I saw the picture in EW too - -ick.
Also, why are the posts here suddenly too wide for my screen? Is it my computer? Or something else?
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was a long link in jimi's post -- I edited it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
At least the Batman role means Bale had to put on a lot of muscle weight after The Machinist. I'm sure the boomeranging can't be healthy in the long term, but he's probably not going to die of consumption now.
I saw Aliens vs. Predator this evening. Now, bearing in mind that my $5.50 was already well-spent in seeing Ben Affleck smacked in the head with a snow shovel, I enjoyed it enough. I think the worst of the reviews dipped too far into hyperbole regarding the Alien's appearance and the Predators' fighting acumen. Both seemed fine to me. I did have problems with Lance Henrikson's Aliens 3-contradicting appearance, the idea of Aliens having been on earth for millenia, and both the heroes and the Queen Alien apparently being able to outrun a small thermonuclear explosion.
I was amused by Raoul Bova surviving through 3/4 of the movie for no discernible reason aside from Joss' "Too Pretty to Die" hypothesis. But of course, this being the Aliens franchise, being a male model gets trumped by being the hot, badass woman with the most common sense (but not enough to avoid the situation altogether) .
Also saw trailers for Blade: Trinity and Taxi (no Christian Kane though), both of which look quite enjoyable.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Anybody know anything about the remake of Zatoichi? It's playing in DC; should I make the effort to see it?
The Takeshi one? Absolutely. It's a gorgeous film and deserves a big screen.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
How fortuitous. Or, perhaps just coat-tailing. IFC just ran two Zatoichi films Friday night. I enjoyed the first one, but fell asleep shortly after the second one started. I'll look and see if they're running them again any time soon.

Also, he's not desperately in love with anybody but himself.

Ha!
Can't entirely disagree.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am watching Jurassic Park III.
Should I be?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just saw Shaun of the Dead, and I think it may be the most made-for-Buffista movie I have ever seen. It's like The Office meets 28 Days Later.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I've never even heard of it, but your description makes me want to run out and see it right now. I'm giggling at the scenarios I'm constructing in my head.
