  1. Frankly I think it could spell his doom whether he underestimates her or not. She took down a cold-blooded killer with an automatic weapon pointed at her in an instant - that's a level of fighting ability that none of the characters we've seen, including Peggy, can match. It would probably take someone like Steve to last long enough in a fight to realize how dangerous she is and act accordingly.
  2. Andrew Lloyd Weber can't be crazy enough to try a version with real cats or attempts to CGI the same, can he? I could see it working as an animated film though. They had me for the prospective film of Damn Yankees right up until I read Jim Carrey's name in the cast. No, just no. I think I'd like to see a film version of The Wild Party (Andrew Lippa version), but if and only if they could get Cheryl Daro for "Old Fashioned Love Story."
  3. Someone must the way those things rake in the cash. Though I'll admit I tend to watch Dark of the Moon when it comes on TV for Frances McDormand and Buzz Aldrin. (The scenes with Sleazy LaPlagiarism, Hot Vacuous Girl du jour, and Jackson Pollock paintings of CGI morphing robot parts tend to get passed over in favor of something more entertaining, like housework.)
  4. The sad thing was, that movie really did justice to the original Pulp era stories AND managed to add agency and credible intelligence to Dejah Thoris without taking anything away from the character. It was pretty much everything I could have asked for in an adaptation, so of course it went almost $100 million in the red.
  5. If the latter can't it's not as if it will be a sweeping change from the Halle Berry version.
  6. Bwah! I think that moment hit me in about the next-to-last HP movie.
  7. Note to self: Buy this train wreck when it shows up in the $5 DVD bin at Wal-Mart. I do have to note that this weekend I saw a movie with even more ridiculous age gaps between actors and their teenage characters than this one: Maleficent. Disney, I can suspend my disbelief for the existence of magic and faeries, but I draw the line at being asked to buy Angelina Jolie and Sharlto Copley as 16-year-olds!
  8. Actually, she did sort of get a reality show gig if you count competition shows: Skating with the Stars. Sean Young, intense competition, and razor-sharp footwear; what could possibly go wrong? I tuned in wondering if I'd be seeing Johnny Weir or Bethenny Frankel get decapitated on network TV.
  9. Disney's Robin Hood is still the top contender as far as I'm concerned. I really liked Costner up through Tin Cup, but I don't think he's wowed me in a role since. And I thought he was easily the worst thing about Man of Steel, which is a real achievement when your competition is a fleet of dildo-shaped rockets and Michael Shannon popping his eyes out like a Chuck Jones cartoon character.
  10. I used to defend her as reasonable even if her politics are to the right of what's usual in Hollywood, but when she started mocking Sandra Fluke I just gave up.
  11. I'm wondering if that is intentional, and something they're looking to develop as part of Joe's storyline to give the actor something to sink his teeth into? I'll confess the scene where Joe invited Barry to move back in gave me the warm fuzzies, but I don't think you hire an actor of Jesse L. Martin's caliber to play a bland supportive role with no dramatic conflict.
  12. If the CW wanted to win any awards for Supernatural it should have submitted episodes from the 2nd season instead of the 9th.
  13. I imagine the way the show had costars rooming together for two years when they were shooting in Atlanta helped immensely with that - Tyler and Dylan seem like best buds in real life. Hopefully that bond precludes any professional jealousy - their scenes together really are the best part of the show.
  14. The theme song is as earworm-y as an ABBA standard, so I hope it does its magic on the judges if submitted for Oscar consideration.
  15. You can't always get what you want. I can't imagine this thing making enough money to justify a sequel, unless Depp and Paltrow are working for scale.
  16. My Classic Hollywood crush would be George Peppard. I didn't blame Patricia Neal for wanting to keep him like a pet in Breakfast at Tiffany's!
  17. I know it's gallows humor, but when I saw someone memorializing him on another board with the word "fearless" I had to chime in that a little healthy fear might have come in handy there at the end.
  18. They only needed one: Jayne! (It cracked me up that a date I took to see Serenity immediately pegged the movie's butched up Kaylee-macking version of Simon as gay.) Ha, I was about to say "allow me to introduce you to my posting history on the topic of Spike from 1999-present."
  19. If it reassures you any, I think Norton is only to be feared if you're working on a movie with him.
  20. I get the impression he's half right.
  21. Harris has also had bad things to say about Ian McKellen, Kenneth Branaugh, Charlton Heston, Tom Cruise, and Julie Andrews. I get the impression he just sort of spewed random vitriol at everyone, though apparently Oliver Reed discovered this could be defused by confronting each other in a bar and getting hammered.
  22. Miller's off camera scandals have always eclipsed her performances for me.
  23. Guzman wasn't youthful enough to play a teenager when he first started appearing in commercials four years ago, I don't know who the hell thought he would make a believable high school student now.
  24. I don't know, it won me over with that lunch meeting scene where Jonathan Rhys Myers' character had literal hearts in his eyes while looking at Ewan McGregor's, and Eddie Izzard's had literal dollar signs.
