A glossary of movie terms created by Scary Movie
4's David Zucker and his crew. My favorite is "Schmuck Bait." - Does critic Lisa Schwarzbaum always sit though the end credits of movies?
- New movies: they give The Notorious Bettie Page a B , while Scary Movie 4 gets a C , Hard Candy gets a B and Kinky Boots gets the same.
- New on DVD: instead of giving one overall grade to The Robert Altman Collection, they grade each movie individually. MASH gets a B , while A Wedding gets a C , Quintet a D, and A Perfect Couple a C . I haven't even heard of three of those movies (yes, I've heard of MASH).
- Dave Karger gives his Oscar picks for 2006: All The King's Men (Sean Penn and Jude Law), Dreamgirls, The Good Shepherd, Will Ferrell's Stranger Than Fiction, and The Good German. Soderbergh, Clooney, and noir? I am so there.
- An interview with Bill Paxton (including a "Must" list for his movies), and another chat, with Catherine Keener.
- So, who have been the best movie Jesuses anyway?

As the old joke goes, those who fail to study history are destined to repeat the course. Predicting next year's Oscar nominees this early is nothing but stupid. Remember the geniuses that predicted "Memoirs of a Geisha", "Jarhead" and "King Kong" last year as being sure things for Best Picture? Even "Munich" turned out to be less than certain after it was released. I prefer to wait until the films actually are in theaters, and the critics awards start rolling in December.
