I will always remember the actor who plays Raj's dad as the Italian son of an Irish father and Polish mother, who had a Jewish sister, a Mexican cousin, and an African-Canadian uncle:

Paperdoll, haven't you heard - THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
All the hatred towards Juno just reinforces the following: "Hipsters don't just love something; they LOVE it - until other people love it too; then they have to HATE it to show how much better their tastes are than everyone else's".
Lady Gaga seems to be one of those artists who is able to cross over boundaries and appeal to people who don't normally like that kind of music. One example would be my classic rock-loving friend who heard Lady Gaga at the gym and, to his surprise, really liked her songs. Another is a friend's mother who, at 65,…
Still waiting for his cologne…
Testostallone.
Jam out with your clam out…
All those movies he made and those are the best hair transplants he can afford?
The Director's Guild needs to renegotiate its rates…
Am I remembering Notting Hill wrong?
Saw it on video with some friends and the way I remember it was that Julia Robert's character was quite selfish and self-involved, and then she and Hugh Grant split. Then, instead of Grant's character realizing that something was a misunderstanding, or discovering some piece of…
Another Love, Actually fan here. Agree with everything up above supporting it, and was pleased that it covered the gamut of relationships, not just fairy-tale "it all works out in the end".
Assuming that the Star Wars soundtrack was left out because it didn't have "pop songs" like Saturday Night Fever, they still could have included the disco version of the Star Wars theme that I heard constantly for a few weeks…
I thought The Expendables was okay, but some of that was coasting on the goodwill that the very idea of the film generated. Compare it to The A-Team, which had a great energy and sense of fun to it (in addition to a much greater sense of friendship between the characters). I think giving it over over to some fresh(er)…
I had read (but don't know if it's true) that Van Damme was offered the role that went to Dolph Lundgren but that he turned it down. Apparently playing the guy whose drug use made him the loser of the group didn't seem to appealing to him (and was a little uncomfortable given his own past problems).
I had no desire to watch Tomb Raider and the situation wasn't helped by my video-game obsessed roommate who talked about it constantly. But one lazy Sunday afternoon I put the DVD in while I was ironing and soon I was sitting on the couch watching it. As CC Baxter says, enjoyable popcorn fun and the fact that I didn't…
No mention of Hex?
Oh well…
Call me an idealist, but I give films the benefit of the doubt and assume that most things in them are intentional (and I've been on enough sets to know that the most heard line during film-making is "Shit, alright, that'll have to do").
Timothy Dalton was said to have jettisoned almost half of his dialogue from his first Bond film (which was written much closer in tone to a Moore film). Apparently Brosnan thought that worked well so he had a lot of dialogue cut from from certain scenes in Goldeneye as well. IMHO that's what makes him work so well…
I may be remembering the hype about JFK all wrong…
…but it seems to me that a lot of people took what they saw in the film as what was supposed to be factual as to what happened that day. Interesting that now people are saying things like "Oh, yeah, the conspircacy obviously didn't happen that way, but…ummm…Stone was…
I was in California on vacation in 1976 and we saw a large pit that had been dug with part of a 747 hull inside it. I was later told that that was what they used for the final scene in Airport '77 when (SPOILERS) they manage to raise the plane from the ocean floor. I wish that I had a better memory of it, but I was 7…
I did read about a foreign dub (I can't remember which country) where JarJar's lines were delivered in a much more straightforward manner. Even with the wild gesticulating still in place the character was suposed to me far more tolerable.
