And it got weird and worse(?) this month, as they added a 14-title retrospective of the Golden Raspberry Awards. Titled “And the Razzie Goes To…”,Criterion’s grouping compiles 14 movies that come complete with bees, turkey time and whatever the hellTom Greenwas doing for the duration ofFreddy Got Fingered.

Tom Greenhas cancer. It is early 2000, and he is about to go under for surgery, and guess what? He’s recording the whole thing because he would like to educate you on the world of testicular cancer, and if you can see his internal organs while doing so, so be it. And so there he is at 28 years old in a hospital gown, making jokes while medical professionals get ready to chop off one of his nuts. “This is going to freaking suck,” he says. But, if we know anything about him, nothing is off limits for Tom Green. It was the ultimate combination of tragedy and comedy; you have a young man in his prime facing death while telling the world’s greatest testicle joke. This comedian turned cancer into performance art, which made me believe God might have a twisted sense of humor… kinda like Tom Green himself.

There is, a critic will argue, a great deal of value in finding and discussing the worst films of the year. All the films released in a given epoch are a reflection of the trends and ideas that produced them, and scoring the bottom of the barrel for the worst filmmaking, the worst ideas, and the most misguided thinking will provide a valuable analysis of where we are as a society. Worst-of lists are important and vital and should be written with enthusiasm. They also let critics blow off steam a little bit; we don't have the luxury to skip bad movies or avoid talking about the ones we hate. It's our job.
The Golden Raspberries, or the Razzies for short, however, lost sight of that value a while back. The annual Razzies announcement is usually a snarky affair that only serves to pick on the year's least popular blockbusters,...

Some apotheosis of film culture has been reached with Freddy Got Fingered‘s addition to the Criterion Channel. Three years after we interviewedTom Greenabout his consummate film maudit, it’s appearing on the service’s Razzie-centered program that also includes the now-admired likes ofCruising,Heaven’s Gate,Querelle,andIshtar;the still-due likes ofUnder the Cherry Moon;and the more-contested Gigli, Swept Away, andNicolas Cage-ledWicker Man.In all cases it’s an opportunity to reconsider one of the lamest, thin-gruel entities in modern culture.

Nicholas Houlthas shared some insight into his adolescence, claiming that it was less like the teenage antics depicted inSkinsthan people might assume.
The actor played Tony Stonem, a popular sixth-form student with a large group of friends and several romantic suitors, in seasons one and two of the teen drama.
Airing for seven seasons between 2007 to 2013,Skinswas considered groundbreaking for its explicit and dark depictions of young people’s lives, covering topics such as mental health issues, drug and alcohol abuse and suicide.
However, in a new interview on Hits Radio Breakfast, Hoult claimed that his younger years weren’t nearly as dramatic as those of his character.
“My life was moreInbetweeners,”he told show hostTom Green,adding: “Watching that I was like, this I can relate to in many ways more.”

The Fall of 2001 was a tense time in America, to say the least. The 9/11 attacks had permanently altered the course of history as grief and paranoia swept the country over. A brewing war in Afghanistan heralded escalating violence overseas, while at home there appeared a strange, spooky bioterrorism campaign that weaponized the bacteria called anthrax. "Amerithrax," as the FBI called it, involved a series of infected letters mailed to prominent media figures and two Senators, leading to the death of five people and long-lasting health problems for more. 30 Rockefeller Plaza, headquarters ofNBC,was among the targets, which meant that "Saturday Night Live"and its host during the height of the attacks,Drew Barrymore,could do nothing but crack jokes knowing that anthrax may have been floating through the building.
The anthrax saga started with the hospitalization and subsequent death ofRobert Stevenson October 4, 2001, an event that initially seemed like an isolated incident.

Famous exesDrew BarrymoreandJustin Longreunited and reflected on their relationship. Long appeared on the season three premiere of "The Drew Barrymore Show"on Sept. 12, and the duo took the opportunity to talk about their past relationship and how much they've changed in the years since.
The show shared a clip of Long's appearance on itsTwitteraccount. "I feel like we've been through so much together," Barrymore explained in the video, wiping tears from her eyes. "When we used to talk and FaceTime I was always like, 'You know, I've really grown up, Justin.' I always wanted to prove to you what a different person I was than when we dated."
Long said, "You were the best." Barrymore continued, "We had so much fun but we were more hedonistic. A little more immature. We would get together, we would break up. It was chaos. It was hella fun.

Over the last couple years, Barrymore has been in a bit of a career renaissance. After her (excellent)NetflixseriesSanta Clarita Dietwas canceled, she went on hiatus from acting and pursued a new calling: daytime talk show host.
