...bitterness, Bad might be closer to Jack Baker of The Fabulous Baker Boys, 20 years down the road and without Michelle Pfeiffer's Susie Diamond for motivation. Bad is angry at just about everything, from what might have been in his personal life (there's an abandoned son out there somewhere) to the fact that his slick protégé Tommy Sweet (a spot-on Colin Farrell) is hugely successful, largely on the basis of having turned one of Bad's songs into a smash hit. Bad would tell you Tommy's career was never...
...What has all this got to do with Crazy Heart, which features Bridges as a washed-up country-and-western singer? A low-budget affair made by Country Music Television, the film might have gone straight to DVD if ICM hadn't gone to bat for a theatrical release on behalf of first-time writer-director Scott Cooper. The agency's persistence is paying off in Oscar buzz for Bridges, who has been nominated four times in his career and has always gone home empty-handed. If the Golden Globe nomination he earned this week is any sign, it seems...
...Kris Kristofferson) and that he's playing a fictional character. When Bridges sings Bad's wistful, weary songs - written by producer T-Bone Burnett and a group of other musicians, including Ryan Bingham, who has a small part in the film - you feel like this is a guy you might be lucky to find at your local honky-tonk. One of the first lyrics we hear from Bad is "I used to be somebody/ Now I am somebody else." Jeff Bridges has made a lifetime of being somebody else, and he just keeps getting better...
...looking for a world where life might thrive, a planet must be at the right temperature for water to exist in liquid form. So it needs to orbit its star in the so-called habitable zone, a "Goldilocks" location that allows a planet to be neither too hot nor too cold. In that respect, GJ 1214b is again a near miss. Its surface temperature hovers at a sweltering 190°C (374°F), which is well above the boiling point of water, at least in Earth's atmospheric pressure. Fortunately, GJ 1214b's atmosphere makes the pressure...
...South Beach diet, a more lenient version that invokes the same low-sugar principle. But other modern diets remain pretty far-fetched. One example is the cabbage-soup diet, which promises that adherents will lose 10 lb. in a week by eating only cabbage soup. A more challenging competitor might be the lemonade diet, which requires dieters to subsist on a concoction of lemon juice, maple syrup, red pepper and hot water for as long as 10 days. While it may not rely on sound science, Siegal's cookie diet looks that much more appealing by comparison...
