Happy Valentine’s Friday! In lieu of a card or teddy bear, I present you with this GrabBag of screen-related bon-bons…
- Up first, The Onion’s “Starfix” gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Colin Farrell’s “lack of preparation” for this weekend’s big romantic release, Winter’s Tale…
- Oscar’s telecast producers urged winners to give speeches “from your heart, not from a list.” I can get behind that. Who cares about a list of agents and producers? The speeches we remember are those that take the opportunity to really say something.
- To get you in the V-Day mood, The Escapist presents 5 classic video games reimagined as trashy romance novel covers. (Thanks to my friend Violet for pointing this one out!)
- Annie Leibovitz completed her Disney series. (This was teased a few weeks ago with Jessica Chastain as Merida.)
- Speaking of Disney, the cast of Frozen reunited for a live Cabaret night. I wish we got more than 18 seconds of footage from it.
- And finally, Hoth should never have been chosen to host the Winter Olympics…
