Ten Bullet Points on Albert Nobbs That You... →
Okay, so the costumers. I could absolutely see them getting Oscar nominated — similar to how I think J. Edgar could get a Makeup nomination — because the clothes, and costuming in general, are so integral to the plot. But, real talk, it’s some seriously crappy work. What, Nobbs couldn’t find a pair of pants that didn’t accentuate his womanly hips? Meanwhile,...

“I have known Joe Gordon-Levitt for going on 12 years. We first met in the summer of 2000 while doing a tiny movie called Manic, where we bonded over a mutual appreciation for Harry Nilsson and Nina Simone and I have been lucky enough to call him one of my dearest friends ever since. When we did 500 Days of Summer 8 years later, we spent every lunch hour dancing to Marvin Gaye in the hair and...

What if the entire Internet’s new year’s resolution (lol) was to stop doing that “Oh, [object of frustration]” two-to-four-word-post thing and instead enumerate in greater detail why the object is so frustrating?
I was hoping the internet’s new year’s resolution would be to stop doing the “What’s a sports? I don’t even know what that MEANS,...

– Debi Mazar’s actual dialogue from “Beethoven’s 2nd” (via bobbyfinger)
I may not have said these two sentences back-to-back like this, but I’m certain I’ve said them.

I so hope that anyone who covers the Huntsman daughters (or anyone who’s still for some reason covering Meghan McCain) has a middle-of-the-night epiphany that children of politicians are only interesting when (a) that politician is the president AND (b) that child is either exceptionally…

On this Occasion of the Golden Globe Nominations

Glenn Close – 101 Dalmatians Madonna – Evita Frances McDormand – Fargo Debbie Reynolds – Mother Barbra Streisand – The Mirror Has Two Faces
Can I please write ALL the oral histories of this race? The subplots! Remember how this was they year they were all “Oh!...

1. Certified Copy
The year’s most subtly intriguing cinematic puzzle is also its best film, a roaming two-hander that’s by turns haunting, confounding, uplifting, and sad. Unnamed art-dealer She (Juliette Binoche) and visiting author James Miller (William Shimmell) wander through the streets of a rustic Italian village, encountering presumptuous baristas, sacred shrines, and...

…where you see a show and afterwards you talk about how all of the wigs were pretty good EXCEPT for that one that was GODAWFUL and HIDEOUS and I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LET HER ON STAGE WITH THAT HAIR and SHE LOOKED LIKE ANNIE and then you go to her website and see that, in fact, that was her real hair?
Me too.
You are a LIAR. This cannot be true.
So Tyler Coates is probably going to yell at me when he gets out of the musical I just walked out of at intermission. But in my defense, he did try to convince me that Cedric the Entertainer was dead at dinner. So really, we both have a lot to answer for.

Whitney Houston showed up on the Miley Cyrus Show last night to warn Miley about the dangers of drugs, and it’s officially the best gift a guy who’s been sitting in his house all day could ask for.
YES YES YES.
New Tumblr Idea

Things that were better before Justin Bieber was a thing. It would be called “Better Before Bieber” (duh). The first thing would obviously be Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and I think the second would be Usher and the third would be the world and then I’m out of ideas.
