Mamet is not out of shape. I think he's right up there with Al Bundy buying private lessons from the Gracies. He'd arm-bar Simon in about 15 seconds.

When I say backlashed, I mean by cool people. (brushes chips off chest)

Weren't they immediately backlashed? They were boring as shit. BUT, they were exactly as boring as their source material, which means the Hobbit will be good.

Hugh Jackman may have pulled off Wolverine, but after you see him not acting and realize he's a drama-class type of guy, he's just not that type of dude. Should pick up where Hugh Grant left off.

Don't get me wrong, Cruise is a good actor and is committed and all that. But the thought of him as a person; scientologist, rich guy, closeted gay dude, manly motorcycle rider, paragon for those pick-up artist guys. I just think of him reading those books and wanting to play the lead huge guy, I just want someone to…

I read some of them. I had heard at one point that the author was waiting to find an actor who could be physically intimidating before turning out any movies, since the size of the dude is half the character.

Plus she's not as hot.

BAN!

There you go.

This movie is dead
to me now. I hate that guy, can't stand his face.

Hmmmmm…
Crispen Glover…
I don't know, can he do understated?

Counterpoint: Shark attacks are almost constant. You should just watch shitty movies, and limit water exposure to sponge baths.

Except this one, looks like a book about alcoholic brides from 1983.

On the rape issue, way more men get raped in the military than you would think, so there's that.

Death Proof should be an example of women kicking ass realistically. They out-drive the big man, then shoot him, then rat pack him 3 to one.

KJ Parker's engineer trilogy is nice and dry.

Nice! Either of those would be ok with me.
