I wonder -- if it's that terrible (and I believe you), why are they giving it the Big Summer Release instead of quietly sneaking it out next Spring?
Because it's big budget and stars an award winning actress?
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My one worry is that this thing will be so ridiculed, it'll crash and burn Halle's career and send her back to Bryan Singer begging to reprise her role.

When I saw Spiderman on the weekend we saw a trailer for Michael Mann's new movie Collateral with Tom Cruise. Has there been any buzz about this? It was the first that I'd heard of it.

Thanks Dana, for being me on Equilibrium. No mercy. No quarter. Horrific waste all around. Also? gunkata? Anybody else flash back to the Bart Conner masterpiece GYMkata?
How is it that none of the writers made that connection?
I think I'm having a neurolapse because I keep thinking that Angus Macfadyn is a really good actor. I remember feeling slightly woozie after his 5 minute portrayal of Zeus in the otherwise forgettable Jason and the Argonauts mini. Since then, I've been chasing the dragon, trying to find anything he's good in. No success so far.
I actually watched "A Woman is a Helluva Thing". Holy mother of cats, what a disaster. Except that Ann Margaret got a paycheck.

Also: "you wouldn't understand, it's not a chick flick."
I think you should at that point have pulled the comic geek card to counter the chick flick assumptions. I would have.

Ple--
I definitly went into my whole comic book-action/sci fi movie buff mode but they weren't interested.
They were totally blinded by the idea of Halle in a catsuit.
I suggested Gina Torres in a catsuit but they weren't interested.
Halle's thrall is disturbingly strong.
