Scarlett Johannsen needs to have a run-in with Lauren Bacall.

I would pay serious money to be a witness to this. Though really the ideal situation would be for Ms. Bacall to steal away whatever 40ish midlife crisis-having millionaire Johannsen is dating, as publicly as possible.

All Hugh (Grant) All Colin (Firth) All Wet All The Time. And that is final.

Does anyone else totally identify with this comic?

I did, until the punchline, and then I was all, "I don't get it."

The release date is September 30th. Hopefully it won't change again.

The new release date for Serenity is my birthday! Woo hoo! That is an awesome day. Good choice. I will be 23, and I always go to the movies on my birthday.

I've been told I look like Matthew Modine. Well, actually, I've been told I look like somebody who looks like Matthew Modine. Although who I REALLY look like is Ray Manzerak.

Ooh, can we play the what actors do you look like game? I honestly think I look rather like Robin Wright in The Princess Bride, but the people I hear the most often are Lisa Kudrow, and Amber Benson, and one time "You're that girl from American Beauty ! Hey! Why aren't you talking to me! You think you're better than me?!" But he was drunk. I was also told I look like Sarah Michelle once, but I think someone was just trying to be nice, since the person in question knew I obsessed over liked Buffy.

"You're that girl from American Beauty!"

Mena Suvari or Thora Birch?

Trying to figure out which one is more of a compliment...

Going with Thora, cuz she's talented. Sometimes.

P-C: I've said it before, I'll say it again: I don't get you on movies. Our TV tastes are like perfectly synergistic, but I just don't see how you can love Eternal Sunshine (best movie of ever, maybe) and not love Lost in Translation (other best movie of ever).

(For the people who are like "Dude, your 'ever' sure covers a short time period, you young whipprsnapper you," I present these excuses: 1) I'm exaggerating 2) NANNY NANNY YOU ARE OLD!)

Mena Suvari or Thora Birch?

I have no idea. He was way drunk, and I quoted what he kept saying. Probably Mena, because of the blonde. He was really insistent about it, though. Odd little man.

Movie stars have my sympathies. Weird people accosting you on the street is just disconcerting, every time.

Does anyone know why "The Notebook" has now been moved to a February release to dvd? When I was all happily set on a November one? And why does "Elf" now have a very long wait, when before it was a short wait? Does the line in front of you get longer at Netflix? Because that's less than cool.

I think if there's a pattern of people not returning the disc, your wait gets longer.

I have no idea. He was way drunk, and I quoted what he kept saying. Probably Mena, because of the blonde. He was really insistent about it, though. Odd little man.

He was just trying to get you to open your shirt, and hoping there would be roses.

I clung to Cutthroat Island and to Swashbuckler because, hey, it was a LONG time between pirate movies. (Also? Robert Shaw: yummyburger.)

Betsy ... did you miss the Roman Polanksi movie Pirates, starring Walter Matthau?

Best pirate movie after Big Gay Pirate Move: Muppet Treasure Island. Tim Curry!!!!

From IMDB 22 November 2004:

Greek Lawyers May Sue Over Gay Scenes in 'Alexander'

A group of Greek lawyers, maintaining that no historical document mentions that Alexander the Great ever engaged in homosexual acts, has threatened to sue director Oliver Stone and Warner Bros. unless the title credits for Alexander mention that the film is fiction. "We are not saying that we are against gays," Yannis Varnakos, one of the lawyers, told Britain's Guardian newspaper. "But we are saying that the production company should make it clear that the film is pure fiction and not a true depiction of the life of Alexander." In the film, Alexander, portrayed by Colin Farrell, is depicted as having lovers of both sexes.

Methinks they doth protest too much.

Plus they're just calling attention to the whole thing.
