Film Critic Slams Most Of Hollywood

 

 Film Critic Slams Most Of Hollywood

British film critic David Thomson basically went NUTS on Hollywood this morning. The ­Editor of The Biographical Dictionary Of Film ripped apart almost every A-lister I can think of during an interview with The Daily Mail. Here is just a sample of what he had to say about today’s top celebs:

• HUGH JACKMAN: He is hot (I suppose). Now, he just needs to be interesting.
• KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: She is ­astonishingly beautiful. But Keira is about as interesting as a creme brulée where too much refrigeration has killed flavor with ice burn. She is still more credible as a faintly animated photographer’s model than as an actress.
• BEN AFFLECK: On one hand I have always had a soft spot for Affleck. But my other view is that he is boring, ­complacent and criminally lucky to have got away with everything so far.
• BRAD PITT: Hardly anything he touches now is less than ‘precious’ and ‘awesome’ — it can’t be long before he begins to look very tired.
• HILARY SWANK: In nearly everything she has done, she has been pretty, dull, ordinary and incapable of lifting the film clear of a sanctimonious mud.
• JENNIFER ANISTON: She’s in her 40s now and her £5 ­million-a-movie career ­cannot go on for much longer. But rather in the manner of Doris Day, while one can make gentle fun of Jennifer Aniston, it’s hard to dislike her.
• DREW BARRYMORE: I can’t help finding it shocking, as well as startling, that Drew Barrymore was born so recently (in 1975), and yet seems to have been here, and a problem, for so long.
• GEORGE CLOONEY: It’s clear, as he approaches 50, that George Clooney is the most liked actor in U.S. ­pictures. And it is also clear that he knows it.
• MATT DAMON: What’s most interesting about Damon is the very lack of good looks — and the feeling of a squashed and rebuilt face.

Drew Barrymore Likes Her Fringe

What do you think of Drew Barrymore's more off-beat style? I'm a fan. She's in London promoting her new movie (with on-again/off-again boyfriend Justin Long) 'Going the Distance,' and she was spotted leaving her hotel this morning as well as returning last night.

Drew obviously is a big fan of fringe right now :) At least, it certainly looks that way between the leather fringe poncho she wore this morning and the black fringe top she wore last night.

Are you a fan of fringe or is this something you hope doesn't become a popular fashion trend?

Drew Barrymore & Justin Long: BBC Buddies

Continuing their press tour for “Going the Distance,” Drew Barrymore and Justin Long were spotted out at BBC Radio 1 studios in London, England today (August 20).

The “50 First Dates” babe and the “Dodgeball” stud both looked a bit tuckered out from some serious partying the night before as they exited their interview on the Sarah Cox show.

In a recent interview, Justin confessed that he and Drew still love each other despite the romantic hardship in their past.

“We’ve been through the whole gamut of the heights of love to the depth of heartbreak. I mean, we’ve been on quite a journey. The truth is, we do love each other, I pray to God she’s always in my life. We were friends before this, and at the heart of what we are and will be, we are friends, and that trumps everything else.” (celebspin)

Drew Barrymore For Marie Claire

The always bubbly and beautiful Drew Barrymore graced the cover of Marie Claire UK and opened up about how technology is changing the dating game. She ISN'T happy!! I agree with what she says about texting - but I feel like there's no turning back.
Here are a few quotes:

On having no rules in a relationship: ‘I’m happy to say that, at 35 years old, I feel I know less than eve. But in a liberating way. I’m trying to figure out how to make relationships work. The only thing I know is that there aren’t any rules. There should be no infrastructure on how a couple is supposed to work. Life isn’t like that.’

On being an old fashioned romantic: ‘The fact that I’m begging for a phone call is pathetic in this age of technology,’ she admits. ‘Plans are made by text – I can’t stand it. My ex, Fabrizio [Moretti, drummer with The Strokes], and I used to always make each other things for Valentine’s Day. I loved that. I know it was something we looked forward to and was really cool. I encourage people to make things for each other – it’s so beautiful.’

On social media: ‘I just don’t like this compulsive, instantaneous, over- information, lack-of-privacy, weirdo aspect of the world,’ she says. ‘If you meet someone, they already know everything. What about showing up on the date and saying, “What do you do for a living? Who are your friends?” Yes, you can avoid maybe a serial killer, but who fucking knows? I am a romantic and it scares me…’

On having phone sex: ‘Oh, I’ve had successful phone sex – it can work. I think it’s f**king weird – it’s super weird. I totally tried it, though, with a little success at one point in my life, but it was just a thing you try, like wearing orange for a while. I don’t think it’s something I could live my life with. What makes me happy right now is something very tangible and that’s the people I know that I really, really like and love and get such a sense of happiness from. My tribe.’   (imnotobsessed)

Drew Barrymore Brings the Quotes of the Day

Nylon Magazine features Drew Barrymore this month – and the 35 year-old actress brings a few quotes for you:

On living with her flaws: “You have to not pretend to be perfect, because that’s not only boring as f–k, but it’s just not real… So I feel so liberated in that way. I just really want to be true to myself. That’s essential in life. I would never be able to put on a charade. I would totally f–k it up.”

On not buying clothes herself: “I never have time for shopping. I like it…I think? If i ever do go shopping, I hit thrift stores ’cause I know I’ll find new pieces around a job or a shot. I’ve been wearing the same f–king pair of jeans for 10 years.”

… says Drew.

What do you think of the outfits drew is wearing in the shoot?
