I happen to know that P-C also likes the hard stuff and would appreciate the finer points of Spinal Tap. The subtle jokes, the carefully crafted innuendos... I'm not sure of his stance on cucumbers though.

Hey, even more rumors about possible Whedon direction of X Men 3.

I am not sure how to feel about this, though seeing Sir Ian read Cordeliaesque Joss dialog could make me delirious.

Just think, with Joss writing and directing Halle's only line would probably be "Goodbye, cruel world!"

I was hoping he would make her the focal point of his film.
Out for revenge after the brutal (on screen) execution of Storm, the x-men find that Halle Storm was an imposter.
We welcome Gina Storm, or Angela Storm, or nearly any other actress at all and then the opening credits can roll.

Sorry, I used the quick edit. Then I forgot that code is not magic. Should work now, I think.

I thought Joss once said he wouldn't direct anything he didn't write himself.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just saw Cellular, and it's actually pretty fun. It doesn't take itself nearly as seriously as Phone Booth did (though I liked that one too, if only because it let me look at Colin Farrell and listen to Kiefer Sutherland for 90 minutes), and the main character's mistakes that keep the plot going are all fairly reasonable mistakes. (For values of "reasonable" which fall within the film's admittedly broad spectrum, of course. But the film does a pretty good job of balancing the instant action hero-ness with the regular-guy-who-makes-the-wrong-decision-sometimes-ness)
And William H Macy is terrific -- he has the best "figuring things out" face of anyone in the business.

Okay, now I see why Spinal Tap is so popular. That's a damn funny movie.
Although like "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" and "Play it again, Sam," the phrase "Turn it to 11" is never actually said in the movie. But there are a lot of other great quotable lines like "You can't really dust...vomit" and "Well you ask yourself, how much more black could this be? And the answer is...none...none more black."
Has anyone seen Fear of a Black Hat ? It's like Spinal Tap, but with a rap group, and it's a lot more ridiculous and a tad less grounded in reality. But very, very, very funny.
I also feel like changing my tag to "The Patron Saint of Quality Footwear."
