The Hot Blog

I'm sooo MAD I can't see Slumdog Millionaire this week, since I will leave for Saudi Arabia. I've been looking forward to seeing this movie for MONTHS.

I think Searchlight's slow rollout on this one hits Riyadh this Friday (saw a pre-Sunday ad in the Al Riyadh Arts & Leisure section), and then expands to Jeddah and Mecca the following Friday for Saudi Thanksgiving.

If I were a guy or Lindsay Lohan, I'd be really hot for Freida Pinto. She's so beautiful and smart and commanding in the interview. In fact, any role I could think of being a possibility for Lindsay, I'd think of Freida (same approx age, but more aware and speaks the King's English).

She's more interesting them all those Londoners, (I don't think Danny and Simon would disagree).

I took 11 of my closest friends to see this one tonight and they all LOVE LOVE LOVED it. This was my fourth time seeing it. I really hope the film catches on with the general public, despite it's obvious promotional obstacles in North America.

I'm quite worried actually because somebody who I trust a lot with these sort of things gave it a D+.

Have not had a chance to watch the interviews yet but I did see the actual film. I thought it was pretty good. Does Fox Searchlight have any other key film coming out or will this be their dark horse entry for Best Pic? I could see it getting nominated. Certainly as deserving as any of the previous two years entries.

I thought the acting was really good. One villian was a little too simply drawn, which I'm not sure if it was that or just seeing a pattern form in the movie itself that kinda made for a few predictable moments but not enough to kill it.

I wish these people a long creative career.

Morning Triple Option
Its not a dark horse...most of the experts have already guaranteed that it will get a Best Picture and Best Director nominations...most of the experts call it a frontrunner and favorite. Their other contender is The Wrestler...again most predict Mickey Rourke a lock for Best Actor, with Marisa Tomei for Supporting Actress. Just pencil in Searchlight for a Best Picture nom every year

ANY MOVIE ABOUT INDIA IS INHERENTLY BORING BUT THIS CHICK LOOKS HOT.

FUCK YEAH.
