watch - its eyes follow you all over the room Being asÂ Web- and blog-obsessed as we are (and thanks for OUTING us, Spectorbrain), we tend to come across a lot of things that are just…well, wrong. Creepy. Defying additional comment. Easy to throw together into a quick post. And yes, we’re already planning to have nightmares about the creepy glassy-eyed doll picture.

Here’s what’s just wrong with the world today:

X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner feels guilty about destroying his idol Spielberg’s Memorial Day weekend box office gross record - but not guilty enough to, you know, feel bad.

In related Ratner Bits, here’s a strongly-felt, well-written X-Men review. Dude is ANGRY! (via goldenfiddle)

VH-1 will air a Very Special Episode of its celebrity-adoration-but-really-veiled-hatred program The Fabulous Life focused on…wait for it…Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.Â The show will weave “expert interviews, field segments and candid footage,Â [giving] viewers a rare glimpse into the world’s most fabulous baby.” As an added bonus, you will Fabulously hate yourself after watching this episode!

If you’ve never tried therapy, here’s a little shove down the road of madness: celebrities Photoshopped to look like clowns.

US Weekly speculates - with pretty stunning results -Â about who some celebrities might resembleÂ in 20 years’ time.

Actor Sean Bean will step into the role of The Hitcher in the latest example of Needless Hollywood Remake Fever. Yeah, we’re with KimÂ Morgan on this one.

David Duchovny leaves a Starbucks with his daughter. And he’s wearing a big, silly hat. (via Celebrity Nation)

11.20.2008Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)

11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)
