The Bard's Tale seems ripe for the picking.

Jungle Hunt
Ms. Pac-Man

One more thing:

HipsterDBag, you don't like comics and graphic novels because "a truly great author will be able to do it with words?" Does this mean that you vastly prefer radio plays to film and television? I doubt it, seeing as you've just described a bunch of movies and their relative merits.

Yeah, good for Reitman that he didn't direct it.

The thing that's infuriating about Quitely, though, is that he doesn't use an inker—doesn't even ink his own work, it's all just pencils—and he still can't keep a schedule. That's an entire phase of the production process gone, and he's still late?

@3rd prize: I think calling "Rocky" racist is reading a little too much into it. Sly Stallone wanted to write a starring vehicle for himself. He was inspired by the story of Chuck Wepner, a little-known fighter from Jersey who went 15 rounds with Ali back in '75. Stallone naturally cast himself as the story's

It's overshadowed by When We Were Kings, but William Klein's documentary Muhammad Ali: The Greatest, which begins in 1964 and ends in 1974, is pretty fantastic. It's more of a movie about Ali than it is about boxing, but if Ali captures even a small part of your imagination, check this out.

Putting it to the test
I just did a comparison test of bing and Google. I was looking for tickets to Ethan Coen's "Offices" at the Atlantic Theater Company. I typed in "offices atlantic." One search engine brought up the Atlantic's website as the #1 result. The other—guess which one?—directed me to a seemingly

It's not called "funemployment" for nothing!

And who could forget that unsung classic, Guarding Tess?

Leaving Las Vegas, however, is the exception that proves the rule.

Finding Forrester, Wrestling Ernest Hemingway, Bringing Down The House, the list goes on…

Well, Hamlet's not supposed to be "old," per se—he's in his early thirties, if I recall correctly—but he sure as hell isn't supposed to be a teenager. Then again, maybe early thirties is old…I just don't think of it that way, because, well, I'm in my early thirties and I still feel like a juvenile.

Kenny's right…Carey Lowell has got to be the most beautiful woman who ever appeared on that show.

That was her, Felix…You might also remember Elizabeth Rohm as the worst "actress" ever to make it to a primetime show. At least she didn't have to fake her way through emotional trauma the way she did on "Angel." I'm amazed that show survived her monumental awfulness.

Actually, it's "Mr. Karloff," and while I'm not quite sure what "ballons" are, I will be sure to keep balloons away from him.

I can't imagine a talking Dug doll wouldn't sell like hotcakes.

I have to respectfully disagree with Tasha: this movie is every bit as heartwrenching as "The Iron Giant." Maybe it's because it hit close to home for me: my grandparents are still alive and in their 90s, and I was thinking about them the whole time as we watched Carl and Ellie grow old together.
