Death from above: Denise Richards makes pre-emptive strike against the elderly

November 10, 2006 /

Recognizing that she is no longer the ingénue she used to be, actress Denise Richards apparently attempted to take out two potential competitors for future “sprightly old lady” roles by assaulting them with a pair of deadly laptops:

Denise Richards had a meltdown on the set of Blonde and Blonder in Vancouver, Canada, on Wednesday when she saw photographers snapping her picture from a third story balcony of the River Rock Casino Resort.

“She went ballistic and approached the photographers screaming,” says an eyewitness.

After trading insults, Richards, 35, launched into a tirade and threw two lap top computers off the third story balcony, hitting two women, ages 81 and 90, sitting on the couch in the lobby.

For the record, one of the two women struck by IBM’s finest technology was reportedly wheelchair-bound…but she still presumably “started it.”

Drunken frat boys sue over onscreen portrayal as drunken frat boys

November 10, 2006 /

It was bound to happen; it was only a question of which group would file the first lawsuit. My money would probably have been on the hostess of “Borat’s” ill-fated dinner party…but as it turns out, it’s the over-privileged fraternity boys who are suing the film’s producers over their portrayal in the movie:

The legal action filed Thursday on their behalf claims they were duped into appearing in the spoof documentary “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” in which they made racist and sexist comments on camera.

The lawsuit claims that in October 2005, a production crew took the students to a bar to drink and “loosen up” before participating in what they were told would be a documentary to be shown outside of the United States.

The young men “engaged in behavior that they otherwise would not have engaged in,” the lawsuit says.

Hmmmm…okay. So under any other circumstances, these upstanding fraternity members would not have gotten drunk, and would not have boasted about, for example, how much fun it is to “screw chicks” and then refuse to call them back. In fact, each of the fine young men shown on camera is in actuality a tee totaling virgin who brings flowers on every date and calls the girl afterwards whether she wants him to or not.

Uh-huh. Okay. Sure. Um, having a hard time getting a date on campus, now, are we boys? What a crying shame.

The Office: Absorption

November 10, 2006 /

First of all, the whole “Future Dwight talks to Present Dwight via the fax machine” bit was the best opening sequence of “The Office”…ever.

Anyway, now that the Scranton branch is absorbing the Stamford branch, things are going to get weird. There is a serious love triangle brewing. Actually, if you include Roy (Pam’s ex), it’s sort of a love bucket. Karen likes Jim and he likes her a little, but he still has feelings for Pam, who likes Jim, but Roy has been hanging around and acting sorta normal, which reminds me:

Roy: Do you know that song “Don’t Know What You’ve Got ‘Til It’s Gone” by Cinderella? That’s pretty much better than how I’d say it…in words.

I love the fact that he has to quote Cinderella to relate that cliché/sentiment.

After an awkward episode or two, I think Jim will try things with Karen (through some sort of miscommunication between him and Pam) and Pam will relent and give Roy another chance. Karen is likable, pretty and funny, and would be a good match for Jim, so that will probably go on for a while. In fact, Karen is quite the catch.

It should be interesting.

This one goes out to Roy, wherever he is…

The name is Smith. KEVIN Smith.

November 9, 2006 /

He’s a writer, he’s a director, but, perhaps most importantly to those who’ve seen his films, he’s Silent Bob. That’s right, he’s Kevin Smith, and he continues to live the dream of every sarcastic, heavyset, facial-hair-sporting, fart-joke-loving comic geek out there…and, trust me, I resemble that remark.

In between his gigs as a major player in Hollywood (relatively speaking, anyway), a pretty accurate barometer of what’s worth checking out in the world of pop culture, and the owner of two – count ‘em – two comic book shops, Smith regularly tours college campuses, delivering a mixture of spoken word and Q&A sessions. A 2-DVD set entitled “An Evening with Kevin Smith” was a huge success upon its release in 2002, and since everyone loves a good sequel (just ask the folks who went to see “Clerks 2”), November 28 brings us “An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder.” Smith kindly spoke with Bullz-Eye about the aforementioned spoken-word stuff and “Clerks 2,” his love of television, and his new gig with MTVU. To our pleasant surprise, what was originally scheduled to be a 15 – 20 minute interview gradually evolved into a 30-minute conversation, one which led us out of Hollywood and into stories of his childhood, a part of his life you don’t get to hear about very often. It might not have been an evening with Kevin Smith, but it sure was a damned enjoyable half-hour.

Check out the interview here, then pop back ’round to offer your comments…
