Buzz's Favorite Movie Bad Boys
This Friday we'll get a peek at Michael Cera's mustached, naughty alter ego, Francois, in the new release Youth in Revolt. Francois is a rebel, torching buildings and breaking into girls dorm rooms — and yes, naturally, he's French. In honor of his general badass-ness, I decided to round up some of my favorite Francois predecessors in film (warning: lots of greasy hair and leather jackets ahead).
The Results Are In: Recast The Breakfast Club
For last Wednesday's Recast challenge, I asked you guys to choose a whole new cast for the John Hughes classic, The Breakfast Club. This was by far the most wildly popular Recast challenge yet, and there were so many good ideas. I particularly loved PinkRabbit's pick for Frankie Muniz to play the geek role originated by Anthony Michael Hall, and I was pleasantly surprised by Honeysugar28 choosing Scarlett Johansson for the Molly Ringwald part.
Reminder: Recast The Breakfast Club
I've already gotten TONS of entries for this week's Recast challenge, where I ask you to recast the John Hughes favorite The Breakfast Club. So if you haven't already entered, hurry up and leave your entry in the comment section below!
Who today would best personify the princess originated by Ringwald or the jock and the basket case captured so well by Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy?

Watch the Touching Oscar Tribute to John Hughes
Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick played beloved characters in John Hughes movies (Ringwald played multiple, in fact), and the actors took the stage to honor the life of the acclaimed director. After sharing a few memories, we were treated to a montage of some of Hughes's most famous movies from Ferris Bueller's Day off to The Breakfast Club and beyond. Afterward, more actors including Macaulay Culkin, Jon Cryer, and Ally Sheedy took the stage to add to the love.
TV Show Check-In: Community
I've already handed in my midseason evaluations for Cougar Town and Accidentally on Purpose, but another show that I've been following is Community. The lead-in of the NBC Thursday night comedy lineup, the show centers around a group of social misfits at Greendale Community College who band together to form a Spanish study group. Joel McHale stars as Jeff, the leader of the motley crew but the show also features other familiar faces, including Chevy Chase and Mad Men's Alison Brie.
Buzz In: What Are Your Favorite Movie Songs?
When the Golden Globes nominees were announced, I paid special attention to the Best Song picks since I've had Kate Hudson singing "Cinema Italiano" stuck in my head ever since I saw Nine (check for my review next week).
As you probably already know, I'm a sucker for a solid soundtrack. The right tune can make a pivotal film scene, so when one comes along that's a perfect fit, I'm always associating it with its corresponding flick.
Pilot Watch: Community
The networks have announced their Fall schedules, but which series will be worth watching? Throughout the Summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren't reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
Rest in Peace, John Hughes
John Hughes, writer and director of many beloved movies, has passed away at the age of 59. He reportedly had a heart attack while taking a morning walk today in Manhattan.
Just hearing Hughes' name makes me feel nostalgic.
