“Ghostbusters is the most influential movie of my childhood. And I would not want to be the reason that Ghostbusters was all of a sudden bad.” —Michael Cera, putting to rest rumors he will appear in Ghostbusters 3 [USAT]
“People laugh at me. Sometimes I know why, and sometimes I don’t.” —Jennifer Aniston [Harper’s Bazaar via Us Weekly]
“I hate it on TV shows, and there’s one show that I won’t name right now, where it’s like ‘Why aren’t these character kissing? Don’t they have a child?’ That’s ridiculous to me. I don’t understand it. … If I did it on my show, I would just have them do it in every scene and not have a big deal about it. I don’t think that you have to announce a very special episode. Weren’t they doing it back on Roseanne? It is just so outdated and archaic to me, and as a gay man, I would never do that. I would make it very organic and do it several times and not make it a stunt.” —Glee creator Ryan Murphy on, presumably, Modern Family and its lack of gay kissing [Greg in Hollywood]
“Yes, it is true. We are together. I have heard of women — even famous women — that due to this [relationship] removed his photo as screensavers from their computers.” —Elisabetta Canalis on her relationship with George Clooney [VF via People]
“The movie is being shot on these videocassettes and then being transferred to a sketch artist, who is actually storyboarding every frame of film. That is being filmed. That is then being downloaded to a DAT — a digital audio tape. It is then being put into a microprocessor and sent over to a lab in South Korea. And then [transferred] into anime.” —Will Ferrell on The Other Guys [Movies Blog/MTV]
“It’s crazy because at one point we were very close, and she was a really good person. It’s crazy when you see things not just with her but just all these things that are happening in Hollywood, with people in music, with people in acting. Famous people. Famous people are overdosing at alarming rates and — that almost sounded like a commercial. Wow. But they are. And it’s one of those things, man, where you’re famous, doctors will kiss your ass because they love the celebrity. ‘Oh, I can call up Eminem and get him on the phone right now. Oh, hi Marshall, how are you doing? Do you need that [prescription]?’ There are doctors that will give you certain things just because of who you are.” —Eminem on 8 Mile co-star Brittany Murphy [Vibe]
“The funny thing is I did the soundtrack songs two years ago, before the film had even been made. Edgar brought in these giant enlargements of frames from the comic book. He put them around the studio and we just looked at those pictures and tried to get some feeling of what the music would sound like. We threw together a couple songs in two days and then they went off and made the film. I got to see it about five months ago; it’s like a sensory overload. I couldn’t imagine what it took to put all that together.” —Beck on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World [Pitchfork]
