Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You know what is really funny about these storms? The schools and whatnot make the call to close before a single flake has been seen.
I understand it (because who wants a zillion kids in buses right when the snowfall is supposed to peak) but it is funny to think of all these kids having snowdays when for half the time, there is no snow.
JF?
guessing Jaime Foxx.
From the Cintra Wilson recap:
The biggest argument I got in with my phone-support crew, most notably my dirty and scurrilous libel-meister "Wayne Brave," was whether or not that Catherine Zeta-Jones bit between Rock and Adam Sandler was an actual boner. I thought she actually failed to show up, because surely that ghastly, time-murdering disaster wasn't a planned comedy bit.
I thought it was definitely planned. The entire (weak, elderly) joke was that Sandler has all these "seductive" lines, but, ha ha, he has to say them to a dude instead of a chick. If he'd said them to Catherine Zeta-Jones, it would have been even lamer.
Anyone disagree?
JF = Jamie Foxx.
The last movie who did something similar to me (crying all the last half hour, yet leaving with a big smile) was "Big Fish".
Oh yeah. But Big Fish took a while to sneak up on me -- Finding Neverland I loved from the start. But I have Peter Pan issues.
Jamie Foxx
Ah, gotcha.
If he'd said them to Catherine Zeta-Jones, it would have been even lamer.
Yeah. The lines were really exaggerated even by Oscar pseudo-banter standards.
But I have Peter Pan issues.
Oh, I think I am you in that, as well.
I loved it that they remembered that the story wasn't just a happy shiny let's-fly-and-have-fun-all-is-great tale, but had its sadder emotional moments, as well. They had the spirit of the story (even if most of their facts regarding JMB and the family he met were different than t he actual meeting that took place), and that's what counted most, for me.
That was definitely a planned bit -- Adam Sandler and Chris Rock have a movie together coming out this year.
The group I watched the Oscars with were really unhappy at the clip they showed for Finding Neverland. None of them knew the story at all and all felt spoiled for it now.
