This week, my new favorite Tumblr comes from the Sundance Archives. Going back to the festivals inception in 1991, the blog offers a series of retro photos of actors and filmmakers. Young Val Kilmer and a Reservoir Dogs read-through on the carpeted floor? I can smell the snow and Mormons from here. Bring it on, Sundance! More »
Interview: Jensen Karp Talks the ‘Crazy 4 Cult’ Book, Celebrity Bidding Wars, and the Worst Cult Movie Ever (It’s Not ‘The Room’!)
Seven years ago in Los Angeles, Jensen Karp co-founded Gallery 1988 with Katie Cromwell because the latter was working at what Karp calls “a stuffy adult gallery nearby… It was so pompous and judgmental; the owner used to have to convince people to pay $40,000 for a splattering of green paint on a canvas.” He and Cromwell realized that in the art world, there was a major divide between older and younger buyers: “I had a ton of friends who were my age, who were buying something at Bed Bath and Beyond for their walls… There should be somewhere that people my age can go and actually buy art that speaks to them, rather than art that’s forced upon them.”
“The cool thing we learned pretty quickly,” he told me, “was that these young artists, while they used to be influenced by Matisse or Rothko were now influenced by Ren and Stimpy or Quentin Tarantino. We always went by the creed of, If you’re passionate about it, paint it.” More »

Video: ‘The Social Network,’ Redirected
The Social Network‘s portrayal of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg not only had the rapid-pace dialogue we’ve come to expect from Aaron Sorkin, but the Rashomon style of its director David Fincher (Fight Club, Zodiac). Today, CollegeHumor answers the question no one asked of “But what if, like, Wes Anderson or Quentin Tarantino had directed The Social Network?” More »

Oscar Poll: Best Director
The race for the Best Director Oscar is definitely one of the most-watched this year– not only because there are five extremely worthy contenders, but also because two of them happened to have been married once. We all love drama, and we all love a good ex-revenge story. Will James Cameron be able to ride Avatar’s giant dragon creature of success to another directing Oscar? Or will ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow manage to win the first-ever prize in that category for… More »
Paula Deen on ‘Idol’? What the Hay-ull?
There are certain things that are absolutely true: there will always be death and taxes, tabloid magazines will always speculate about the possible contents of Jennifer Aniston’s womb, and American Idol is not a singing competition.
If there was any doubt about the last statement, this year — Idol’s ninth season — has effectively silenced it. Now that original judge Paula Abdul has packed up her crazy and headed home and co-creator Simon Cowell will be following her at the end… More »

Video of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the DGAs
I was able to find a bit of a video clip of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the DGAs on Saturday night. Unfortunately it’s from an entertainment show, so it’s only a clip rather than the full speech, but we do get to see some of Brad’s humorous presentation of Quentin Tarantino.
It also mentions what some of the write-ups have said, that Brad and Angelina appeared to be in date mode all throughout the evening.
I still wish we could… More »
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at Directors Guild Awards – photos!
Last night, Saturday January 30th, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the prestigious Directors Guild Awards. Brad was presenting Quentin Tarantino and naturally Angelina was there with Brad.
Angelina wore a strapless green gown and Brad wore his usual Tom Ford suit. Below we see Angelina signing something for someone in a notebook.
I’m hoping to find some video footage of Brad doing the presentation for Quentin.
E Online said that Angelina was chuckling throughout Brad’s speech – no wonder, it looks… More »
Inglourious Basterds up for SAG Best Film Award
There may be a Brad Pitt red carpet appearance in our future because Inglourious Basterds is up for Best Film at the SAG Awards.
He may not be there because Brad is not nominated on his own, but hopefully he will be there to support Quentin Tarantino’s work! After all, red carpet appearances are always fun, especially if Angelina Jolie is there too – I love seeing what they wear to the big shows.
It will all depend on their schedules,… More »

There’s some good news for any Brad Pitt fans who didn’t get a chance to catch Inglourious Basterds in theaters. The film is being released on DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, December 15th, just in time for a good Christmas gift for anyone in your life who loves Brad – or for yourself!

Video clip of Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino on Japanese food show
I have no idea how I never saw this before but when Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino were in Japan to promote Inglourious Basterds they both appeared on some sort of Japanese food & talk show. From what I’ve understood, the concept is that they invite people on the show, prepare a meal for them, and while they wait for it they sit around and chat. By the way, that’s a fabulous idea!
The host doesn’t speak English… More »
Brad Pitt is ready for “Basterds” prequel
Brad Pitt has said it before, but it seems that he’s really serious when he says that he’d love to do a prequel of Inglourious Basterds.
According to E! Online, Brad’s co-star Eli Roth confirmed that there would be no problem with getting the cast back together for another round, saying, “Everybody would drop whatever they’re doing to go back to work with Quentin.” He also added that Brad routinely spoke about doing a prequel and that Quentin Tarantino already… More »
Brad Pitt talks about his motorcycle mishap – video
Although fans were worried back when Brad Pitt took a tumble off his motorcycle, and although I’m sure he was upset at the time, it seems that Brad has a great sense of humor about the whole thing.
While in Japan for the Inglourious Basterds photocall and premiere, Brad spoke about the “motorcycle mishap” and made light of the situation while a translator re-told the story.
Brad tells the crowd he suffered no injuries in the spill – except for his ego…. More »
More photos of Brad Pitt in Spain
I figure you can really never have too many photos of Brad Pitt, am I right? There have been some great shots of Brad on the red carpet coming out since Friday night and I thought I’d share some of them with you.
I really can’t stop laughing at Brad’s shoes. Having a giant gold “BP” just doesn’t seem like it’s his style at all, so I’m wondering if it’s some sort of an inside joke, or perhaps a… More »
Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino at San Sebastian Film Festival
Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino were scheduled to talk about Inglourious Basterds at the San Sebastian Film Festival, and Brad is to present the film later in the evening.
I think Brad cleaned up quite nicely after his quick arrival earlier in the day (I’ve updated with some more photos over there)! He still has the slightly bushy beard thing going – though a PittWatch reader suggested that it may be for an upcoming role, perhaps Lost… More »
Inglourious Basterds continues to do well at box office!
Even though Inglourious Basterds is now in its third week, it’s still doing extremely well at the box office. Over the long weekend it took in over $15 million, landing in second place (after Final Destinations, another movie I’d like to see).
In total it’s made $95,226,000 which is excellent since they’ve now more than cleared the $70 million budget the movie had!
I wish I could remember where I read this so I could source it properly; I don’t even… More »
Video coverage of the L.A. Inglourious Basterds premiere and afterparty!
Skyy Vodka had some great video footage of Brad Pitt on the “blue carpet” and at the afterpartyfor the Los Angeles premiere of Inglourious Basterds earlier this month and they were hoping I’d share it with you.
Well of course I would, because I know you would all enjoy it!
I’ve said it before but it bears saying again – I love Brad Pitt’s sense of humor. Sometimes it’s raunchy and sometimes it’s really dry. In this video we see… More »
