one of those very fine actors who is also an unabashed whore for roles
LIke Christopher Lee saying, roughly, "I'm an actor, people pay me to act."
Mighty fine shindig.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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 to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Myers was on "Shootout" on AMC and man was he kind of weird and boring.
Looked like a bad interview from where I sat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm amusing myself by reading bad reviews of "The Love Guru."
It's hard to imagine who the comedian thought the target audience might be for a slapsticky self-help/ice-hockey/ elephant-poo comedy.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I have read so many bad reviews of it that I now REALLY want to see it.
I wish I were kidding.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
On the other hand, the reviews of GET SMART are making me REALLY want to see the movie, which is a huge surprise, much as I like Steve Carrell.

It's a rare film that makes a reviewer consider giving up the movies altogether. My own Waterloo came forty-five minutes into "The Love Guru" when I briefly considered stabbing out my own eyes so that I wouldn't have to watch it any more.

"The Love Guru" is just a half a step up from a loop of monkeys throwing feces at each other. This isn't a case of just turning your brain off and regressing to a childhood sense of humor. You could have a full frontal lobotomy and "The Love Guru" would still never be funny. It's just vile, vile, vile. I usually try to stay even handed about films and freely admit that all opinions are subjective, but if you like this movie you are categorically wrong and should be sterilized for the good of the human race.

Wow. What's the source on that one?

All the ones I've seen have been terrible, and as a fan of the source, I think I should stay away.

comingsoon.net, I think. I pretty much went to rottentomatoes.com and clicked on anything that looked funny and/or bitter.
