--fired from Village Voice for refusing to have sex with female editor…but, that’s just his side of the story. We called his former boss and learned that he was actually fired because he made a pass at Rupert Everett during the press junket for The Next Best Thing. We haven’t confronted him about it.

Movie Review

Shopgirl
Scarlett Johannson Has a Better Ass Than Claire Danes
by: Dean Sizzle, for Entertainment

Let's get the obvious comparison out of the way: Shopgirl isn't as good as Lost in Translation. Although much more accessible than Translation, the characters in Shopgirl are mere generalizations, while those in Translation, plausibly human.

Other than that, I liked Shopgirl a whole lot. Steve Martin did a great job in translating his Novella in a major motion picture. The best part of the movie is Claire Danes as the title character. She plays Mirabelle Buttersfield, a bored but talented artist who pays the rent by working behind the expensive glove counter at Saks Fifth Avenue. Danes proves once again that she's one of the three or four best actresses of her generation. She consistently gives her characters a vulnerability and sincerity that very few of her peers are able to provide. And she even made me believe she wasn't grossed out by the idea of fucking Steve Martin. Most girls her age would be horrified and you'd be able to tell (See Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Douglas; Drew Barrymore and Tom Skerrit). Not Claire. She can act.

Mirabelle is torn between two men who are polar opposites. Jeremy, played by the excessively hairy and funny Jason Schwartzman, is a slacker and a slob, but still manages to be likable. Martin's Ray Porter is a refined multi-millionaire who can give her anything she wants, except his heart (awww). So, obviously, the bitch chooses the guy with all the money. He takes her shopping and pays off all of her student loans. I know what you're thinking. "What a whore." Well, I thought that too until I realized she really loved the guy and she never actually asked him for anything. You can't hate on that.

The plot becomes a bit convoluted when Jeremy runs off to tour with a rock band for a year and subsequently experiences exponential growth emotionally and intellectually through the use of self-help books-on-tape. Only in the movies and the Church of Scientology do people change so completely so quickly. The guy is actually gone for a good portion of the movie and comes back trying to win her heart? I just didn't get it. They didn't even talk for a year.

If you wanna see Claire Danes naked, go see this move. If not...don't.
