Haven't seen this film since it first came out, but my recollection of it (aided by the embedded video) is that Gould's character is a new boyfriend of Norton's mother, and is still trying to make a good impression on the family. Hence, no rocking the boat, and he seems genuinely confused at Norton's statements. He…

@ the OP:

Matt LeBlanc said the following to justify the $2 Million per episode (?) paycheques he and the rest of the cast of Friends were getting:

If only she could change outfits like the ghost in Hex…that was such a "How does that explanation even make sense?" plot point.

I saw a remarkably faithful recreation of the A-Team van about a month ago in my neighborhood. The skinny, 20 year old white hipster driving it sure looked out of place, though.

Wasn't Prowse the one leaking plot details to the press?
I saw Prowse's banning posted in a few other places, where it was met with nothing but "Lucas is such an a$$hole!". But from what I remember there were problems with Prowse going back to the original films.

I'm heartened in a way to see that others had the same reaction to The Day After as my sister and I had - we would have been 13 and 15 when it aired. Our father always told us (since we were toddlers!) that there was going to be a nuclear war any day and we would all die fiery deaths - if we were lucky. That combined…

I need something explained to me…
Why all the hate for Ratner? Did he do something really terrible that I can't remember, or is it just that people judge his movies to be so horribly bad that they're a blight on existence? I thought Red Dragon was fairly good, and his X-Men and the first Rush Hour were completely…

I was just saying to someone that if you want to lose all faith in humanity, look at some of the message boards where some women are defending him.

@Debt of James Joyce: I've learned to be careful about when and where I tell people what I think of SMG's acting abilities. I've made a couple of people angry - and I mean "oh, man, I think we should leave now" angry. If only people would get that worked up about human rights…

It's good to hear that Perabo does a good job - I rewatched the pilot of Alias a while back and Garner is quite amazing in it. One of the things that really sold me on her was her ability to play determined and tough-as-nails one moment but then emotionally vulnerable the next. Some actresses' performances would make…

There was a review of a film starring Neve Campbell (?) which I found particularily embarrassing to read - the first two paragraphs were pretty wank-y. But, if you're Roger Ebert, you can write whatever you want.

These must be fake
Come on, Mel Gibson being rascist and demeaning women? As if - he's a Christian! Show me where in the bible Jesus is racist or says it's okay to hit a women if she deserves it.

I thought that Matt Smith was at his hilarious best in this ep (although, if you can believe it, it gets even better soon). But once again, am I the only one who finds it odd, and possible against previously established continuity, that he is SO completely clueless? It wouldn't bother me at all except that I feel…

I appreciate your comment but respectfully disagree regarding the change from baccarat to poker. Baccarat is a game of chance, while poker is a game of strategy. Betting on a game of chance makes no sense, no matter how exciting the scenes were in the book. Switching to poker allowed the film of CR to show Bond as…

@ Dr. Robuttnik:

@ udjibbom:

My favourite part is when he says "Whether it's Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, or Jackie Chan, karate movies, like the martial arts themselves, will never go away".

Hair and body wash?
I think that's a typo - it must be body hair wash.

I think the fact that Quantum of Solace made over $500 million at the box office answers the question…and that's with it getting middling reviews.
