Voter Registration
by
The Hot Blog
Whomever you support, you should vote if you are eligible to do so. The Obama campaign sent a URL that I found very helpful. It can get you registered, but even if you have registered, it allows you to check whether you are still properly registered....

Stupidest Protest Ever
by
The Hot Blog
Blind people protesting Blindness . Oy. Blindness is a metaphor in the movie... as it has been forever. The idea that sighted people in their 20s, 30s and older suddenly becoming blind, surrounded by others who are suddenly blind, would not be disoriented...

Nikki Finally Passes Into Unredeemable
by
The Hot Blog
I'll keep it brief. Nikki Finke, apparently exhausted by pretending to report anything, is now exposing exactly what she does and who she is. "Irresponsible, willfully ignorant, mean-spirited hack," comes to mind first. And everyone knows...

A Few Blu-Ray Tidbits
by
The Hot Blog
The first studio to offer Blu-ray screeners to awards voters? Not Sony, as you migh expect. WB. The only question is whether The Dark Knight will land before the real Blu-ray DVD release. Also, WB broke more ground with the release of the Speed Racer...

Is ANYONE Buying This?
by
The Hot Blog
We all know the leanings I share with the majority of commenters on this blog. But is ANYONE actually buying the spin that the Republicans voted down the bailout becaause Nancy Pelosi blamed Bush for the state we are in when she gave a pre-vote speech...

Hot Button - Scottgar Rudgen & Nikkie McFinkey
by
The Hot Blog
I don't know if it's 42 West or Rudin's office itself that is publishing its list of grievances in the guise of Nikki “reporting” the story (aka “opening her e-mail”), but when Nikki is “in possession of plaintive emails from Daldry, and angry...

And now for the next chapter in the Reader saga
by
The Hollywood Reporter: Risky Biz Blog
By Steven Zeitchik There are going to be a lot of people claiming victory in the decision Sunday to release "The Reader" this year after all. Did Harvey Weinstein win because he got the '08 date he wanted over the... Read More...

Newman's own, and everyone's Newman
by
The Hollywood Reporter: Risky Biz Blog
By Steven Zeitchik Paul Newman was a great actor and perhaps as great a man in his private and philanthropic life, which gives obit writers plenty of juicy material but tends to make reading too many of them sound repetitive.... Read More...

The Reader... Coming To Theaters Near You (if you live in NY or LA) On Dec 12
by
The Hot Blog
A joint Weinstein/Daldry press release has been issued. As explained before, no surprise. (Even less so after the Project Runway ruling.) I will post the release when I get to a real computer.
Self-Loathing Dema, Part II
by
The Hot Blog
I was struck by Nora Ephron's "McCain Won The Debate Because Obama Didn't Slap Him Hard Enough" piece on Huffington Post. She was hardly alone. But what a bunch of whinny, self-destructive babies we on the left have become. We are so...
