JGL didn't often have the chance on 3rd Rock, but it was magic when he did have the opportunity to play his character, the elder of the aliens. He displayed the age, grace, and wisdom of the entity who was only wearing the disguise of a teenaged boy, and he did it with apparent ease. I learned to appreciate his talent then.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Thanks, smonster. It was a weird moment for sure. I just kept thinking, "I *knew* I should have checked!!"
And much ~ma to your grandfather. I hope he sticks around to annoy you for many years still!

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
His work in "The Lookout" is genius, also, and still comic, despite the dark subject matter and him playing brain-injured....he made me believe it and that's a hard thing to fool me about...I'm very critical of actors, well, gimping it up, although I'm not one of those people who think every disabled part should be played by a disabled actor. Two words about that: Hugh. Laurie. But JGL has got to be up in the top %.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
My coworker was saying today that she was embarassed to admit both that she had seem that and that she didn't remember JG-L being in it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently Ryan Reynolds recited the Green Lantern oath to a young fan at Comic Con on demand.
Did people bitch about his casting as GL? I'm hugely biased, but the love just keeps growing and growing.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I had forgotten he was in it, actually. I hope they paid him a lot of money.
