  • The only wide release this weekend is New Line’s The Golden Compass, which has been frought with bad buzz since its inception, and lately has been coaxing high-pitched whines from just about anyone who cares one way or another about religion, atheism, and/or the book on which its based. Variety says it should nonetheless “easily win the weekend.” The Hollywood Reporter is slightly more reserved: “Execs will need to eke out every theatrical dollar possible if this “Compass” is to prove golden, let alone any sort of franchise starter.”
  • Today’s writers strike update gets the best teaser ever: “Slow pace frustrating, holidays loom.”
  • This silly Variety article about why Oscar prognostication is horseshit lumps bloggers in the same sentence as “journos”! That’s some kind of small victory, even if it’s pejorative … right?
