I thought it was just because the sky is grey and I’ve been been listening to this Belong EP, which basically sounds like a prolonged death rattle, but now that I’m reporting the second major story about people losing their jobs in the past couple of hours, I’m starting to feel like it’s not just me. The whole internet feels like the ... [More]"

This morning longtime Premiere film critic (and occasional SpoutBlog commenter) Glenn Kenny used his blog to announce that his “position at Premiere.com is being terminated.” Glenn says he’ll keep up his Premiere-hosted blog if he can; otherwise, he’s looking for freelance work. The comments on h ... [More]"

Brolin as Bush
By Karina on Karina on SpoutBlog
" Entertainment Weekly’s cover story is peek at pre-production on W, Oliver Stone’s much-discussed George W. Bush biopic. That’s Josh Brolin above, in makeup for the lead role. In the story, we learn: That script that seemed too parodic to be true was apparently at least two drafts away from the shooting script. Bush historian Robert Draper on that early script: “[I]t just misse ... [More]"

By Karina on Karina on SpoutBlog

By Karina on Karina on SpoutBlog
" I’ve been tracking the odd pop cultural situation that awaits this month’s release of The Tracey Fragments for awhile now. The film, which I’ve written about before, stars Juno phenom Ellen Page; it premiered at Berlin in 2007 and played tons of festivals, but by year’s end had failed to secure U.S. theatrical distribution. Then, in February of this year, when Page was at the p ... [More]"
