Here's a thing USNI did when Berkley books put out the mass market paperback — in on contract talks, Berkley referred to the book as an "October" release (fitting and all, ha ha), not mentioning that in publishing, any month's book would actually be printed and ready to ship halfway through that previous month.  USNI…

Now you can look like a vintage Ken doll!

When the Olsen girls first came to prominence I thought there were three of them:  Mary, Kate, and Ashley.   Eventually I realized that "twins" wasn't some stupid person's way of spelling "triplets" and that there were only two.
Now, it turns out I was right, there were three!!!!

Stanton, in many movies, just brings things up several notches (Slim Pickens was the same way — I don't think they're turning out character actors like they used to, more's the pity).  I recall his scene in The Rose, which is an amiable mess of a film — Stanton shows up and puts everything the movie is trying to…

Yeah, I re-saw Cisco Pike a few years back and came to the same conclusion….

Too bad about Walsh, he's done some great work.  Keep trying, though, Will….!  maybe offer to buy him a bunch of drinks?

Will - I agree, it does capture him.   As I posted somewhere on this, no one should expect more from him…

Glad to see all the questions and answers about his singing.  He really is good, and if someone cobbles together an album (as he mentions they might) I for one will buy it.

They could do worse than to model the ending on the Ray Bradbury story Kaleidoscope.  Though that would be kind of a downer, and if they've done that Bradbury's family should get money.

I said it in another post - I don't think she's a bad actress at all.  She's just been in horrible, horrible movies.  (Many of which I've seen - I have a wife and daughters and not total control of the dvd player for some reason.)
I seriously doubt she will ever be Blanchet- or Streep-effective in many movies; I think…

I don't know, not having seen it, yet.  When my kids were little I often would see a movie without them, then maybe tell them a bit about it when I took them.  Advantage:  I got to see things like Fellowship of the Ring twice on the big screen.  Disadvantage:  paid a lot to do it, what with admission and babysitter…

Is this going to be the only film I see that I can tolerate Sandra Bullock in?  I kinda hope so.  She seems like a genuinely nice person (gives literally millions to charity semi-anonymously), has a great sense of humor, is not unpleasant to look at, and is in fact a good actress.  She's just been in some completely…

She wore makeup. She was a whore.  Explanation finished.

NIghy is a great choice.

Yeah, but as Lewis pointed out, he mixed those mythologies intentionally.  you get Santa Claus, Jesus, Paganism, Islam (sort of).. It's not like CS Lewis didn't KNOW he was doing that.

Silver Chair is actually my favorite.  Puddleglum fucking rocks.

I kinda wanted the aquarium line to have been a line about a herpitarium or whatever you would call a thing that would allow snakes on a plane.

"Coulson’s comment that Tahiti is a magical place now has me wondering if his resurrection was mystical in nature."

Yeah, it's Rebecca Pidgeon who's the bad actress of those two Mamet women.  Crouse is fine, I think.  But Pidgeon?  Most wooden actress since Miss Keanu Reeves.

I GUESS the U.S. Naval Institute Press is "obscure".  Main thing was (I worked in a bookstore when Hunt came out) they were thrilled to death to have put out a bestseller - they'd never done fiction before, and I don't know if they have since. 
I just remember calling in orders to their rep, who was positively giddy: …
