He's very good in "Friends With Kids" opposite Jennifer Westfeldt—but that movie in general deserves praise for getting a semi-decent performance out of Megan Fox, as well as a searing dramatic twofer with Jon Hamm and—of all people—Kristen Wiig as a toxic couple. (A dinner party scene that goes south with Hamm…

SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! "THE BIG JOKE GAME!!" OMG, whomever you are, doctor unknown, I love you to pieces. Bub, the Guardian Devil!! And all those godawful puns on the roller coaster, and how you have to do spoonerisms that make sense….that book is an absolute natural for the movies; easy $30 million opening weekend if…

So, after going through this loooooong thread, seems folks would still like to see:

This entire thread reminds me of why I respect but dislike Kubrick, but I really loathe his most fervent acolytes. They'll be so happy when the world goes "Dr. Strangelove."

Maybe the universe is unloving, isolating, dehumanizing and terrifying because you see it that way. Doesn't mean others do. (Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back at your cheap, cynical "wisdom.)

Funniest/sharpest Mimi Rogers quote: "I was married to the man for years, and I never saw any indication that he's gay. I did remember reading somewhere that Nicole Kidman is a transsexual—THAT, I believe!"

I thought Pima might be a preview of the 1970's woman—her look was very Diane Keaton in "Annie Hall" with the vest and tie, but her cool assertiveness seemed more like Faye Dunaway in "Network." (It's always a treat to see Mimi Rogers onscreen in anything; I think she's vastly underrated.)

"Judy!" "Hello, Daddy…." ("What's Up, Doc?")

As someone way below in the thread commented, "A.I." does not have a happy ending. It has the ILLUSION of a happy ending—an artificially created dream granted to an artificial boy. That is all David, for all his yearning, is able to receive. The dream that began with humans envisioning artificial intelligence has…

You clearly missed the entire point of the article. Get off your knees; Kubrick is dead and has no need of your drooling admiration.

I knew it was ony a matter of time before someone who worships at the altar of Kubrick and hates Spielberg was going to weigh in, and completely miss the entire point of the argument. Thank you for proving the article's author right so spectacularly.

They tried that with "Tin Man"—didn't work. They also to an extent tried it with "Wicked," which reworks Maguire's narrative into a metaphor for the War on Terror (before chickening out with a "happy" ending that really has no ending). There's more than enough dark stuff already in Baum, it doesn't need to be…

I lived in Japan for a year, and the Japanese aren't real warm towards any other Asian nations or peoples—there's definitely a hierarchy, and they see themselves at the top. The most blood-freezing racism I've encountered in my life involved how Japanese see/treat Koreans.

Aside, of course, from Madonna's 20-year run…

It's Jackson, through coded language, telling someone who left him that they'll one day be lonely and sorry—though he then tries to couch that by cooing "You are not alone," i.e. I, All-Powerful Michael Jackson, Am Always With You—Whether You Like It Or Not. It's like an even creepier bookend to his "E.T." homage,…

I love me some "Scott Pilgrim," but "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" just ripped my heart in half. That, for me, is the best "teen movie" of the past five years.

I sense the author does not like Broadway or pop music, which is what the Godspell score is. But on its own terms the film of Godspell is equally good. The best Jesus film, however, is "Jesus of Montreal"-no question. It'll really make you think, as well as laugh and weep.

I had a children's bible—beautifully illustrated—as a gift from my great-grandmother; it wasn't until I was in later elementary school that something clicked, and I noticed the pictures of Jesus showed him with yellow-blonde hair and blue eyes. (Like NO other pictures I'd ever seen of him.) I'd say it's high time to…

SPOILER:

Richard Nixon supposedly had no use for anyone in the entire Bush family except (of all people) Barbara, because—quote—"she really knows how to hate." By that yardstick, Nixon would've loved Noel Gallagher.
