Billy Bob Thornton is a Jackass

Skip to the about 6 minute mark.

Speaking of something that wasn't funny . . .

I'm sorry. I don't want to keep pointing out that emperor doesn't have any clothes on, but Tom Cruizzz's cameo in Tropic Thunder was (outside of his first scene) actually pretty excrutiating.

It's pretty sad this year to see the once unstoppable Jerry Maguire having to embarrass himself by dancing to whatever trashy rap song it was in a rather mediocre Ben Stiller film just to get people to forget how crazy he is and come back onto Letterman and the Today Show with his tail between his legs so people will go see a movie about Germans with American accents trying to assassinate Hitler.

But, really, there's no reason to get self-righteous about the Golden Globes. There were dozens of people who should've made it in over him, but they didn't. The best we can all hope for is that he doesn't win.

Thomas Newman Has Never Won an Oscar

This man has given us the scores to American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, Little Women, Road to Perdition, and Jarhead to name a few.

Really. The thought makes my head spin. Why, it's almost . . .

Joaquin . . . oh dear

I'm sorry, but you're ridiculous.

Why am I watching this show right now?

This show is absolutely terrible. Really, I don't see a point in ranting against it since no one is forcing me to watch. But, still . . . nothing gives me less hope in the future of our nation than the fact that this was green lit. Oh, and CLARK GABLE'S GRANDDAUGHTER IS ON THIS SHOW! Why? Why?!

Yeah, no.

I don't need to see that, Brad. I mean, thanks for donating all that money in support of gay marriage or whatever BUT, really, I don't need to see that.

And anyway, do you want your privacy or don't you? Like, go ahead and complain about the paparazzi and tabloids if you want, but don't turn around and sell W magazine pics of your wife lactating.

And Now For a Non-Film Related Post

President Bush on Russia's military actions in Georgia:

"Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century."

Interesting . . .

Want to Know What REALLY Bothers Me?

When the people making movie posters put the wrong name next to the actors' faces.

Since when does Colin Firth look like Uma Thurman?

I mean, really . . . what's the point. They're not listed alphabetically. Why can't they just put the names in the right place?

By the way, this poster is pretty awful. It looks like they dug through the studio photo archive and put them all together on a computer. In fact, that's probably what they did do. That would explain why Jeffrey Dean Morgan's arm is coming from nowhere.

Hey, Hollywood Foreign Press

No Once? Not even for best song? Are you kidding me? But you have PLENTY of room for Evan Rachel Wood's Lonely Hearts Club Band?

And what's all this The Great Debaters business? I can understand the snub of Into the Wild . . . you obviously just don't want Sean Penn to come to your big party. It's ok, I wouldn't either, but still. It hurts me.


On the bright side, good call on Bryce Dallas Howard. She rocked that movie.

The Golden Compass boycotters . . .

The pictures grow when you click 'em.


If you look on Facebook, there are SO MANY groups like this. It's hilarious and tragic at the same time. I chose this one, really, because it's clear the person who started it really doesn't know anything about the books outside of a two sentence synopsis they read on the internet somewhere.

My favorite, though, has to be this one:


Read it and you'll figure out why.

Today in Bull Shit

Listen, Nic...can I call you Nic? Listen Nic. I honestly couldn't give a shit if you've had cow fat injected into your lips or whatever. I mean, you have. It's obvious you have, but I'm not one to judge. Hell, Jane Fonda's composition is probably more Mattel than anything else at this point, and she's still as amazing in my eyes as she was in the '70s.

The thing is, though, JUST DON'T LIE ABOUT IT! It just makes me people start scrutinizing. Do you remember when every Gawker, Perez, and 17-year old with a computer was posting before and after shots of Ashlee Simpson's nose? Do you want that? Do you?

Just shut up, dye your hair red again, start a steady diet of solid food and sunlight, and hopefully we can all go back to being good friends.

XOXO RJ

P.S. Congrats on the hot hubbie. Seriously, where does one find a hot Australian country singer who lives in Nashville? I wouldn't believe it existed if I didn't see it in tight jeans and holding a guitar with its strong arms...


You totally beat Maverick.

EDIT: This is NOT the same person.
