This kind of casting makes me wonder if we've reached the era when they cast actors, replace them with CGI doubles, and then dub in the voices.
Jar Jar Binks says: "Meesa tink dis already happen."
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Hey. New board.
/me plays the hilarious fake Star Wars Episode III trailer where Jar Jar gets killed with about 8,000 poison-tip darts, and thereby calms down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
I will be seeing V for Vendetta for the pretty (Hec, if you're out there, every picture I see of NP with the short hair appeals to me more and more. I might come to your way of thinking eventually), so am actually avoiding reading the comic until AFTER seeing the movie.
The one promise I'm making is that no matter how hard the movie sucks, I will still read the comic. I'm a LXG fan, I know better than to do otherwise.

I'm not so happy with those changes either. They really miss the point. But there is good stuff that is retained so I'll still go.

Heh. She's way too beautiful for a buzzcut to do anything except underscore her pretty. She's like Remedios the Beauty that way.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is there a synopsis of the original script for The Island anywhere on the Net?

Looks like a fairly generic romantic comedy, but has John Cusack (JOHN CUSACK!!), Diane Lane. Plug, dogs! I've heard about this one before, but my local theater has a sneak preview this Saturday and I think I may go.

Art Crawl!!!
I enjoyed the book.
Plus, I just read (in the AKC Gazette) that the director adopted the two Newfoundlands that played the part of the Newfie in the movie.

I just saw Willard. It was what you'd expect from a movie about Crispin Glover going crazy and getting rats to eat people.
But Strega once said the DVD was worth checking out for Crispin Hellion Glover's video for "Ben" and the commentary.
Oh my God. The commentary.
It's...hilarious. And not intentionally. He is like the most humorless man alive, and he desperately wants to people see his new film What Is It? and he knows the name of everyone who is in his video, and Hollywood is evil with the money and the budgets and the glavin.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Bond casting is down to 4 people - but we don't know who. Although, according to that article, the front runner may well be Croatian.
ETA: All of my favorite candidates were never actually candidates. Aamir Khan, Jonathon Rhys-Myers, Don Cheadle . . . . And, yes, I am aware that I probably spelled every one of those names wrong.
