Some fun Guest stuff for all you bastard people: A Fame Audit from Fametracker, an interview with Movie City News and Caryn James' feature on the retrospective in today's Times. It seems that Guest has always wanted to just do only three "mockumentaries" and that he doesn't really like TV except The Office. And Gothamist once shared an elevator with Guest when he was promoting Almost Heroes (Matthew Perry and Chris Farley as 18th century explorers - not being shown in the tribute). Guest asked us what we thought of his seersucker suit, and Gothamist couldn't help ourselves when the words "It's kinda Matlocky" came out. But we didn't mean Matlocky in a bad way!

You know it's the Oscars when P. Diddy busts out the velvet suit! Gothamist loves the Oscars, and we're going to attempt to do a little liveblogging. We might need to order a vat of caffeine and an EMT team at the ready; not because Chris Rock will be boring, but because we think that Gil Cates might kill us with his newfangled ideas and because we're meh about this year's nominees in the big categories. Anyway, onto the show.

Gothamist doesn't know how to take the 8/10 score we got on the Guardian's Quentin Tarantino quiz. On the one hand, we thought we knew our QT. On the other hand, why the hell should we know the QT, it's embarrassing we knew that much to break 5.

- Fametracker's Fame Audit of William James Murray: We second their thought, "Anyone who will go into detail, on the record, about how much he loathes Chevy Chase is someone whose friend we would like to be."

Ouch - Tom Green, in yesterday's Times feature about his new MTV talk show, said, regarding not being on speaking terms with ex-wife Drew Barrymore, "When we got divorced, we did so because we didn't like each other. Do you talk to people you don't like?" Well, as a matter of fact, Gothamist does. But it's because we want to mess with their minds.

Aha! Fametracker posted its Fame Audit of Harrison Ford, with unerring timing after our Friday post, Harrison Ford, Gothamist Doesn't Know You Anymore. Gothamist wholeheartedly agrees with the audit, but would like that it's a testament to Ford's skill that he convincingly acts like he really likes Melanie Griffith in Working Girl.

Harrison Ford, where art thou? You're our Han Solo, our Indiana Jones...hell, our Jack Ryan (we need a good CIA hero in this day and age, we suppose). It seems you've been going through a three-quarter-life crisis. In love with Calista Flockhart? The earring? The crappy movies? It's so sad to Gothamist that you have to star in a movie with Bedhead (as for Hollywood Homicide, A.O. Scott likes it, Manohla Dargis doesn't). Yes, you're the most popular star on the earth, but we're waiting for Fametracker to do a Fame Audit.
