How can you say that when Snakes On A Plane will be coming out next year?
Because I have no magic in my soul?
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

it speaks volumes
Yeah, but they're volumes we already own. Murdering villain who thinks he's Above The Law, has no concern for his allies nor common decency, and is a shame to his country? No, I got that one last year sometime. Is there a new edition?
What do you have to do to get impeached in this country? Oh, wait. I know the answer to that one. Well, could we arrest him then? Who's in charge here?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't find an actor salary site! My google-fu has deserted me!
But I think Foxx (and Farrell too) is making $20M for Miami Vice. Tucker's a lucky bastard.
eta: or $10M. Reports conflict. Even pay with Farrell, though.

If it's $10M I bet they've got a piece of the gross then. Although I guess Foxx is still technically "unproven" for opening a movie and Farrell has been a bust on his so far, so maybe that's all they get.

Ah, Massachusetts.
Attorney general shuts down Whole Foods holiday opening
Many of the state's Puritan-era blue laws, passed in the 1600s to keep colonists at home or in church on Sundays, have been repealed, such as a ban of liquor sales on Sundays. But one that remains in effect requires all stores, except convenience stores and gas stations, to close on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
Here's my favorite bit:
"Besides disadvantaging competitors, a Whole Foods opening would harm consumers, due to lack of choice in the marketplace for consumers to shop and compare prices for the best deal."
That's right. It's much fairer to consumers to not have anyplace open at all.

And, does he get to play the Don Johnson character, or is he stuck as the sidekick?
but the most important question is -- will he have a jheri curl?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The weather outside is horrible. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
Everyone should order in for lunch, unlike me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah, same here.
