Tom! My cell phone informed me that I missed a call from you last night! I was in the grocery store when I heard the annoying beep that lets me know I missed a call, and when I checked the phone, I said "Oh -- I missed Tom! DAMN IT!" loudly enough to make the deli lady look up.
Slap my hand now!

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There is no shit he has not thrown on the wall (sometimes, his acting skill elevates a crappy project into bizarre fun!), so it's not exactly a surprise that some of it has stuck.
And yet, Samuel J has made more. He needs better shitflingers, plus a franchise or two.
Funniest thing on that list is Anthony Daniels with his 6 movies, and Orlando Bloom with 8. THAT'S how you pick your work.

According to that list, Keira Knightley is the only female movie star.
I could live with that, and I don't even have anything in particular against Julia.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least Orli has played more than one character.

I can go as far as agreeing he's played characters with different hair ...
Okay, I kid because I love. I just hope his agent is the highest paid in the industry. He's fucking genius.

Yes, but so far she's been baggage in other people's movies (A KNIGHT'S TALE, KING ARTHUR) and franchise movies (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN).

She wasn't in A Knight's Tale, and I bet Bend It Like Beckham made a huge relative profit.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Seriously. Bloom the only Rings person at the Oscars (presenting, no less!)? Incredible.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Also Love, Actually (which I wouldn't call another person's movie, exactly, but it definitely wasn't hers). We'll have to see how well she does with Pride and Prejudice.
[edit:
Bend It Like Beckham
Ah! Forgot about that one.]

I am sooo embarrassed. That was Shannyn Sossamon.
However, I shall hastily rebound to claim that any actor who can be mistaken for another actor is not a Star. Of course, this wipes out Kirsten Dunst and Reese Witherspoon, but I'm good with that.
