So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I totally agree with Plei on Harold and Kumar. One of the best movies I've seen all year.

Whee!

It was a lot of fun.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I haven't seen Garden State yet, but H&K was one of the most accurate depictions of New Jersey that I've seen on film.

The Palace on the Plaza is showing Donnie Darko: Director's Cut this Friday. I'm gonna skip Stargate and go.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Just a rumor?

Alex: Would you ever consider bidding for the X-Men 3 helming duty now that Bryan Singer is tied up with Superman
Guillermo: Alex, I hear that Joss Whedon is doing it and as a fan I think that's perfect. I think that the character I love the most in the X-Men mythology is Beast, so it's too close to Hellboy for comfort

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh.

The Passion Of The Christ star Jim Caviezel may be ready to sign a deal to star as Superman in the long-awaited new film Superman Returns. The hunky actor - who movingly portrayed Jesus in Mel Gibson's controversial epic - is said to be very close to an agreement with studio Warner Bros. despite his agent's recent insistence the part had not yet been offered to him. Big name stars such as Jude Law, Josh Hartnett and Brendan Fraser have already been offered, and turned down, the role. However, according to respected comic book author Mark Miller, Caviezel's participation is all but guaranteed. He writes, "You remember I told you to relax about Superman? That a very, very trusted and experienced director we'd all love was coming over? That everything would be fine? Well, my same good buddy has informed me that Jim Caviezel is officially the new man of steel and what a perfect choice he is. Expect an announcement shortly."

Maybe they'll just film Kingdom Come.

And isn't it Millar?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The hunky actor

Hm? Jim Caviezel looks like he weighs 98 lb. soaking wet. I am basing this on movies where he is still intact at the end, like Frequency, where Dennis Quaid looked like he coulda eaten the guy for breakfast.

He's very pretty, but slight. I think it's insane, and hope it's more Bond-like rumour.

"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

I never felt scared for Jennifer Lopez in Angel Eyes because it looked like she could break him in two with one bump of her... hip.

Then again, if Bale can put on 60 lbs. of muscle between The Machinist and Batman Begins, maybe there's hope that a trainer can do something with Caviezel. At least we know he can act, which is more than I can say for Welling.

I think (fear) his bones sabotage him. I mean, Guy Pearce is patently capable of putting on the muscle -- but he's not big hero-looking guy.

I think Caviezel's eyes might be able to save my soul, but I doubt his biceps could save my ass.
