I've never read TWILIGHT. What I have heard about it, and the bits of the movies I've seen, makes me think I wouldn't like it, but I have no direct contact with it so I don't hate it or anything. Here is a guy advocating pretty hard to overcome that… and his description of it actually sounds WORSE than what I…

I would love to see two Final Jeopardy contestants debate whether "Orange is" and "Oranges" are distinct pronunciations or not.

Sorry, are you trying to say that you think that any of the performances in TROPIC THUNDER were not cartoon characters?

Those were the glory days…

I thought it was "Lime", but the speakers in my car aren't very good.

I don't think there's any question, Jay had more involvement than he lets on.

The problem isn't so much "rich people work hard to get rich" as the coupled implication "poor people need to work harder then they can also be rich." The former is generally true, the latter is virtually always a lie.

I worked with a guy who has made a comfortable living for the last forty years training the dogs for travelling Annie shows (he was the trainer for the original production, and had to figure out a lot of things nobody knew how to do to get a dog to perform onstage). So, yeah, somebody's going to the shows.

Honestly, I don't think most critics these days understand what critics are supposed to do and why it's important. I think several generations of in-breeded taste have left it so that the only people who want to become critics are people who like movies that only critics like, and the majority have long since…

Maybe if North Korea insists hard enough it will happen.

I can't tell if the Egyptian guy is Michael Shannon trying to look like Matthew Broderick, or Matthew Broderick trying to look like Michael Shannon, but I'm leaning towards the former.

You know, if they're trying to convince me that they didn't finish shooting the film by using Robin Williams' corpse, that picture is backfiring.

The word "word" is really being overused to the word where word's word.

"You know that Mistah Mistah lady? I think I just, uh, killed her."

I'm assuming that, like Peter Sellers, they have enough outtake footage to make more "Night at the Museum" movies built around him.

I disagree about the book. Plot-wise, they are the same, but Cain is able to speed through things with his amazingly tight prose. I feel like one page of Cain turned into 15 minutes of TV show unless it was a dialogue page. A story that is perfect for 200 pages can seem flabby at six hours.

That is a brilliant mash up idea. Jimmy Stewart singing "Light My Fire", but also Jim Morrison rocking out to "Auld Lang Syne" at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life"; the whole family is singing it and George Bailey steps up and says "Hey, does anybody want to me to whip my dick out?"

I know a guy who is super-pretentious about Japan who swears that is the correct pronunciation. I always assumed he was accurate, but he was kind of a dick, so I still won't say it that way.

Gervais did it in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and it was funny.

That's bullshit. People have always had to balance between presenting the story that is important to them and getting somebody to pay for it. The answer isn't "Ignore this story", the answer is "Find a way to present it that people want to read." Or "Find a way to communicate with people who are more likely to…
