How about an empty chair GIF for Eddie Murphy storming out after losing for "Dreamgirls"?

And he's married to Claudia Shiffer, so, yeah, I wish my career and life were going as well as his, too.

Why is he "good luck"? Other than "X-Men", a pre-established franchise, has Vaughn ever had a hit movie? And the last X-Men was only a modest hit by modern superhero franchise standards.

I don't think Nolan is even under consideration, mostly because he wouldn't want to work on a movie he isn't involved with from the start. Since there's already been development meetings and a screenwriter is already working, I assume any director will have to take the story concept/story from what's already been…

While not crazy about this choice (if true), it's better than names like McG or J.J. Abrams. I wasn't crazy about X-Men or especially Kick-Ass, either. I would've preferred someone more character oriented, like Rian Johnson, since that was the thinking behind the Irvin Kershner hire, and that worked out well. Vaughn,…

That's why I said "most" not "all".

I said "most" (but you know you were conveniently leaving out that word, didn't you?), and if you look at the resumes of those I listed, I think my point is proven.

On another note, I think one thing that could prevent them from being a long term dynasty is the same thing that afflicts other teams: free agency. I think they only have a handful of their current roster signed through 2014 (fortunately, the core group), but they have big decisions coming up on Scutaro, Pagan, and…

I think one of the problems with the 2011 team was they were beholden to a lot of players who had big 2010 post seasons (Huff, Ross) who didn't produce over the course of a long season. That and the Posey injury really hurt them. I agree that if they win this World Series, they have to be considered dynasty status.…

Detroit might win one at home, but the Tigers just look befuddled. This is going to be just like when the Giants beat the Rangers: Texas was supposed to roll them with the unbeatable Cliff Lee in the first game. When the Giants put away Lee, the Rangers just looked shell shocked the rest of the series. That's pretty…

I would add "Ghost Story" by Peter Straub. I remember reading that book one summer and it really got under my skin. Also, I've always preferred "Pet Sematary" to "The Shining", maybe because I've always preferred the Kubrick treatment to the King treatment.

Bradbury's short story "The Banshee" was also inspired by his experience working in Ireland with John Huston on "Moby Dick".

ha!

actually, as others have pointed out, there was a Carrie TV remake, only it's a few years older than I remember, so, yes, it does exist.

Sorry. I actually have a life and don't care even that much, something that apparently doesn't apply to you. You do know you're on Gawker, right?

Wasn't this just remade 2 years ago as a TV movie? Is this going to be an annual event?

Verna Fields can save it.

What's the explanation for "ass men"?

I have the Close Encounters theme, disco version.

Bird would be a great choice, pretty much for anything, but looking at that list, it seems to be made up of either a) directors with a history with Warners, or b) automatons who will do anything the studio tells them and bring the thing in on time and budget. If the latter is Warners main criteria, I don't have much…
