5 Things You Might Not Know About 'Say Anything,' 23 Years After The Release Of Cameron Crowe's Classic Rom-Com
13 April 2012 7:03 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
"Say Anything" was not particularly successful on its release. John Cusack was an established star of films like "The Sure Thing," but co-star Ione Skye was basically unknown, and director Cameron Crowe was, despite his writing credit on "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" eight years earlier, not a known quantity. As such, despite rave reviews, it only took $20 million at the domestic box office, and a meagre $733,000 internationally -- indeed, in many territories, like the U.K, it went straight to video.
But over time, partly thanks to the success of Crowe's later work like "Jerry Maguire" and "Almost Famous," and partly because of the slow realization of its brilliance, the rom-com -- which follows the fledgling relationship between ambition-free aspiring kickboxer Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) and valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye), whose father (John Mahoney) is in trouble with the law -- has become one of the most beloved »

'Hot in Cleveland': David Spade to guest star -- Exclusive
27 March 2012 8:10 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
The ladies of TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland — Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick, and Betty White — regularly work opposite great guest stars, from Regis Philbin to Joan Rivers. Well, you can add another notch to that post: EW has learned exclusively that SNL and Just Shoot Me alum David Spade will make his first appearance on the show, in an episode tentatively scheduled to air at the end of May.
Spade, of course, worked alongside Malick — who stars in the show as narcissistic ex-soap star Victoria Chase — for seven seasons on the NBC sitcom, Just Shoot Me. Cleveland »

Well Done, Son: Five Great TV Dads and Father Figures
24 March 2012 7:47 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
A good TV dad is there to dole out lessons. Whether he’s a Cosby-esque dispenser of wisdom or a bad influence who we don’t want to emulate, a TV dad can pass on his years of fictional wisdom to the millions of viewers at home. Equally valuable is the non-related father figure; a boss, perhaps, or a grumpy but loveable teacher. Without their guidance, our favourite characters would lack the support needed to get through their many challenges, and therefore the TV shows we love would be much, much shorter.
Five Great TV Dads & Father Figures:
Martin Crane, Frasier (1993 – 2004)
The Disappointed Father is a common trope. From Friday Night Lights to The Wire, sons have failed to meet expectations since storytelling began. Perhaps they can’t live up to their father’s legacy in a chosen field, or their dads just see them as spoiled, lazy gadabouts who do nothing but waste time. »

John Cusack: 'I'm not a scenester'
19 March 2012 2:58 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Thirty years after making his debut, John Cusack is still a Hollywood outsider. Now 45, the star of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven talks about mortality, his Brat Pack past – and why he wishes he could work a room
John Cusack is puffing on a fat cigar. It's incongruous, seeing him dressed all in cool, casual black, sucking on a Cohiba, like a goth who has crashed a Hollywood mogul's house party. "Yeah, maybe we shouldn't mention the cigar," he says. "I don't want people to think I'm this movie cliche. I'm certainly not a mogul – in fact, nothing could be further from the truth."
I don't think there's any danger of Cusack being mistaken for a movie mogul. But the cigar begins to feel somehow appropriate. The more he smokes it, the more at ease he becomes with it, until he owns that damn cigar and waggles it like a spare, »

A Look At New Graphic Novel Last Mortal
15 March 2012 4:06 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
In graphic novel news, here's a little look at the supernatural noir Last Mortal, which you can get your grubby little hands on right now at comic retailers everywhere. Looks like an interesting premise that has me curious about the rest.
Our friends at Bloody Disgusting had a chat with series creators Filip Sablik and John Mahoney about the kind of thought and detail that undoubtedly goes into each and every panel. Dig on a little bit of that chat below, but make sure you head on over to Bloody for the whole conversation and a look at a few more sketches.
Premise: Alec King is a born loser and a career failure. When he and his criminal partner get in over their heads with an attempted assassination of a mayoral candidate, Alec hits rock bottom and takes his own life... only to discover he cannot die! Collecting the hard-hitting »

Review: Fan Favorites Part Two: The Odd Couple, Cheers, Fraiser
6 March 2012 2:17 PM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
While television at first reflected American culture, it then tried to mold it in the 1950s before giving up all pretense towards reality in the 1960s. The seismic cultural shifts in the latter part of the decade could be felt everywhere, including television. A rule of thumb is that the theater reflects society fastest with television and film following years later. That certainly seemed to be the case as the television series of the latter 1960s began to explore the themes people had been debating in classes and on the streets. It also forced producers to mirror the reality of the day, no longer attempting to display the ideal lifestyle.
Neil Simon was one of the brightest playwrights of the decade, having cut his teeth on live television in the 1950s. His play The Odd Couple became a box office smash film and a perfect vehicle for a sitcom. It »

Adam Wright: More NBC Reunions To Make Them Suck Less
12 February 2012 3:00 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
NBC currently sits in 4th place in the ratings among the broadcast networks. The lowly last place is a tough place to be. Especially for a network that dominated just around a decade or two ago.
So it's hard to blame NBC for resorting to going back in time and giving viewers a taste of the good ol' NBC days. Hopefully fans forget how bad the network has screwed things up, NBC hopes no doubt.
One of the new pilots currently in contention for the 2012-2013 season is Downwardly Mobile, a sitcom starring Roseanne Barr. This will mark the actress' return to the network she helped rise to the top in the 90s with Roseanne. This past week, the travel back in time continued when it was reported that her Roseanne husband John Goodman would be joining her in Downwardly Mobile.
Although they won't be playing spouses (yet) in the new sitcom, »

Lisa Steinberg: The Heat Is On
12 January 2012 3:15 PM, PST | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
It's getting hot in here! The heat is rising and so are the laughs whenever I tune in to an episode of Hot In Cleveland. This TV Land gem has smitten viewers since day one with the phenomenal and effervescent cast, the side splittingly funny writing and dialogue, and the undeniable chemistry that this show exudes no matter what situation these manic ladies find themselves in!
Wendie Malick, Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, and Betty White have struck gold in Hot In Cleveland. The show has proven to be a vehicle that gives each one an extraordinary moment to shine in every episode be it storyline, dialogue or expression. Plus, with four strong standout women, there is absolutely one character that you can relate to or find a relatable quality in. It's no surprise these high quality females are burning up, each one comes from a glorious acting and sitcom background. »
