Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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

Are you reading porn at work? I thought that was Shrift's job?

No. I just look at the pictures um... check out the personals.

I have a plan.

Just finished watching 'The Right Stuff' again, for the unteemth time. I can't help it. Sam Shepard does such an amazing job. But even still, I love to shout "Go write a play!" every time he's on screen.

I don't know if it's any good, but how much do I love that Water's new movie is an NC-17? A whole lot.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I don't know if it's any good, but how much do I love that Water's new movie is an NC-17?

How much do I love that it's got Selma Blair with Russ Meyer sized gazongas? It makes me giggle.

The picture I saw made even the most extreme Meyer chick look like Twiggy. Like, I may need to see the movie to see her character move around, just to see if it looks remotely...feasible.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Ooh. That's some good Thing makeup. And it looks like Reed's got a bit of the gray. People can put away the automatic weapons.
The people likely to whip out automatic weapons are the ones who disagree with you on the first point. Personally I'm impressed with the look, but I understand the people who want the low, projecting brow that has been for such a long time associated with the Thing. I think once they see him in action they'll fall in line, assuming the script is worth a damn. Really, that's the part I'm least certain about, given the scuttlebutt on the storyline.

"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

Ben looks passable to me, and I assume any prosthetic wonkiness will be overshadowed by Chicklis' acting. What REALLY worries me is the potential lameness of Mr. Fantastic stretching effects. I hope they spend beaucoup $ to get the CGI right in the establishing scene, and then never have him stretch again in the entire movie.

Wouldn't that kind of make him superfluous as a superhero? Sure, staggering intellect and all, but he's got to do some stretching throughout. I know I'll feel gypped if he doesn't. Besides which, I can think of a variety of uses of his power that would be visually impressive and not the least bit lame.
