Jewfro - I agree with you. But a lot of people loathe Russel Brand and that will turn them off of anything he's in. I've only seen him in two things and both gave me favourable impressions of him. First, he was hilarious when I saw him host the Brit awards one year. In addition, he was charming and charismatic in

I'm a little OCD and completist by nature, and even I gave up on Heroes after season 2 (although watched a bit of season 3). If Human Target gets renewed I'll skip it unless they retool it back to the way it was.

ToddG - there was almost a series based on Starfleet Academy. When the Trek franchise was running out of steam Paramount went to focus groups with three different concepts for a Trek series. What appeared to be the studio's favourite was Starfleet Academy, an ensemble show following a group of young cadets on their

I remember the criticism when Moulin Rouge came out…
And many people complained that this musical, set in the past, used modern pop songs (for the most part) instead of writing new ones. When I tried to convince people that that was exactly what "classic" musicals such as Singing in the Rain did no one believed me.

I always preferred Gene Kelly to Fred Astaire - it was great to see a dancer who wasn't willowy thin. Being so muscular and athletic made it all the more impressive when he did things that were graceful. And to add to I Am a Fugitive's praise up above check out The Pirate. Kelley's in shorts in one sequence and his

I don't see how American Pie was meaner than 80's sex comedies. If anything, I think the reason that American Pie was such a huge hit was that it had a surprising amount of heart to go along with the low-brow humour.

Agreeing with people above - my first thought was how are they going to keep those costumes clean? I can just see one of them having a fight in a dirty alley, getting up, and seeing dark smudges all over their costume. "GODAMMIT! I JUST WASHED THIS!"

Interesting that someone brought up Malice - that was a very cool movie-going experience for me. I was walking past a theatre with two friends when we decided to on a whim to see a film. One wanted to see Malice because she had heard that it was a drama about a medical malpractice suit and it sounded interesting. I

Fiorentino hanging from the chain-link fence and ramming Berg like he was a punching bag is one of the greatest scenes ever created on film and made me fall in lust with her. Also, the joy on her face as she punches the top of the van while they're inside it made me fall in love with her. Oh, "Wendy Kroy", you've made

I was blown away by her in this film when I first saw it and was disappointed that she didn't become a huge star. Of course, it's difficult to imagine her starring in some Hollywood romcom like Katherine Heigel…

I think there's enough about Fiorentino's character to make her "bad" - I mean "bad bad" not "good bad" - that her sexuality doesn't need to be factored in. But I still love her.

Chalk me up as someone who was mystified by the FFF prominence until I discovered that one of the hosts worked for the Onion…however, I did check out the last couple and they are getting better. It looks like the hosts realized that these spots should be about the videos and not them. The last couple that I saw

Yeah, I quite liked Disturbia other than the OTT final few minutes - but seriously, what Hollywood film doesn't do that? And it was more of them taking inspiration from Rear Window, not doing an outright remake.

In the beginning they did have chemistry together, which is part of what makes they way they are now so disappointing. The writers keep artificially trying to recapture the "will they or won't they" tension which is just frustrating. As I said above, just make they fans happy and have them be well adjusted and happy.

That bellydancing bit saved the ep for me. For one brief shining moment is was like the Chuck of season 1 - unapologetic geek fantasy. But then it evaporated into a fight between Chuck and Sarah because, according to the writers, if Chuck and Sarah are happy together people will stop watching. Huh?

About ten years ago a friend and I were reading an interview with her on the internet and my roommate wanted to know why we were laughing so hard. We explained to him all about Faster Pussycat Kill Kill and how awesome it was, and all about the girls in it. He then wanted to read the interview and as he scrolled up to

She was at a screening of Faster Pussycat…
…at the Bloor Cinema in Toronto a couple of years ago and I couldn't go as I was sick. I would have loved to meet her and the regret I felt at not being able to go has increased tenfold.

I thought the Canadian national anthem was "Oh Canada…our home on native land…"

The W Network showed Bridget Jones's Diary…
…and yes, I watched it. And I'm a straight guy.

I remember loving In Theory
When watching it during the initial run I was young enough to have much stronger emotional reactions to shows than I do now. I remember at the end of the episode my brain was yelling at Data "Jesus, FEEL something!". Interesting that an ep about how an android can't feel anything provoked
