She seems quite determined to be a mess. But then, Drew Barrymore was too.

Because books.
But RDJ? I was rooting for.
Me, too. And none of his behavior was ever *for* the public, as far as I recall, the way Sheen's has been.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I feel like RDJ would go away when he was really fucked up, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My issues with RDJ are mostly of the failing-to-entertain-me variety. (Well, OK, I do side-eye that Rolling Stone interview where he went backsies on his former presentation of bisexuality. Sure dude, that was a calculated PR move... because bisexual male actors had so many more opportunities than straight ones back in 1980s Hollywood...) I'm glad he overcame his addiction problems and got his life back on track; I just haven't really enjoyed a performance of his since Home for the Holidays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
RDJ continually provides me bang for my movie going buck. I'm a happy little consumer. I think he's sexy and funny as shit, and makes a much better action hero than I'd ever have predicted (even though we don't see *him* doing most of the action).

Gah, he SO is. I even liked him when he was on Ally McBeal back in the day. (Shut up.)

Yeah. And he NEVER appears to have a strong appreciation for the fine forms of his male co-stars. Mmm-hmm.
But I like watching him on screen, even when he's phoning it in, because he's got charisma.
And there are enough stories of him being a mensch without the publicity machines around that I've got a fondness for him that's at about the Keanu level.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol was basically non-stop awesome. Something cool was always happening! It's over two hours long, but it doesn't feel it. The plot is just window dressing, and there are some decent character moments, but it's mostly just interested in being a great, fun action movie, and I can respect that. I like what this review says:
Bird shows us all his action setpieces not from the outside, saying "Isn’t this an awesome thing to see?!" but from the inside, saying, "Isn’t this an awful thing to be caught up in?"
Everyone's raving about the skyscraper scene, and it's definitely a highlight, the kind where you're having physical reactions to everything that goes wrong, but, holy shit, the car factory (or was it a parking garage?) was one of the coolest sequences I've seen in a while. So wonderfully choreographed.
We didn't get the Dark Knight Rises prologue, but we got a trailer! The movie looks awesome. Can't wait.
