What movie best resembles what you think the future will look/be like? (Suggested by John-Edouard S.) (vote)

Please Meet Barney Clark
Barney Clark has already been discovered; he's the titular character in director Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist. But Barney's managers realized that when industry types come to the IMDb to research new faces and to double-check filmography data that having a photo of their client on their main page would help keep them out of the poorhouse. Make sure your client's face graces their page, add their headshot using IMDb's Publicity Photos today.

IMDb Movie of the Day
Little Shop of Horrors -- the musical, not the 1960 Roger Corman cheapie -- began its life in 1982 in a small off-off Broadway theater with a cast of unknowns, a phenomenal score by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (who would later go on to Disney fame with The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast), and the story of nerdy boy Seymour, girl-of-his-dreams Audrey, her sadistic dentist boyfriend, and a man-eating plant that threatened to devour the world. Not your typical musical fodder, Little Shop became a word-of-mouth hit and its popularity soared, culminating in a 1983 New York Drama Critics Circle Award, which it won over a little show called Cats. Hollywood came calling, and a film version was born in 1986 which rewrote the ending (after preview audiences tsk-tsked at the original nihilistic conclusion), added an Oscar-nominated tune ("Mean Green Mother From Outer Space") and replaced the entire cast with non-theater stars -- save the original Audrey, Ellen Greene, whose awkward demeanor belied a voice that could knock Ethel Merman off her feet. Despite the perfect casting of Rick Moranis as Seymour, Steve Martin as crazy dentist Orin, and a lovely, funky Greek chorus of three Motown-fueled girls, the film version of Little Shop found itself adrift in the '80s, when both studios and audiences thought a musical meant something MTV-friendly like Flashdance, not a wild and wacky spoof. Little Shop instead, like its predecessor, found a fervently devoted cult audience, who still grow misty-eyed at love duet "Suddenly Seymour." - Mark Englehart (more) (Movie of the Day Archive)

Emmy Winners, Photos, and More in Road to the Emmys!
The nation's Arts and Entertainment editors were given another chance to work "Lost" and "Desperate" into their headlines after the 57th Annual Emmy Awards. Though the show was derided in some circles as a snooze, the last hour had more twists than a season finale. While "Lost" picked up "Outstanding Dramatic Series," the one sure bet of the evening, "Desperate Housewives" winning "Outstanding Comedy Series," was not to be. There were more surprises as well so check out the rest of the winners (and nominees) in our Road to the Emmys section. And, as always, our good friends at WireImage have all of the pictures from this year's show, starting with the weekend's pre-functions, then the red carpet arrivals, moving on into the show, the pressroom and into the evening. Additionally, you can see whether the fearless predictions from our friends at GoldDerby.com came to pass. This year's Road to the Emmys is sponsored by Olay's Total Effects.
