Expect all the bleak summer chatter about the dying box office to fade with the opening of It, a crowdpleasing frightfest bound for box-office paydirt. For weeks now, the trailers for the film version of Stephen King's terror classic have been cranking us up to lose our shit. That evil clown Pennywise, a spectacularly scary Bill Skarsgard (Alexander's brother), is the stuff of nightmares. The full-length movie, however, can't match the trailers for sustained terror – it runs a punishing two hours and 15 minutes (and it's only half of the...

Monty Python’s Terry Jones arrived during a break in the clouds Friday for an Adr session at West La’s The Village, the storied recording studio where the late Robin Williams lent his voice to Jones’ upcoming sci-fi comedy Absolutely Anything shortly before his death this summer.
“One thing we’re grateful to Robin for is he was the first to come on and he stuck with the whole thing,” recalled Jones’ close collaborator Gavin Scott (The Mists of Avalon, Small Soldiers). “The kind of attitude that led him to stick with the project through all its ups and downs, he totally exhibited here. He wanted to make everybody feel good from the engineer to the lady making the coffee. It was very late in the day for him and we didn’t know that, but he was a real mensch.”

Let that light shine! I've mentioned missing more vampire action, Lafayette scenes, and Sookie choosing between good and evil. I got what I asked for tonight. I also mentioned that I wished Terry was dead, and now, well, I feel a little sorry about that.
First things first, Terry and Sam. Terry goes to Lafayette's house to give him a safe deposit key in preparation for his assisted suicide. Lafayette's so worn out from being possessed and calls Arlene to let her know that something's up with him. Who said potheads weren't responsible citizens? Holly and Arlene conspire to glamour Terry to make him forget that he wanted to kill himself, but they didn't know they had to glamour the sniper. Just when things start going well in Arlene's world,...
