@Donald Caballero About the heckler: that's really the uglier side of it. He's always so quick to be self-deprecating but it's obvious that it's just a defense mechanism. "I'll talk about how overweight I am or how bad Mallrats was so that if you were to do it it'd look like you were piling on. That way I can keep it

I think Smith's problem is in addition to a certain "artistic laziness" he seems immensely insecure and self-conscious, especially about his status in the "movie business." So, for that reason (and maybe just out of becoming complacent) he's allowed himself to get trapped by what he must believe are the expectations

Vincent Gallo
Best known for that one scene in Brown Bunny and the public argument with Roger Ebert at Cannes over the movie itself, or for Buffalo '66 or any statement he makes in which it sounds like he takes himself far more seriously than he should. Less well known for being (or, if you like, fancying himself as)

Much like a politician with the abortion issue, every young actress in Hollywood must prepare her own carefully-worded position for the time when an interviewer ever-so gracefully asks "So, are we ever gonna see those tits?"

I think Jonathan Glazer's involvement might make it worthwhile, questions of making a movie about a "sexually voracious alien seductress" while keeping it tasteful and over the clothes notwithstanding. Also, I know that in-character I'm supposed to say "I can verify that Meryl Streep has gotten naked" but eh.

The only movie featuring something you could describe as "the pivotal Alfred Molina sex scene?"

If she's looking to snare human prey maybe she/it should try the scenery that .. isn't desolate? Just an idea.

Does it or does it not involve ass-paddling?

@Bridge Troll More likely she'll show a nerd the transformative power of slutting it up a bit. When she isn't deciding on the proper comeuppance for a snobby blonde chick and whether she really does love that frustratingly sarcastic hottie with the $100 haircut who thinks he's SO above it all. God, he makes me so mad!

I personally look forward to the inevitable day's worth of "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" posts on her 18th birthday about how the adult male population of the Internet can now line up to have legal sexual intercourse with her. Mixed with rebuke from more discerning fellows who insist that "I wouldn't fuck her with yours"

The thing about "angry white men" is they really have to put an effort in to find something to be indignant about and this results in what could be considered sociologically fascinating rants about the legal status of steel-studded snow tires, diaper advertising and bugaboos such as "longerie com[panies?]." In this,

I'm further questioning my own pop literacy because when I saw that there was a popular break-up number called "Fuck You" I wondered when, if there was a sudden call for hip-hop/R&B re-imaginings of songs on the Private School … for Girls soundtrack http://www.youtube.com/watc… when I could expect the Macy Gray

Quality work, but shouldn't there be an awkward knock on the door at the end and a promise that next time (when the TFU will wear its Boba Fett mask) will be better?

@Squelchy For anything "cult" or considered relatively inaccessible there's going to be a GLTLSEEKHGTJMTTD. At least they're supporting it with their money.

@Freuaiph Was only doing it for the sake of clarity. When I browse the comments in a long thread it can sometimes be unclear to me even when the name of the person he/she is responding to is included what it is the person's responding to. But, in future posts I'll try to limit the clutter along with the abuse of mock

Always really liked the background information provided in the comments section. At what point does the scattershot ineptness of it become a little endearing? "So, you're telling me that college professors and organic farmers don't scrunch up their faces when you mention Nancy Pelosi's name? Do they know she's from

@Biggles, Flies Undone "A better ad would be to have a John Goodman look alike pull the candidate out of a tunnel through a mud puddle in the pouring rain, as in Raising Arizona - that's get my vote."

$10 on Claude. Who wants this action?

As a kind of Hellcat Maggie in a Bugsy Malone version of Gangs of New York?

Wasn't Ralphie always a foil for Tony? "Tony may be a sociopathic criminal, but he doesn't beat women to death." "Tony may be promiscuous, but he wouldn't let you pour candle wax on his junk." "Tony may have problems, but it's not like he's going to choke you to death if he suspects you of harming an animal." Wait,
