Jayne ,'The Message'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
There was already a TV movie made of Knight Rider back in, what, 1992?, set in the year 2000. It was fantastic/bad.
All I remember about is KITT accidentally tasered James Doohan and them installing KITT's computer into a classic car for some reason.
Can you name that kiss?
I totally know 16!!! It's a really bad Colin Farrell movie. And I'm not talking about Alexander, either.
I knew 5, 7,9, 11. 24, and 31.
Hm. 1, 4, 5, 9, 17, 26 for sure. (And I know I've seen 8 and 23, but can't make the title come to mind).
That's either a testament to the type of movies I (don't) watch, or how memorable I find the kissing.
on edit: Remembered 8 (oddly popular DVD here), and finally came up with the real title for That Oh-So-Important-Movie-That-Everyone-Liked-But-Me. And for some reason my mind kept avoiding looking at 7.
I knew 1, 3, 7, 9, 15, 17, 23, 25, 30, 31. The funny part is, half of them I haven't seen, I just guessed from the characters.
off to update netflix queue...
I knew 1, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 33. Was wrong about 3 though.
They should have included the kiss from Dude, Where's My Car?
Hollywood frets over the weak opening of Mission: Impossible III.
...Hollywood is left pondering who can still legitimately be called a movie star. Last year, the late Radar magazine conducted a (never-published) survey of agents, producers, and executives. One question was, "Who is the industry's most desirable actor?" Even then, Cruise was not the favorite. "I don't think it's the couch-jumper any more," the head of one studio division said at the time. Brad Pitt won almost by default even though he is hardly a sure thing (Troy, Fight Club, Meet Joe Black), while second place went to Will Smith.
Many of those polled struggled to come up with names. "Is Pixar a man or a woman?" asked a producer after groping for answers. "A Pixar image is the single most compelling image."
"There is nobody who's a star," said one marketing executive. "There are a lot of good-looking people—but they're not movie stars." And that may go a long way toward explaining what Anderson Cooper is doing on the cover of this month's Vanity Fair.

Yeah, cause $48 million is a terrible opening weekend. (Pre-Memorial Day for the third episode of a franchise.)

Well, it was significantly below Hollywood expectations. (I can't say if those expectations were realistic.)
I think that might be the problem. They've gotten used to slapping Mr. or Ms. Bankable on some sequel and expecting there to be stampedes.
