Movie|Line "what the box office skeptics are missing about Super 8"?
In Contention does not like Super 8. "Super h8ted it" Uh oh.
Just Jared Dakota Fanning's High School Graduation. Congrats Dakota!
Mister Hipp "sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it" - just lovely. Still my favorite Tim Burton film.
Kenneth in the (212) Thelma & Louise, 20 years later (in Toronto.) Awwww I ♥. Sadly, Brad Pitt was not there.
Tom Shone loves Melanie Laurent in Beginners. As do I.
The Critical Condition has a really interesting question/thought about Marion Cotillard in Midnight in Paris. NOTE: Don't read it until after you've seen the movie!
Splash Page talks to Chris Evans about working on The Avengers.
X-Men "Born This Way" Parody.
Teehee. Fun lyrics although some may quibble about Magneto not being... that other way.
Finally, Scott Feinberg shares the nominees for the 1st annual BTJA "Critics Choice" Awards. Mad Men cleans up but the interesting part is the Emmy-diversion details: Glee is nominated but Jane Lynch is the only cast member with a nomination; they're absolutely nuts for all AMC shows; and Southland got a nomination for Shawn Hatosy (yes!) but not for Regina King (boo!). If you watch Southland you'll know that Hatosy's role got crazy intense this past season as his screen partner Kevin Alejandro was killed (so that he could sex up Lafayette on True Blood... or was that a post-job-loss career get?) and Hatosy's character broke down hard. But the MVP of this show is still Regina King. Go Regina!

I love Melanie Laurent! she deserves to be the next it french girl. I am getting bored of Cotillard, thank god she was not in begginers. Melannie was perfect for the part.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the critics choice awards showing Friday Night Light some major love.
In the case of the CCT Awards being yet another precursor award, I'm all for it! There really isn't THAT many TV awards leading up to the "big" one aka The Emmy Awards and if these smaller critic groups have some sway on them, it's only a plus. Most of the nominees are inspired and probably something the Emmys won't nominate. In time.
Thank you! Someone recognizes the genius that is Regina King in Southland. The first time I watched the show, I thought if someone else gets the Emmy it will be the biggest travesty since Polly Walker's nomination snub for Rome (both seasons). Trust me folks, if you have not seen her in this, she is AMAZING.
I adore Marion Cotillard. <33 I plan to see Midnight in Paris soon. *can't wait*
I don't get this whole "Woody's best in years" mantra at all.
All the female characters are just SO annoying! And yes, we all know Marion is a fascinating goddess but can someone in Hollywood give her a REAL character to play?
The Edward Scissorhands finale is easily one of the greatest ever. Hopefully, both Tim and Johnny will get their mojos back soon!
