The Uninvited is just starting on TCM -- the 1940s ghost story, not the new one.

I LOVE THIS ONE!!!!!

Liam Hemsworth says he's in the running to be Peeta in The Hunger Games.

He's not what I have in my minds eye, but blond he could work.

Can he act? Thus far I only know him as Miley Cyrus' boyfriend.

It definitely skews your opinion of Bruce Dern, since I don't think he was ever cast that likable before or since.

It's hard to hate his character in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. But it isn't like he has much time to make himself hate-able.

For Hollywood, it was a tough 2010

Sales of DVDs, CDs, video games and theater tickets all declined in 2010. And swift changes in technology will make it difficult for Hollywood to capture pre-recession levels of revenue.

The industry that was supposed to be immune to economic downturns looks like it's going to have some re-entry problems as the economy begins to recover.

Broad swaths of the entertainment business declined in 2010. DVD sales were off 13%. Music CD purchases plummeted 19%. Video game sales as well as concert and theater attendance also fell. Even the turnout for America's favorite pastimes — baseball and NASCAR — was down. And swift changes in technology will make it difficult for Hollywood to capture pre-recession levels of revenue.

...

But perhaps most ominously, last summer the pay-television industry suffered an unprecedented net loss — for the first time — of customers, a yellow warning light that consumers may no longer regard cable TV as a must-have utility on par with electricity and phone service.

I'm surprised Nolan didn't get nominated for director. It's also so weird still to see so many Best Picture nominations. Too many choices!
