Stephen Colbert poked fun at Ticketmaster Thursday night after the company released their list of not-so-appetizing free concerts, the result of a long-standing, just-settled class action lawsuit.
"Ticketmaster is settling a class action lawsuit for overcharging customers, and as part of the settlement, they're giving out $5 million dollars in free concert tickets. Obviously, minus a $3.5 million dollar processing fee," Colbert said.
Like everyone else who logged into their Ticketmaster account to find free ticket vouchers waiting for them, that excitement soon turned into disappointment for Colbert when he saw the...

Saint Laurent
Written by Bertrand Bonello and Thomas Bidegain
Directed by Bertrand Bonello
France, 2014
Expressing his appreciation for a painting of Proust’s bedroom, Yves Saint Laurent says, “There’s so much fidelity in it. The artist didn’t eclipse his subject.” Something similar can be said of Bertrand Bonello’s biopic of the iconic woman’s fashion designer, as the film seems content with offering fleeting glimpses of its subject drinking, smoking, pill-popping, and sketching in fervid bursts rather than trying to understand him. It doesn’t pontificate or wax philosophical or dig deeply into Saint Laurent’s psyche. It treats the man more like a piece of art to be displayed and observed. (To be fair, this year’s other Saint Laurent biopic, Yves Saint Laurent, does try to explain the man, and it fails pretty hard, so maybe Bonello has the right idea.)
Gaspard Ulliel, perhaps finally...

Well, that was fast. Late on Tuesday, the news dropped that Sony was pulling George Clooney's "The Monuments Men" from the release calendar. Yesterday, Kris, Greg and I speculated as to when the film would (or should) open in 2014. Today, we got our answer -- and, as Clooney hinted when the news initially broke, the all-star WWII story will indeed be a February release. Deadline revealed that the film has been set for February 7, 2014, booting Sony's "Robocop" remake to February 12 instead. One of Sony's remaining 2013 Oscar hopefuls, "American Hustle," is also affected by the shuffle: it...
