Well, good for him. Nice to know he has a marketable skill.

@MrBill: with you at every step on Night, except I haven't seen Happening because I don't want to be disappointed even more. I'm only holding out hope because he has the rights to Yann Martel's Life of Pi, and I'd like to see what he does with it. If he screws that one up, though, he's dead to me.

Eh, Doctorow's okay — just not as funny/witty/talented as he thinks he is.

Jamie Foxx video + Angels & Demons & Tom Hanks Acting Like a Total Douche = FAIL for 2009. All he needs is to rape another Dr. Seuss book and he'll have the fail trifecta.

Darn, there goes my Lars von Trier comment.

Gets at least a five-year pass from me for directing Iron Man.

The worst aspect of Mike D. watching Antichrist …
… is that apparently it caused him to miss Kenneth Loach's Looking for Eric, which is now being talked up not only as an enjoyable film (putting it way ahead of LVT's little bit of torture-porn) but also as a definite Palme d'Or contender. But I had to go to Rotten…

Are you sure Trier didn't cut his Von off with scissors at some point?

My wife and I went to see Titanic on our first date. If I hate on it, I basically renounce my marriage. Ain't gon' happen.

Thank you, Thatches, for reminding us of possibly Sheen's greatest moment.

Memo to Opie Taylor:
Jamie Foxx video + Angels & Demons = FAIL FOR 2009!

Demi could play the boob-lined wall. Wouldn't be much of a stretch for her.

Caruso, you're out of your element!

Y'know, Willem Dafoe is one of only a few people I've given my personal lifetime ban to (see the recent AVQ&A thread), but even I wouldn't wish THAT on him!

From the sounds of Mike's description, David, you might not want to risk SEEING the movie either. Yeccch!

Christopher Hitchens is a used enema bag, so he doesn't count.

(Insert applause for SYZH and Bender)

Yeah, Kyle — we know you only hate Jeter because he's gay. Dirty homophobe!

Also did the voices of both Moses and God in "Prince of Egypt." Not sure if you'd consider that a good thing or a bad thing.

And no love for V for Vendetta?!? That film owns! Or am I just saying that because I'm becoming a libertarian
