I like him as Peter Parker. Spider Man 2 is about is good as you're going to get on the big screen for web-headiness.

Feh. I mean, I liked Spider-Man 1 and 2 a lot, but that was in spite of Tobey Maguire, not because of him.

Yeah, they should have picked an actor that *didn't* have organic web shooters.

See, everybody thinks Scola is so nice but that's just poking a stick into the lion's cage.

Evil Scola! Someone in NYC, can you go check to see if he's wearing leather pants?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

American actor VIGGO MORTENSEN has hit out at film stars who sign up to big budget Hollywood projects solely for the pay cheque

Well, those people won't be working in Europe anymore, what with cheques being phased out and such.

And please, for the love of all that's cured, take a picture!

Cured like leather is cured! Or is that tanned? I think now I meant tanned.

I should go over there since I seem to be all word abuse-y today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aims, you don't get all subby around the prescriptivists. You make up the English language any ol' way you like.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Does the backlash backlash have a proper backlash yet?

It might start with me. I'm not dying to go, but work is, so I'm going, but now I will be watching it with a bit of spite.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our friend Andy did props, so that's why I am going, to cheer the guns 'n stuff.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'll probably go see it for Sigourney Weaver's performance if nothing else, but I expect to spend at least half the movie wishing Gargamel and Azrael would show up.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I watched my dvd of Julie & Julia last night and then rewatched the scenes with Julia and her sister Dorothy, played by Jane Lynch, this evening right after I watched the last 15 minutes of the "Sectionals" ep of Glee. Very funny juxtaposition of Sue Sylvester saying "Destination: HORROR!" and Dorothy and Julia bemoaning the Republicanism of their father and giggling over food, parties, and men.

On the making-of dvd extra, Dorothy's daughter is interviewed and talks about her mom--she was even taller than Julia (6'5"), and her husband whom she meets at the party in the film had actually remembered seeing her some ten years before at a cafeteria in the States, when she had come out from the kitchen with a cream pie in hand, splatted it in someone's face, busted out laughing and ran back to the kitchen. When he saw her at the party at Julia and Paul's in Paris, the first thing he said to her was, "Do you still enjoy throwing pies at people?" and then explained where he had seen her so long before.
