The Work and the Glory
That went into general release? I thought that was a local/Utah movie, as it's based on the Mormon equivalent of Roots et al.

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
My favorite scene is the "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" number on the stage behind the curtain--so wonderfully sensual, filled with hidden longing between the two.
That was absolutely my favorite, too. It was beautiful, and seemed so much more real than all the feathered fruited nonsense going on elsewhere. It was just a lot subtler, and wonderfully sensual.

I just saw a Hungarian movie tonight, called "Control" that is due for a US release sometime in April. It was weird, but interesting. I liked it, but I don't think I ever want to watch it again.
Also, the makeup was really bothering me, because I knew I could do a better job.
But the movie was genuinely funny at times, scary at times, and terrible (on purpose, like sad/terrible) at times.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I saw one while I was watching The Magic School Bus. I was baffled as to what they thought their target audience was.
P-C, you were watching it, and you're of draftable age.
I think they've figured out that a lot of young cannon-fodder types still watch cartoons and such-like.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, you were watching it, and you're of draftable age.
Point. But I was just kind of horrified, because I thought, "I wouldn't want my kid to see this while he's watching his fucking cartoon show." I had that instinctive shield-my-child-from-the-evils-of-the-world reaction.

It's a completely valid reaction. In fact, the more I think about it, the more horrified I am. Kids should not grow up thinking that war is a cartoon or a game.

A friend of mine just sent an e-mail with the subject line "Neidermeyer, DEAD!" and this [link]
Turns out John Vernon (aka Dean Wormer) died. I was worried about Mark Metcalf there for a moment though.

Thrive to spite them
There's an article on MSN about casting conflicts between the Superman movie and X3. According to the story the kid who plays Iceman was cast for Jimmy Olsen but because he's contractual obligated to 2 more X movies he wasn't released -- supposedly there is a timing conflict.
Also for a similiar reason James Mardsen is no longer available to play Cyclops.
The article hinted that this is basically petty bickering between the studios because Singer went to direct Superman and left the X3 film.
Even though I'm not a fan of Mardsen I'm not sure how I feel about a replacement actor.
I'm hoping that Halle Berry stays away from X3 (she's apperantly gotten pissy over her diminished roll).
