Yay!
Cracked had this on their list of the most unitentionally terrifying ads ever, and their link didn't work! So thank you for finally letting me enjoy the horror.

Kevin James
Eh, Will Smith not being in Hitch wouldn't have hurt anything. Kevin James is the best thing about that movie.

"What is that?!"

I would go to to epcot just to eat, for several days, if I could. Vacation food is better than normal food anyway but the restaurants at Epcot are heavenly.

Hey Smartypants McKnowitall, I thought Diary of a Wimpy kida was actually really good.

I just looked at his IMDB and have decided that I like him as a director (directed an episode of Justified, apparently)…but as an actor I have no opinion at all.

Oh good, we've turned on District 9 now…

sure-to-be-nominated-someday Rockwell
I love how Rockwell is always described with something like that. It's like every critic who talks about him stops just short of saying "For the love of God, will you break out already! We've been saying you're the next big quirky dramatic thing for the last decade!"

Also
I do look at Ian McKellen in Lord of the Rings and see a powerful wizard and nothing else. If you were going to discuss whether an audience could see Ian McKellen in a movie and not be able to forget that he's gay why wouldn't you go to the movies where we're supposed to accept that he's with Rebecca Romign? For

Is he the love interest?
I haven't seen the movie but nothing in that last clip (other than the ultra compensating violins) tells me that those two have acknowledged their deep mutual love now. She hugs him and says "Thanks for being there for me when no one else was." I'm getting that they're friends now.

Question I'll keep asking until I die: Why was there only one actual German in Valkyrie?

Oh yeah, my favorite segment of Benjamin Button. He's also alot of fun in Bettie Page.

Oh, Is that the one with the insanely creepy bluegrass song in the background and…something…sloooowly pulling a body behind it? Because that was one the trailers they played before "The Hitcher" I was in the theatre all alone and that came on, and I saw that trailer and pretty much went "Screw this!" and decided to

"Blame it on the little guy, who must have read the schedulr wrong with his ONE EYE!"

It's Alive
Annoucing the rating at the end of the "It's Alive" trailer kinda kills the dread a little. There's this creepy build up and then he says "Don't see it alone…Please…rated PG" Might as well have said "Don't see it alone…bring your kids….really, the theatre will have no problem with it"

I didn't immedeately love him back when he was starting out, but I like him more with every movie I've seen him in recently. He's made some interesting choices lately (The Proposal is actually a lot smarter and warmer than you'd think and he was great in it) and doing a movie like this, where it's just him in a box

Inexplicably drawn to this
Actually, its explicable. I just love owls. Particularly barn owls. And that picture up there, with the white face and the big eyes and the feathers…for a couple hours of that moving around in 3D, I'd be willing to deal with an obvious fantasy plot.

Oh man, was I not prepared for what happened to Dobby…

I don't get it
"an ice queen worthy of Alfred Hitchcock or Paul Verhoeven" This isn't the first time I've heard someone at AVClub describing Verhoeven as equal to Hitchcock in casting icy intimidating blondes, and I have to say I do not see it. Other than Sharon Stone who else fills this type in his movies? Because I

But he still gets to say "Who am I here?"
