Success brought Reznor, now 34, his own label, Nothing Records, and his own studio, built in an old funeral home near his mansion in New Orleans. Music writers called him rock's savior, while awestruck fans--Goths, punks, heavy-metal heads and hard-core rockers alike--showered him with handwritten poems and paintings inspired by his music...
...Chris Rock, "Where did all the money go?" For $60,000, Blair Witch still seems like a ripoff. It's a gimmick of low quality wrapped in marvelous packaging. Without a doubt, the best production you'll see all year is the marketing magic of Artisan Entertainment, the small studio that suddenly isn't so small anymore. (I also think that Dramamine could have made a fortune by handing out samples at movie theatres to solve the rampant nausea.) But the movie itself was trifling --even though that wickedly clever little ending almost redeems the whole exercise (I like...
...ironic, of course, since the true flood of copycat movies will begin in the next six to seven months as Hollywood execs try to capitalize on the trend (i.e. rapid filming, diehard editing, rush to theaters). Last time that happened, Scream planted the deadly seed in the mind of studio heads. As a result, we had lame-O drivel like Urban Legend, Idle Hands, I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc. etc. polluting our theaters for months. Don't go see scary movies next spring. I promise you, they will be very...
...affair he has with a charmless woman (Kelly Preston--big mistake) and a daughter problem that adds 15 minutes of emotional lard. As domestic drama, it's down there with Stepmom. And much of the jock stuff will look loony to true fans. Costner has complained that his studio cut the film insensitively to get a softer rating, but what's left is nothing to brag about. If the filmmakers were ballplayers, they'd all be put on waivers...
...sold the series to its fledgling FX cable network for a puny $400,000 per episode. (ER, by way of comparison, was sold into syndication to TNT for $1.2 million a show.) Not only did Fox fail to shop NYPD Blue to other prospective buyers, Bochco alleges, but the studio hid interest from other networks so it could supply its own cable channel on the cheap. This isn't the first such case brought against a media giant. Disney settled a similar suit from the producers of Home Improvement, and actor DAVID DUCHOVNY has another pending against Fox over...
