Adventureland

Columbia Pictures and director David Fincher have picked their cast for The Social Network, the drama about the formation of Facebook.

Jesse Eisenberg will play Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerbeg and Justin Timberlake will star as Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became F-book’s president. Andrew Garfield will play Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who dissed Zuckerberg as the social network became a phenomenon.

Robert Pattinson has been spilling all kinds of beans while in Cannes this week.

First, he confirmed that he will be starring in the fourth installment of the Twilight series. Now he has announced that he will also appear in British stage director Declan Donnellan's film debut, entitled Bel Ami, which is based on a short story by Guy de Maupassant.

Adventureland, which we saw at Sundance back in January, arrives in theaters today.

Is it a day at the amusement park or a trip on The Zipper after one too many corndogs?

Travel back in time to find out.

We love RyRy like this: solo!

On Monday night, without the HoJo wife by his side, Ryan walked the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of his new film Adventureland all by his lonesome.

We saw Adventureland at Sundance and were sorely disappointed, especially since Ryan is “criminally underused and overdressed. He plays the park’s hot handy man. Where’s the slo-mo shot of him shirtless and covered in grease?”

There’s something about Kristen Stewart that just makes us kinda want to sock her in the face.

Maybe it’s the fact that this picture seems to say, “Hi, my name is Kristen Stewart and I’m a miserable, whiny, ingrate.”

Who shit in her cereal?

Why does she always look so terminally over it?

You’re an 18-year-old movie star/millionaire, K-Stew. You’re at the premiere of your new movie Adventureland. Things can’t be that bad. Suck it up and smile, slut.

You’re an actress. Act like you give a rip.

Ugh.

She bugs!

We know that movies about losing “it” will never go out of style, but we also doubt they’ll ever reach the nadir (or quality) they hit in the 80s.

Adventureland has many trappings integral to the genre; drugs, summer boredom, excessive drinking, hormonal youth thrust together in close proximity. But it can’t touch the quality of Say Anything/Superbad/Almost Famous no matter how much writer-director Greg Mottola wants it to.
