I love, unashamedly, Nickelodeon.  Always have.  It's not just O'Neal, who's I think at his best, it's eveyone else, doing much better work than they ever did.  The movie's paced a tad oddly, and it helps to know a tiny bit about the history of early Hollywood.  But it's a gem - worth seeing just for Brian Keith's

"Bone structchah"

Jeez.  He meant that on their way out they stopped at a Catholic church.

Fuck it, they can SAY Hannity's the host, and hire Nathan Lane to play him.

I saw EdTV once, and I liked it - it was the least pretentious of all those media movies that came out.. the only one of which I can think of is The Truman Show, but I think there were others.

Man, I agree with you.  Those Ocean's movies have so much propaganda.  Why, I was led to believe I should rob a casino by those liberal traitors, and now I'm doing 10 to 20 in prison!

Wait, are you saying James Hong ISN'T one of the 12 Apostles?

I never liked Brosnan as Bond, but I think (not sure if I've got the facts right) that the producers of Remington Steele hauled him back, although the show was not doing well and maybe about to be cancelled, because they knew the whole "we've got the first choice for Bond under OUR contract" would get the ratings up.

You're right about Thor/Blake and humility, but I think the movie shorthanded it pretty well.  Wasn't years of limping around pining after your nurse, but it was being yelled at by your dad, tossed into New Mexico and being tased by Kat Dennings.

Holy fuck.  I wasn't aware of this at all.  (And I've read the books, and seen the movie -twice…!  Actually had no idea that ANYone's color was mentioned in the books, though I'm sure it was sometimes.)  Damn, people are stupid.

I'm not much of a Reacher book fan (I've read two) but the only way to cast him would be to use either Clancy Brown or Ron Perlman… because Reacher isn't a "big, dumb lunk", he's a big, smart lunk.

The only people who could legitimately complain about the casting of Alicia Masters wouldn't have been able to see the movie.

I did not at all like the Daredevil movie, and was not at all thrilled with Duncan as the choice to play the Kingpin.  But damned if he wasn't the only good thing in the whole movie.
(Okay, wait, that radar-sense visual effect was pretty cool.  but that's it, Duncan and a camera trick.)

I loved what Kidman said on Letterman after she an Cruise split - gesturing to her feet as she sat there, she said, "well… now I can wear heels again.."

Thor calls Loki "brother", and THAT little whiner is all ice-troll colored!

I think Man on Fire may be the only movie I've seen Dakota Fanning in.  But jesus, she was great in it, I'm not kidding.

Well, thankfully, they didn't mess up when it came to casting Mr. Yunioshi….!

Damn if Mad magazine hasn't turned out to be pretty much the main influence on my life…
In their parody of Sound of Music, one of the lyrics Andrews sings is "…. when we top "Fair Lady"…. vengeance will be mine…"

What I like about Dalton's performance (this is mentioned elsewhere here) is that it's based more on the Fleming idea - that is, not just that Bond is a dark, brooding, possibly depressed character, but (and this hadn't really been directly addressed for years, until Craig's movies brought it to the fore) also a

I liked Lazenby, and I think the script for OHMSS was good (I might be blinded by the fact that Diana Rigg was in it too).  In my alternate universe, whatever Lazenby did to not get hired again didn't happen.  I really could do without ALL the Moore Bonds.
