Zack & Miri at #2, Secret Gay Character on NBC, & "Heroes" plummeting
Even though High School Musical 3--or as the "cool" kids call it HSM3--bested Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno, it still deserves applause for coming in at #2 on a Halloween weekend right before a major election. A horror movie like Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford flick, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, and Saw V should've been in the top spots, but it seems the nation is more in the mood for laughs, whether from intentional jokes--inspired by Rogen's prowess--or unintentional ones--inspired by Zac Efron's angry dance numbers. For those who saw the movie, you might have noticed the slight lisp that Jason Mewes' character Lester sported. It was actually a real lisp that was a side effect from an ongoing painful dentist surgery that lasted the whole shoot. Poor bastard. And on a side note:Kevin Smith originally offered up-and-comer Elizabeth Banks' role to his Clerks 2 co-star Rosario Dawson, but she passed on the LEAD role in order to shoot Eagle Eye and play a supporting role no one will ever remember her for. Maybe she was just trying to get in Steven Spielberg's eyeline. Look at me Stevie! Look at me!
Phillip Seymour Hoffman's indie Synechdote, New York was actually the real box office winner, in my opinion, this weekend, having made the most per theater in its 2nd week.
EW's Mark Harris reported that according to GLAAD there are currently 16 gay characters on TV, but "another of the 16 is a character NBC mysteriously declines to identify." Hmm, that's got me thinking. Which NBC character could possibly be secretly gay? Are they talking about The Office's Michael? Cause that's only a secret to him.
"NBC fired the two co-executive producers of 'Heroes' yesterday, marking either the biggest staff shakeup or the most bizarre, meta plot twist in the show’s history."--BestWeekEver.tv
