Yeah, surely they could have found somebody that embodies the feister terrieresque qualities of Stephanie Plum better.
Meanwhile, a friend just sent me this link to a trailer for Mei Mei a film adaptation of the Chinese version of Cinderella.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I just watched 13 Going on 30. Could Jennifer Garner BE any more adorable?

I haven't seen 13 Going on 30, but from the movie poster, it's obvious that Jennifer Garner has adopted a Praying Mantis style Kung Fu for the film, as opposed to the generic kickboxing she used in Alias. How many people does she kill in the movie?

Hey. New board.
I think that's my favorite Jennifer Garner role. Even more than the good seasons of Alias - though I liked the show I never quite believed she was really such a badass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never seen Jesse Eisenberg in anything. Is that a bad thing? I'm thinking Zombieland is supposed to be worth watching.
(I say this because his face on all those Social Network posters looks so damned familiar, but his CV means nothing to me)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Zombieland was fun.

Ooh. And it's on Netflix Instant Watch. Brill.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm the only person who watched the family show where the kids were Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, and Eric Christian Olson.

Jesse Eisenberg is what would happen if Michael Cera and Andy Samberg had a baby.
I've become obsessed with the parody trailers for The Social Network.
"I'm going to sue you in Internet court!" Haha. Good times.
