Before Glenn Whipp broke the story of James Toback’s serial sexual harassment with testimonies from 31 women, there was “Doctor Strange” director Scott Derrickson’s Twitter feed. He has nearly 67,000 followers who love his films as well as his passionate takedowns of sexism. When the Harvey Weinstein story first broke in early October, Derrickson cheered on the women who told their stories and the journalists who reported them — and soon he received a Dm from a follower, actress Selma Blair, who had a Toback story to tell.
Derrickson is good friends with Glenn Whipp, a longtime entertainment reporter at the paper. “[Blair] was scared, because she’s a single mother, and she didn’t want to be sued,” Whipp said in an interview with IndieWire on November 3. “With the Times, we can’t offer legal protection, but typically what happens is that the news organization — not the individual — is sued, and...

James Toback, the writer and director of films like Black and White and Two Girls and a Guy, has been accused of sexually harassing over 30 women over the course of the last three decades.
While rumors of Toback's behavior toward women had widely been reported in previous exposés, the Los Angeles Times published the full scope of Toback's actions after speaking to 38 of the director's victims.

More than 30 women have come forward to accuse director James Toback of sexual harassment. The Los Angeles Times broke the story, which is based on interviews with accusers whose accounts take place over several decades.
Toback, 72, has denied all allegations, telling the Times that he has either never met any of the women or, if he has, it “was for five minutes and have no recollection”; he also says it’s been “biologically impossible” for him to do anything he’s been accused of for the last 22 years due to diabetes and a heart condition.

31 of the 38 women spoke on the record about Toback, whose films include “The Gambler” and “The Pick-up Artist.” His most recent movie, “The Private Life of a Modern Woman,” stars Sienna Miller and premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival.

The classic film Willy Wonka starring Gene Wilder has had a sweet spot in our hearts for generations. Starting out as a children’s book to hitting the big screen for the first time in 1971 before Tim Burton delivered his take on the popular story in 2005, the story is now making its way to Hollywood in a unique way. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory will be in concert at the world famous Hollywood Bowl in a “Live to Film” celebration and lead by an all-star cast.
On November 3 and 4 you can be a part of a one-of-a-kind experience filled with singing, unique lights sounds and even smells.

You can never have too many songs that are catchy and cool at the same time. Blending melody and moodiness, Cincinnati’s Smut is the kind of hard-edged shoegaze that harkens back to the golden days of Swervedriver, only with the compact pop structures and sensibilities of Veruca Salt added to the equation.

The stage adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is currently serving up a sweet surprise to audiences on Broadway — and People has the first listen of its all-new cast recording!
The album, which will be released digitally on June 2 and hits stores June 23, features a blend of songs from the popular 1971 Gene Wilder-led film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with new tunes from Hairspray scribes Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

I consider Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to be one of if not the best book adaptations to film of all-time. 99% of the people who have seen it would agree that it’s better than Roald Dahl’s classic. And don’t get me wrong, the book is amazing in its own right but I don’t think anything can ever measure up to how incredible and original Gene Wilder’s character of Willy Wonka was. It’s a movie that will be talked about long after we’re all gone. But there’s one thing that bothers me about this film (other than Veruca Salt).

Once again, Wamg attended the 2017 Turner Classic Movie Film Festival in Hollywood, and as always, it did not disappoint!
Ahhh…so many movies, so little time to cover everything, but here are some highlights of my favorite movies of this year’s festival.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Shown poolside at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, this classic was perfect for opening night. Brightly colored inflatable balls and lights floated in the pool like some of Wonka’s best candies as guests enjoyed snacks and cocktails on a beautiful spring evening. In attendance for this special screening were some of the cast members of the original movie. Miss Veruca Salt herself, Julie Dawn Cole; Mike Teevee, also known as Paris Themmen; and one of the original Oompaloompas, Rusty Goffe.
Along with host Illeana Douglas, they recounted some great memories of being on the set of the film in Germany more than 45 years ago.

Yesterday I posted a tweet from Julie Dawn Cole (a.k.a. Veruca Salt) in which the Willy Wonka star expressed her sadness at the passing of former co-star Gene Wilder, who died yesterday at the age of 83 (read Drew's remembrance here). Now, Denise Nickerson, whose gum-snapping character Violet Beauregarde famously transformed into a human blueberry in the 1971 classic, has posted her own tribute, which she signed "Love, Violet": Rip Gene. You were so talented and kindhearted. You will be sorely missed by so many. All of us have lost Our Willy Wonka. Love, Violet — Denise Nickerson (@deniseviolet71) August 30, 2016 Nickerson, who was just 14 when Willy Wonka debuted, racked up a number of roles in the wake of the film's release, including a regular stint on the '70s variety series The Electric Company and as a beauty pageant contestant in Michael Ritchie's 1975 film Smile.

Julie Dawn Cole, the child actor who so perfectly embodied the spoiled, vitriolic Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory that a '90s alternative rock band named themselves after her, has weighed in on the death of her former co-star Gene Wilder on Twitter with a few simple, heartfelt words: Such very sad news. Words not enough. Treasured memories ???? — Julie Dawn Cole (@realverucasalt) August 29, 2016 While none of the other Wonka kids have yet spoken out on Wilder's death, we'll keep you updated if and when more of them pay tribute. Cole, for the record, has continued to act since starring in the 1971 classic and even paid homage to her most famous role in a show at the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe festival entitled Willy Wonka Revisited: The Veruca Salt Sessions. Two years ago she reunited with Wonka co-stars Paris Themmen (Mike TeeVee), Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde), Michael Bollner (Augustus Gloop...

Meanwhile, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, the much earlier adaptation directed by Mel Stuart, is still so beloved that it's being celebrated this week for no real reason at all. Except for yet another instance where we get to see what the kids look like today, all grown up.

Remember the first time you saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? When you saw Gene Wilder's Wonka slowly walk down that walkway, lose his cane, and roll forward into a somersault, transforming before our eyes into the whimsical character we know and love? It's a film full of fun, iconic moments like that, and it still puts a smile on people's faces to this day. This year marks the film's 44th anniversary, and while you'd expect a retrospective maybe at the 50 year mark (or at least the 45th), The Today Show and NBC managed to get an interview with some of the cast members while they were attending a convention in Orlando, Florida.
Unfortunately, Wilder himself wasn't present at the festivities, but the actors who played Charlie Bucket, Veruca Salt, Mike Teavee, Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, and Wonka's head Oompa Loompa were. Check out the interview below:

It seems many of the cast have remained friends over the years with their constant appearances at conventions helping them stick together. Themmen says: "We think of ourselves as part of a family. Maybe a bit of a dysfunctional family, but a family really."...

It's been 44 years since "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" hit theaters, and this morning the "Today" show staged a reunion of the five kid cast members (and one Oompa Loompa) just in case you were curious what they look like as middle-aged people. Not that it was much of a reunion: the group has kept in close touch over the years and regularly attend conventions together in places like Orlando, Florida. Among the startling "True Hollywood Story"-style revelations: Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde) doesn't chew gum! Peter Ostrum (Charlie Bucket) grew up to become a veterinarian!

Sitting down with the Today show on Wednesday, Peter Ostrum (Charlie Buckets), Paris Themmen (Mike Teavee), Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt), Rusty Goffe, Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregarde) and Michael Bollner (Augustus Gloop) couldn't help but gush about being part of the film and how they're all still connected by it.

On Tuesday at the computer-graphics convention Siggraph, The Hollywood Reporter writes, Pixar revealed the physical inspirations for Inside Out's team of anthropomorphic emotions. The film's character art director Albert Lozano told the crowd that the team (literally) drew from the looks of Hollywood icons both past and present. Amy Poehler's Joy, it turns out, was modeled on Audrey Hepburn and given the graceful movements of a gymnast. Sadness was originally drawn as sort of a living tear, but it gradually took on aspects of Rachel Dratch's Debbie Downer, as well as Wednesday Addams. For Disgust, the team took inspiration from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Veruca Salt and Poehler's Parks and Rec co-star Aubrey Plaza. Fear was always envisioned as having prominent eyes, like those of Don Knotts and Mr. Bean. And Anger, well, that was an easy one — he was just a square.

The origins of band names are often fascinating, and many of them come from movie titles or elements of movies. Some of the best choices, in my opinion, are Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (from The Wild One), Mogwai (from Gremlins), Duran Duran (from Barbarella), Veruca Salt (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), The Misfits (from The Misfits) and The Dismemberment Plan, which comes from a line in Groundhog Day spoken by actor Stephen Tobolowsky as the character Ned Ryerson. I now have a new favorite band name origin, though, and it also involves Tobolowsky, years before his most memorable turn in that Bill Murray movie. It turns out, according to Tobolowsky himself, that Radiohead is pretty much named for his psychic powers. Dangerous Minds relayed the...

Set in London in 1887, the series centres around the story of our indomitable heroine Hetty Feather as she is returned to the awe-inspiring institution of the Foundling Hospital, the place where she was deposited as an infant and which she is to now call home.
Joining Hetty, played by Isabel Clifton, in her adventures are Dasharn Anderson as her foundling brother Gideon, and Gus Barry as boy's gang leader Mathias, with Polly Allen as bully Sheila.
13-year-old Isabel Clifton (represented by Sandra Singer Associates) stars as Hetty in her first professional screen role. Isabel trains at Singer Stage School in Essex . Isabel said “Sandra told me the news I had been made an offer to play ‘Hetty’ while I was helping at...

It is humanly impossible to be excited by the idea of a new talk show. When's the last time you sat through an entire talk show monologue? Was it recently? If so, then why? What did you hope to achieve by hearing three jokes about current events? Don't you understand that the internet will compile any worthwhile talk show clips for you in the morning? Come on. Grow up. Luckily, James Corden seemed very aware of boring talk show tropes during his "Late Late Show" debut and did his best to circumvent them. The Tony-winning actor served up a modest but promising first show with the help of guests Tom Hanks and Mila Kunis, who were brilliant and utterly boring (respectively). Kunis spent what seemed like a fortnight on Corden's couch discussing her jewelry designs. Almost bravely dull. To Corden's credit, there were practically no other lowlights to his debut.

Well, sometimes some confusion can be a good thing. When I was first aware of this film’s title, I thought that this may be a remake/reboot of the 1989 Peter Weller starring monster thriller with a massive CGI beastie akin to those from Pacific Rim or last Summer’s retooled Godzilla. Seems I was mistaken. Leviathan doesn’t concern itself with a colossal rampaging demon risen from the depths, but rather it’s a complex drama set in a dreary, Russian fishing village (yes, it has subtitles). The title doesn’t refer to a scaly giant that the film’s heroes must face. They instead must square off against an even more formidable adversary, for this leviathan is comprised not of claws and fangs, but corruption and the cruelties of fate itself.
The story begins as the sun rises over that Russian village, as Nikolay (Aleksey Serebryakov) heads away...

In this week’s episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, the arrival of Ethel’s ex, hot-tempered strongman Dell Toledo (Michael Chiklis), set off a power struggle so intense, it left one member of Elsa’s troupe headed for the big top in the sky.

Charlie’s near-death experiences in the Chocolate Factory still haunt us 50 years later.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is marketed as a children’s movie, but it is Not a children’s movie. It is a horror movie that children watch that scars them for life.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Charlie entering that forsaken Chocolate Factory. In print, at least, the movie came out seven years later in 1971—but seeing as the book is what inspired the movie adaptation, it’s safe to say it is responsible for all of this.
Do you remember Willy Wonka as an inspiring, feel-good family film? Clearly you blocked out these 7 moments (which, truth be told, is probably for the best. Read on at your own risk):
1. The Boat Ride: Let’s get this out of the way right away, because it’s obviously the most horrific scene in this movie and probably any movie ever. Willy...

Kids say the darnedest things! Isn't that what Bill Cosby taught us back in the 1990s? Well, the legendary comedian was right, obviously, especially when it comes to memorable movie quotes. We wanted to take a look back through the decades at some of the most hilarious, touching, unforgettable lines said by kid characters (most are live-action, but there are a few animated characters too). We even asked some of our friends and readers what their favorites were and came up with this list of 25, but it just as easily could have been 50.
And if you notice we paid extra attention to the '80s and '90s, let's just say that's when many of us were growing up; we're sure younger (and older) readers could come up with an entirely different lineup of quotes. Feel free to share them in the comments!

Ready to feel old? '90s rockers Veruca Salt are doing a goddamn reunion tour. The Nina Gordon/Louise Post-fronted band, who rose to fame on the strength of their hit 1994 single "Seether," has announced a 15-date North American tour (full lineup below) that will see all four original members (Gordon, Post, Steve Lack and Jim Shapiro) hitting the stage together for the first time in nearly two decades. The reunion ball got rolling just last month when the group revealed they'd be releasing a 10-inch on Record Store Day (April 19) featuring "Seether" and two all-new songs entitled "The Museum of Broken Relationships" and "It's Holy." Gordon left the band to pursue a solo career in 1998, reportedly due to a creative dispute with Post. The band released a total of four albums and three EPs under various lineups. Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday, April 18. Will...

I am just kidding about Taylor Swift — who could easily be a V.S. Angel if she dropped the mic, ruffled up some feathers, and listened a wee bit harder for the sound of a bell jingling on a passerby’s g-string.
Poof! Wings granted.
In fact, the only Angel who seemed to truly dwarf Taylor Swift, especially during the “British Invasion” opening number, was this Sexy Butterfly on Drugs a.k.a. returning champion Karlie Kloss.

Speak by Marla Mase (backed by the Tomás Doncker Band is a strong album that immediately draws comparisons to the works of Hole, Veruca Salt or The Breeders albeit with a slightly heavier tone. I was reminded quite a bit of that mid-90’s ultra-aggro flannel rock. Bands like Brother Cane or early Alice in Chains without the ugly bite of some of their more well-known tracks.
“Piece of Peace” is a high-energy, aggressive track talking about the notions of human demands. “So what’s stoppin’ us?” Mase intones while discussing the needs of humanity. As a kind of anthem in these post-Occupy years, “Piece of Peace” really works. It strikes an angry chord but really is more a call to action that should speak to the budding revolutionary within all of us.

Alt-rock band Veruca Salt has reunited. The '90s darlings tweeted that they will be recording new songs in the near future with Brad Wood, who produced the band’s 1994 hit record, American Thighs. Wood’s fingerprints were all over a number of other seminal '90s LPs, like Liz Phair’s Exile In Guyville and Whip-Smart, Ben Lee’s Grandpa Would, Sunny Day Real Estate’s Diary, and Seam’s The Problem With Me. According to another tweet from Veruca Salt’s page, Nina Gordon and Louise Post have been “writing/rehearsing like mad,” and both bassist Steve Lack and ...

You’ll have to excuse me; I’m going through something of a metaphysical crisis. I’ve been having difficulty coming to terms with the fact that I’m spending my Sunday night writing about a television program that devotes a not unsubstantial amount of time to a 22-year-old woman inadvertently drinking nail polish remover. So if you detect a slight tinge of sadness in this week’s blog, it’s that.
Last week, we saw the whimper-not-a-bang eviction of Helen and the announcement of a shocking twist: one of the four jurors – Helen included – would have the opportunity to re-enter the game!

You can make a lot of arguments for Hollywood’s creativity circling the drain. The upcoming film based on the Grumpy Cat meme for example or the plans for Casablanca 2. (Yeah, that’s actually happening) But the biggest indication that originality is leaving Hollywood like snakes out of a plane window opened by Samuel L. Jackson is the sheer volume of remakes and reboots that are coming our way.
There has been the odd remake in the past like War Of The Worlds and Godzilla (which is getting the remake treatment again next year) but in the past four or five years, the Hollywood remake machine has gone into overdrive with everything from Footloose to Spiderman getting a remake. And while some reboots arrive at the right point to improve on some aspects of the original (War Of The Worlds) or restart a flagging franchise (The Amazing Spiderman), some of...

Gene Wilder doesn't think he's funny -- at least not in real life.
"[People] say, 'What a comic, what a funny guy,' and I'm not -- I am really not -- except in a comedy film," said the actor, who made a rare public appearance Thursday night (June 13) at the 92Y in New York City. "I also make my wife laugh once or twice in the house, but nothing special."
It's a bit odd to hear Wilder, known for playing comedic roles in films, including "Blazing Saddles," "The Producers," and "Young Frankenstein," to say something like this. Then again, Wilder always was a dramatic actor at heart, studying at renown institutions the Old Vic, in England, and Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio, in New York, before earning acclaim in his now classic comedies.
Last night, Wilder spoke about his career in and outside of show business, with Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osbourne.

Perhaps it was a lonely childhood that fostered the director's extraordinary visual imagination. Famed for films like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, the acclaimed director is also renowned for a ghoulish aesthetic. And his new film, about a boy who brings his dead dog back to life, is no exception
Tim Burton's gothic office in Belsize Park in north London belonged a century ago to Arthur Rackham, the celebrated illustrator of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland and The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm. In the upstairs studio room of the house, one restless and teeming imagination has been seamlessly replaced by another. "Rackham apparently used to have all his fairy models hung from these spars," Burton tells me, nodding toward the exposed beams above his head. In the mullioned light of large leaded windows, which look out on a rambling walled garden that seems to come from another age altogether,...

It was about 15 months ago that DC Comics announced it would undergo a relaunch of its entire comic book universe. Enter the New 52.
We now find ourselves passing the one-year mark of the first of its new titles hitting the shelves, with more than enough to reflect on as the publisher has given us some good, some bad and some downright puzzling.
It goes without saying that money is the motivation for the entire endeavor - despite DC's talk of a unified continuity and modern accessibility - and this has been a point of criticism by many longtime readers. But isn't every business in it to turn a profit? That doesn't mean we can't get a worthwhile product for our hard-earned cash though.
Let's start on a positive note. DC wanted new readers - or at least more of them - in the midst of a swooning market while time...

Last night’s episode was a tasty one this week, as the designers were asked to create a look made out of candy for their first, (and everyone's favorite), "the unconventional challenge." I have to say, I love these challenges on Project Runway! You can really see what the designers can do -- and what makes them go crazy. Guest judging this episode is the beautiful Dylan Lauren, daughter of the fashion legend Ralph Lauren and owner of Dylan's candy bar! Back in the work room, designers are slaving away like oompa loompa's in the Willy Wonka work room! While working I notice that there seems to be a bully in the workroom -- and no it’s not Veruca Salt wanting candy from her daddy,...
