Being one who doesn't even get TV *reception,* let alone cable, I have to wait for the DVDs. Anyone know if the DVDs are post-NBC schedule? I'm assuming so.

Shifting to "cautiously optimistic"
I was in "optimistic" until I saw the trailer, actually.

The Christensen factor is my only difficulty with SHATTERED GLASS, because at times he's very good and other times I'm distracted by "Is this good acting because Glass seems fake and awkward or is this bad acting because Christensen is fake and awkward?" But the movie is really watchable.

Could've sworn Sarsgaard was nominated for SHATTERED GLASS.

I couldn't get behind this one, either. Waaaayyy too self-consciously quirkfest-y. The dance at the end was funny, though, but too little too late.

I liked Ocean's 12 a lot, precisely because it was so slight. Most sequels made for cash and laughs are, but 12 is the first one that absolutely revels in it. You reach the climax and realize the entire fucking movie was unnecessary.

Plus, the actor in Open Your Eyes is charismatic as hell, so you can see why people would be drawn to him. Tom Cruise (in Vanilla Sky — not in every role) is just vapid and annoying, so the movie just doesn't work.

I wish Soderbergh would act more
God, he was great in "Schizopolis."

Out of Sight
sex, lies, and videotape
Traffic
King of the Hill
The Limey

Oh come on, folks
That was pretty amusing. You gonna hate on Joe Bob and Vern now, too?

Mr. Blue Sky
If that song doesn't bring you back from harm, nothing will.

"Nuremberg!"

This sex romp played in Antarctica, too, and it still left audience members cold. The reviewer for the Weddell Sea Chronicle savaged it, which should have been warning enough, but no.

Harvey really didn't work the first time, so maybe Stevie will figure out how to fix it.

That sounds pretty much spot-on.

The kid sister thing bugged me a lot in 500 Days. The deliberate plate-smashing, and how three adult males are helpless in the situation and need a rescue — it was true bullshit.

But it's the thoughts and ideas that really get into your brain. That's why I mentioned above that I told my girlfriend not to go see it. Guys wince at nut-crushing imagery; I can only imagine being a woman and seeing the "instruments for operations on mutant women."

@ Sherman

Tony Scott is remaking Dead Ringers? That's an awful idea.

THE DOCTOR, I'd say. Yeah.
