Watercooler: Parks and Recreation Strikes Gold

Parks and Recreation This show is so damn good, it can even make tax audits a joy. Even though it lost out at the Emmys, by pairing the bro-com-that-could-be of Ben helping Tom Haverford balance Entertainment 7twenty's books with the Ron's impending audit at the hands of his "hellacious nightmare" of a first ex, Parks and Recreation still brought home comedy gold last night: A staggeringly funny script. Patricia Clarkson in Emmy-worthy shape as the soulless, gold-digging control freak that is Tammy One. Megan Mullally, ever sharp as Tammy Two. Just enough bits with Tom's asshat sidekick Jean-Ralphio. And the deeply unsettling history of Ron's sexual awakening - complete with a visit to the Swanson homestead and the debut of Tammy Zero (his mother, played by SNL writer Paula Pell). It was, as Rob Lowe's Chris Traeger would say, litch-er-ally perfect. In fact, the only thing this episode was missing was perhaps a viewer warning about the graphic content - we really do need to be prepared before seeing Nick Offerman's alpha-male mustachioed god as a clean-shaven "neutered wimp"! But even that had us laughing our assets off. What about you? Think P&R an embarrassment of comic riches last night? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!

Bad Movies We Love: Cool World

What do you get when you take the cartoon/live-action interplay of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, remove the classic WB/Disney characters, and replace them with loud, gurgling, predatory sexual freaks? You get goofy gonorrhea and the 1992 bomb Cool World starring Moneyball-er Brad Pitt, a perverted young Gabriel Byrne, and Kim Basinger, an Oscar winner who exhibits the dramatic range of Claudia Schiffer. This movie’s bad because it’s drawn that way. The idea of Cool World is intriguing, particularly in the hands of pioneering animation director Ralph Bakshi, who gave us the X-rated coup Fritz the Cat in ‘72. We’re dealing with an underworld where cartoons and live-action humanoids (called “noids” here) interact, saunter about suggestively, and exhibit a frightening horniness unseen since Alan Alda announced he had a “terrific hard-on” in Same Time Next Year. Yikes. In Treatment star Gabriel Byrne plays incarcerated cartoonist Jack Deebs, a kook who is zapped into the very cartoon world he created, “Cool World.” There, he encounters his curvaceous, nymphomaniac heroine, Holli Would (Kim Basinger, who shifts in and out of cartoon form) and a hard-bitten detective named Frank Harris (Brad Pitt), who is about as emotive as a sleep-deprived Kellan Lutz. The rest of the plot is anyone’s guess. I think the raunchy toons take over? The cartoonist is in trouble? Kim Basinger is wearing an awful pink, pleated outfit? Jessica Rabbit dismisses the whole movie with a flick of her mane? The freakshow of Cool World becomes so random and ridiculous that it all blends together like runny paints on a palette, but there’s no mistaking the lovable badness when it jumps on-screen. Here are Cool World’s five stupidly great moments. 5. Did I mention that Gabriel Byrne wants to nail his drawings? In the following sequence, Byrne lands in Cool World and reaches madly for Holli, who is undulating like a teenage runaway on MTV’s The Grind. If the frenetic, synchronized dancing of the other cartoon characters doesn’t give you nightmares, the hair-raising music should disturb your subconscious with the fury of a possessed chainsaw. The idea of wanting to screw a cartoon — particularly one drawn by the artist himself — is confounding. Can you picture Jack Dawson finishing his sketch of Rose Dewitt-Bukater, dropping the sketch on the floor, and humping it in front of her? Or Paula Abdul writhing atop a cocky, suspendered MC Skat Kat? Straight-up, this movie is twisted. 4. Naughty animation innuendo! Cool World should win hundreds of Oscars, Saturn Awards, and Purple Hearts for its insistent use of drawing puns. The terms “pencil dick” and “doodles” are whipped around like racquetballs. I hope real cartoonists appreciated this. I can just picture Garry Trudeau experiencing a sexual rush as Holli salaciously traps other toons in a pen, or Charles Schulz surrounding himself with Pigpen clouds of pheromonal incense. 3. David Bowie creates an actually cool world — with song! No slick, hypersaturated blockbuster is complete without a high-profile theme song, and David Bowie’s “Real Cool World” adds bad-ass, Batdance-ian flair to Cool World. “High-profile” is a relative term, of course, as this came nowhere near the Billboard charts; America had far too much Vanessa Williams music to buy at the time. I assume David is singing about a for-real cool place where Iman, Ziggy Stardust, and some Labyrinth dwarfs hang out and play gin until it’s time for a futuristic fashion show. I can’t imagine he’s crooning about a horny cavalcade of cartoon characters, for some reason.

Cheers & Jeers: Sending a Playboy to Do a Man's Job

Eddie Cibrian Jeers to Eddie Cibrian for exposing his acting shortcomings on The Playboy Club. Want more Cheers & Jeers? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine. The role of Nick Dalton - a politically ambitious Chicago attorney with gangland ties on NBC's overheated period drama - requires an actor with a Jon Hamm-esque heft. Cibrian, who's arguably better known for his tabloid-magnet romance with LeAnn Rimes than his work on previous Monday-at-10 pm dramas like CSI: Miami, Third Watch, and Chase, is more like a ham-and-cheese sandwich. Cibrian is far from The Playboy Club's only problem: Revising history so that scantily clad, sexually harassed nightclub waitresses are now portrayed as some kind of proto-feminist trailblazers is a reach, to say the least (ABC's new Pan Am makes a far more convincing case for stewardesses as pioneers). And Hugh Hefner's croaking narration makes Club feel like a particularly deadly episode of Tales from the Crypt. What did you think of Eddie Cibrian - and The Playboy Club?

Will The Lone Ranger Ride? Guarded Optimism Disney Film Is Alive Again

EXCLUSIVE: The very first time since Deadline broke the shocking news that Disney had drawn the plug due to an enormous budget about the Gore Verbinski-directed The Lone Ranger with The Actor-brad Pitt and Armie Hammer, associates let me know that situations are beginning to find information about for that film and there's now optimism the picture might really get made. Back on August 12, Disney derailed a movie which had a December 21, 2012 release date since the budget choose to go towards the stratosphere. Associates feared the film might cost $275 million, though my sources in those days stated the filmmakers had already taken $tens of millions of out and first got it to $232 million. Whichever of individuals amounts you embrace, that’s lots of dough for any Western, also it’s most likely not coincidence this standoff happened following the mega-budget Cowboys & Aliens tanked, and demonstrated to become among the summer time’s greatest debacles. Disney drawn the plug and initially required the film be introduced lower to $200 million producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski happen to be trying for any number nearer to $215 million. Deadline has reported Depp won’t result in the movie without Verbinski, his director about the first three Pirates from the Caribbean films and Rango, so it's an exciting or free proposition as this film would not get made with no world’s most bankable male star. Verbinski’s difficult challenge is to pare costs while retaining the spectacle that made the film worth making to begin with. Bruckheimer, Depp and Verbinski have made salary credits to find the film made. We ought to come with an answer shortly, but don’t be amazed when the Lone Ranger rides again. Disney Dilemma: The Actor-brad Pitt Won’t Make ‘Lone Ranger’ Without Gore: Verbinski & Bruckheimer Bring Lower Budget To Studio Disney’s Wealthy Ross Wants ‘Lone Ranger,’ But Is His Gore Verbinski Omission Telling? Surprise! Disney Halts The Lone Ranger With The Actor-brad Pitt And Gore Verbinski

Jermaine Jackson: Michael Was Supposed To Be In World Trade Center On 9/11

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jermaine Jacksons new book, You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brothers Eyes, is a look at his late brother Michaels rise to fame and tragic death. In a new interview, Jermaine gave Access Hollywoods Billy Bush a preview of the candid memoir where he revealed that his brother was supposed to be in The World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. My mother had stayed up with him all the way until four in the morning and he just slept; he missed his appointments, which was great, Jermaine told Billy, saying Michael a long time sufferer of sleep deprivation had planned to attend meetings in the Twins Towers that day. My mother told us that he was fine, Jermaine recalled. The brother of the late pop star also opened up to Billy about Michaels alleged drug use. [Michael] was not a drug addict, Jermaine told Billy. Following a harrowing accident while filming a commercial for Pepsi in 1984, where the singer suffered second-degree burns, Michael began a battle with chronic pain and a search for ways to treat it. He had a problem with pain, Jermaine said of his brother, who died in 2009, leaving behind three children, Prince, 14, Paris, 13, and 9-year-old Blanket. [He] didnt want them exposed all over the tabloids so he covered them, he told Billy. In the book, Jermaine writes that it was Michaels ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, who first wanted the children to shield their faces while in public. Then we knew at some point in time they wanted to unveil and just be kids and so thats what theyre going through now, theyre having a ball, he explained. What about his children right now? Do you see Michael in any of them physically? Resemblance-wise? Billy asked. I see Michael in Blanket, I see other family members in Paris and Prince, Jermaine said. The former Jackson 5 member also spoke about his brothers 1993 sexual abuse allegations, claiming, Michael paid them off because this is what they wanted [it was his way of saying,] Leave me alone because I didnt do anything, and that [the pay-off] goes to show you. Tune in for Jermaines interview with Billy on September 14 on Access Hollywood and part two on September 15. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.

Actor Cliff Robertson dies at 88

Robertson in 2001Actor Cliff Robertson, who won an Oscar for "Charly" and saw his profile increase again, at age 79, thanks to a small but important role in the first "Spider-Man" pic, died Saturday, Sept. 10, of natural causes, a day after his 88th birthday.Classically handsome, Robertson was usually better than his film roles, and he proved that by winning the Oscar in 1968 for "Charly," in which he played a retarded man who achieves temporary mental brilliance after an experimental operation. Robertson had played the role on television and secured the rights to make sure he would star in the feature as well.Robertson's Oscar brought him the kind of visibility he had worked so hard to achieve after almost two decades of work in theater, television and films. But the actor felt his career was adversely impacted in the wake of the 1977 David Begelman check fraud scandal. Begelman, then head of Columbia Pictures, had forged a $10,000 check made out to Robertson and cashed it. Robertson's whistleblowing brought him into collision with Hollywood's old-boy network, of whom Begelman was a member in good standing.In addition to "Charly," he will be remembered as the man President John F. Kennedy hand-picked to play him in the film version of "PT 109," an account of Kennedy's WWII exploits. Other high points included the features "Picnic" and "The Best Man," the TV version of "Days of Wine and Roses" and his 1966 Emmy-winning performance in "The Game," an episode of "Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre."Though Clifford Parker Robertson III was born into wealth in La Jolla, Calif., he was raised by his maternal grandfather, his parents having divorced soon after he was born. His mother died when he was still a toddler.After attending Antioch College and working at the nearby Springfield, Ohio, newspaper and radio station, Robertson decided on an acting career. Upon graduation, however, he tried to enlist in the armed forces only to be turned away because of a problem with his vision. He ended up in the Merchant Marine for the remainder of WWII.After the war he moved to New York and tried to land an agent. He worked several odd jobs and toured with the Stanley Woolf Players, working the Borscht Belt in stock dramas. In 1948 he landed a role in the Chicago company of "Mister Roberts" and toured with it thereafter for the better part of two years. More theater work ensued, none of it particularly distinguished.After Robertson appeared in "The Wisteria Trees," Joshua Logan's adaptation of "The Cherry Orchard," in 1953, the director cast him in a supporting role in the film version of "Picnic." In 1957, he appeared in the original production of Tennessee Williams' "Orpheus Descending."After "Picnic," he landed the male lead opposite Joan Crawford in the melodrama "Autumn Leaves" in 1956.Robertson's roles in the 1950s and '60s in films such as "The Naked and the Dead," "The Girl Most Likely," "Gidget," "All in a Night's Work" and "Underworld U.S.A." were largely undistinguished. He did professional work in films like "The Big Show," "The Interns" and "My Six Loves," but none of those pics ignited either.Much of his best and most challenging early work came in television, including the lead in "Days of Wine and Roses" (a role he lost to Jack Lemmon in the film version), "The Game" in 1966 and "The Two Worlds of Charlie Gordon" (which would become the film "Charly"). He also made notable appearances on "Wagon Train," "The U.S. Steel Hour," "The Twilight Zone," "The Untouchables" and "The Outer Limits."In 1966 he appeared as Shame, the cowardly villain, in several episodes of the "Batman" TV series.His film career got a kickstart when he was selected by President Kennedy in 1962 for "PT 109," based on John F. Kennedy's exploits in WWII. Though the film was patriotic propaganda, the attention was just what Robertson had been looking for to separate him from the pack. Slightly more visible (though not much better quality) roles followed including the action adventure "633 Squadron," "Masquerade," "Love Has Many Faces," "Up From the Beach" and "The Honey Pot," and he delivered a fine performance as a ruthless presidential candidate in "The Best Man," based on Gore Vidal's acerbic political drama.With the film version of "Charly," Robertson finally hit paydirt, winning the Oscar for his sensitive portrayal of a retarded man who temporarily has his IQ lifted through an experimental operation, only to descend to his normal state at the end. It was the perfect Academy Award vehicle, eliciting tears and respect.In its wake, however, he often chose action vehicles like "The Devil's Brigade," "Too Late the Hero," "Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies," "Midway" and "The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid."In 1971 he tried his hand at directing "J.W. Coop," a well-received tale of a would-be rodeo champion in which he starred in the title role. Later, in 1979, he directed "The Pilot," a less successful drama.He enjoyed good roles in Robert Redford's "Three Days of the Condor" and Brian De Palma's "Obsession" and several TV projects including "Washington: Behind Closed Doors," "My Father's House," "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," "The Man Without a Country" and "Two of a Kind."But his onscreen life was for a time overshadowed by the Begelman affair. In 1977, he received a W-2 tax statement for $10,000 from Columbia for money he had never received. Inquiries led to excuses from Col, but Robertson stubbornly pursued the matter until the connection with Begelman was uncovered (Begelman had forged other checks totaling $40,000). The incident would eventually force Begelman out of Columbia. But not soon after he resurfaced at MGM and then as head of his own production company. Begelman committed suicide in the mid-1990s.Robertson, then a board member of SAG, told interviewers that his career lost its momentum as a result of incurring the displeasure of the old-boy network. He did get the occasional bite in Bob Fosse's "Star 80," "Brainstorm," "Wind," "Renaissance Man" and 1996's "Escape From L.A."He more frequently worked in television, as a regular on Falcon Crest from 1983-1984, and in TV movies such as "Ford: The Man and the Machine" (as Henry Ford) in 1987 and "Dazzle" in 1995. In 2003 he had a recurring role on NBC's brief D.C. drama "The Lyon's Den."In 2002's "Spider-Man," Robertson played Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, whose murder is a formative moment in the life of the young superhero. The actor also appeared in flashback scenes in the second and third entries in the film franchise.Robertson's first marriage to actress Cynthia Stone, the ex-wife of actor Jack Lemmon, produced a daughter, Stephanie. In 1966 he married actress and heiress Dina Merrill. They had a child who died from cancer, and they divorced in 1989.Robertson's funeral is set for Friday in East Hampton.

This Month in Movie History: A September 2001 Timeline

For Hollywood, September 2001 started out like any other September, full of film festivals, dealmaking, and the release of Oscar-bait movies. Of course, like everything else in America, the movie business was shocked and horrified by the events of 9/11 and quickly came together to respond to the tragedy. Looking back a decade later at the events of that month, it's remarkable how quickly things returned to business as usual. Hollywood kept greenlighting the same kinds of movies, and stars kept behaving (aside from their generosity in the days after the attacks) with their usual personal abandon. Here's a timeline of the movie news of September 2001, full of both landmark events and typical Hollywood business. The Week of Sept. 1 - 7 September 1 • Anne Heche marries cameraman Coley Laffoon. The couple will split in 2009. • Geena Davis marries plastic surgeon Reza Jarrahy, who is 15 years her junior. It's the fourth marriage for the 45-year-old Oscar-winner. The union will produce three children. September 2 • Low-budget horror flick 'Jeepers Creepers' surprises with a strong $13.1 million opening to win the Labor Day weekend box office. September 3 • Kate Winslet announces her separation from director Jim Threapleton, her husband of three years and father to their daughter, Mia. • John Grisham's recently filmed movie 'Mickey,' starring Harry Connick Jr. as a father who enrolls his too-old son as a Little League ringer, is delayed by its similarity to the real-life scandal of overaged Little League World Series star Danny Almonte. The movie will sit on shelves for another three years before vanishing at the box office after a limited 2004 release. • Influential New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael dies at 82. September 4 • Mark Ruffalo has to drop out of M. Night Shyamalan's 'Signs' because of ear surgery. Joaquin Phoenix replaces him in the alien-invasion drama that will become one of 2002's biggest hits. September 5 • The new 'Austin Powers' sequel gets a title: 'Austin Powers in Goldmember.' Mike Myers gets a reported $25 million for the third installment. The film will go on to become a big 2002 hit and launch Beyoncé's film career. September 6 • Chicago Little League coach Bob Muzikowski unsuccessfully sues Paramount to stop the Sept. 14 release of 'Hardball,' a movie loosely based on his life, arguing that the film defames him by showing the coach (Keanu Reeves) pushing the kids and has scenes of the players using profanity -- both violations of league rules. September 7 • George Clooney plans to reunite with his 'Peacemaker' co-star Nicole Kidman for his directorial debut, 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.' Eventually, Clooney will make the movie with Julia Roberts instead and release it at the end of 2002. The Week of Sept. 8 - 15 September 9 • 'The Musketeer' debuts at No. 1 with $10.3 million, on its way to a total gross of $27.1 million. It defeats two fellow newcomers: the Vivica A. Fox romantic comedy 'Two Can Play That Game' and the Mark Wahlberg-Jennifer Aniston musical drama 'Rock Star.' September 10 • Sam Rockwell signs on to play the lead role in George Clooney's 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.' • Keanu Reeves tells the press at the Toronto Film Festival that he appeared in the previous year's serial killer thriller 'The Watcher' only because a friend forged his signature on the contract. September 11 • In the wake of the morning's terrorist attacks, most of show business grinds to a halt. In Los Angeles, movie production shuts down. In New York, entertainment companies' corporate headquarters are evacuated. Movie theaters throughout the nation shut down. The Union Square cineplex in downtown Manhattan becomes an ad hoc shelter. • The Toronto Film Festival cancels all of the day's planned screenings. Celebrities there to promote their films are stranded as North American airports shut down. • Studios start rethinking the releases of completed films with potentially insensitive content. Disney's 'Big Trouble,' a comedy that involves the smuggling of a nuclear bomb aboard a jetliner, gets pushed back from Sept. 21 to an indefinite date in 2002, and its press junket is canceled. Warner Bros. delays the scheduled October 5 release of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Collateral Damage,' involving the destruction of a skyscraper by terrorists, until the following year, and the studio takes the movie's website offline. Sony yanks the trailer for 2002's 'Spider-Man,' which contains footage of Spidey using a giant web to trap a helicopter between the tops of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. September 12 • Independent film companies housed in lower Manhattan, including Miramax, Artisan, and Good Machine, remain shut down and inaccessible. • Paramount Classics decides to postpone the scheduled September 21 release of 'Sidewalks of New York,' Edward Burns' suddenly frivolous Manhattan romantic comedy. September 13 • Entertainment conglomerates, including AOL Time Warner, News Corporation (parent of 20th Century Fox), Disney, and Viacom (parent of Paramount), pledge millions of dollars in aid to families of emergency workers who responded at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Screen Actors Guild pledges $50,000 to the first responders' families. • Sony revises plans for shooting the climax of 'Men In Black 2,' which was to have taken place at the World Trade Center. The new climax will take place at the Chrysler Building and will require changes only to the green-screen background in post-production. • DreamWorks decides not to postpone the October release of 'The Last Castle,' about an uprising at a military prison, but it pulls ads showing the American flag flying upside-down as a distress signal. • Oscar-nominated actress Dorothy McGuire ('Gentleman's Agreement') dies at 85. September 14 • 'Hardball' and 'The Glass House' are released as scheduled. Prints had been shipped to theaters before the terrorist attacks halted all air travel. • Though Robert De Niro's restaurants and production company, housed in TriBeCa (just north of the World Trade Center), have been shuttered all week, he gets his chefs, along with other top New York restaurateurs, to organize a food drive for relief workers, ferrying 500 meals at a time by boat to lower Manhattan. Months later, De Niro will help revitalize the economically devastated neighborhood and its many independent film companies by launching the Tribeca Film Festival, which is now gearing up for its 11th edition next spring. •'The Time Machine' gets an indefinite postponement, due to scenes involving the destruction of New York by fragments of the exploded moon raining down on the city. • Julie Andrews, Mira Sorvino, Anthony LaPaglia, and Barbara Hershey drop out of scheduled appearances at Spain's San Sebastian Film Festival. Andrews, who was to have received a lifetime achievement award, says it would be insensitive to celebrate herself "while the entire world is mourning." The Week of Sept. 16 - 22 September 16 • 'Hardball' grosses just $9.4 million at the box office, but that's enough to win on a weekend when no one feels much like going to the movies. The sports drama eventually earns $40.2 million. Debuting in second place, thriller 'The Glass House' earns $5.7 million, on its way toward an $18.0 million gross. September 17 • Tom Hanks, George Clooney, and Jim Carrey are the first movie stars to sign on to an all-star relief telethon scheduled for Sept. 21. • New York City begins issuing film permits for Manhattan again, now that borough police who were busy at Ground Zero are freed up to watch over movie shoots. • Another film postponed over imagery is indie drama 'People I Know,' which contains a shot of the World Trade Center towers on their sides, as seen through the perspective of a woozy Manhattan publicist (Al Pacino). Director Dan Algrant's home and editing room, both in Lower Manhattan, have been inaccessible since the attacks. The film eventually is released in the U.S. in 2003. September 18 • The Oscar ceremony is supposed to move to the new Kodak Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in 2002, but the Academy threatens to keep it at the Shrine Auditorium unless the mall where the new theater is located agrees to beef up security, including a bomb sweep on the day of the show. • Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, and Robin Williams sign on for the weekend's TV telethon, now dubbed 'America: A Tribute to Heroes.' • Screen Actors Guild president William Daniels phones President George W. Bush and offers the services of movie stars in whatever way the White House sees fit. The union says that the call is "warmly received" and that the administration may enlist stars for personal appearances, public service announcements, and fundraisers. Other outreach efforts between the administration and Hollywood will follow over the next few months, but little will come of them beyond a TV movie, 'DC 9/11: Time of Crisis,' which critics will argue paints the Bush administration's reaction to the attacks in far too rosy a light. September 19 • Jim Carrey pledges $1 million to the families of the victims. • Disney postpones the Christmastime release of action comedy 'Bad Company,' in which spies Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock must thwart terrorists threatening to blow up lower Manhattan with a nuclear bomb. The film flops when released in summer 2002. • Indie distributor Lot 47 postpones the U.S. release of Canadian dark comedy 'Waydowntown,' which includes a fantasy scene of bodies plummeting from an office tower. The film gets released in a handful of theaters in early 2002. September 20 * Hollywood studios go on lockdown after the FBI alerts them to a possible terrorist threat in response to any potential U.S. bombing of Afghanistan. On the studio lots, tours and screenings are canceled, audiences for TV tapings are sent home, all packages are X-rayed, metal detectors are installed, and armed guards are posted. Nervous employees at Universal and Sony go home. The threat never materializes. • Movie stars added to the roster for 'America: A Tribute to Heroes' include John Cusack, Danny DeVito, Goldie Hawn, Salma Hayek, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Brad Pitt, Chris Rock, Meg Ryan, Adam Sandler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lucy Liu, and Sylvester Stallone. Some will make on-air fundraising appeals; others simply volunteer to man the phone banks and take pledge donations. • Postponed by nine months is the September shoot for the Jennifer Lopez thriller 'Tick-Tock,' in which she is to play an FBI agent who must find a series of ticking terrorist time bombs placed throughout Los Angeles. As it turns out, Lopez will never make the movie. September 21 • 'America: A Tribute to Heroes' attracts as many as 89 million viewers and raises $200 million for the United Way's September 11 Telethon Fund. It provides the model for ad hoc disaster relief telethons throughout the next decade. One of the telethon stars, Julia Roberts, pledges $2 million of her own money. • The Academy settles its security dispute with the Hollywood & Highland mall, allowing the Oscar ceremony to move to the new Kodak Theatre in 2002 as scheduled. The Academy Awards are still held there to this day. • Director Barry Sonnenfeld, whose movies 'Big Trouble' and 'Men in Black 2' were both affected by the attacks, says he has no idea how 9/11 will change film. "Anyone who says they know what will happen with Hollywood is wrong," he tells TV Guide. The Week of Sept. 22 - 31 September 23 • 'Hardball' remains the No. 1 movie at the box office, earning another $8.1 million. • Mariah Carey's musical 'Glitter' becomes one of the most notorious flops of recent years, opening at No. 11 and grossing just $2.4 million on its way to a total haul of just $4.3 million. September 24 • Chris Rock and Jamie Foxx are among the performers who offer their services to the USO, should they be called upon to entertain American troops fighting abroad. Over the next decade, with Americans fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, there will be many such USO tours involving a broad spectrum of stars. September 25 • Greenlit movies include romantic comedy 'Deliver Us From Eva,' starring LL Cool J and Gabrielle Union, and action movie/spy thriller 'xXx,' starring Vin Diesel and Samuel L. Jackson. 'Eva' makes barely a ripple at the box office in 2003, but 'xXx' becomes a blockbuster hit in summer 2002 and spawns a sequel. September 26 • Arnold Schwarzenegger sues a gaming company for $20 million over a line of 'Terminator'-themed slot machines using the star's image without his permission. • Both Sandra Bullock and the Academy make $1 million pledges to relief efforts. September 27 • Paul McCartney announces plans for an all-star fundraiser at Madison Square Garden, to be telecast live on Oct. 20, called 'The Concert for New York City.' Among the movie stars scheduled to appear are Jim Carrey, Gwyneth Paltrow, and John Cusack. McCartney commissions legendary documentarian Albert Maysles -- who co-directed 'What's Happening! The Beatles in the USA,' a chronicle of the band's triumphant arrival in New York in 1964 -- to follow him around the city again as he prepares for the benefit. The show turns out to be a rousing success and raises $35 million, but Maysles' footage goes unseen by the public until September 2011, when the finished film, 'The Love We Make,' debuts on Showtime. • Blockbuster video stores start labeling recent releases thought to have content that viewers might consider disturbing following 9/11. The first film labeled is the explosion-filled 2001 thriller 'Swordfish.' The video chain also cuts its order for copies of the film by 30 percent. There's no label for older movies that touch on terrorism, like 'Die Hard' and 'The Siege,' which become popular rentals in the wake of the attacks. • Angelina Jolie donates $1 million to a United Nations fund targeted toward Afghan refugees. In July, she'd visited Afghan exiles in refugee camps in Pakistan, camps whose ranks would likely swell if the U.S. were to attack Afghanistan. For years to come, Jolie's movie career and her philanthropy in humanitarian crisis zones and her movie career would run on parallel tracks. In 2007, she'd earn acclaim for 'A Mighty Heart,' playing Mariane Pearl, widow of journalist Daniel Pearl, captured and beheaded in Pakistan in 2002. September 28 • Ben Stiller's 'Zoolander' becomes the first film altered because of 9/11 to reach theaters; the twin towers had been digitally scrubbed from shots of the New York skyline that included the World Trade Center. • MGM bumps Nicolas Cage's World War II drama 'Windtalkers' from November to summer 2002 out of fear that moviegoers won't want to see a war movie, or that another barrage of nonstop TV emergency news coverage could spoil the film's expensive ad campaign. • Richard Gere lands the male lead, opposite Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, in 'Chicago.' The Broadway musical adaptation is released in 2002 and wins several Oscars, including Best Picture. • Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver donate $1 million to the Twin Towers Fund, benefiting families of emergency workers. September 30 • 'Don't Say a Word,' a creepy kidnapping thriller starring Brittany Murphy and Michael Douglas, debuts at No. 1 with $17.1 million. Over the course of its run, it earns $55.0 million and becomes one of the biggest hits of Murphy's career. • 'Zoolander' opens in second place with a solid $15.5 million. Eventually, Ben Stiller's fashion-world satire earns $45.2 million and becomes a cult favorite.

New Hay Dogs Clips Online

Action! Drama! Suspense! Bible class!Clips from Fishing rod Lurie's incoming Hay Dogs remake happen to be appearing in some places going back couple of days, but Collider has helpfully collated all of them into one place (together with some behind the curtain footage). A couple of them lick on Mike Peckinpah's well known original, although the first is a brand new addition. Within the first, James Marsden's preppy David Sumner may be the victim of the identical road-based practical joke that befell Dustin Hoffman, as well as in the 3rd we obtain a replay from the scene between Hoffman and Susan George (her role is performed by Kate Bosworth this time around) by which Amy Sumner accuses her husband of cowardice. The center scene is totally new, however, as Alexander Skarsgard's apparently devout Charlie menaces Marsden outdoors a chapel service. Some talk between your two regarding coveting thy neghbour's wife looks to become a lead into the business that constituted the original's most infamous sequence.... Why remake Hay Dogs? It is a moot point, but director Fishing rod Lurie told Empire lately it had much related to top tips from Hoffman: Forget Peckinpah it is simply a goddamn story, and a high quality one. Don't repeat what Mike did. Put your personal spin onto it after which you'll genuinely have something. That spin includes casting the sports Marsden because the anti-Hoffman making Sumner a author rather than a math wizzard (coming back him towards the career he's in Gordon Williams' source novel The Siege of Trencher's Farm) transposing the experience from Cornwall towards the American Deep South and draining out a number of Peckinpah's bleaker philosophies. I am not by any means from the original Hay Dogs, Lurie told us. This is an amazing use real artistic value. It is simply which i personally reject Peckinpah's look at mankind! Alongside Marsden, Bosworth and Skarsgard (who had been cast while he so impressed the producers in Generation Kill), Hay Dogs features the welcome go back to the screen of James Forest, in Peter Vaughn's role because the pathological paterfamilias Tom. It's in the United kingdom on November 4. For additional from Fishing rod Lurie, browse the current problem of Empire. He accustomed to write for all of us, you realize. And today he's a large-shot Hollywood director and we are all.... grrr.
