What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Incredibles fans, take note:

Marking the fastest move from screen to DVD ever for a Disney/Pixar movie, The Incredibles will make its debut in video stores on March 15, Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment announced Wednesday. As of last weekend, it was still playing in more than 1,000 theaters (and has grossed more than $257 million domestically.) Among a slew of extras, the video will sport a five-minute clip called Jack-Jack Attack featuring the youngest member of the Incredibles family, and a 20-minute alternate opening. In a statement, Gordon Ho, head of marketing for BVHE, said, "Our hope is to make this the biggest DVD release of the year."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Man, Kate. You're lucky I didn't know that until now, cause I would have totally acted all resentful and bitter toward you in New York. And maybe sent you off on the wrong subway.

Pfft. Your resentment does not faze me. Besides, then you never would have met my Zambian arch-nemesis.

I've seen it a few times, and still hate Andie MacDowell too much to call the film great. It's entertaining, and Bill Murray is fantastic, but she's just...ugh.

Or, you know, What Jessica Said.

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

(Uma Thurman) looks exactly like her brother if he were wearing a training bra.

Ummm . . . . [link]

Top 5 Bill Murray performances?

  1. Groundhog Day
  2. Rushmore (which I really need to get on DVD, now that I think about it.)
  3. Ghostbusters (You know that line where he says, "Nothing human could stack books that way?" Ad lib.)
  4. Caddyshack
  5. Little Shop of Horrors

This is, of course, assuming that we're not including his SNL work.

Groundhog Day is one of two movies in which I can stand AM. The other is Hudson Hawk.

HUDSON HAWK!!!!

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

Apparently I like Steve Martin movies, because "L.A. Story" and "Roxanne" were great. I didn't even mind "Father of the Bride."

I also loved "Splash."

I just saw "Hotel Rwanda" in class. I think I need a hug.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hugs Alibelle.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

We've wandered from cheesy movies to pretty darn good movies, but I'd like to mention one for the cheesy title: Eddie and the Cruisers. Something about it--the sequel was a horrid misbegotten waste of film, but the first one was just about perfect, for what it was. And the cast--Barkin, Berringer, Joey Pants, and one or the other of the Laurance twins.

And we just watched Streets of Fire tonight. Fun! I was so disillusioned to find out the Sorels didn't really sing their song.

Eddie and the Cruisers and Streets of Fire were both early faves for me. I'm a sucker for a rock n' roll fable.
