(Big Year) the bird-watching comedy costarring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson cost $41 million to make and took in a worldwide total of $7.4 million, which is 18% of its production budget. Add in marketing costs (which you should, of course) and it’s an outright calamity.

New Twist On Old Excuse of the Day: A man in Pennsylvania didn’t just use the old “my mom died” excuse to get out of work — he went the extra mile by having an obituary for his very-much-alive mother published in a local paper.
Randy Bartley, editor of Brookville’s Jeffersonian Democrat, said relatives called the paper to inform him that the Scott Bennett’s mom had been greatly...

Jesse Eisenberg on the thrill of the stage (via Blackbook mag, 7 Dec 2011)
moviesorientated:
My friend Dan once explained to me why he likes Jewish people: “In most families, you sit around the dinner table in silence until you absolutely need something from the other end. That’s when you’re forced to speak. But when I eat dinner with a Jewish family, the tiniest comment sets off an...

INTERVIEWER: What I love about the theater is, actors come together and you get a play, and you form this family and you try to do the very best. You go through the trenches together of putting on a show. So what has it been like working together, all of you, because you guys are friends, so what's that dynamic like?
JESSE: When I act in a movie, I would compare the experience of working with the other actors as kind of being on a cruise together, like you have a fun time and it's nice--
REMY: All the food. All the food you eat.
JESSE: All the food, yeah. And also that you're kind of separated from your life. But the experience of working on a play with actors is like being in a life raft together. I feel like we're all staying afloat just because of each other. And it's such an intense experience, and if you're not surrounded by people you like -- and I've been fortunate enough to not have to have that experience, especially with this one -- I can only imagine it must be awful.
INTERVIEWER: You're coming into the homestretch with this run here. What are you gonna miss the most, and what's been the best part of the experience for each of you with doing the show?
JESSE: I had this moment on stage early on in the previews where we were all on stage together. There's only brief moments where the four of us are really there together, and I just had this moment of feeling that when this is over, I'm not gonna remember how nervous I felt every night and how disappointed I felt when it wasn't going well, but actually how much I'll miss that experience of being, you know, treading water with three other people. And um, I haven't been able to get back to that feeling, but um, I look forward to it during Christmas.
JUSTIN: I would say the Pop Tarts and the bagels. Yeah I'm not gonna miss the people, more the Pop Tarts.
