Well, if your supreme loving mother dictator for life were a living god, would you want to leave?

I just watched part of it again yesterday. I've said it on these boards a few times before, Brandon Routh just does not have the chops. I can't shake the feeling that he's a kid playing dress-up when he's Clark. He's a little better as Superman, but not by much.

For as awful as she was, it was almost worth it to see how Tony had her so completely and utterly figured out time and time again. He knew exactly how she was going to react to a situation before she did.

Ok, so they bombed L.A. off the map- How many other major cities did they do this to? Not Atlanta for one- maybe because the CDC is (was) there?

Wail is actually a really good way to describe whatever it was she was attempting.

Right- Say what you want about the quality of the movies or him as an actor, but there's no denying he was money in the bank for a fairly long stretch there.

And Tia Carrere's heinous butchering of it.

Good call, and another one I've rewatched recently. Maybe because teenie movie be damned (even if it is Shakespeare), when you've got Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, it's not going to be all bad.

Hey, take it easy. Not all of us can keep the crowning glory of strawberry locks that we had in our salad days.

It just feels like Linklater actually managed to

Back when it was in regular rotation, my friends and I had a running joke about the girls in it and the one-upping with how messed up they all were. "I'm messed up!" "No, I'm MORE messed up!"

I don't think it's possible to deliver his dialogue naturally.

Clueless holds up for many reasons, not the least of which is Dan Hedaya's performance as Cher's father.

Can't Hardly Wait still holds a certain charm for me for some reason, but couldn't agree more about the rest.

I think that encapsulates this movie quite nicely. Did you use the stand-alone rewinding machine, or leave the tape in the VCR when you rewound it?

The absolute WORST

I loved how he never referred to James as James, it was always "Jimmy", "Jimbo", etc.

I can watch the first few minutes, mainly just for Stanley's reaction. I have to stop it before they actually get to the school though.

I don't know, I thought Ellie Kemper was pretty great. The rest of it was fairly atrocious though.
