Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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

Is there another Bond rumour? It must be Monday.

British actor Dougray Scott has reportedly beaten off competition from actors, Eric Bana, Ioan Gruffud and Clive Owen to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. The To Kill A King hunk, 38, clinched the role after discussions with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and will be the seventh actor to appear as the sexy British agent. He will make his first appearance in the 23rd Bond movie after Eon Productions decided they wanted to return to a more brooding Bond in the mould of fellow Scot Sean Connery, reports British newspaper the Sunday Mirror. A movie insider says, "Producers have been eager to take Bond back to the broody and sexy figure that Sean was so brilliant at. Obviously it's not possible for Sean to return at his age, so they have been looking for a younger actor with similar characteristics. Since then Barbara and Dougray have been in talks - and she believes he will be the perfect new 007 for the 21st Century." Brosnan announced two months ago that he would not be starring as Bond again, saying, "That's it. I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Um, that would be Rope. At least, once you correct for what couldn't be put on the screen in 1948.

And STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (like most Highsmith) is hardly lacking in the serious HoYay! department, either.

Gael Garcia Bernal in drag? A gay Spanish remake of Vertigo? When does this movie come out in the States??

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I watched Gingersnaps II this weekend. My manager lent me the DVD. He's now my favorite manager ever. (Well, he was before, too. But his adds to his lead.) Good lines, excellent ending.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Thanks, Kate. And just because it has to be said, I fucking hated The Cell as well.

My friend and I laughed during Vince Vaughan's disemboweling.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Is Hollywood really so bereft of talent and originality?

Why the fuck would anyone want to do this?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is Hollywood really so bereft of talent and originality?

Is this a trick question? Don't you remember they made a movie out of The Beverly Hillbillies within living memory?

Bad Education is fabulous in many, many ways. Not the least of which is Gael Garcia Bernal being a thing of beauty, and a joy forever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No one has ever successfully escaped from Precinct 13.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I think I could like Dougray Scott as Bond.
