Is it "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis" that stars Timothy Bottoms, who also played Bush in "That's My Bush"? I had always avoided it in the $5 bin at Wal-mart, but now it sounds kind of hilarious.

Here's my rambling lit crit sounding 2 cents:

did I mention his friend is a talking pie?

He also wrote the music for the Metropolis musical
which, I guess, wasn't the worst thing he ever did. Who'd a thunkit?

Pheeze - I think you cracked the code as to why Tom's been so effective playing "against type." And I agree with lsjoe about Tropic Thunder.

People used to drop dead of heart attacks in their 50s all the time, like my grandpa back in the 1970s. Still happens today (the heart attacks), but I'm assuming there's less dying the first time around, what with modern medicine and all. But then obesity is on the rise, and…

I was visiting some friends from college the weekend F9/11 opened, and opening night we drove over an hour to the nearest theater that was playing it. That song kicked in, the lights when up, and I turned to a friend and said, "well, Kerry's got every vote in this theater." And my friend said, "he already had every…

I'll chime in support for Kung Pow. Movie is funnier than it has any right to be. Ultra-hidden secret success, it is.

I can see this with Brian Robbins. There once was a site I liked called Film Snobs that's now mostly defunct that had an obsession with Hardball, and was convinced that "someday Brian Robbins will accidentally make a great movie." And there is something oddly endearing about the way he seems to believe in the film's…

He's worse than Hitler.

Repeated and intense violence against the powerless and close-ups of genital mutilation all around? Art! Profound! Brave! Making a joke about the Nazis that didn't work and later apologizing? Indefensible!

I also enjoyed Scream 4, which is definitely the best of the sequels. I also thought the end was engaging in how it played around with the end of the first movie in terms of the "is this a sequel or a remake" idea.

The movie is nowhere near as good as the book, but damn does everyone and everything really look awesomely diseased and dirty.

I seem to remember they thought of doing it as a TV movie, or something like for HBO (where the show should have been / was originally slated to be broadcast), but I could be completely misremembering. Ah, what could have been…(cries)

May 21st: The ultimate thrill ride begins.

Oh, that trailer features childhood violations a-plenty. What's weirder is - I seem to recall a Jim Carrey-starring version of Popper's Penguins being kicked around in the 90s. Why now? Have Carrey's going rate and the rights to Ice Ice Baby finally dropped enough to where the studio is willing to give it a go?

I can respect that. And I didn't grow up there, so its probably easier for me to go "oh, what again with the suburban angst?" from the outside.

Perhaps I came on a bit strong. I don't hate "The Suburbs", and it is in my current rotation. I know it isn't just from a young, immature perspective - from the beginning's "I want a daughter while I'm still young" to the closing "you know I'd only waste it again" - and that closing bit and "City With No Children" are…
