Nothing Says Hollywood Like ‘Old Lesbians’
1:04AM Richard Lawson | Today old people do fun, romantic things. A great TV actor gets a chance to play second-fiddle in a movie. Lesbians go front and centre, as do aliens. Also, Grey’s Anatomy is everywhere. More »

Outraged Activists Suggest ‘Full Blindness’ is the New ‘Full Retard’
8:10AM STV | You really can’t make this stuff up: If it’s not the developmentally disabled failing to grasp the point of Tropic Thunder’s “full-retard” satire, then it’s the blind protesting a movie they can’t even see. Or so says the president of the National Federation of the Blind, who sat in on a recent screening of the Julianne Moore/Mark Ruffalo film Blindness with a few sighted allies, only to emerge outraged over the depiction of townspeople reduced to madness and violence when struck by a blindness epidemic. Based on Nobel laureate Jose Saramago’s novel, the film actually reflects the author’s metaphor of sudden, corrupted social order; little did Saramago know he was actually composing the Simple Jack of modern literary allegories.

12:22PM Jess McGuire | As someone who is attempting to finish up with my deadly tobacco habit – yes, again – and who also happens to be four days clean and feeling smug (well, as smug as one can be when also suffering from what feels like a fifth bout of cataids this winter, and coughing up a lung every two minutes), I felt an incredible bond with Julianne Moore after learning her decision to end her addiction led to her becoming the incredible person she is today, or something along those lines.

Today in Cannes Hell: Thieves, Bad ‘Blindness’ and Jack Black Battling Pandas
2:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Some day we’ll bite the bullet and experience the magic of the Cannes Film Festival first-hand, but in the meantime, there are advantages to keeping one’s distance. For starters, we’re insulated from the horrors of marketing rituals like the one foisted on the international press this morning, when Jack Black strolled into Cannes with a few dozen minimum-wage costume slaves panda bears in support of his upcoming Kung Fu Panda. As evidenced by the accompanying video, much hammy ass-kicking and a sort of loin-churning, interspecial sexual chemistry ensues. More »
What’s Stopping Cannes From Embracing Bleak New Julianne Moore Film?
7:25AM Defamer Hollywood | The Cannes rumour mill is whirring at full speed again today as the trades pick up whispers that the Julianne Moore/Mark Ruffalo drama Blindness is likely to occupy the opening-night slot. The Toronto Star is saying it’s a done deal, but it’s not official, and we’re not so sure; with barely two weeks remaining before the May 14th opener, word over the Defamer transom suggests that Blindness is bad enough to make festival programmers wait — and make distributor Miramax stall — before committing the plum spot to a stinker.

11:37AM Seth | Great news for aspiring actors residing in the greater Pittsburgh area who just so happen to also be inbred: A casting notice for Julianne Moore thriller Shelter seeks background players to play the famed deformed mountain folk of West Virginia. Or, as they put it, “Extraordinarily tall or short. Unusual body shapes, even physical abnormalities as long as there is normal mobility. Unusual facial features, especially eyes… 9-12-year-old Caucasian girl with an other-worldly look to her…Could be an albino or something along those lines — she’s someone who is visually different and therefore has a closer contact to the gods and to magic. ‘Regular-looking’ children should not attend this open call.’” [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review] More »
