'New Moon': Which late night studio audience will behave the most inappropriately?

14 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The audience of Jimmy Kimmel Live is off to a strong lead in the competition for Most Inappropriate Response to a Double Entendre Uttered by a New Moon Lead. Kimmel's interview with Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and Robert Pattinson won't air until Friday, the night the film opens, but Hulu has posted an excerpt. In it, Kimmel asks Lautner about his physical transformation. Did you hear he gained 30 lbs. for the film?! I'm tired of typing that, can't imagine how Lautner feels having to repeat it. Perhaps that's why he's trying to vary his answers and producing quotes like this one. »

Robert Pattinson loves 'Reality Bites': Is R-Pattz the new Ethan Hawke?

12 November 2009 5:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

During interviews for EW's upcoming cover story on New Moon, Robert Pattinson revealed that he and I have something most trivial and intriguing in common: an appreciation of the 1994 Gen X drama Reality Bites. "I really like Ethan Hawke in it. And I liked Winona Ryder. Actually, I liked everything," he told EW senior writer Karen Valby. " watching my older sister and her friends when I was 12 and thinking it was all really cool. Like the scenes in their apartments with the candles in the wine bottles. I wish that was still cool—now it's just silly pretentiousness. I just »

Crashville: The Risky Route To Oscar Glory

6 November 2009 10:00 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

In March 2006 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sprung one of its annual surprises by awarding the best picture Oscar to Crash, rather than Ang Lee’s acclaimed gay cowboy drama, Brokeback Mountain. At the time it looked as though racism and multiple vehicular pile-ups had trumped homosexuality in the battle of the “hot button” issue movies. But perhaps the Academy was belatedly acknowledging the kind of ambitious, densely plotted, multi-character dramas made famous by the great Robert Altman. From 1975’s Nashville, to Short Cuts, Prêt à Porter and his 2006 swansong A Prairie Home Companion, Altman allowed audiences to immerse themselves in the cinematic equivalent of a book of short stories. Writer Alissa Quart has characterised these films with multiple intersecting plotlines as “hyperlink movies”, in which, “information, character, and action co-exist without hierarchy”. Now I’m a fan of Altman and I loved Paul Thomas Anderson’s, »

Winona Ryder opens up to "BlackBook"

6 November 2009 8:00 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

If you lived through the late '80s, it’s hard not to have a soft spot for Winona Ryder. Little Noni with her pixie haircut and her big eyes, her pale skin and her goth before goth was even a thing sensibilities. Ten years have passed since her last big splash in the movies with Girl, Interrupted. Since then she has still worked steadily, though often in smaller roles and less high-profile pieces. And she has kept largely to herself and often shunned the spotlight.

So it was great to read her take on her own life now in the new BlackBook interview to promote her upcoming film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. For a person who doesn’t give interviews all that often, she sure gives great copy.

On why her career has slowed:

"One of the worst things you can be is mediocre. I get offered »

tMF Featured Trailer: Ethan Hawke rocks in Daybreakers!

1 November 2009 6:36 PM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

Ethan Hawke may not be as popular as Leonardo DiCaprio or even Jude Law, but there was a time when his name appeared first in billing followed by Law - that's in Gattaca of course! I can still remember the young actor when he played opposite Robin Williams and Robert Sean Leonard in Dead Poets' Society and who can forget Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise and Before Sunset? Oh, how about Reality Bites? I could go on and on, but before I forget - two awesome films - Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and Training Day.

Now, of all characters, he's playing a vampire! Can he bring some kind of 'wonderful' for the beloved (and infamous) fictional character?

A Hillsian New World Order? Why We Need to Love Shows Like Mad Men

27 October 2009 7:39 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Guest article by Sarah T:

There’s a great scene from “Reality Bites” when Winona Ryder and Janeane Garofalo’s characters are sitting in a late-night diner. Ryder is consoling her best friend, who fears she’ll be the template for a new cheesy Melrose tenant, by saying, “Melrose Place is a really great show.” My friend and I at the time thought that was the funniest line ever because we were fans, but we knew the show was dumb. We wanted to be as cool as them, but we certainly didn’t want to be them.

Fast forward a handful of years and now TV is full of Melrose clones and scripted (er, ad-libbed) reality dramas. Instead of art-influencing-life it’s life-influencing-art-influencing-life, creating what I call the Hillsian: the skinny, pin-legged girls in silky, short dresses and dangerously high strappy stilettos.

Winona Ryder

24 October 2009 1:01 PM, PDT | Interview Magazine | See recent Interview Magazine news »

There was a time when Winona Ryder changed everything. She was like the new prom queen-the one who millions of brainy, brunette girls who'd long since disavowed their interest in prom queens had secretly been waiting for. (Some guys, too.) It was Heathers (1988), a groundbreaking, unsentimental (and very smart and funny) film about a pair of high school outcasts (Ryder and Christian Slater) who wind up taking out a handful of the most popular kids at school, that first earned Ryder favored-actress status amongst those of the Generation Formerly Known as X. That early Ryder image-the dark hair, the porcelain skin, the doe-like, knowing eyes, forever threatening to roll upward-very quickly became burned into peoples' brains. It's a singular, powerful image, and one that many directors have deployed in its variations to great effect, from Tim Burton (Beetlejuice, 1988, and Edward Scissorhands, 1990) to Francis Ford Coppola (Bram Stoker's Dracula, 1992) to Martin Scorsese (The Age of Innocence, »

Tonight's Law and Order rips from the Jon & Kate/Octomom headlines

16 October 2009 1:28 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Law and Order has been taking real-life cases for their show for years. Sometimes they take them so much that it wanders into "lazy writing" category and not "inspired by" category. But tonight's episode, "Reality Bites," could be interesting.

There's a murder (duh) but it involves Larry & Joy, who have a ton of kids and are part of a reality TV show. And there's a twist involving another woman who has a lot of kids. Hmmmm...

Jon Gosselin epic fail tour continues: Must give back dough

13 October 2009 8:52 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Reality bites. Especially for former TLC star Jon Gosselin, now court ordered to return $180,000 to the joint bank account he raided last week. A judge ruled Tuesday in Pennsylvania that Jon Gosselin needs to return the funds to his estranged wife Kate, her lawyer says. Kate alleged that Jon left her just over $1000 in a joint account that originally had a balance of $230,000. She told "The View" ladies that she uses that account to pay house bills. Kate's attorney Mark Momjian said in a statement: "The remaining sum of $55,000, which Ms. Gosselin used for household bills and expenses relating to the children, will be subject to further determination by the arbitrator at a later »

Jon and Kate Inspire Law & Order Episode

7 October 2009 3:02 AM, PDT | Hollyscoop.com | See recent HollyScoop news »

Law & Order loves to base their plot lines off of real life current news stories. That’s why it doesn’t surprise us that the Jon Gosselin and Kate Gosselin story is being turned into an episode of the show. The October 16th episode, entitled Reality Bites, will be about a reality show called Larry Plus 10, about a single dad raising 10 adopted special needs children by himself after his wife, Joy, is killed. The New York Post describes the plot: "Detectives Lupo and Bernard (Jeremy Sisto, Anthony Anderson) grow suspicious when it's revealed that Joy Johnson wasn'... »

Tiff ‘09: Daybreakers

24 September 2009 8:19 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Daybreakers Directed by Michael Spierig & Peter Spierig In 2003 the twin Australian filmmakers, The Spierig Brothers, unleashed the no-budget, frenetic, zombie opus titled Undead onto the world. Now after a six year hiatus, they have finally returned with the world premiere of their new movie Daybreakers, at Tiff's Midnight Madness. Daybreakers tackles the vampire genre with all of the energy and enthusiasm shown in Undead, but now with a bigger budget, a more revered cast, and a better script. The vampire film has become almost as tired as the zombie film, but with even greater presence in the mainstream. It's saturated with things like Twilight and True Blood, taking the terrifying Draculas and Nosferatus, and transforming them into pop icons like Edward Cullen. Now the Spierig bothers are breathing some new life into the vampire genre with their extremely inventive second feature. In this world, power has shifted into the hands of the vampires, »

Reality Bites: TV Stars show their true colors!

10 September 2009 10:52 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »

Our Television celebs deliver the impression of a typical character that is assigned to them; then be it anything- from a happy-go-lucky character to a very negative role. But do these stars resemble their on-screen persona? While having chitchat with some Tele stars, we got a bombshell talkback from them, as they showed their true colors. These guys who appear on the idiot box are really contradictory to their onscreen personality!

The fireworks of the duality of our Tele stars went on something like this; let’s take a look on what our favorite Tele Celebs have to say:

What's the most fashionably influential movie of all time?

9 September 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Turner Classic Movies is honoring New York's Fashion Week with a list of the films it has deemed the most sartorially influential of all time. First, a look at their Top 15 (in chronological order): Pandora's Box (1929) Letty Lynton (1932) It Happened One Night (1934) Pat and Mike (1952) Rear Window (1954) Rebel Without a Cause (1955) And God Created Woman (1956) Auntie Mame (1958) Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) Bonnie and Clyde (1967) The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) Shaft (1971) Annie Hall (1977) Saturday Night Fever (1977) Flashdance (1983) Most notable is the '50s- and '60s-heavy lineup -- which perhaps makes some sense, as films were likely the dominant way style was passed from Hollywood to the masses (as opposed to the TV, Us Weekly and internet of today). And there's no arguing with the likes of Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I would deem the most fashionable movie of all time), Bonnie and Clyde, Shaft, Annie Hall, Saturday Night Fever, and Flashdance. »
