Is the movie worth catching when it turns up on Sci-Fi (and is it going to need to be edited for television)?
Yes, and yes. It's just goofy and bad in the funny way, but Bruce has some very nice physical comedy. It'll need to be edited for swearing, and hopefully they'll edit out the interminable chase scene (I understood the joke, but chase scene jokes aren't that funny). Ted Raimi and Stacy Keach get some good scenes, too.
Found this quoted on LJ, but can't find the article:
"Katie Holmes may not be returning to the new Christian Bale "Batman" franchise, but pop singer and Cameron Diaz boy-toy Justin Timberlake is apparently eager to join the team. Timberlake has reportedly auditioned for the villainous role of Two-Face in the upcoming sequel, but is facing stiff competition from Liev Schreiber." -Salon.com
JT looks like he's 12. A sexy wrong 12, but still: babyfaced.
Liev Schreiber would rock, providing he doesn't have that "I Can't Believe it's Not Selleck!" 'stache.
The John Cusack phenonemon:

Heh. That's a spot-on article on Cusack. I ended up not going to the preview screening of Must Love Dogs last week, and from everything I've heard, it's a boring, formulaic rom-com without much redeeming value. Yet I'm tempted to shell out the bucks to see The Cusack in the theater doing that Cusack thing. I recall, there was even a tongue-in-cheek website a few years ago that campaigned to put him in the Oval Office.

That's a spot-on article on Cusack.
Except it ignores everything before Say Anything. Bloody late-comers thinking they get the John Cusack mystique.

I liked him quite a bit on
Sure Thing
and
Better Off Dead,
but I gotta admit he didn't really make me go WOW until
Say Anything.
Although... the characters he played in those earlier movies did have similar traits to Llyod Dobler.
