The Hollywood Reporter posts that Current Media has cooked up a deal with the website to air a half hour series on Current TV and Current.com called “The Rotten Tomatoes Show on Current.” Unfortunately, while I have always hoped for some sort of rotten tomato slinging in real life for the terrible stinkers that come out of Hollywood, the show will be fruit-free, featuring “movie news and information” while also giving “viewers the chance to participate in and influence the content of the series via both sites.”

Hollywood, please. Leave The Fountain’s soundtrack alone!

Somehow, in the course of my writing, I neglected to ever watch the Frost/Nixon trailer, something now rectified thanks to it being attached to Australia.

We all know the triumphs and struggles of Roman Polanski, and how one of the latter has remained a thorn in his side to this day — the sex he had with a 13-year-old girl 31 years ago. The recent documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (which Erik and Christopher both reviewed) covered the years Polanski has spent avoiding jail and both the US and UK, and ended with word that it could have all come to an end, but that the judge wanted the proceedings televised.
