Yeah, I definitely remember him being an ass about the whole Star Trek thing. And it didn't help that the movie sucked.

I saw The Rose last night for the first time. Is it too late to take the Oscar back from Sally Field and give it to Bette?

You don't like Sally? You don't really like her?

I thought she was great. but also, Bette was robbed. But when my mom joined the teacher's union, I called her Norma Rae for a week.

Interesting movie news...

2005 will see the release of Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee's new movie about gay cowboys played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Anne Hathaway (the chick from "The Princess Diaries") and Michelle Williams (the chick from "Dawson's Creek") star as their wives. Also on the cast are Linda Cardellini ("Freaks and Geeks," "Scooby Doo"), and Kate Mara (Vanessa on "Nip/Tuck"). The film's based on the short story of the same name. Apparently, Jake Gyllenhaal got a body double for the nude scenes, but Heath did not.

Anne Hathaway and Bijou Phillips are starring in "Havoc," which should come out late this year. It's about two girls obsessed with gang culture, and there's lots of sex and nudity, and possibly an NC-17 rating. Yay, nakedness!

Back to gay movie news: AICN is reporting on Johnny Depp's new movie Libertine, in which he plays a gay painter or something, and there's "graphic man-kissing."

AICN also has an article on Return of the Living Dead 4 & 5, which should have a lot of gorey goodness; and another article on Matt Stone and Trey Parker wanting to remake their student film "Cannibal: The Musical."

I thought she was great. but also, Bette was robbed. But when my mom joined the teacher's union, I called her Norma Rae for a week.

I thought Sally was great too - and deserving of that Oscar. Bette was a bit overwrought for my taste, but those kind of movies are sooooo predictable, and I've only got so much patience for folks on a self-destructive binge. (Watched Less Than Zero on cable the other night and kept thinking of Robert Downey's character "Dude, just die already.")

You want Bijou Phillips obsessed with gang culture (with a side-o-Robert Downey Jr. and nudity?) rent Black & White, James Toback's improvised whatevah. (I always want to type Vic Taback there. Huh.)

The Mike Tyson scenes make me want to bite someone's ear off. Or hit the eject button, which ever comes first.

Hecubus, would it be better if he had been a giant snake? And, yes, Hec, SF got my little lefty heart racing and stuff...lame acceptance or no. I like a social statement, sometimes.(And this is probably "Well, duh, I never noticed, Leftist McLiberal. Thanks for sharing...along with your crip oppression and partially indigenous background...and blah blah blah.")

Caught the briefest of glances at a tv tonight with Seth Green and his "up the creek" cohorts on what looked like an award show. I'm going to guess it had the word 'choice' in the title.

I was thunderstruck by what a wee tot of a fellow he is. I could swear he's my hieght...5footnuthin' but imdb claims he's 5'4".

Reminds me of a former paramour who was a good half inch shorter but insisted he was 5'3". Okay, honey...

I recall a recent actor hieght discussion here that disabused me of the notion that most movie stars are Alan Ladd's. But still...there are some tiny guys. Makes me wonder if they all do the Casablanca trick and dig trenches for the tall girls to stand in for the face-to-face shots.

In his commentary for "Can't Hardly Wait" (which is worth owning just for his commentary), during the scene in which he and his friends pull up to the party in a big ol' SUV, Seth admits that the crew had to sit him on a stack of phone books to make sure he was actually visible from outside the car.
