He's the only "[insert name of actor here] in [insert name of movie]" star I can think of who's geeked out about playing Dungeons & Dragons on national television. While not necessarily an indication of intelligence, that buys an enormous amount of cred with me.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

I wonder if that was his hair.
I strongly suspect hairpiece. Putting hair on actors is one of the single most common make up applications for pros. You'd be very, very surprised, I think, to find out just how many actors out there are never seen with their normal hair. More than you would think are prematurely balding.
And even when not balding, it's actually much easier to just do a hairpiece, rather than try to get somebody's normal hair into a period style, or some complicated fashion style.

After I heard that, one of my life/career goals became "To play D&D with Vin Diesel."

Heh, aim really high: "To play D&D with Vin Diesel and Stephen Colbert." Too bad SC is in New York - they could start a Hollywood gaming club (heh, typed gamine at first, of which I'm sure there are plenty), or open a gaming shop a la Joey Pants and his Cigar Store.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
John Cusack to star in Steven King movie.
I think it would be a nifty bifurcation of his career if he were to be both the romcom guy and the horror guy.

Man do I hate Varietyspeak. Not only do they say stupid shit like "pic will lens this summer," instead of "the film wil begin shooting this summer," these idiot hacks can't even spell 'lens' right:
Pic will lense [sic] this summer. Location is yet to be determined.

"Lense" is an accepted variant of lens. Either way, they've been making stuff up for a century now.

Is it a prescriptive issue? Does anyone have the etymology of the spelling variants?

Oh, for the....
I suppose if the spelling is an acceptable variant, but still....
t head explodes

The actual jargon doesn't bother me. Those words are actually used by people in the craft when speaking about it. I know of no one who uses "pic," "lens," or "ankle," in conversation.
