I've heard the same rumors about Kilmer's on-set behavior...and interviews with him seem to bear out his...um...otherness. Definitely marching to his own bongos.
Brando? Notorious!
I heard Eward Norton talking about working with his heroes, Brando and DeNiro on The Score. In a cafe scene, he's all nervous andafraid that he can't hold his own with these legends. With cameras rolling, Ed looks around and sees that Brando is oblivious to the bottled water he's pouring down the front of his shirt and DeNiro is asleep. So much for awe.
I'm amazed that Ed Norton has only made 20 movies! Credited anyway.
Did Polter-Cow see this? [link]
M. Night Shyamalan is apparently going to do a live-action version of Sunil's beloved "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
I haven't gotten around to seeing "Lady In the Water" yet, but I've been told that I'm not missing anything.
OK, not P-C, but WTF? Knee-jerk reaction is that I'm against a live action version. Why? Why not just make a full-length movie that's animated?!?

KKBB fanfiction. Heavy on the gay, but that's not all of it. "Noir Enough" was amazing.
thanks, SA!! that'll give me something to read at lunch.
"Lady In the Water" started out good. Or interesting at least. Was curious to see where it'd go. Then M. Night appeared as the Glorious Writer Who Will Save The World, and my eyes rolled so hard I hurt myself, and then the movie became ridiculous. Practically every scene yanked me down from the suspension of disbelief I was trying so hard to keep aloft.
I fear what he will do with, or to, Avatar. It might be all right, though. He's a good director. As long as he doesn't write the script and he keeps his own heavy messages out of it, it could be good.
Are James Cromwell and M. Knight Shyamalan working on the same movie "Avatar"? Or are they two different movies?
James Cameron, you mean? Two different movies.
Yes, Cameron.
Are they based on the same anime? Or is it just a coincidentally identical title?
The latter. "Avatar" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" are different. The first one is about aliens and uses some cool CG techniques (read about it in the Times today). The second one is about a boy that is saving the world from a bunch of people that can manipulate fire using the power of martial arts. He does this by manipulating earth, wind, water, AND fire using different types of martial arts. Awesomely. Also, it has funny things and good characters, which the first one may or may not have.
And if M. Night Shymalan actually makes a live-action version of it, I will kick him in the nuts.
