Kanye and Jay-z Are Soundtracking French Campaign Ads Now
24 April 2012 7:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Truth time: Vulture is not exactly up on French presidential politics, so thanks to Pitchfork and Slate for directing our attention to this bit of video weirdness. It turns out that Francois Hollande, a French Socialist candidate challenging current resident Nicolas Sarkozy (you know, the one married to Carla Bruni) has released a campaign video using Watch the Throne's geographically appropriate "N*ggas in Paris" as its soundtrack. The video shows Hollande campaigning in the outer boroughs of Paris as citizens of various races happily hold up their voting cards; Pitchfork notes that Sarkozy has a complicated history with the poor Parisian suburbs, and that "Hollande is possibly trying to underscore that relationship." Whether or not "Paris" is the wisest way to make that point is a different question, but Slate realized that "Creil," the town featured prominently in the video, is pronounced "cray," (as in, "That shit cray") and »

Tsr Exclusive: ‘Damsels in Distress’ interview with actress Greta Gerwig
17 April 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
With a start in independent films like Nights and Weekends with “mumblecore” director Joe Swanberg, actress Greta Gerwig has recently expanded her quirky prowess to larger films, both from the independent and Hollywood scene. Recently, she played Russell Brand’s on-screen love interest in Arthur, playing the part once made famous by Liza Minnelli. Now, she’s in Damsels in Distress, the latest movie from Metropolitan and The Last Days of Disco filmmaker Whit Stillman.
In the vibrant comedy Damsels, Gerwig plays a college student named Violet, an eccentric character with an unusual circle of friends. As tap dance-loving Violet falls into a “downward spiral,” her group of friends incorporate a new student (played by Crazy Stupid Love’s Analeigh Tipton) into their deadpan world of boys, suicide prevention centers, and the “Sambola.”
I sat down with Gerwig to talk about her unique character, the difference between working on a »

How About Oscar Ceremony Back in Spring?
14 March 2012 4:09 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Jean Dujardin Perhaps I'm the only person on the planet who thinks that the Academy Awards ceremony should once again be held in late March or early April. I believe that would have several advantages. (Photo: Richard D. Salyer / ©A.M.P.A.S.) For instance, the Oscars would no longer be just one more awards ceremony during the frenzied awards season; instead, it would have its own slot, far apart from the "lesser" ceremonies preceding it. Just as importantly, by having the Oscars stand apart from awards-season madness, favorites could lose their momentum weeks before Oscar ballots would be due (whether by mail or via online voting) — which theoretically might mean more frequent surprises. And finally, a later date would give Academy members more time to watch, consider, rewatch, reconsider the usual 35-45 nominated movies — or any of each year's 250+ eligible movies, as an Oscar ceremony in the spring »

The Artist: Making Oscar History
6 March 2012 3:05 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The Artist: Jean Dujardin, Michel Hazanavicius, James Cromwell, Uggie, Bérénice Bejo, Thomas Langmann, Penelope Ann Miller, Missi Pyle In the picture above are several cast members of Best Picture winner The Artist (Uggie, Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, Penelope Ann Miller, James Cromwell, and Missi Pyle), in addition to director-writer Michel Hazanavicius and producer Thomas Langmann. The Artist made Oscar history by becoming the first Best Picture winner solely produced by a non-English-speaking country: France, with some financing from Belgium. The Artist was also the first silent — well, apart from one line — Best Picture Oscar winner since William A. Wellman's Wings won the Best Production Academy Award (not yet known as "the Oscar") and F.W. Murnau's Sunrise was voted the Best Unique and Artistic Production in early 1929 — at the Academy Awards' first ceremony. That year there were what amounted to two types of Best Picture categories: Best Commercial »

TV review: Dirk Gently; Empire
5 March 2012 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The more you think about it, the less sense Dirk Gently's chaos theory makes
'I think my husband's having an affair," said Dirk Gently's first client of the day. "Boring," the private detective replied. How refreshing, when everyone else is yielding to economic imperatives, that one man is taking a stand for the intrinsic interest of their work over its earning potential.
Seconds later, Gently took the case. Principles don't pay the rent. In episode one, he was living on a diet of extra-strong mints he'd stolen from a corpse and driving an Austin Princess, the go-to motor to suggest your hero is broke, effete and zanier than Zooey Deschanel, if less utterly irritating. He hadn't paid secretary Janice for ages. "Show him in," he said when the next client arrived. "You show him in!" Janice snarled from the front office. Why she shows up for work at »

With a trip to Paris in the 20s the subject of Woody Allen's Oscar contender, we've been wondering which bookish era we'd most like to revisit
Amid all the noise for The Artist, which looks set to clean up at the Oscars as it did at the Baftas, we on the Guardian books desk are gunning for another cinematic nostalgia-fest harking back to the same period. In the running for Best Picture, but with the bookies only giving it a 100/1 chance of winning, Midnight in Paris has been hailed as a return to form for Woody Allen, and described as a "perfect soufflé" by the Observer film critic Philip French. It might not have a performing dog, but it does have Papa Hemingway in a vest roaring "who wants a fight?" Like The Artist it is a warning against the dangers of romanticising the past as a Golden Age, »

Carla Bruni Statue Causes A Stir
13 February 2012 1:22 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Nogent-sur-marne, France (AP) — Residents are blasting a plan to erect a statue with a face resembling that of France's Italian-born first lady in an effort to honor this small town's immigrants from Italy.
Opponents say that Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the elegant former top model from Turin, Italy's moneyed class, has no link to this blue-collar town east of Paris.
Mayor Jacques Martin, a big supporter of President Nicolas Sarkozy, denies claims by Socialist rivals that the likeness of the first lady is a political move — and said Monday that he stands by his plan.
The 8-foot-tall (2.5-meter) statue will go up in a square in the Little Italy development under way to pay homage to Italian immigrants who settled here. Men often worked as masons and women in the feather business.
"I don't see what Carla Bruni is going to do here," said resident Catherine Pelle. "She's not from the area. »

Midnight in Paris: Woody Allen’s ode to the City of Love
4 February 2012 11:27 PM, PST | DearCinema.com | See recent DearCinema.com news »
Midnight in Paris is a subtle romantic drama with a comical touch that has a little bit of almost everything: be it magic-realism, romance, phantasm, voyeurism, surrealism or even noire. It wouldn’t be a hyperbole to proclaim that everything that Woody Allen learned and gained during his long stint in Cinema culminated in the form of Midnight in Paris – An ode to the City of Love, and its most celebrated denizens of the past. Driven by the very impetus that gives Cinema its resonant charm, Woody Allen the auteur has seen his art go from strength to strength, taking new shapes and forms, being completely oblivious of the existence of his larger than life alter ego, Woody Allen the showman, whose stimulating works have been a treat for us all for last so many decades, and who himself has been a force to reckon with, right throughout his long »

Cruz To Beam Down Over New York Fashion Week
1 February 2012 2:01 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
New mum Penelope Cruz will be glaring down at the style savvy attending New York Fashion Week later this month from a massive anti-fur billboard.
The actress' 'Give Fur the Cold Shoulder' PETA poster has been unveiled on a high-rise in the Big Apple's Meatpacking District, where the top shows will be held during Fashion Week, which begins on 9 February.
PETA Vice President Lisa Lange tells WENN, "Penelope Cruz has appeared on every best-dressed list in the world, and the one thing you'll never see her wearing is fur.
"PETA couldn't ask for a more fitting emblem of the modern, glamorous woman who knows that there's nothing more beautiful than a woman who has a look that kills without anyone having to die for it."
Cruz is the latest fashion icon to speak out against fur - first ladies Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy have declared that they would never wear real fur, as have PETA campaign stars Charlize Theron, Oprah Winfrey, Pink, Pamela Anderson, and Eva Mendes. »
