I'm not sure there are words in any human language for how much those movies need to stop being made.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

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.

And yet, he'll be sharing romantic scenes with Christopher Walken. Even with the fat suit, that's kinda true to the John Waters spirit.
Plus, they can both sing and dance. I'm kinda looking forward to it.

While Ratatouille has been getting mostly rave reviews (“Ratatouille” is a nearly flawless piece of popular art), I was amused by this review in Time Out New York, where the reviewer was too grossed out by the concept of a rat in a kitchen to enjoy it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah, but Travolta looks disturbing and freaky in drag. It's not real drag
Amen to this. Divine was brilliant. And Harvey was utterly faboo and the guy I saw play Edna in LA was fantastic (as was Jim J Bullock as Mr. Turnblad. Holy fuck was their number to gether funnier than I don't what). It's funny if the audience *KNOWS* that it is a large, gay, deep voiced man in a dress playing Edna. It's not funny if it's creepy John Travolta (who I actually like a lot) trying to desperately NOT look like a drag queen.
Anyone have any links to how John Waters feels about the movie and its casting? I know that he LOVED the stage musical. And they must have gotten some sort of permission from him to do the movie, but I wonder how he feels about the final product and the casting?

Weren't there some rat issues in NYC that shut a bunch of restaurants down recently?

There was a bunch of rats that shut down one restaurant recently: [link]
There were a dozen or so rats happily frolicking in a KFC, and all the local TV stations showed up to film them. The KFC had passed its inspection a few weeks before. (It's now permanently closed).
Since then, the Dept. of Health has gotten a lot more strict in its inspections.

Was that related to the footage of the KFC with the rats running all over it, or was that a separate incident.
Heh, and my question is answered.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Read Tom's post to mean yes, they shut a lot of restaurants down. It would be nice if we could have those letter grades like they have in L.A. County.

There have been about four restaurants that have been closed in my neighborhood, all with pretty high scores (NYC has a point system that counts the number of violations). They all opened again within a week or so.
