It's the Porn About Nothing
Wind down your day -- every day -- with The Last Word, Movieline's regular late-afternoon news digest:
· We were extremely impressed with the Seinfeld porn's slavish attention to detail. That was until we realized that Newman's strikingly similar stand-in was actually Wayne Knight, who appears to have dropped a few notches on the showbiz totem since his Must-See TV peak. Any way you slice it, however, Elaine's losing this contest.
· This site's editors acknowledge the steep learning curve that comes with launching any new Web endeavor. That said, if you ever find a writer here pleading with Shannen Doherty for a date three months into our run, please: Just pull the plug.
· If Chris Nolan doesn't come around with a script for Batman 3, then Michael Caine will be just fine fading into obscurity, thank you very much.
· "Could a 6-8, 380-pound actor win an Oscar?" Patrick Goldstein asks all the hard questions.
· Simon Cowell gets a head start on his contract negotiations, sending millions of American Idol fans into a shallow-breathing panic with intimations that his years of karaoke-assessment bloodsport may be finally winding down.
· England is in a tizzy over the NY Post's panning of Sienna Miller's moustache's performance in The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. (By contrast, The Christian Science Monitor thought it was "admirably well-maintained.")
Comments
That version of Jerry Seinfeld is significantly more attractive than the real version.
Mulatto Elaine, however, not so much.
I'm glad that I waited for just the right story on which to post my first Movieline comment: discomfiting pornography and I go together like "Seinfeld" and pornography.
I gotta see the XXX version of 'The Contest'.
For the JFK Jr. scene alone!
This looks like bad naked.
That's totally not Wayne Knight and it doesn't really look that much like him.
