When I was a kid I always wanted to go to Universal Studios. After my favorite Nick shows, it always said "filmed in front of a live studio audience at Universal Studios". Sadly, I never got to be on LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE. I also haven't ridden the JURASSIC PARK ride. I live in Texas. We have Six Flags and a small ass version of Legoland. The reason I am even talking about all this has to do... Read More...

Chris Pine is climbing up the TheWrap's PowerGrid this week, thanks to "Star Trek Into Darkness." The actor is now among the Top 200 list, which none of his co-stars can boast.

Indie "Frances Ha" saw its director, writer and producer move up this week. Noah Baumbach, who worked with Greta Gerwig on the project, jumped up just behind "The Hobbit's" Peter Jackson.

Plus, director Jean-Pierre Jeunet is on his way back to directing English-language films.

The term “zombie director” refers to a board member who’s elected without the support of a majority of the shareholder votes —  and their existance infuriates corporate governance watchdogs. But Cablevision reports today that two of the five candidates for the board seats to represent public investors failed to meet that threshold at yesterday’s annual meeting. Since the company only nominated five people for the openings — and there were no outside candidates — they couldn’t lose. But Bond Street Holdings’ Vincent Tese won with just 45.2% supporting him and 54.8% withholding approval. New Century Holdings’ Leonard Tow  was supported by 48.2%. Another director who failed to win a majority last time — former JP Morgan Chase Managing Director Thomas Reifenheiser — barely made it above that level with 50.5% support. The results outraged New York City Comptroller John Liu who oversees the city pension funds’ 532,020 Class A Cablevision shares and had urged investors to oppose the board candidates. “Shareowners delivered a stinging rebuke to the five Cablevision directors we opposed for being ineffective and unaccountable, including majority votes against two of them,” Liu said. “Both Mr. Tese and Dr. Tow, should immediately step down. In Mr. Tese’s case, this is the third majority vote against his directorship in the past four years. Enough is enough.” Liu is running for mayor as city labor leaders allege that Cablevision CEO Jim Dolan refused to bargain in good faith with unionized cable installers — a charge that the company rejects. Yesterday the company called in police when union protesters disrupted the shareholder meeting.

Despite the miserable weather, film financiers reported a strong market at the Cannes Film Festival, with Lionsgate and the Weinstein Co. making the biggest splashes with their acquisitions of Guillaume Canet's "Blood Ties" and Stephen Frears' "Philomena," respectively.

"Cannes was a strong market and titles were priced at the right levels," said the Gersh Agency's Jay Cohen, who noted that equity funds were very active and distributors seemed to buy what they wanted early on.
