Videogum's Only This Is It Post • Everyone is posting their reviews of Michael Jackson's This Is It today. You can find the reviews using google.com. Elizabeth Taylor loved the movie so much she Twittered about it (the highest form of admiration?). Fair enough. And thus ends Videogum's only This Is It post.

Jamie Foxx FINALLY Breaks His Legendary Silence To Address The Roman Polanski Issue

If you're anything like me, then over the past few weeks as a media firestorm has brewed over the recent arrest of Roman Polanski on decades old warrants stemming from his 1977 arrest and trial for drugging and sodomizing a 13-year-old girl (not necessarily in that order) you have had to ask yourself: where is Jamie Foxx in all this? Why will he not provide the world with his opinion on the Roman Polanski situation? Luckily, the great man and even greater thinker has finally decided to emerge from his J.D. Salinger like solitude and provide us with some of his penetrating insights into the matter. From MSNBC:

"If it had been my daughter who was barely a teenager -- my daughter is 15 -- Roman Polanski would be missing ... period," Foxx stated in an interview with Parade magazine. "It wouldn't even get to the court case. But, that's me and I wouldn't want anyone else to follow that because you should let the justice system work it out."

Um...obviously, I love vigilante justice. We all do. But is Jamie Foxx seriously saying that if anything ever happened to his daughter, he would take the law into his own hands? Against Roman Polanski? Because a) that is hilarious, and b) Jamie Foxx is retarded. As a human being with a heart made of muscle and emotions and whatever else hearts are made of, I sincerely hope that nothing ever happens to Jamie Foxx's daughter, but somewhere deep in the shadowy mean recesses of my stupid, dessicated brain where the jokes are made, I kind of wish that something would happen to her (no I don't, I really don't, but yes I do, for the sake of this joke) just to see what Jamie Foxx would do. Roman Polanski is in jail now (sorry, Woody Allen!), so it would have to be a comparable director? I don't know. Paul Thomas Anderson? I hated Magnolia, but There Will Be Blood was pretty great.

Oh, also, Jamie Foxx is not done. He has more to say:

Who Should Die On TV?

Yesterday, on NY Mag's Vulture Blog, it was reported that Alan Ball is planning on killing a character in the third season of True Blood. Vulture then offered a poll to readers of which character they would most like to see killed off: Bill, Tara, or Andy Bellefleur. D) All of the above. FINAL ANSWER. Unless there is a way to bring Eggs back and kill him a second time. But why stop there? There are so many characters on TV that deserve a make believe bullet through their fantasy faces. Who should die on the TV?

Betty Draper on Mad Men?
-Sure, she is a victim of the times, but she's also kind of a pill. A beautiful, beautiful, heartbreaking pill.

Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl?
-Seriously, Jigsaw needs to make a stop on the Upper East Side. Dan would love to play a game.

All of the characters on Family Guy?
-Even the dog and the baby? Especially the dog and the baby.

Feel free to nominate your own in the comments. The choice is ours! Kind of! I mean, we can say whatever we want, this is America. Just try to stop us, Communist Hollywood!

UPDATE/CLARIFICATION: Please confine your nominations to FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. There is a time and place for being creeps but this is not it.

A Round Up Of Reviews Of I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell

Well, it is finally here. The movie that nobody was waiting for. I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, a sub-sub-par Hangover* with no stars based on a shitty blog. Perfect! Hollywood was like, "we're gonna need a bigger green light!" A friend of mine walked by the exclusive New York sneak preview a few weeks ago and took a photo of the daunting line to get inside.

Ha. Anyway, you're probably not going to see this movie. Mostly just because I'm sure it's going to be impossible to get tickets. Variety is reporting that Fandango's servers crashed this morning. (Variety is not reporting that Fandango's servers crashed this morning.) But let's take a look at what people who have seen it are saying!

Karl Pilkington Should Review All The Movies

To be fair, there's still a chance that Ricky Gervais's The Invention of Lying could turn out to be a disappointment. I haven't seen it yet, so it is not for me to say. But the clips he's been showing around the late night circuit have been funny. Plus Louis C.K. is in it ah-no-duh. And we like the things that Ricky Gervais writes and directs, don't we, you guys? But more importantly, even if the movie turns out to be a dud (in England they call "duds" "lorries"), we will not go empty-handed, because the movie has already taught us one thing: Karl Pilkington should review all the movies. After the jump, Karl reviews The Invention of Lying, and it's great.
