Zack Sharf Digital News Director Will Poulter revealed in a recent GQ magazine interview that he was mistaken for the “Toy Story” villain Sid by a moviegoer during a recent trip to Los Angeles. The actor, who recently joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Adam Warlock in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” spoke out against often being reduced to his physical attributes by the media and by fans. Poulter’s transition from goofy “We’re the Millers” teens to Marvel heartthrob has gotten plenty of media attention over the last few years. “A guy at a urinal in LA last week turned to me and said, ‘You’re in “Toy Story,” right?’ And I was like, ‘Well, that was animated,'” Poulter said. “I don’t want to be rude. I also appreciate there’s a meme going round of me—I dressed up as Sid from ‘Toy Story’ for anti-bullying week. So arguably I haven’t helped my case. But [‘Toy Story’ came out in] 1995. I was two. And they weren’t doing it through live action.”
Melanie Lynskey: Losing Touch With Kate Winslet After ‘Heavenly Creatures’ Was ‘Painful’ and ‘More Heartbreaking Than Some Breakups’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet earned their acting breakthroughs together as the leads of Peter Jackson’s 1994 drama “Heavenly Creatures,” but the two actors grew apart in the years afterward as Winslet’s star power exploded with “Titanic.” On a new episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast (via Entertainment Weekly), Lynskey said losing her close friendship with Winslet was “painful.” “When I lost touch with Kate, it was more heartbreaking than some breakups that I’ve had,” Lynskey said. “It was so painful and it wasn’t like anything happened, it’s just she became a gigantic, international movie star and she didn’t have a lot of time and then, suddenly, she’d be in Los Angeles and not have time.”
In a 2012 interview with Time magazine, Lynskey said the two actors had “a very intense” relationship. “It was more intense than some love affairs that I have had in my life,” the “Yellowjackets” actor said at the time. “We developed such a bond that for a long time we couldn’t let it go. We would write each other letters and talk on the phone all the time. We were in constant contact for so long.” “Heavenly Creatures” stars Lynskey and Winslet as teenage girls whose intense friendship ends with the murder of one of their parents. Speaking on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Lynskey said no one is to blame for the two actors losing touch. Their separation “gradually happened” over time as may friendships do. “It happens in relationships,” Lynskey said. “People kind of drift apart, but that was so painful for me.” Lynskey also remembered an unnamed actor with whom she felt she’d be lifelong friends with during filming, only for that actor to break things off almost immediately after

John Leguizamo Says 1993 ‘Super Mario’ Movie Cast Real Strippers and ‘Disney Was Not Happy’: ‘There Was All This Butt-Heading’
Zack Sharf Digital News Director “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” is heading toward $1 billion at the worldwide box office, which is a far cry from the disastrous fate that met the first attempt to bring the Nintendo video game franchise to life. The live-action “Super Mario Bros.” movie in 1993 crashed and burned at the box office, grossing less than $40 million worldwide. Many Mario fans found the film too dark and adult-oriented, but Luigi actor John Leguizamo recently told GQ magazine in a video interview that what they shot was far darker than what was released. “[The directors] had this dark, dark vision that Disney was not okay with so there was all this butt-heading that was incredible,” Leguizamo said. “That party scene? Those were all strippers from North Carolina that they put on the set and they had them in the most revealing clothes and costumes.”
