Agreed. He's given some good performances and some performances I did not care about, but he's probably the most famous person in the world about whom I cannot imagine anyone having an opinion.

No one, ever, in any situation, means "Bryce Dallas Howard".

Upvoted for "Upvoted for unhappy baths."

I am intrigued by your buddy's views and wish to subscribe to his newsletter.

Shannon has/had the stuff to be the Jack Nicholson of his generation, but (two Supporting Actor Oscar nominations aside) just hasn't broken through. I'm not sure if it's about role selection or what.

It's really impossible to know how bad the novel is or isn't when all we're seeing is Susan's filmic interpretation of it. VI's comparison to Cormac McCarthy is an interesting one—-if you described the plot of one of his books ("so this guy finds some money, and then there are these other guys chasing him, and then…

I saw that movie a few years ago when I was in my late twenties and had the maturity of an eight-or-nine-year-old. I'm still deeply unnerved by that whole '70s-early '80s thing of jukebox musicals where the music is performed by other bands ("You like The Beatles?

A Wahlberg? Tom Selleck? Len Cariou? A handful of names I vaguely recognize? This totally sounds like the kind of thing I would watch.

I've never seen Blue Bloods, but I am aware of it!

Oh, for fuck's sake, we crossposted ICE TO SEE YOU. This is getting creepy. Are we the same person? Are you my Tyler Durden?

ICE TO SEE YOU

Hey, I may have *seen* Jungle 2 Jungle, but at least I don't *remember it*.

Also with you on loving "Choke" (book) and hating the movie, and hating The Black Dahlia (despite de Palma being one of my favourite directors).

It's always fascinating to me how whenever someone asks, "What's the worst (anything)?", of any group of people in the universe, there's always a split between people who pick something that is "the worst" and people who pick something that is "horribly overrated". You're never going to see anyone say that "The Room",…

I know, right? Jack's friends Fabrizio and Tommy, Billy Zane, and who could forget the doofus who steered the ship into an iceberg? They were all absolute boobs!

Objectively, probably the worst movie I've ever seen in the theatre was "Jungle 2 Jungle", but I was pubescent and it had Lolita Davidovich in the maximum state of undress allowed in a PG-rated movie, so…I've got to cosign Laura on "Avatar". Did not care for.

I grew up on Dana Carvey's George Bush. Later, watching footage of the real George Bush, I was amazed to find that he looked and sounded nothing like Dana Carvey. But Carvey's impression somehow captured the essence of the guy perfectly, even as it wasn't, "Hey, he's saying all of those things George Bush says!" I…

I read it in a non-mean way. :)

Don't quit your day job, Chief. Whatever that is.

Make me!
