I will see it because of the talent involved. But this does feel like a Wim Wenders situation. Europeans trying to do their European take on America now get Americans doing their American take on Europe. If this were a truly "American" version we wouldn't be in Sweden, we'd be on Cape Cod, and the Vanger family would…

I was afraid saying "playing Telephone" would have sounded like someone turned on Lady Gaga.

Max von Sydow
for Henrik? Is this a stretch for anyone's imagination at this point?

Thank you.

The full collection of The New Scooby Doo Movies ought to be released for my viewing pleasure. I love Mama Cass and Jonathan Winters, but Phyllis Diller's ep was the best, The Ogre.

I always hoped that by knowing they had failed the first time they would know to put in the work the second time so it doesn't sour again. The film is meant as an optimistic second chance to fix what went wrong, not to repeat it.

Double standard! Joseph Gordon Levitt always looks like he's squinting but nobody talks trash about him. It's because he's a man, isn't it?

I wonder what he'll play when he's too old for action movies. Crazy pedophile uncles?

Admittedly most of the major outlets were late picking this one up, but if we regularly followed The Force then we'd have caught it earlier.

I'm telling you, Nic Cage needs to be the Master in a Tarantino remake of Manos: The Hands Of Fate.

I'm prepared for the lashes I'll get for this:

Charles Rocket could have said "Fuck" in this flick instead of playing "Dad-ula" in Hocus Pocus.

Ben's messenger bag. It went everywhere with him.

Yeah, the inception of a name planted by a movie. Apologies.

I have a friend who wasn't exactly substituting but was a teacher's assistant as part of her undergrad teaching program and she had districts she could pick from. She avoided our district, naturally, because who wants to be 3 years out and getting winking remarks in the class from a teacher about what she was like as…

In my Michigan school district we had teachers teaching right out of college at 22, but they were limited to middle school or earlier. You had to have a Master's to teach high school.

There was a big ol' re-edit since the first postings. But there are also a bunch of new ones, mini interviews, and other wonderful goodies. Buy it! You'll like it!

The Brits had Blackadder Goes Forth. The US had MASH. The Brits had Monty Python. The US has SNL. The Brits had Dr. Who. The US had Buffy. The Brits had The Office. The US has The Office.

False! Me and Rabin would have found him! Oh wait, no, we wouldn't have. We left before Jonah Hex could deliver any movie-ending soliloquys.

Ding ding, ding ding….
