MTV asks, "Why did Love Guru bomb?" to which I respond, "Are you kidding me?!" Despite my shock (and a little bit of rage) that they'd even ask this question, let alone try to blame Justin Timberlake, I'm going to answer the question. It bombed because of:
- The first trailer, which includes short jokes, cowboy jokes, hockey jokes, offensive religious jokes, alligator "snappy" jokes (no, seriously), and even a penis joke. Lovely.
If you thought being James Bond was dangerous, you should try playing him on screen. Yet another accident has been reported from the set of Quantum of Solace, with reports that Daniel Craig was injured when the tip of one of his fingers was cut off during an action sequence.
Shortly after it was reported that last Sunday's fire on the Universal back lot destroyed the studio's video vault, some sets and that archaic King Kong ride, studio brass came out assuring film buffs everywhere that nothing they lost was irreplaceable. Now there is some indication that that may not be entirely true.
From deities to entire countries, Sharon Stone can't seem to stop pissing people off. Her recent comments intimating that the Chinese government's "bad karma" may have resulted in the catastrophic earthquakes that have recently plagued the region angered a lot of people. Now those comments seem to have gotten her uninvited to some of the few places she's still welcome: Foreign film festivals. A spokesman for the Shanghai Film Festival, a place where just last year Stone sashayed down the red carpet (in a supremely fugly misshapen dress, I might add), sent the 50 year-old actress an angry letter demanding an apology and letting her know that she would not be welcome back anytime soon.
The fire at Universal Studios that broke out at 4:30 a.m. Sunday destroyed part of a set from Back to the Future; the King Kong exhibit; some New York City and New England streetscapes; and, reportedly, a chunk of music history. [Don't worry -- the old clock tower from BTTF is fine. - Z]
