New Steelers Throwback Jerseys: Awesomely Terrible Or Terribly Terrible?
17 April 2012 3:46 PM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »
As a connoisseur of high fashion and person who sees things online and says “what a stupid thing!” (I’m mostly the former), I couldn’t help but be fascinated by these just-announced Pittsburgh Steelers throwback uniforms, which hearken back to the actual shirts the team wore in the 1932 season (Click For Full Size): Ehhh, I give them a B-Plus, in the sense that they are ‘Plus’ the amount that jerseys should look like Bees. To further honor the 1932 season, The Steelers are also adopting an Eddie Cantor fight song, a team-wide medical regimen consisting entirely of nerve tonic (ideal to balance the body’s prime footballing humors!), and all the players will be 150 pounds, white, and play for Yale or Navy. In short, I’m really looking forward to this. Though I definitely would’ve preferred the Steelers’ far more streamlined 1933 jerseys. »

Historic Mary Pickford Building Destroyed
6 April 2012 11:16 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Mary Pickford Building: The Lot aka Pickford-Fairbanks Studios Los Angeles just got uglier. Despite protests, the Mary Pickford Building on West Hollywood's The Lot has been destroyed by its current owner, the Cim Group. (See video below.) The Lot, as previously reported on this site, was built in the 1910s, when it was known as The Hampton Studios. Silent-era superstars Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks purchased the place, which they renamed the Pickford-Fairbanks Studios. That's where Pickford's and Fairbanks' 1920s blockbusters — Robin Hood, Rosita, Sparrows, and The Thief of Bagdad among them — were shot. Renamed the United Artists Studios, it also became the workplace for the likes of Charles Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, Norma Talmadge, Constance Talmadge, Gloria Swanson, and others. Independent producer Samuel Goldwyn also worked on the lot, where he made most of his later films: Frank Tuttle's Roman Scandals with Eddie Cantor, Titanic's Gloria Stuart, and »

Save Pickford-Fairbanks Studios Protest Today
1 April 2012 12:45 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks: Pickford-Fairbanks Studios Filmmaker Allison Anders will be present at a protest "to lead all supporters" of the old Pickford-Fairbanks Studios, which is set to be (at least partially) torn down in the near future. Located at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Formosa in West Hollywood, the studio currently known as The Lot was bought by the Cim Group, which intends to expand facilities by demolishing near-century-old buildings. The protesters, who have named April 1 "Pickfair Day," are scheduled to assemble outside The Lot at 1 p.m. According to the Save Pickfair Studio website, protest organizers "will, as time and technology allows, be live tweeting and blogging our protest." Organizers suggest that protesters should "bring your friends and all the press," in addition to video and phone cameras. They explain that street parking shouldn't be a problem on a Sunday. I'd never heard of the »

Historic Warner Hollywood Studio to Be Torn Down
26 March 2012 5:31 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Herbert Marshall, Bette Davis, The Little Foxes The historic Warner Hollywood Studio, now known as The Lot, is to be torn down, reports the Los Angeles Times. In its place, current owner Cim Group will erect "glass-and-steel structures." Los Angeles doesn't have enough of those, does it? The powers-that-be in the city of West Hollywood have apparently given the go-ahead to Cim. First to go will be the Pickford Building, erected in 1927, and then the Goldwyn Building, erected in 1932. When all's done, that'll be the end of one more Los Angeles landmark. [Update: According to one source, not every building on The Lot will be torn down. I'll be updating this article as I get more detailed information.] Located at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Formosa Avenue, the Warner Hollywood Studio was initially known as the Hampton Studios, and later as the Pickford-Fairbanks Studio, the United Artists Studios, and the Samuel Goldwyn Studio. Warner Bros. acquired it in the 1980s, but sold the property at the turn of the century. Currently, HBO's True Blood is shot there. »

Greer Garson, Joan Crawford: Deceased Honorary Oscar-less
17 February 2012 4:01 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Walter Pidgeon, Greer Garson in William Wyler's Mrs. Miniver Honorary Oscars and Women Pt.2: Doris Day, Danielle Darrieux, Joan Fontaine, Maureen O'Hara On the list of film industry women who have yet to receive an Honorary Award, I did not include Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, Maggie Smith, Glenda Jackson, Luise Rainer, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, Sally Field, Jodie Foster, and Jessica Lange because each of them has already won two acting awards. Barbara Kopple, Thelma Schoonmaker, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, for their part, have each already won two Oscars for, respectively, documentary feature, film editing, and screenwriting. Barbra Streisand, I should note, has also won two Oscars; the second one, however, was as co-composer (with Paul Williams) of the song "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born. Only someone like Elia Kazan — i.e., with friends in high Academy places — can have two Academy Award wins in a »

Mary Tyler Moore Mary Tyler Moore speaks onstage during the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards broadcast on TNT/TBS from the Shrine Auditorium on January 29 in Los Angeles, California. Dick Van Dyke, with whom Moore had co-starred in The Dick Van Dyke Show in the early '60s, presented her with the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award. (Photo by John Shearer/WireImage.) The 75-year-old Moore, who has suffered from a series of health ailments including diabetes and brain surgery to remove a benign tumor last year, looked quite frail while accepting her trophy. She was greeted by the longest standing ovation of the evening. Her acceptance speech was about how there were too many Mary Moores already registered with SAG back in the 1950s. As a result, she decided to use her father's middle name, Tyler, as part of her own show business moniker. Moore — whose television heyday was in »

Moore, who has suffered from a series of health ailments including diabetes and brain surgery to remove a benign tumor last year, looked quite frail while accepting her trophy. She received the longest standing ovation of the evening — twice, in fact, as people stood up to applaud her even though all they got to see the first time around were a series of samples of her long film and television career, in addition to clips showing her »

Mary Tyler Moore Mary Tyler Moore, the 2012 recipient of the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award, attends the 18th Screen Actors Guild Awards broadcast on TNT/TBS from the Shrine Auditorium on January 29, 2012, in Los Angeles, California. Dick Van Dyke, with whom Moore had co-starred in The Dick Van Dyke Show in the early 1960s, handed her the award. (Photo by Lester Cohen/WireImage.) The 75-year-old Moore's acceptance speech was about how there were many Mary Moores already registered with the Screen Actors Guild back in the '50s. That's when Moore decided to use her father's middle name, Tyler, as part of her own show business name. Curiously, Moore — whose television heyday was in the '60s and '70s, and whose most important film roles were in the '60s and early '80s — has never been nominated for a SAG Award. Previous SAG Life Achievement Award winners include Stan Laurel, »

Blu-ray Review: Boardwalk Empire – Season 1
10 January 2012 8:19 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Once upon a time television was where people who used to be in the movies went to die. I’m not qualified to pinpoint the exact moment where that all changed, but it definitely has. Arguably American cable channel HBO has trumped the movies, wedding the slick production values and top talent of Hollywood with a format that allows for vastly extended running times. This has enabled complex and incredibly dense dramas (like The Wire, Deadwood and now Michael Mann’s Luck) to flourish, telling stories that just wouldn’t fit comfortably into two hours – aimed at a mature audience driven from the multiplex. Martin Scorsese – director of the pilot episode of the phenomenal Boardwalk Empire – has likened this elongated form to the novel, effectively positioning movies as short stories by comparison.
The first season of Boardwalk Empire is as eye-catching and exciting a marriage of »
