Muriels Best Supporting: A no-brainer and a surprise

It should come as no surprise to anyone that Christoph Waltz took the Best Supporting Actor Muriel award for his performance in Inglourious Basterds yesterday, but I have to say I didn’t see today’s Vera Farmiga win in the Supporting Actress category for Up in the Air coming at all.

Another month, another trailer for Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air courtesy of Apple (Update: ok, factually this is a TV spot that ran during the season finale of Mad Men, but clocking in at 2 minutes it still feels like a trailer to me).

Poster: Up in the Air

Update: Paramount requested the poster be taken down. There’s supposedly another kosher version, but screw ‘em.
Here’s the first official, non-crappy, non-iPhone snapped, non-Cinexpo teaser poster for the comedy written and directed by Jason Reitman (director of Juno), starring George Clooney as a traveling corporate downsizing expert who himself is downsized just as he’s approaching his [...]

Jeunet’s ‘Micmacs’ to premiere at TIFF

Like Mr. Creosote and his wafer thin mint, Toronto International Film Festival organizers crammed a few more titles into their lineup bringing the total number of films to 129.
