In this morning’s roundup of movie news ‘n’ notes from around the web, Michael Moore shakes up the Academy, while Jodie Foster and M. Night Shyamalan have directing troubles.
Jason Apuzzo reacts with horror to the election of Michael Moore (AMPAS photo below) to the Academy’s board of governors: “The ongoing ruination of what was once a special institution continues unabated, apparently with no adults around to stop it.” In this context, the word adults means conservatives, though Apuzzo does reveal (shockingly!) that one of the 43 members of the board belongs in that category.
