The Day The Keanu Performance Stood Still
4:30AM STV | The ugly new trend in epic-length movie trailers continues today with the latest teaser for The Day the Earth Stood Still, the remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic creatively recast with Keanu Reeves as a flat-voiced humanoid alien warning Earth’s inhabitants of their impending doom. Quite a stretch, we know (and yes, he has made this one before), but from the looks of the accompanying clip, DTESS is a soaring upgrade from low-budget earnestness to a sort of glossy, glassy-eyed indignance; there is true, brow-furrowing peril in that stilted baritone suggesting his past “would only frighten you.” If only we felt less endangered by the four minutes of line readings that follow from Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Kathy Bates and even Jon Hamm, from whom we expected so much more than bromides about the history of mankind. Believe us, Jon — we know history, and this has all the symptoms of being exactly that. And not the good kind, either. [20th Century Fox] More »
‘SNL’ Prepares For Future Sans Brand-New Baby Mama Amy Poehler
2:20AM Kyle Buchanan | While it is a joyous event that comedians Amy Poehler and Will Arnett delivered their first child, Archibald, over the weekend, we recognise that this development has some downsides, too (though perhaps not the ones implied by the above “circle of child life and death” feature that is currently gracing the front page of Yahoo!). For starters, this marks Poehler’s end on Saturday Night Live, as the new mother will be segueing to her still-untitled NBC sitcom after some well-deserved maternity leave. Just as devastating: Poehler’s unplanned absence from this week’s live taping of SNL forced the audience to sit through a third, hastily scheduled Coldplay performance. Still, at least Poehler ducked out before she had to take part in the painful Barack Obama skit that Lorne Michaels pointlessly lured Maya Rudolph back for. Take a look, after the jump: More »
Defamer Predicts the 2008 Emmys: The Dramas
4:50AM Kyle Buchanan | We’ve already run through our predictions for Emmy’s comedy categories, but now it’s time to sit down for forty-four minutes (excepting commercials) and soberly judge this year’s crop of dramas. Again, we’ll be blogging the Emmys live from the East Coast starting at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT, so if Mariska Hargitay lets loose with an expletive-laden diatribe or Jeremy Piven has a nip slip on the red carpet, you can be sure we’ve got it covered. Now, onto the predictions:
