night Live" star has seen a steady decline in box office revenue for his comedies. Things hit bottom this weekend when his remake of the TV show "Land of the Lost" earned just $18 million at the box office. | |

The funniest thing about that list is that I haven't watched a new movie from either Will, Eddy, Tom, Jim and Brad in a couple of years. The only reason that Harrison in on the list is because of the deal he had to make the recent Indiana Jones movie. I can't remember the last movie I saw with him before that last Indina movie. Why is Tom Cruise in that list. Isn't Valkyrie the last movie he made? Although not a bomb I don't think it was a success. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Tom Cruise is on the list because there is a lagging effect with the salaries of movie stars. Tom Cruise was, until Will Smith hit it big, the biggest star around, with the highest box office grosses. So for years after Tom Cruise peaked, he is still be able to command a high salary. The death of porn? If movies are cleaning up their act regarding swear words, will the porn world see a similar reform, where two people will only be allowed to hold hands, with maybe a platonic kiss for the climax? Note: the blog below is undated, which is an example of shoddy blogsmanship. How can we assess the relevance of news and blogs unless the idiots date their reports? I also like to see photo sets and videos dated when they are posted on porn sites. That gives me a better idea on whether the site is being updated, how often the updates appear, and makes it easier to navigate the site contents. ................................................................................... http://movies.msn.com/mom-pop-culture/sw...vies/story/?GT1=MPC2 Holy $%(*!: There's Less Swearing in Teen Movies By Martha Brockenbrough MSN Cinemama Learn more about kids' entertainment on MSN's Mom & Pop Culture This might come as a blow to people who subscribe to the hell-in-a-hand-basket theory of American pop culture, but teens today are exposed to far less cursing in their movies than teens in previous generations. Gosh! Shut the front door! Surprising, yes. But it's true. A trio of researchers in Brigham Young University's communications department studied the top G-, PG and PG-13 rated movies from the 1980s to the present day and reported their findings in The Journal of Children and Media. There's been a big drop in swearing from the 1980s teen movies to today. It's especially surprising because dirty words on TV and in music are on the rise. "When you consider that profanity is increasing on television, especially during the 9-10 p.m. hour," co-author Mark Callister said, "you often expect to find similar trends in other media." But not for the big screen, apparently. The authors found that in the 1980s, movies in this ratings cluster averaged 35 blue words per movie. That dropped to 25 per movie in the 1990s. In the new millennium, we're averaging 16 naughty words a film. In all, the 30 1980s movies they studied had 1,068 dirty words, compared with 758 in the 1990s and 485 in the 2000s (though theoretically, a few really foul-mouthed movies could bring the average up again -- the 2000s aren't quite over yet). Perhaps unsurprisingly, male characters uttered almost three-quarters of the naughty words (and teen males most of all). Some funny examples: "Weird Science," from the 1980s, had 80 instances of profanity in it. "A Cinderella Story," from 2004, had a mere two, and they were mild. (It stars Hilary Duff, whose last name does not count as a profanity, in case you were wondering.) The study's authors said they didn't know why swearing is on the decline. A separate study that came out in 2008, though, said movies with less swearing in them made more money; that would seem like the No. 1 compelling reason for producers to cut back on the cursing. In any case, if you're worried about the language your kids are hearing, send them to the movie theater. Who knew it was so darned wholesome in there? Martha Brockenbrough is author of "Things That Make Us [Sic]," a guide to funny bad grammar, published by St. Martin's press. She also blogs about family life for Cozi.com and writes an educational humor column for Encarta. ................................................................................... | |

I think he owns part of United Artists, and that probably makes him plenty of money. Even if they didn't include his earnings from that studio, I would not be surprised if he makes plenty even for a bomb, because it is likely he (or any of these actors on this list) agree to commit to a film only after a considerable salary upfront, plus a certain percentage of box office gross. It is kind of like what Ford did with the latest Indy movie, though that was probably an unusually good deal. I could not stand that film, but it's part of a successful franchise, and was probably not too huge of a gamble to let him have so much of the profits. Of course, it's all about the art, right?

I think you are correct that Tom owns part of a studio. I just thought that since the article mentioned actors that they would be using earnings based on actual movie roles. Harrison is definetely on the list for Indiana Jones because I don't think he would have made the top 20 otherwise. I've read a few articles going back to last year and the good old days of high earning salaries is pretty much over now. Too many actors, actresses and directors started putting their fingers in the pot even before the movie is made that most studios can't afford to make the movie. It's kind of pathetic to think that a movie which has 2 stars and one director will cost 50 million before it's even started filming. Of course you are correct. It's all worth it because we wouldn't have all these amazing movies that are tanking at the box office because they are crap(sorry I meant art). Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Blood: The Last Vampire (2009) Genres: Action/Adventure, Art/Foreign, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Suspense/Horror and Thriller Running Time: 1 hr. 29 min. Release Date: July 10th, 2009 (limited) MPAA Rating: R for strong bloody stylized violence. Distributors: Samuel Goldwyn Films On the surface, Saya is a stunning 16-year old girl, but that youthful exterior hides the tormented soul of a 400 year-old "halfling." Born to a human father and a vampire mother, she has for centuries been a loner, obsessed with using her samurai skills to rid the world of vampires, all the while knowing that she herself can survive only on blood like those she hunts. When she is sent to an American military base in Tokyo by the clandestine organization for whom she works, Saya immediately senses that this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the evil patriarch of all vampires. Using her superhuman strength and her sword, she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series of spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she forms her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter of the base's general that Saya learns her greatest power over Onigen may well be her ability to make a human connection... ........................... Limited opening July 10, means it could have a very limited run in the U.S., opening in just a few U.S. cities. Might be here and gone before you can blink. I have no idea how good this film will be. If you're into Japanese manga, you might want to take a look-see if it's anywhere near your neighborhood, or you might be better off renting Blood - The Last Vampire (2001), an animated version of the story. I saw Blood - The Last Vampire (2001), and did not think it was great, but many fans think that was a classic. Personal taste differs. This lastest version is a live-action movie. The main star is the girl who became famous for My Sassy Girl (2001), a Korean love story that was a big hit in Korea. When the actress made My Sassy Girl, she was known as Ji-hyun Jun, but for Blood: The Last Vampire (2009) she's now listed as Gianna Jun (I guess this is supposed to be easier for U.S. and world audiences to handle than her original Korean name). If you don't know Gianna Jun, the chances are tiny you will know any actor in this film. | |

Sounds interesting but the director is from the west. Could be a hit or miss. I wonder where this was filmed due to this. I know of Blood+ and the animated movie. I will probably have to wait until DVD/blu-ray due to the limited releasing but I am sure it will be an entertaining movie. The live action adaptations of manga/anime have been pretty good so far and I've seen quite a few of them. But, I've never seen one directed by a western director so it may put a twist on things. Will have to add to the queue when it becomes listed at netflix. Sexted From My iPad Edited on Jun 18, 2009, 12:21pm | |

Yahoo lists the filming locations for Blood: The Last Vampire as Russia, China, and Argentina. Imdb lists the filming locations for Blood: The Last Vampire as Hong Kong, Japan, France, Argentina. Production is listed as Hong Kong. Chris Nahon, the director, is listed as: Noted French commercial and music video director. The actual production was supposed to have a lot of problems. I saw a trailer for Blood that said the producer of Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was involved in this film. Those two movies were major world-wide hits. I would be amazed if this film had anywhere near the success of those two hits. From the previews I saw, I would guess this is a relatively low-budget movie. Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon were big budget movies (for China, not for U.S.). Edited on Jun 18, 2009, 03:00pm | |

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens tomorrow, Wednesday, Jun 24. I read a few days ago that Michael Bay, the director of Transformers Part 1 and Transformers Part 2 (Part 2 is the movie that is coming out tomorrow) made $80 million for Transformers Part 1. That is a nice chunk of change. Let's hope that everyone here at PU goes to support Transformers Part 2, because I would hate to think that Michael Bay might not have enough money to order the special coffee late (or however you spell it) at McDonald's, if he chooses to visit such a place. Actually, Transformers Part 2 is supposed to be a great special-effects movie, just like Part 1, with a not-so-great storyline, but that's what sells in today's movie theaters. | |

I don't care how much money he makes, but I wish he would make something that had some meaning beyond the technical achievements of its special effects. Of course, this would make considerably less money and he might be out of a job, but we can always wish... "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Michael Bay is notorious for making shit movies with great special effects. Perfect director for the American masses these days that appear to need action and effects rather than a good story line or acting for a movie to be considered good. Oh, yeah, they love boisterous comedians doing over the top acting in horrible plotted comedies too. Transformers 2: I'll wait until the rental comes out just like the first. Sexted From My iPad | |

I saw the best film I've seen in recent memory last night - My nephew and I are usually partial to zombie flicks, but I'd seen all the block-busters out so far, pretty much, and the remaining Hollywood dreck wasn't appealing - lucky for us the LGTG Film Fest was happening at the Castro theater, one of the coolest scenes in SF and they were showing some movie by John Greyson called Fig Trees that neither of us had never heard of but the description was befuddling and it reportedly got standing ovations at showings at other film fests. I was floored by the first minute when a tiny statue of an albino squirrel was trotted out, declared to be St Martin and started singing opera. This film was the most amazing combination of serious and silly that I've ever seen - overall it was a documentary about the struggle of AIDS activists to get wide access to retro viral medication, but the serious interviews were mixed up with bizarre ruminations on the prevalence of the word "ass" in the libretto to Gertrude Stein's only opera and mixed media operatic translations of some of the activists' key statements - and somehow none of it cut against the serious-ness of the main work, but leavened it with humor and life. There was one South African woman AIDS activist that was one of the most striking women I've ever seen - every feature was huge - her teeth, her lips, her nose, her eyes, her dreadlocked hair - and she was so full of life and so funny that I could have watched her telling stories on screen for hours. The capper to the whole thing, after all the operatic allusions in the film was an interview with one prominent South African activist who had been on a treatment strike while the pills were completely un-accessible to just about all South Africans - when that situation changed, his organization voted for him to begin treatment. There was a beautiful exchange between the activist and the film-maker, who said, "you took the medication?" "I took the medication." "So you lived." "Oh, yes. I lived." "Well that's not very good for opera." "Not good for opera, I suppose, but much better for me." | |

OFF TOPIC (I can't seem to get my brain to stay on topic for more than a minute or two). Johnny Depp has a reputation as an off-beat character. But a nice guy. Here's a case where he went kinda overboard in being nice to his waiter. ................... Report: Johnny Depp Leaves $4K Tip For Chicago Waiter by Access Hollywood June 24, 2009 CHICAGO, Ill. -- Johnny Depp has previously said that money isn't the key to happiness. But during a visit to a Chicago restaurant, the star certainly brought joy to one unsuspecting waiter with a reported sizable tip. Depp, his "Public Enemies" co-star Marion Cotillard, director Michael Mann, along with about a dozen other folks -- who were in Chicago last week for the premiere of their new gangster movie -- made a stop at Gibsons Steakhouse around 11:30 PM, according to the Chicago Sun Times. Once the bill came around 2:30 AM -- totaling up to a reported $4,400 -- Depp made sure the man who waited on the group into the late hours was well compensated for his time, as Mohammaed A. Sekhani reportedly received a $4,000 tip from the star. "He had visited our restaurant several times before while he was filming 'Public Enemies' and he promised me that he would return after the premiere," Sekhani told Radar Online. According to the longtime Gibsons waiter, Depp and his friends ordered items including shrimp cocktails, Clams Casino, as well as a few expensive bottles of wine. "He also ordered some $500 bottles of Italian wine and he was in good spirits throughout the evening chatting with Mr. Mann and Miss Cotillard," Sekhani added. Generous tip aside, Sekhani said he always enjoys waiting on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star each time he visits Gibsons. "Because he had visited us before he calls me 'Mo' and I know exactly the way he likes to be treated. He may be one of the most famous actors in the world but he is a very 'humble guy' and a really cool dude," the waiter continued. "I have worked with a lot of stars like Sean Connery and Robert De Niro but Johnny Depp is my favorite He is a very soft spoken guy who is very charming and sweet -- when I wait for him he doesn't like to be too fussed over and is not in any way demanding."

I saw "The Proposal" with Sandra Bulloick and Ryan Reynolds. It was a pretty good movie. It's a good romantic comedy with a couple of original jokes and some pretty decent acting. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I was reading something on yahoo news how Transformers 2 is on the list for one of the largest grossing movies but yet got horrible reviews from critics from all around in general. Not surprising really but worth bringing up in my opinion. Just goes to show you how much people tend to see these garbage blockbusters regardless of how good they actually are. Maybe now I know I'm in the minority that actually wants a bit of substance when it comes to watching films nowadays. I really thought most wanted more 'umpf' in their films up until recently :( This really saddens me. Sexted From My iPad | |

I saw Transformers 2 this weekend - it was fun, but the non-action stuff, especially the interaction between Shia and his family was the worst crap I've ever seen in that kind of movie. The mother was made into an absolute retard and it was all really bad writing and acting and the editing on those scenes was absolutely atrocious. It was like Bay had watch Porky's 4 and decided that he was going to emulate that style for the family scenes -- bleeccchh!! But that was a very small portion of the movie and lots of the rest of it was very entertaining. John Torturo, who I didn't like much in the first movie, was brilliant in this movie - over-acting like mad but in a beautiful way. | |

I hate to disagree but entertainment can only go so far in my opinion. Michael Bay is probably the worst director in recent film making history. I don't know, I suppose entertainment these days in the form of special effects and action tends to overshadow the basic forms of which a movie should be when considering the overall aspect of quality. This being acting, plot, and an overall sense of great directing plus script writing. Yes, I'm sure the film was great in terms of blowing shit up and awesome special effects. I just hope this does not become what appears to be nowadays as the form of film making when producing an action movie. I'm not trying to pick on anyone who may have enjoyed the movie due to the action within the film, I just hope the other stuff does not go completely unnoticed by most.

This film, like most other summer blockbusters, seems to just be dumb fun and pure escapism -- though I am unsure what kind of escape "Transformers" could be -- and audiences are just looking for flash and bang, not deep plot and character development. Though I have yet to see either of the Transformers films (they are not exactly on my list of must-see cinema), I do occasionally like dumb, straightforward entertainment that is as shallow and superficial as possible and still be tolerable, but somewhat more simple and classic. The Indiana Jones series is good, as well as the earlier two Terminator films, plus "Die Hard" is classic action, and its setup is not only possible, but has happened in real life, of course with a much more tragic ending. I don't think there is anything wrong with enjoying these films, it is just nothing to brag about, unless you really love watching them. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Yes, the more I say harsh things and think about it the more I do realize there are a fair share of dumb entertainment movies that I lke myself. But, like the list of a few that you said, I just think those were made with greater detail than the blow 'em up movies of today. I do enjoy a movie with just overall entertainment value that try not to take themselves too seriously. But, I think it may just be that lately with these type of movies that come out that do this; they are just not as fun as I remember the older movies that do the same thing. Maybe I'm just biased because I grew up on these but it just seems they are not up to par as the movies of before. Totally agree with you turboshaft. There is nothing wrong with enjoying these movies, however, I do see the greater audience really love watching these films :( Sexted From My iPad | |

Don't feel too bad; my favorite film is "Jaws," which is arguably responsible for every summer blockbuster, good or bad, since its release in 1975. Granted, I think it has much more story to tell than any Bay feature, but its marketing and release tactics started us down the path that have eventually led to the likes of "Transformers 2."

I feel it is my sad duty to report that in addition to the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, the entertainment world has had additional terrible losses: Jeff Goldblum, Harrison Ford, George Clooney, and Natalie Portman are among the list of stars reported deceased this past week. Perhaps the most terrible blow of all is that Britney Spears was declared deceased. Jeff Goldblum, making a valiant comeback, responded to reports of his death by issuing the following statement: "No one will miss Jeff Goldblum more than me," he said. "He was not only a friend and a mentor, but he was also, um, me. Jeff Goldblum's performances combined the muscularity of Brando, the pathos of Streep and the musky sensuality of a pride of baboons. One former conquest raved that sleeping with Jeff Goldblum was like 'being caught in a flesh storm with a 90 percent chance of satisfaction'. That's verbatim." I truly respect Jeff Goldblum as an actor, and am not surprised that he was willing to return to give us this message of faith, hope, and self-love. One article reporting on the presence of all those supposed deaths, along with the quote by Jeff Goldblum on his own death, is at: http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/20090630/en_top_eo/131952 Edited on Jun 30, 2009, 10:09am | |

I understand that personal taste (for porn and food and other factors) can and does vary from person to person. What can still surprise me, at least a little, is how different two people can feel or think about the same item/event/whatever. In the news item below, it was reported that Usher, the R&B star, said he was separated from his wife since July 2008, and that he was filing for divorce. In the same news item, it was reported that his wife was not aware of the separation, that they were "intimately together" less than a week before he started divorce proceedings. Could a guy who is "intimately together" with his wife be thinking that in reality he is separated? Maybe he was just giving her a mercy fuck before he told her about the divorce, and that doesn't count as togetherness. ------------------------------------------ Usher's Wife Thought "Marriage Was Intact" E! Online Natalie Finn - 2 hrs 12 mins ago Los Angeles (E! Online) - Tameka Raymond says she didn't see it coming. Usher's soon to be ex-wife states in a new court filing that she and the R&B star have not been separated since July 2008 and, in fact, were "intimately together" less than a week before he started divorce proceedings. She had "every reason to believe her marriage was intact," her attorney stated in documents filed Monday in Atlanta. But since it wasn't, Tameka now wants to make sure that her estranged husband takes care of all of her legal fees pertaining to the split and continues to support his family financially, per the filing. Usher filed for divorce June 12, checking off "irretrievably broken" as his reason to end the marriage and requesting joint custody of the couple's two sons. The duo swapped vows in a private civil ceremony in August 2007 and brought family and friends into the mix with a more elaborate set of "I do's" the following month. Usher's divorce petition states that they were on the rocks less than a year later. ------------------------------------------ | |

My biggest problem with the summer blockbusters of recent years is that for the most part they are utter crap. They are devoid of any inteligence, good writing, amazing character and memorable scenes. I don't mind that they might be like candy, but that's not what they are now. They are marketing designed special effect filled monsters who's soul purpose is to make you buy something. What happened to movies that told a story first and then made money after the fact. A few blockbusters will stand out but they rarely are the ones that should have but instead those less known movies. Transformers as of monday had made over 220 million dollars at the box office. I haven't seen it yet but I will. I just wish and pray that it's not as bad as some of the reviews I have read or heard. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Money talks. If mindless crap is what sells, then that's what people are going to make. I might not like what sells, you (PU members) might not like what sells, but the American public (teenagers, people in their 20s, 30s, those folks in their 40s if not in the cemetery yet) is the target audience. Movies with a plot or intelligence might be considered a movie niche, sort of like trannys is a porn niche. I am looking forward to Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino, which should be a good popcorn flic. | |

Tarantino - love his stuff I'm all over the map when it comes to movies. Frankly it's just like my taste in porn. I'm a simple man - entertain me and I'm happy. Nude, non-nude, glamour, candid shots, glossy Playboy-type babes or Suicide Girls, etc - If it's done well and turns me on, I'm happy. Early last week I saw a movie that had intensely serious themes and was deeply cerebral, though leavened in a good way with silliness - and I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's a movie that I'll think about for a long time. Saturday I went to see Transformers - it was a silly popcorn movie and it was entertaining. It's not like Transformers pretended to be anything else. As to new blockbusters being so much worse than blockbusters of old - eh, watch some blockbusters of old again - there were some good ones, sure, but there was a lot of crap too - Buck Rogers serials, anyone? woof! | |

I saw Flash Gordon serials (as a child), and thought they were great, exciting serials. I seem to remember Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon. I saw them on DVD a couple of years ago, and couldn't believe how clunky they were. As a young child, I guess I could watch almost anything, and think it was wild, exciting, tremendous. Especially if it was science fiction. Edited on Jun 30, 2009, 10:13pm | |

According to wikipedia. Grigori Galitsin and his wife, who modeled for him under the name "Valentina", were both released from prison in early 2009. However, Grigori Galitsin could be convicted on other charges with up to 8 more years of prison. I don't know the details of what he was convicted of, or what he actually did that was criminal beyond being a photographer of erotic/pornographic photographs and videos. The wikipedia article says he was accused of coercion (through blackmail) to commit a sexual act, and creating pornographic images of minors. But my impression is that the law can throw the book at you because you are a pornographer. He certainly used young-looking models, but I don't know what the legal rules on nudity are in Russia or Europe. David Hamilton used very young-looking models, and I never read of him being put in jail for pornography. | |

Lucky for David Hamilton, he wasn't living in Russia. Given the new vice crackdown in Russia, including the closure of all casinos, according to an NPR that I heard a bit of yesterday morning, Galitsin, and anybody else doing anything that could conceivably be construed as the production of pornography, can not remotely be considered safe from arrest. I'm not sure what this has to do with upcoming movies, but maybe there's an upcoming movie to be made about this topic. | |

I also used to be a fan of these old time serials shows. They don't age well in great part because technology as overtaken them. They tried to remake the show in 2007 but like many things done these days. The idiots tried to re-invent the wheel. The 1980 movie Flash Gordon was great. It was cheesy but that's fine with me. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I don't know if it sounds dorky or not but I'm really anxious for the next Harry Potter. It's already 6 months overdue since it was suppose to come out November 08. Same thing for Star Trek which was pushed to this year. I think Harry Poter is the only summer movie that I'm still waiting for. All the other movies that appeal to me aren't scheduled for release until September and onward. I'm sure the summer box office results will be great this year but it won't be because of me. I have only seen Star Trek out of the anticipated big summer movies and I'm going to go see Transformers. The rest don't seem worth the 12$ it would cost me. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I'm a fan of the Harry Potter films. Whoever is in charge of the film franchise has been very intelligent about using good directors through the series so that as the cast has grown up and the stories have gotten darker, the directors have been up to the task of bringing them to the screen with depth. One of the joys of cable tv is catching portions of movies that are fun to watch in bits and pieces - and the Harry Potter movies - especially the more recent ones - fit into that category. | |

The only thing that I could complain about the Harry Potter movie is that they are too short. I understand that movie lengths are very important for theater box office returns, but this is where you have a big screen version and then a DVD version. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Megan Fox, the hottie from the Transformers movies, stars in Jennifer's Body (2009), to be released 18 September 2009 (USA). A newly possessed cheerleader (Megan Fox) turns into a killer who specializes in offing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror? Stars two great looking female leads, Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried (the female lead of last year's Mamma Mia). Rated R for sexuality, bloody violence, language and brief drug use. This is one movie I wouldn't mind seeing rated XXX, because both girls are lovely, but I doubt we'll be seeing much naked flesh from either one of them, because they are both rising stars, so why would they do nudity? It's not like they are porn stars. | |

I've seen the preview and some stills from the movie so I know that we will at least get some serious partial nudity from Megan. Whether we get actual nudity is less likely. I agree that both actresses are popular at the moment so nudity is not necessary. Of course an actress sometime does nudity so that she can get more mature roles. Megan is 23 and Amanda is 24. Both have been stuck in more or less teenager roles for the last couple of years. I wouldn't mind a decent nude scene but I'll be surprise of there are any on this movie. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I'm excited about the new Harry Potter too. About the runtime.... I could stand for them to be a bit longer, but I think they are about right for kids films. The second film was 2 hours and 40 minutes. They are playing it right now on Family channel stretched out to 4 hours with damned commercials. Most movies are 1 hour and 35 minutes probably so the can be played on TV later in a 2 hour block with limited edits. | |

New Harry Potter movie is quite good - one big emphasis is in the adolescent hormones kicking into high gear and virtually every student is in heat throughout the movie, which produces a lot of humorous moments. I guess they're milking the franchise by doing 2 more movies, when they could do 1. Fine with me. I'm not anxious for the series to end. | |

Not a new movie, but anyone seen Mr Brooks - Kevin Costner as a successful businessman/serial killer. William Hurt is the personification of Costner's voice in his head - prodding him on to more killing. Demi Moore is the detective pursuing him. Great combo for my tastes. Demi is just a passable actress, but give her a character with a limited emotional range and she does fine and is a great looking woman - sexier as she has matured, as far as I'm concerned. I don't get to see William Hurt in good movies nearly enough. He was really brilliant as Richie Cusack in A History of Violence - just a hilarious performance in that film. Costner is on my list of most under-rated actors. I like the way that he under-plays characters while still inhabiting them and he is very good here. It has some similar elements to the Showtime series Dexter, as far as someone that is a serial killer and keeps their personal life together, for the most part. | |

I saw Mr. Brooks, really enjoyed it. Liked both Kevin Costner and William Hurt, even though the critics seemed to trash the movie. The same with 3,000 Miles to Graceland, with Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell, a great action flick that the critics really hated. I don't mind watching mindless popcorn movies, especially if they are done really well. Neither movie did much at the box office. Kevin Costner has been in a box office slump for many years. William Hurt was once considered a major actor, even won an Oscar for lead actor back in the 1980s. But neither actor is "popular" any more. | |

I saw the new Harry Potter movie and I really enjoyed it. The director did an excellent job of incorperating some key elements from the book and adding some new stuff The pacing was escellent. There wasn't any time that I looked at my watch and that's pretty good for a 2:30 movie. This is my seond favorite Harry Potter movie after The Goblet of Fire. Long live the Brown Coats. | |
