Al Pacino, 'Phil Spector,' and Media Justice

The gigantic frizzed-out wig on Al Pacino's head might be
enough to make you curious about Phil Spector, the new HBO drama written and
directed by David Mamet. In a multitude of wigs as conspicuously creepy as the
actual Spector's, Pacino plays the fantastically successful music producer and
reputed loony-tunes guy convicted of the 2007 murder in his home of Hollywood
wannabe and club hostess Lana Clarkson. The
first question the film raise isn't about the murder though. It's an issue that
comes up with both Pacino and with Mamet today: are you getting the good or the
evil twin? Pacino the actor who can still dazzle, or the over-the-top
sputtering blowhard? Mamet the disciplined writer of The Untouchables and
Glengarry Glen Ross or the self-indulgent filmmaker (The Winslow Boy) who dictates
that everyone to speak in artificial, terse Mamet-talk?
Watch Jimmy Kimmel's Oscar-Worthy Parody "Movie: The Movie"

If the Oscar show was all about safety and nostalgia, Jimmy Kimmel’s Post-Oscar special proves what movies are really about: big-name stars, silly plots, endless promotion. Kimmel got some of the biggest stars and plenty of Oscar winners and nominees to join in his parody trailer for Movie: The Movie. There’s George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Tom Hanks as RoboLawyer, Gary Oldman as a Centaur, Gabourey Sidibe as Black Hitler, Matt Damon as a bunch of grapes and much more.
