Nah, that's cool. Sorry I got touchy -- I was upset when I read it because I'm fond of them but I didn't want to say that for some reason.
I think GLAAD saying:
"Shalit's bizarre characterization of Jack as a 'predator' and Ennis ( Heath Ledger) as a victim reflects a fundamental lack of understanding about the central relationship in the film and about gay relationships in general"
and
"Shalit has every right as a film critic to criticize Brokeback Mountain, but his baseless branding of Jack as a 'sexual predator' merely because he is romantically interested in someone of the same sex is defamatory, ignorant and irresponsible."
along with demanding retractions and firings etc is a bit much considering if you Google "Shalit son gay" or "Gene Shalit gay" you see the article he wrote for the Advocate, that he's a member of P-Flag, that he contributed to a book called "Out of the Closets, Into our Hearts."
Good God. I didn't even know Uwe Boll had another movie coming out. And it's got Ben Kingsley and Michael Madsen in it! WTF? Hadn't they heard of Boll? (I'm not going to ask if they'd seen his previous work.)
Well, at this point I could wave a twenty at Michael Madsen and get him to star in a home movie. But I think Kingsley must have hired Burt Reynolds' manager to review scripts for him.
The woman on the poster for
Underworld: Evolution
does
not
look like Beckinsale. In fact, those posters are faking me out for
BloodRayne.
I have, however, finally seen
Underworld,
so I'm ready for the schlock.

Maybe she's had more plastic surgery done?
I think it's more a case of pale makeup, neon blue contacts, and extensive Photoshopping to remove every hint of a pore for the poster.
She's still more recognizably herself than Summer Glau was on those Serenity posters.

Summer was starting out with a individual face. Kate's been photoshopping herself bland in meatspace anyway. I mean, even knowing it's her, I can't see it. I could tell those pics were Summer. Bad Summer, but no one else.
Heh--the Chicago Tribune suggests 15 ways to save the Oscars (in addition to having Jon Stewart host). My favorite:
14. Let Jon Stewart protege Stephen Colbert interview stars on the red carpet, presenting them with an ego that is way bigger than even the most overpaid actor's.
