That quote made my day. And could the poster be any more photoshopped?

Affleck's accent in The Town was so strong it made me do a double take the first time he spoke. Good movie, though.

Dear Hollywood,
Would you please stop rewarding Charlie Sheen for his horrifying behaviour? It is not charming or roguish. He is disgusting.
Thanks, EC

It's so much hypocrisy that they'll rake the women over the coals for their behavior (Lindsay, Britney, Courtney Love, etc), but not so much bat an eyelash at this asshole's behavior. It's all wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

One of the few angry letters I've written to publications was in response to a Details article a few years back about "Whither the Hollywood Bad Boy?" where they basically demanded that actors behaving badly was "cool" and merited the same coverage as Lindsay/Paris/etc's antics. I felt compelled to explain that assholery isn't granted some magical coolness pass just because one has a penis.
Meanwhile -- hey, Hollywood, check out your box office charts of late. True Grit, The King's Speech and Black Swan are all in the Top Ten and will all likely gross $100+ million despite not having 3D explosions or playing in a bazillion theatres. This goes to show that folks still want to see decent movies made for adults and not ADD-riddled teenage boys. Think about that the next time before passing on a compelling drama in exchange for greenlighting Big Momma's House 3.

A while ago there was this list in either EW or People about Hollywood actors the audience continues to "forgive". Such a piece of crap, it was all about white male actors who are loved by the industry and the media. Sometimes I wonder if they really don't understand how annoyed people are. Behaving like the biggest asshole on earth isn't endearing, Hollywood!

Also, check out the movies that dominated the summer: Toy Story 3, Inception, and The Social Network. A heartfelt, character-driven animated dramedy; a complex, artistic, philosophical film that uses action and effects to develop the plot; and a wordy drama about young people. People are willing to pay $12 to see movies that don't insult their intelligence! Write that down!

Dear Hollywood,
Just because a film is up for Best Picture does not mean the top actor and actress in that film automatically should get Best awards also.... and visa versa.

I agree with this but it doesn't really happen that often anymore, does it? In the past five years, "No Country for old men" was the only Best Picture winner that also won an acting award (Bardem in Supporting). Crash, The Departed, Slumdog Millionaire and The Hurt Locker won no awards for acting.
Or I'm being slow again and you mean something completely else? ;-)

My Bad. I should have said nominated for best awards , not actually getting them.
