I was just remembering when Bale himself said that we shouldn't know too much about actors, because if we know all the details of their personal lives, it'll distract from their performance.

I did stage acting for a long time, and I remember going off on someone this way once for being two inches off their mark. And I'm a really nice person (I'm going to ask you to believe that for the sake of the story…). Like seriously going OFF, four-minute rant, and it was a way more minor mistake than Bale is yelling…

Melissa Etheridge was from my high school. And being one of those smalltown, Bible-belt Midwestern kinds of high schools, we basically chose to ignore that.

I love a lot of the characters on that show, but Riggins has been my favorite ever since that moment the first episode (uh, minor spoilers) when he's getting tackled by all those guys, and Smash is yelling at him something ridiculous about playing as a team, and there's that quick cutaway to him doing the interview:…

I heard Josh Holloway turned down the part because he didn't want to be typecasted into the Southern jerk thing. I guess I see where he's coming from in general, but—damn, I mean, it's Gambit. Probably should have thought twice before turning that one down.

Damn
That is a really unflattering picture of Kebbel.

Another Mormon here, and here's my take. I'm a little surprised to see all the verbage about being "allowed" to do this or that, because it's kind of more optional than all that.

My roommate and I watched this very late at night—TiVo'd it to watch after work. Probably because of how late it was, we had one extremely crazy-ass moment where Richard showed up again and the following conversation took place:

Amy Winehouse 2.0!
This is great news! Now when Amy Winehouse dies, we have a replacement all lined up. She even looks like Amy Winehouse…pre-cocaine, Amy Winehouse.

Simon moment
I knew it was coming. I knew that there would be those moments season when I would suddenly, temporarily find Simon very attractive, despite his age and his hair and his V-necks and all. And then it would pass. But it would leave an indelible mark on my soul.

Yep, that's kind of what did it for me, the way he just matter-of-factly popped that thing in his mouth. (…I'm thinking about rephrasing that, but I'm pretty sure I'm just going to let it stand.)

Opinion: Ad Ops Bret is a fox.

Diva!
This reminds me of when I went with my mom to some opera performance featuring a soprano who she informed me was very famous and very well-known. In the middle of the second song, someone started talking on the balcony. Not talking flash photography. Not yelling or screaming. Talking. The soprano stopped the…

In all seriousness, though, I'm glad someone still cares about movies enough to get in a fistfight over them.

I always loved "Harry Potter 2" with it's rating based on "creature violence". Wonder if Underword got the same tag?

But WHY is everything blue?
I don't have anything in particular against stylization, but the art direction in these movies pisses me off. What, exactly, do they have against lightbulbs? Why is it never day? It just makes me feel grungy and depressed.
