It'll be blatant rip-off of the bank heist intro from The Dark Knight. In the first minute, Dazzler melts the lock of the bank safe just before Forge shoots her in the back with a laser cannon. Nineteen hours later, the film climaxes when Wolverine saves Professor X by running Magneto over with a school bus.

And then we segue into this:

Only in the literal sense.

… then the camera prowled like it did the whole film, went back stage through the halls we’ve seen the whole time, and we’d get to the dressing room where literally Nic Cage would be sitting looking in the mirror and putting on his Riggan Thomson wig and then the poster of The Rock would be in the back.

Put the pogs in a sarcophagus.

That last anecdote is spectacular.

Yes, but unfortunately the (theoretical) greater cultural relevance of the protest is undercut by the fact that it's just some dude getting his nose out of joint because his buddy didn't win this supposedly useless award. So it just looks petty, as opposed to having any larger point.

Probably because the Grammys give out a bunch of pointless awards every year, but someone going on stage in protest is an unusual and newsworthy occurrence. So it attracts the attention of people who'd otherwise just ignore the whole thing.

I just think it's funny how many people call the Grammys meaningless, irrelevant, and out of touch, but then get really mad when their meaningless, irrelevant, out-of-touch awards ceremony doesn't go exactly as scheduled.

If the show's not worth respecting, he should skip it. He clearly "respects" the Grammys, in the sense that he cares enough to act like a big baby when his friends don't win the awards.

In the upcoming Western Godwin's Law, Jake Gyllenhaal plays Sheriff Mike Godwin, whose quiet Wyoming county descends into lawlessness after a mysterious bounty hunter (Man of Steel's Michael Shannon) rides into town and starts accusing the townsfolk of being worse than Hitler.

Gere will play Norman Oppenheimer, a man whose life “dramatically changes after the young politician he befriended during a dark period in his life becomes an influential world leader.”

He'll have to be able to nail "excited & sad" before they'll cast him in the Peyton Manning biopic.

It's the most famous quotation from Aristotle's Broetics.

Joke's on Brooks—I'm writing terrible gags and betting on the movie to fail.

BROOKS: Any questions?

Look, Rollo, this is a multi-million dollar production. You can't make that kind of decision—you're just a production assistant!

Look, we're clearly dealing with an important film here and it's not up to you, or me, or anybody to arbitrarily put it in turnaround.

I'm hoping for a Paul Reiser cameo.

The new musical's gettin' nearer!
