Lindsay Lohan appears to be doing great

    I'm excited to see RA on S2 of True Detective. Whether or not Pizzolatto wrote a female part into the second season to specifically rebut criticism of the first season and the way it viewed women, who knows. But it's a great chance for her to show some a different side of her acting chops. She's had a few meh movies where she seemed to rise above the material.

    I agree, DD. Also, I'm not hating her weathered look in the TD2 trailers. Kinda dig it.

    I would love for Ryder to sink to the level where she's making movies like The Canyons. I had such a massive crush on her in HS and still think she's super hot.

    Ryder is actually a great comparison. I think she's benefited from having friends in high places (Burton, Linklater...) who have put her in things and she's done OK since (Black Swan, Star Trek) but I really doubt she's going to be starring in anything anytime soon. I remember a RS article shortly after the shoplifiting incidents saying that directors were still willing to work with her, but couldn't get insurance on her. Drugs and alcohol are one thing, but if you're tagged as being "fucking nuts" then it's probably the worst thing that can happen to you in Hollywood.

    McAdams could have a pretty big summer with Aloha and Southpaw both coming out.

    Imagine how much might have been different for both Ryder and The Godfather series if she hadn't flaked on Part III.

    She's not in Southpaw that long.

    Yeah, that's pretty clear from the preview... :D

    I take issue with the statement that Kim Kardashian has less talent than Paris Hilton.
    0 = 0

    I love the presumption by many GF III haters (and Sofia Copolla haters) that Wynona Ryder, by herself, would have boosted the movie up into the critical stratosphere inhabited by its big brothers.

    Sorry, unh-uhh.

    Sofia Copolla was far from great, but there was plenty else wrong with the movie besides her.

    It all begins with her though. Sofia is so bad, so out of her depth, it would be like me playing in the Masters a 12-handicap.

    It was even worse. The dramatic tension and emotion toward her death was reversed because she was so annoying everyone was rooting for her to die.

    She dies? Shit, how about a spoiler alert next time.
