Happy Friday! Wait, I already said that. Oh well — such in the circle of life, and such is the way the long week closes at Movieline. Cue the Week in Review, with its assortment of high, low, beautiful, hideous, blessed, cursed, and so many more of the nuanced dynamics in between that make our culture remotely interesting. Or, failing that, there’s always booze. On that note! I’m gonna ramble, lady. Dixon Gaines will take it from here — have a great weekend!
· A new Harry Potter movie called for bold moves, from liveblog endurance tests to waiting in line for, like, ever.
· Scarlett Johansson hosted the worst SNL of the season, and we’ve got the Scorecard and Relevancy Poll to prove it.
· Thanks to the week’s eclectic, brilliant group of interviewees, including Isabelle Huppert, Colin Firth, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Haggis, Justin Kirk, Michael Shannon, Tom Bergeron and Verge designee Andrea Riseborough.
· The Wolverine and Captain America could use alternate titles, but damn if that Green Lantern villain isn’t effective.
· Recaps! We got recaps, including Glee, Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire, South Park, Community, Gossip Girl, Fringe, The Event and Bored to Death — plus the customary Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker and weekly DWTS feedback from Erin Andrews.
· RIP Ronni Chasen.
· Baz Luhrmann may or may not ever get around to directing Carey Mulligan in The Great Gatsby, but let’s hope these five projects do come to fruition.
· Who knows? Tyra Banks’s directing debut and great silent films are just a few of the things you may be able to enjoy someday as an American moviegoer in Paris.
· We defended both the memory of American Idol’s semifinal rounds and the existence of five shows so bad they’re brilliant.
