once seen grappling outside the Skybar It may be hard for some of you youngsters to believe, but long ago there was no Paris vs. Lindsay; no Angelina vs. Jennifer; no Paris vs. Nicole; no Paris vs. Good Taste. Those were heady, wild times, but they lacked the pop culturey sting of a solidly disrespectful inter-celebrity slapping.

So it’s with no small amount of glee that we share with you a recent addition to the “Ask Barry” page of Brady Bunch icon Barry Williams’ website:

From chavalabobby@yahoo.com:
When I was watching The Brady Kids were you ever compared to Fred Jones and did you ever watch Scooby-Doo?
Barry Williams:
No and no. Who is Fred Jones?

WHOA, SNAP! Before now, we never put much thought into the potential turf wars between Greg Brady and Freddie Jones - their oeuvres are so varied, so dynamically juxtaposed - but obviously there’s some bad blood there. Hopefully we’ll see a response from the Jones camp later today in which Freddie points out that, despite the rampant lifestyle philosophies that informed his fans’ generation, Freddie was never implicated in 1) trying to get it on with his onscreen mother or 2) struggling through a scene while baked out of his mind.

I have a feeling there’s a LOT we don’t know…oh. Actually, that’s not true. We probably know too much already.

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)
