I saw it and was impressed with both Lohan and Curtis, although Curtis had a bigger share of the comedy.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Lindsay did seem to be better at playing an adult than Jamie Lee was at playing a teen
While this is true, the disturbing thing is that Lindsay was better at playing a matronly 40-something than Lindsay was at playing a teen. Very odd.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I did see "Parent Trap," and it was better than I expected.
I liked this movie a lot more before time passed, and suddenly the possibility that Dennis Quaid might someday be starring opposite Lindsey Lohan as his love interest became real. I mean, I like to think everyone involved would say "ew" and back away slowly, but that sort of thing isn't exactly unheard-of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope Tom Hanks wins:
Hollywood hunks Russell Crowe, George Clooney, Tom Hanks and Hugh Jackman are battling for the lead role in movie adaptation of best-seller The Da Vinci Code. The film's director, Ron Howard will choose which actor would best suit the role of Robert Langdon, who discovers clues in Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, which lead to the discovery of a religious mystery protected by a secret society for 2000 years. The novel's author, Dan Brown is currently suing Lewis Perdue, who claims his work has been plagiarized and is planning a rival Da Vinci film with reality TV king Mark Burnett.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I could have liked PD2 at least as well as the first one were it not for the little kid from the Cosby Show joining Julie Andrews for a song. That whole scene rubbed me the wrong way. Otherwise, still good.
I also liked Ella Enchanted quite a bit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I hope Tom Hanks wins
Word. If any of the others gets cast, I might actually have to see it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Mark Burnette? Oy.
How *is* The Da Vinci code? From hearing vague rumblings about the book, I get a feeling it's a slick piece of pretentious BS, but if it's a fun, readable BS, I may give it a try, just to see what all the brouhaha is about. From the description above, it sounds similar to Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, only without a sense of irony.

I found it neither fun nor readable. Personally.

The snippets I managed to read were poorly-written crap. Like the worst sort of Mary Sue Story for Boys.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I get worried when all of my non-reader friends (the ones who won't read a book for years, then hand me Tuesdays with Morrie because it's sooooo good) not only have read The DaVinci Code but own it, and proclaim it the bestest book EVAH.
That said, it could be good but I haven't read it yet.
