Variety writes 3 BORING Articles About Movie Blogs!
I love it when BIG online magazines spend a lot of time researching subjects. Today Variety posted 3 articles on Movie Blogging. And, man, they’re a snore. A lot of words, very little compelling subject matter. Here they are in case you have trouble sleeping tonight:
- Hollywood’s blog smog
New idiom presents conflict of interest - Tempest of the ‘toldja!’ journalists
Entertainment bloggers turning facts into fights - How I got blogged down
Variety’s Mike Fleming analyzes the blogosphere

I Love You, Man is Loved; Knowing Not So Much
Looks like Alex Proyas has given us another stinker. Since Dark City and The Crow, he has failed to deliver on the genius of those films. Garage Days was lame (44% on the Tomatometer). I, Robot (54% on the Tomatometer) was underwelming. Looking at the reviews, it looks like Knowing is even worse than the previous two with 25% on the Rotten Tomatoes “Tomatometer.”
On the other hand, the non-Apatow comedy, I Love You, Man is getting better-than-expected reviews (82% on the Tomatometer). Paul Rudd is showing he can be a great comedic leading man. First with Role Models and now with I Love You, Man I’m sure we’ll see more Paul Rudd flicks in the future.
See quotes from reviews of these films along with links to the reviews after the jump.

LOL! Name Nic’s Movie Do Game
Although he’s won Oscars you have to admit, Nicolas Cage has sported some really horrific hair. He’s one of those actors I want to love, but especially recently with The Wicker Man, Next and now Knowing, Nic is making it hard. Today I found this game on Rotten Tomatoes. Who knew Nic Cage’s hair would be so fun?
