Whiplash Clip "Rushing or Dragging"

Damien Chazelle’s coming-of-age – or perhaps, given the subject matter, it should be drumming-of-age – music film Whiplash already has plenty of positive buzz about it thanks to a multiple award-winning appearance at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Whiplash features Miles Teller as Andrew Neyman, an ambitious 19-year-old jazz drummer who attends a high-profile music conservatory, where legendary teacher Terence Fletcher ( J.K. Simmons ) rules the roost. But Andrew discovers that reaching for perfection comes with a price, as Fletcher is a hot-tempered, oft-maniacal bully. In this clip, Fletcher demonstrates the difference between rushing your tempo and dragging, a point he gets across by throwing a chair at the young man and slapping him. It’s the sort of teaching method R. Lee Ermey’s Sergeant Hartman would probably appreciate. Watch the clip after the Jump... Simmons, while he’s played softer characters in some of Jason Reitman’s films and TV work, is spectacular as th

J.K. Simmons Talks Terminator: Genesis & His Role In The Upcoming Films

J.K. Simmons is in Cannes at the moment with Whiplash , a film that already had a warm reception at Sundance and Empire spoke to him about his upcoming roles, in 2015's Terminator: Genesis . “I was leery of it when it first came my way, when my agent sent me the idea for it," said Simmons. "It's a small part, which they insist gets much bigger in the sequels. But I was very pleasantly surprised by the script itself." That promise of a bigger role in two further planned sequels chimes with what we've been told about Matt Smith's also-unspecified role in the films, so they're clearly planning quite some distance ahead. Simmons, who had seen the first two Cameron films but not the later follow-ups, has some basis on which to compare this story to what has gone before. "This, I think, is a reimagining. They don't want to call it a sequel or a reboot. It's the world that James Cameron created with Arnold [Schwarzenegger, obviously]. A

Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice Title Revealed

So what do you think of the title. After months of guesses, speculation and one reveal of Ben Affleck ’s Batman in a monochrome picture, we now know the title for Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel follow-up.  Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Clearly intended to lead – as everyone and their super-powered uncle could have predicted – to Warner Bros. planned Justice League film, Batman V Superman will see DC Comics’ two titans (plus Wonder Woman and whoever else shows up in cameo form etc.) duking it out over some presumed difference of opinion, egged on by Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, until they realise their forces are better united. And though he shot some early footage, Snyder is now officially rolling the cameras on the film in Michigan, with Henry Cavill back as Supes alongside Affleck, Eisenberg, Gal Gadot Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons (as Batman’s butler, Alfred) and Holly Hunter in a role shrouded in secrecy, which the official announcement refers
