The other day a journalist compared Kanye West to Bowie, in terms of being his equivalent in the hip-hop world for his artistic innovations.

I know music journalists (the most pretentious and pompous of the journalist species) in general deride his 80's stuff because he decided that he wanted to be a mainstream pop star for a while and stop wearing weird costumes and stuff.

Well I enjoyed What Women Want. So what? Marisa Tomei was in it

Zac Effron is becoming as poisonous to the box-office as Johnny Depp. Neighbors was a hit mainly due to every other actor on it (Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Dave Franco)

That seems plausible…I've seen a few interviews with him on tv and he's obviously a smart guy

WELL I LAUGHED DAMMIT!

Why hire an actress with zero charisma? This whole thing is baffling and I predict this will go down the same route as Green Lantern

To me the most insufferable one is Louise…by miles.

Agreed. He was the show's weakest link by miles, I hope they tweak his character somehow for season 2

I'm calling the press immediately!!
