From the NY Times:
Movie stars, who not so long ago vied to make $20 million or even $25 million a picture, have seen their upfront salaries shrink in the last several years as DVD sales fell, star-driven vehicles stumbled at the box office and studios grew increasingly tightfisted.

Obama just hasn’t delivered on any of his big promises. Sure, a lot of it has to do with a feckless Congress that’s ground to halt.

A few days ago I questioned whether or not our resources should have been spent finding a way to capture Roman Polanski for a rape he committed 30 years ago, considering the victim had forgiven him. I just think there may be other crimes more worthy of our attention.

From David Bordwell’s excellent film blog, Observations on film art and Film Art, came this semi-recent article discussing the close relationship of the US military and Hollywood.

Yglesias thinks LFO’s “Summer Girls” is worthy of a Justice Department investigation for being so damn bad. I suppose if our government is going to look into every NFL and MLB scandal, we might as well keep a vigilant eye on the music industry. To save the Justice Department some time in researching the offenders, [...]
