McDonald’s was there for me when no one else was
McDonald’s sales have slumped. Maybe the public wants healthier food. Maybe there’s too much competition. Maybe people aren’t into the chipotle barbecue snack wrap. McDonald’s leaders have vowed to reverse the downturn by recommitting to “hot, fresh food,” by selling off certain outlets to independent owners — which would reduce the number of corporate-covered employees with a newly raised minimum wage — and by cutting $300 million in costs.

Bob Odenkirk isn’t the first comedian to fail to make an impression at Saturday Night Live and then go on to do bigger and better things. He shares that honor with the likes of Stephen Colbert, Sarah Silverman, Conan O’Brien, Robert Downey Jr. and many more. But still it’s baffling that Odenkirk...

Here’s a good one to chew on as we head off to the pre-Oscar parties. Last month, I reported that Steven Spielberg wants Chris Pratt to anchor the rebirth of Indiana Jones that is being developed at Disney. It’s very early days, but my sources tell me that, assuming a script comes in to his satisfaction, Spielberg hopes to direct that film. He directed the first four with Harrison Ford as the swashbuckling archaeologist.

"The Interview" Continues To Rake It In Online
In the wake of threats from hackers that promised backlash against the controversial film, movie theaters refused to screen it on its Dec. 25 release date. As a result, the film probably won’t be remembered for its mediocre comedy, but for the way it ushered in a new way for studios to premiere new films. As ReadWrite’s Adriana Lee noted, Sony didn’t need the cooperation of movie theaters to distribute a film to viewers.

'The Interview' pulls in $1 million at theaters, but on-demand generated earnings is the big mystery
A million dollars in Christmas Day ticket sales isn't exactly Sony acing The Interview. But the experience of the world's first premium video-on-demand release is a nice thing to have on the résumé. Playing at only 330 hastily arranged independent U.S. theaters after the studio meltdown heard 'round the world, The Interview averaged about $3,000 per venue on Thursday, which would be considered solid...

How Hollywood’s toxic (and worsening) addiction to franchises changed movies forever in 2014.
I did not begin 2014 by imagining that the most resonant movie moment of the 12 months to come would be a quiet, resigned stare-down in a bathroom. But it has been that kind of year. Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Birdman tells the story of an actor trying to outrun a character that threatens to devour him. Birdman is his support system, his claim to fame, the devil on his shoulder, and the demolisher of his soul. In short, it’s his best and worst self, depending on his mood.
